This month marks the 1st Year Birthday for Wendistry… It was this time last year that I was in the final stages of planning, designing, and painting the first hand-painted handbag collection, F/W 2015. Quite a bit has changed in a year… I’ve added a custom logo’d gold zipper pull, a wristlet strap, and higher quality, extra soft suede interior linings. Therefore, to celebrate and
No matter that each year takes me further and further away from crayons, tablets, new pens and that chalkboard smell, for me (right along right along with the BTS clothes and shoes), it also means updating the vanity drawer. I have a very dear friend who went to work for Mary Kay this year, and while I’m a born-and-raised Dallas gal, I’ve never used any

I still remember how I felt when I tried on my first pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans around 1982 when I was in the 7th grade. Grown up, curvy, sophisticated… Transformed. Now, I can’t even remember what kind of jeans I wore prior to that (Garanimals, anyone?!?). It was as if those delicious denim, woman-making wonders erased everything I had put on before, including my girlhood. My
Yep, we all know ’em, love ’em, and if we’re not one, we not-so-secretly want to be one: #GirlBoss. Hilz’s pantsuits aside, the #WomenWhoWork movement has been growing strong since the mid-70’s. Clearly we’re still not “Lean(ing) In” enough as more and more women say “Enough!” of trying to break the glass ceiling and instead go for the entrepreneur life. The dream of becoming a Girl
If you hadn’t noticed, fashion trends are leaning toward effortlessness more than ever. From athletic-inspired cropped tops to lounge and track pants, we’re seeing a shift from put-together looks to ensembles that embody a more “throw it on and go” aesthetic—and footwear is following suit. While delicate heels and classic pumps forever have a place, the recent crop of must-have shoes are uncomplicated silhouettes sans stiletto
Here we are, Dallas… Looking at August and September, our 2 hottest months of the year, and we’re also deep into the summer-event season. Weddings, vacays, brunches galore, the more relaxed pace allows us time to take stock for sartorial inspiration. Whoever decided that “event dressing” should mean a stiff shift dress and matching shoes should be ostracized. I mean, yes, it does work in
Get your green card out… Military green is back is a big way and makes an easy transition from summer to fall. Go for a jacket with an oversized-fit or a tailored waist. Pair it with cropped jeans and high-heeled pumps to join fashion’s battalion. Cap it off with a colorful clutch that’s sure to raise your rank. F/W 2016 Wendistry “Legacy” clutch…
When I received the invitation from Codie Sanchez Baker and ThreadsRefined inviting me to appear on her afternoon show and discuss “How to Start Your Own Fashion Brand,” of course I couldn’t refuse a woman who I knew would handle this subject with great intelligence and skill. As an emerging designer who knows many up-and-coming designers in Dallas, we live the challenge every day with the thoughts

Having just come back from 3 weeks in Italy, I feel EXTREMELY qualified now to talk on this subject… I used to be a horrible packer. Everything for every situation I could possibly imagine went into the suitcase(s). No more. There’s nothing like international travel that makes you realize what’s vital and what just doesn’t matter. And, unless you’re traveling like this… …, your situation
Shown at New York Fashion Week, Wendistry is a contemporary hand-painted accessories atelier with a focus on capsule collections, “slow fashion” standards, and artisanal functionality.
But I have a higher purpose. Helping women discover that fashion has the power to transform, it’s not so much about who you are as it is about who you WANT to be.
My clients look to make a statement without saying a word. Ladies who look for exclusive items they don’t have in their closet. Are YOU a Wendistry woman?
