Lounge. Wake. Live...

I love this new robe Anthropologie picked up for their stores and for on-line.  The trim is a crochet-like knit, and it is also great with leggings, jeans, or with cute bermuda shorts!  See more of my Fall 2010 Collection at Anthropologie in a a couple of weeks!

RIP

As an owner of a Pit Bull, the loss of Cesar Millan’s right hand Dog; "Daddy", saddens me. Especially, because he was the ambassador of what pit bulls would stand for if humans would give them a chance. To Cesar, Daddy was a longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation. He lived each day of those sixteen years happy and fulfilled as Cesar’s right-hand-“man,” helping to shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. He stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He successfully battled cancer and weathered chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards!

We will miss you Daddy!

In Loving Memory.

If you would like to honor Daddy’s memory and the contribution he made to improve the lives of other animals, you can make a donation to Daddy’s Emergency Animal Rescue Fund, which will provide assistance for dogs who are victims of abuse or violence, man-made disasters (hoarder and puppy mill rescues), and large-scale natural disasters (hurricanes, fires, and other natural catastrophes).

Wendy Glez Organic- WWD

I was interviewed by WWD a couple of weeks ago about my new Organic line that I am launching this Spring 2010.  Here is the article and a picture of moi, etc.  Check it out! The newspaper is on sale in almost all newsstands.

Santa Monica Vintage Expo

Ever since I was 16, I always wanted to go to the Santa Monica

Vintage Expo. So this last weekend I went with my Sis in tow. I new that I could find amazing things-but not this amazing!

I ended up buying a 1980s circa Gucci original silk burn-out velvet skirt and blouse ensemble, a 1970s circa Halston (brand new; with tags and all) jersey frock, and some Italian 1960s circa small wedge bronze sandals!

I could not believe the deals I got for these items!

"As yummy and comforting as fresh pastry, buttery jersey melts around crescent-shaped pockets. By Wendy Glez. "

My New Cascading Robe is now available at Anthropologie and Anthropologie.com
So Excited to be part of the Anthropologie Breakfast... and I still haven't taken mine off!

Bruno Dayan

In the same way that Helmut Newton and Dali, captured the eye of plenty of audiences, Bruno Dayan captured mine. The first time I discovered his pictures, I nearly fell out of my chair of amazement!



His photographs are SEXY-WITTY-WHIMSICAL-PROVOCATIVE-AND-BREATHTAKING!

What I am Wearing Now: My Favorite Wendy Glez Robe!

As I quickly walk out the door to either grab a quick bite to eat in Manhattan Beach, CA  or head out to work, I notice myself always grabbing my Cascadian Robe Cardigan! Whether I wear it with skinny jeans and my Repetto flats, or with leggings-Chloe boots-and a vintage waist belt, this cardigan is my favorite ‘IT’ item of the season.

Apparently-I am not the only one loving this Cascading Robe! Anthropologie stores and online will be carrying this versatile number in stores and on-line at www.anthropologie.com the first week of October. Stay tuned!

I am wearing (at my studio) Current Elliot Skinny Cords in taupe, Sigerson Morrison buckle slings, a vintage necklace, Melinda Maria Pyramid hoops, Gap tank, and a Wendy Glez Cascadian Robe Cardigan in black.

Craft Time! Award Ribbons

How I made the Award Ribbons for my Spring 2010 Shows:

So… I decided to decorate my booth (both for the NY and Vegas showings) to be on the quirky side.

I retrieved the “Young & Innocence” point of view of the collection and was inspired to do a “Carnival Fair” theme booth! All with Apothecary jars filled with yummy candies, hand made (with vintage fabrics and ribbons) award ribbons, candy pink pens, hand-embroidered award-ribbon theme Wendy Glez sign, 1960s hand crochet hangers; displaying my favorite pieces, and finally the beautifully wrapped gift boxes-wrapped by MOI!

Let me tell you-It was time consuming to make all those award ribbons by hand and to wrap all those presents!

But regardless, those of you who know me, that is what I live for! Create, Make and Craft! I have been collecting vintage ribbons, hankies, and fabrics since I was seven! So as you can imagine, I have boxes and boxes and boxes full of these wonderful delectables! Thus, as the time came to start my project, I definitely had lots to choose from.

Here is how I made my “Award Ribbons!”

This is what you need:

1. Ribbons-all colors and sizes; preferably grosgrain or petersham.

2. Big Button Kit (found at any sewing store)

3. Embroidery Hoop

4. 6”x 6” solid fabric squares (Silk dipioni is my preference)

5. Embroidery needle

6. Glue gun and glue sticks

7. Embroidery thread/yarn

8. Sewing machine

9. Iron

10. Felt

11. Safety pins

You start by pleating the ribbons you want to use on the sewing machine first, then you iron out; carefully folding the pleats straight. The second step, you draw out the number you want to embroider unto the solid fabric, then you use your embroidery loop to help you embroider the number/s. Third, you cut out a circle, then you wrap it around your button carefully placing all sides of the fabric inside, where you will then seal the button shut in the back with the back closure that it comes with. Then, you will turn on your glue gun and grab your ribbon and carefully add glue on the back of the button on the edge and little by little attach the pleated ribbon all around the button by curving the ribbon in an adding some extra room, so that the pleats will stay flat on the button. After that, then you repeat with another color-pleated ribbon and attach a round felt to the back and finally you can either sew or pin the safety pin to the back!

Voila! You have made the most fabulous award ribbons to use to either complete a gift, display it inside a shadow box paired with your baby’s first, second, or third year outfits or pictures. Sky’s the limit! They are so enticing; you would want to use them in so many ways!
