London, Day 1: Standing in the English Rain

July 9, 2008 by WendyB

Greetings from sunny London. Look what the rain did to my carefully straightened hair!

Wearing:
McQueen jacket

Dorothy Perkins t-shirt (the black and white version of this)
Acne Jeans
Prada bag
Newsprint umbrella from Rain or Shine
My own skull ring

We arrived yesterday morning and spent most of the day napping, despite my good intentions of fighting jet lag by staying active. The rain made napping seem like a better option. At night, we went to see The 39 Steps, which was highlarious.

MrB laughed his head off

I’m looking forward to seeing gorgeous bloggers Sharon Rose and Miss L from Times of Glory tomorrow!

    Wendy, you look very chic and remain a fashion icon even with your curly locks (adorable, by the way)! And Mr. B is looking quite dapper in his blazer. Enjoy the London drizzle – it seems like an authentic way to experience that city!

    Hey Wendy, sorry I couldn’t meet up with you… new job and the fact that I’m off to Brazil next week means I’m literally frazzled…currently I’m in bed with some sort of an odd stomach bug trying to finish off 6 articles for a mag…. hope London is treating you well despite crappy weather….

    your hair still looks like it was intentionally meant to be straight with a slight wave! the same thing happens to me all the time and though it’s frustrating, it allows me to be creative with trying new hair styles.
