    Egads, how wonderful! I love the raincoat! I also love the ruching/”bubble” fabric on the dress (maybe it’s a skirt and top?) from Shrimpton Couture. And the DIY is great as well! Why do I even bother trying to choose one? I love them all!

    As soon as I saw these I was reminded of a candy my grandmother used to get. I googled it and they are Brachs Coconut Neapolitan Sundaes.

    I also came across this scarf when looking them up…

    Once again, you have expanded my horizons, Ms. B.

    HAHAHA I’m wearing that exact colour combination today, right down to my shoes.

    Could we please see more Wendy B jewelry? It could match the pink white and black…

    VERY cool themed post, Wendy!
    Is it wrong that what appeals to me most is the candy???? Need snack asap, then will be able to shop!!

    You can’t possibly wear any of those things without having matching candy.

    mmi really dig the first dress.

  26. Jen (MahaloFashion) says

    Love the rain coat
    I think black and pink are great together, but the white gives it a softness.

  27. iƱaki says

    August 26, 2008 at 5:02 am

    I think it’s a bit tricky to wear all three colours together. The result can be either quite trashy or very stylish. I quite liked how Frida Gianninni did it for Gucci for the S/S08 season.

    That raincoat looks lovely! As does the candy, I’ve never seen candy like that!

  31. Moira says

    August 28, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    What about Good ‘n Plenty as matching candy?!

    I love this color combo even if I don’t care for black licorice.
