A Note

July 24, 2009 by WendyB

While having Bellinis at a hotel bar in Paris, I pointed out that there were little notepads and pencils on all the tables. I wondered if they were for the kind of peeps who would be hashing out some kind of multi-billion-euro business deal over drinks. Those peeps always need a pad for writing lots…

I’ve Got Heart

July 23, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC did a little Photoshop work on Tuesday’s sequined pants photo so you can see it without the ugly carpeting. Last night, I decided to go with a tough biker chick look for our eighth wedding anniversary dinner at Balthazar. Here I am in my leather vest, hanging around with some graffiti and…

Ashish at Browns and Other Sequined Stuff

July 22, 2009 by WendyB

I can’t believe I was just in London and didn’t go to Browns! WTF! Well, I had more important things to do most days. But I love looking at the Browns website and I definitely regret not squeezing in a visit in person. Right now I’m going crazy over a couple of pieces by Ashish,…

Paris, Day 6: More Castelbajac

July 20, 2009 by WendyB

After going to the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac store in London and finding cute shoes and a top, I was unable to resist a look at the Paris store…just in case I missed something! I tried on the dress below in both blue and green. It was adorable but a couple of sizes too large and…

Paris, Day 5, Part Deux: Blogger Dinner

July 18, 2009 by WendyB

A highlight of day 5 in Paris was meeting handsome blogger Thom and his gorgeous fiancee, Sharon, for dinner at Le Train Bleu. They live in Vancouver but just happened to be visiting Paris at the right moment. Oddly, we all enjoyed discussing this episode of Family Guy over dinner. MrB took this picture of…

Paris, Day 5, Part I: Outfit

July 17, 2009 by WendyB

Today I wore the top and the shoes I got at the Castelbajac store in London. I can only understand a few words in French, but I instantly comprehended the lady on the Metro who pointed at my feet and said (in French), “Your shoes…superb…superb.” MrB and I caught two other Metro mademoiselles giving me…

Paris, Day 4: Feeling Artistic

July 16, 2009 by WendyB

We started out the day with lunch at L’Avenue with our Paris-based friend James Lieber. Thanks for lunch, James! After lunch, MrB and I headed to an exhibition of graffiti art called Born in the Streets. I was thrilled to be able to wear my new Francis graffiti dress while surrounded by graffiti. It was…

Paris, Day 2: A Partial Reveal

July 14, 2009 by WendyB

I was on a secret mission outside Paris yesterday. I’m not ready to tell you the whole story, but here are some bits and pieces. We stayed at the most amazing inn in Corbie. It’s called Le Macassar and we recommend it highly for the wonderfully hospitable proprietors, Miguel and Ian, and their stunning Art…
