Last night, we went to a fundraiser for Robin Hood<\/a>, which is an awesome organization that fights poverty in New York. One hundred percent of the money donated goes directly to people in need because Robin Hood’s Board of Directors underwrites all fund-raising and administrative expenses. Jon Stewart hosted the evening and the Black Eyed Peas<\/a> performed. I’m a big Fergie fan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Peas<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Fergie and back-up dancers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
I wore a sheer vintage dress over a vintage navy-blue slip. I got the dress from Decades<\/a> in 2007. This is the first time I wore it because it took me a long time to get the slip.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Worth the wait?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

It was a little cool out, so I wore a beautiful jacket by my designer friend Zang Toi<\/a> over the dress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In a cab, with another cab in the background.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Gigi the dog thought my outfit was delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Slurp!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span><\/span>peaking of Zang, he’s having a sample sale today and I’ll be there showing some of my jewelry! If you’re in NYC and would like to go, contact me ASAP at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com and I’ll send you the information.<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: Here’s the New York Times story<\/a> on the Robin Hood event. It reminded me that I failed to mention that Aretha Franklin also performed! I think I was so distraught that her inauguration hat<\/a> didn’t show up to the event that I just blocked that part of the evening out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
