I love<\/a> to take<\/a> boat rides<\/a> when I’m traveling. Maybe I’m a sailor at heart. I certainly dress the part on occasion, thanks to designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.<\/a><\/p>\n

While too many viewings of Titanic<\/em> have scared me off ocean crossings<\/em>, I never get tired of the Bateaux Mouches<\/a> in Paris. During a visit to the City of Light <\/a>at the start of this month, MrB and I risked being trampled by some very large and aggressive tour groups in order to cruise the Seine again. (Beware of the smallest ladies in any tour group; they’re vicious!) The experience wouldn’t be complete without an official on-board tourist photo.<\/p>\n

What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nT-shirt:<\/strong> Splendid<\/em>
\nShawl:<\/strong> Zang Toi (I’ll have to ask Zang what year I got this)<\/em>
\nArm warmers:<\/strong> Stacy Lomman<\/a><\/em>
\nJeans:<\/strong> Citizens of Humanity (2011)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Castelbajac (2009<\/a> and going strong)<\/em>
\nPurse:<\/strong> Sonia Rykiel (2009<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, the real star of this picture is the lanky photobomber behind us. He’s not doing anything highlarious, but his height and sneakers made me think of basketball player Chris Bosh<\/a> videobombing LeBron James<\/a> and that IS highlarious.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/center><\/p>\n

The existence of that clip consoles me somewhat for the loss of a couple of old highlarious videos: Kathy Griffin’s “Knock the dicks out of your mouth” moment on CNN<\/a> and Jennifer Lopez’s “Defend your outfit” response<\/a>, both of which are no longer on YouTube. I loved to watch those when I needed cheering up. Why does YouTube want me to be sad? Rude!<\/p>\n

Anyway, while we were in Paris, MrB and I went to the Castelbajac store, where MrB picked out a pair of nautical-themed wedge shoes for me.<\/p>\n

Anchors aweigh!<\/p><\/div>\n

When I got home, I had celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival<\/a> give me a Minx<\/a> pedicure to match.<\/p>\n

I also got a Castelbajac top that has a seaworthy feel thanks to epaulets and stripes. The peplum<\/a> was the main selling point though. I wore it when I got back to New York for a bloggers’ night out.<\/p>\n

Here’s the whole crowd after our dinner at a restaurant I won’t name due to the obnoxious maitre d’.<\/p>\n
