You people! What do you want from me? A new blog post? Well, I’m working on a big post for next week; trying to finish up a guest post for Shrimpton Couture<\/a>; worrying about the guest posts I promised Sandra<\/a> and La Belette Rouge<\/a> ages ago; testing out new functionality for the blog; and making some new jewelry whenever I manage to tear myself away from the computer. Plus I’m doing all this while in a permanent peach-sangria haze. You try that! It’s difficult.<\/p>\n

While I don’t have the time and energy to do a proper WendyB post here at this very second, I have been keeping up the posts on my Francis blog* because there’s been so much happening at ye olde Christian Francis Roth studio. Check out all the awesome peeps who have been visiting us there (and joining us for post-visit peach sangria).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if you’re not up-to-date on the super-viral Francis subway map dress, you can catch up on that here. I finally got a subway map dress for myself (the last one in the studio, thank you very much, though it was a couple of sizes too big) and Jean the amazing seamstress<\/a> took this picture as she was altering it.<\/p>\n

My hands are awkwardly placed to avoid pins.<\/p><\/div>\n

Even the fashion police<\/a> couldn’t hate on this fun dress (you know what I normally think of self-proclaimed fashion police<\/a>) but feel free to go over there<\/a> anyway and leave a comment telling them how much you love this dress. If you want to be my subway map twin<\/a>, act fast. Nordstrom has the dress reduced to $186.90 but only size 12 is left. At Bloomie’s, the dress is still at $262.50, but at least they have sizes 6 and 8 in addition to 12. I’d recommend going down a size from what you usually wear. Of course, if you’re in New York, it doesn’t matter what size you get because Jean will take care of your alterations needs. I have to brag about Jean for a moment. She’s featured in InStyle’s new Makeover issue and I will be scanning that in here eventually, but since it might take me a while, run out and buy the magazine so you can admire her work.<\/p>\n

*All good things must come to an end. As I reported here<\/a>, I stopped writing the Francis blog after six months. Later on, it was deleted, so I took out all the dead links in this post.<\/em><\/p>\n
