One good thing about the French scaring me half to death with their traditional Bastille Day flyover<\/a> was discovering gorgeous blogger Claire from The Fashion Bomb<\/a> via Twitter, where she, like me, was bitching about having a 9\/11-type fright. Turns out Claire is a Hotlanta<\/a>-native-turned-New-Yorker who is finishing up a two-year stint in Paris. We arranged to meet at Cafe Etincelle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before getting together with Claire, I checked out her blog (motto: “All urban fashion … all the time”). One of her regular features is Fashion Bombshell of the Day<\/a>. Readers send in their pictures, Claire puts them up, and the commenters go all Hot or Not<\/a> on a bitch’s ass. They don’t hold back. Here’s a sample comment from MrsBliss about Ivory of Los Angeles<\/a>: “I’m sorry but her looks are geechi<\/a> at best and all the same (repeat offender!). The chinese store plastics and greasy hair & skin is a DON’T …” Holy crap! I guess I was too focused on Ivory’s great smile, hair and attitude to notice all of that.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t dressed to impress MrsBliss the day I met Claire so I had to ban her from posting a picture of me on her blog. But that doesn’t stop me from sharing a photo here. Check out Claire’s Grace Jones t-shirt.<\/p>\n

What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nT-shirt:<\/strong> Splendid
\nShorts:<\/strong> Sanctuary
\nSunglasses:<\/strong> Prada (2010<\/a>)
\nBag:<\/strong> Sonia Rykiel (2009<\/a>)
\nShoes: <\/strong>Vera Wang Lavender (2010<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn’t realize until I saw the picture that I had gold studs on my shorts and silver studs on my purse. It’s starting to look like I have a stud obsession<\/a>. But I got those shorts because they were the only black shorts in my size in a particular store when it was 103 degrees out and I NEEDED to get out of the jeans I was wearing. I barely noticed the studs. Honest!<\/p>\n
