Piano (Wo)Man


Pumps: Chanel
~
Despite the unfortunate and apocalyptic Noah's Ark-like rain we've been weathering here in the Big Apple (I got soaked twice yesterday), I was fortunate enough to finally meet the magnificent blogger/jewelry designer Wendy Brandes yesterday at her friend Christian Francis Roth's studio. (Click here to read Wendy's account of the night and to see what I wore.) Wendy, her designer friend Christian, and her two other friends Tina (food blogger) and Jen were every bit the funny, warm, and genuine people I imagined them to be! After seeing Wendy in the "piano dress," I knew I had to have one!

Wendy looking stunning as always

Do check out Christian's collection on his website; his clothes are impeccably made and reasonably priced. Thanks to Wendy and Christian for a fun evening!

Thumbelina! You have an impeccable talent of transforming runway style into street style! =)

(PS - I'm glad you liked my take on the leather skirt + bmaid top, it means a lot coming from you!)

OMG - you two ladies are too much fun :) "you're the most beautiful and fun headless woman I've ever met" - I love this kind of humour!!!
If two great minds are coming together it's having something of meeting of the Giants :) Like Nini & Hanh, Lucrecia & Jane, Nini, Hanh, Amee and Judy - always so much fun to watch and to become aware of!
I hope you have spend a great time together (at least no doubt about it!)!
I really like this dress a lot. It remnids me somehow of this alltime classic: http://www.costumecraze.com/ACC427.html ok, ok, just kidding... I like that the "piano" part is giving the dress a bustier style!! The YSL belt is the perfect match!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, with some sunny days hoepfully!
xoxoxo, S.

Hey Thumbelina! I thought for once I'd see what you look like but no, it's Wendy. (as in Peter Pan, I presume).

Thanks for your message - still can't send emails (but can receive, and thank god, can comment on blogs!!). I'll let Joanna know she can contact you. You both seem like lovely women, and the more people she can meet while she's in NY, the better.

For what it;s worth: it's about to pour out here on the Fork, too. It's glorious: tropical and peaceful & blissful birdsong summer.

I LOVE THAT PIANO DRESS!!! I want one, too : )
