Last night, we went to a fundraiser for Robin Hood, 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 performed. I’m a big Fergie fan.
The Peas
Fergie and back-up dancers
Worth the wait?It was a little cool out, so I wore a beautiful jacket by my designer friend Zang Toi over the dress.
In a cab, with another cab in the background.Gigi the dog thought my outfit was delicious.
Slurp!
UPDATED TO ADD: Here’s the New York Times story 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 didn’t show up to the event that I just blocked that part of the evening out.
you look GORGEOUS, i love that dress!
Gorgeous!! Is that the one you were saving for the June event?
Nope, Bex, I have a dress I’m even more excited about for June. CAN’T WAIT!
you look GORGEOUS, i love that dress!
love the dress! (but i’m a little freaked out by fergie’s dancers – scary).
You look gorgeous and I love your hair. Defintely worth the wait.
your dress is fantastic!
and your skin!!!
ms. B, i LOVE ur dress and jkt! the dress was def. worth the wait.

Hi there-such a fabulous dress and jacket, you look stunning my dear!
Definitely worth the wait. Definitely delicious. LOL.
Kick ass at the sample sale!
That dog!! It’s so precious!!
Really pretty!

I’m a Fergie fan too. I saw her live once, she was wearing the most ugly thing ever. It kind of adds to her character though that she can’t dress.
That dress is so gorgeous! One of my favourites on you… now I can’t wait to see the June one Bex mentioned!
I am so with you on the slip thing though, I reaaally need to bung a few of my dresses into a handbag and go try on some slips. It’s something you leave so long because you have to try them on with other stuff…
I’m just wondering how big your evening outfits closet has to be though, to accomodate all these amazing dresses
I love that dress! Is it long? It’s a beautiful color, too!
dalign Wendy you look fabulous! love the twenties feel to your dress and hair.missed your posts while on holiday. hope you had a terrific time at the event. good luck at the Zang sample sale.

Oh gorgeous!! I love the colour on you. And whatever you did with your hair, it’s terrific.
I know you too are a dedicated wearer of black but that colour does look amazing on you and even Gigi loves it( that dog has good taste).
Love the Zang Toi jacket. The whole outfit is super glam but not over the top.
And how in the world did you find a navy blue slip?????
Love the hair/makeup and the blue dress! I’m inspired to get out of the little black dress rut!
Pretty Face, I keep some of the dresses (especially gowns and very old vintage) in storage.
Shrimpton, steal away!
K.Line, my hair was curled and caught up in a little knot in the back (with some extra hair added to the knot).
Belle, that was the challenge! Finally I found a vintage slip place on the internet and lo and behold, they had the navy blue slip.
Thanks for your kind comments, all other peeps!
If I went to NYC all the time like I used to I would totally contact you.
Sadly, I don’t go there for work anymore.
you look so gorgeous! i especially love the picture of you and your puppy!
Seriously, is there a color that DOESN’T look good on you?
