I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to post quite a few photos. Time to catch up!
House photographer GeorgeB took this picture of me, my designing friend Zang Toi and Zang’s friends at the holiday sale I had at Zang’s showroom last month. From left to right: Don, me, Zang, Jassemine, Jackson and Alan.
That's my jewelry on display.
Zang got Don all dolled up in a white suit with a matching white ascot and sheer white shirt.
WERQ!
Sorry, ladies — and gentlemen — but our photo of Don wearing the transparent shirt without the jacket came out blurry. I assure you it was a sight worth seeing.
The dress I wore that day is the “Wendy” dress I got from gorgeous blogger Cherie of Shrimpton Couture. Earlier in November, I got to wear the dress for Cherie herself when she came to town.
Cherie's coat is by Roberto Cavalli.
Meanwhile, back at Zang’s showroom, beauteous knitwear expert Stacy Lomman dropped by to say hello and found herself in a Hotel California situation. We didn’t let her leave until we’d forced her to try on all of Zang’s clothes and pose for GeorgeB’s camera. I kept saying, “One more gown!”
You can see the sexy cowl back in the mirror.
This time, GeorgeB used the mirror to capture the gown's ornate, beaded neckpiece.
Stacy has the perfect figure, doesn't she?

Stacy finally escaped after three hours. Believe it or not, she bravely came to my pop-up shop the next day. Most supportive friend in the world or masochist? You decide. (Thanks, Stacy!)
UPDATED TO ADD: Zang is having a great sale through December 23. Prices start at $30! Go to 30 West 57th Street, 7th floor, any weekday between 11 AM and 6:30 PM to check out the goods.
COWL BACK! COWL BACK! COWL BACK!

Oh, it’s just like being there. Except without the transparent shirt experience. Damn.

Love Zangs dresses, the black and pink is my favorite. You all look fab!
Supportive friend or masochist? Well, supportive friend of course! Besides, it wasn’t so bad being “forced” to try on Zang’s beautiful dresses. And to top it off — Wendy B. jewelry!!! I didn’t want to take to leave
That first photo makes me think of a “Friends” photo-shoot. You all look so ridiculously happy( as you should surrounded by so much gorgeousness). I am sure Stacy didn’t want to leave this beautiful Hotel California. You, she and everyone looks so lovely. Zang knows how to dress a beautiful women and turn her into a goddess.
Was that when you were fighting the flu? But you look incandescent!

That cowl back is OUTTA THIS WORLD! So beautiful! That is one lucky lady to get to try on such gorgeous pieces. And I wouldn’t mind borrowing that bod. : )
3 hours of trying on dresses? Sounds like fun to me.
Now I really wish I had somewhere to wear a formal gown!
Aw, you and Cherie! With dueling prints!
I vote “Most Supportive Friend in the World!”

Ooo – a love a white suit. Yum.
(The other stuff is good too)
Not every man can carry off a white suit, and he does it damn well! Zang’s gowns are stunning, esp the first hounds-tooth-esque one, I’ve never seen anything like it!
That dress is outstanding on you Miss Wendy, really a great look. And your friend Stacy is also looking fabulous, especially the first dress she is modeling, the black and white one — wow!
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
