Never Is the Next New Thing

Going Back to Cali

by

This is what I wore when I went out with the gorgeous bloggers of L.A. last month: head-to-ankle black.

Kate Moss for Topshop fringed jacket.
My only Topshop acquisition ever.

Only my Hogan shoes broke up the black.


I found these shoes marked way down but almost didn’t get them. Luckily, MrB insisted because I’ve been wearing them constantly. They look and feel like high-heeled robot sneakers.

You might be wondering why I haven’t shared any pictures of the bloggers from that evening out. To be perfectly honest, the ladies were shooting heroin into their eyeballs and touching livestock in inappropriate ways all night; therefore, I don’t have a single picture that’s safe to share. Here’s a little LL Cool J as a consolation.

    Well, as long as you had a great time. I can’t see why not with those damn funky shoes!

  14. “Robot sneakers” LOL!

    touching livestock in inappropriate ways all night Ah, maybe that’s why those dudes at the next table were giving us the stinkeye.

  15. Oh, and your outfit was amazing. If I were two sizes smaller I would’ve mugged you for that jacket.

  16. Thank god you went to the bloggers night so at least there was a touch of decorum and propriety! You wore great shoes too, can Mr B come shopping with me one day?

  19. You forgot the part about the inappropriate clothes I wore!

    You looked great in that fringed jacket, Miss WendyB! And the shoes are superb!

  20. Hilarious! I would pay to see the inappropriate livestock touching. In case you’re holding out.

  26. I love Hogan shoes and how come you make a Kate Moss number look fantastic. Damn the livestock for spoiling the pictures!

  30. Oh LL COOL J is the way to my heart. He is going to be in NYC in Feb and then Atlantic City. I really, really worked on recuiting people for a one night trip to go see him with me. Fabulous choice of videos as a way to express yourself.

  32. The one Topshop piece you own is the one that got away from me. I looked too late on the site and my size was all gone! 🙁 You look amazing in it, very cha cha cha!

  35. Haha well, you gotta represent for all those New Yorkers in head-to-toe black. You look fantastic–love the fringed jacket.
