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.

    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.
