While I was packing for last week’s trip to Los Angeles<\/a>, I remembered that I had unintentionally worn the same outfit and posed in the exact same location on L.A. visits in March 2008 and December 2008. This called for a three-peat, so I packed my Black Halo top, black Acne jeans, 16-year-old Karl Lagerfeld shoes<\/a> and my Prada Gaufre bag<\/a> — deliberately, this time. Guess which photo is from which trip!<\/p>\n

[UPDATED MAY 2012 TO NOTE THAT THERE WAS A SLIDESHOW HERE BUT IT WAS LOST WHEN SLIDE.COM SHUT DOWN.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give up? Here are the 2008 photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also brought my tiger-stripe Clovis Ruffin<\/a> dress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I can't resist an animal print.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dress:<\/strong> Clovis Ruffin from eBay<\/a>
\nNecklace:<\/strong> My own Cleopatra design<\/a>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Those Lagerfelds again
\nLip color:<\/strong> Lasting Lust by MAC<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my epic post on Sex and the City 2<\/a>,\u00a0 I was thrilled to see a one-shoulder dress on Kim Cattrall that looked so similar to my dress that I’m convinced it is a Clovis. If anyone finds out for sure, let me know.<\/p>\n

To see my L.A. blogger bitches<\/a>, I wore the same Alexander McQueen dress I wore for a blogger meet-up in Phoenix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heading back to the hotel room after dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dress: <\/strong>Alexander McQueen (2010)
\nNecklace, purse, shoes and lip color:<\/strong> all the same as above
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, I had all my L.A. wimmins wear the silver Cleopatra earrings<\/a> just like the New York bloggers did<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are Alicia of Instant Vintage<\/a> and Sister Wolf of Godammit I’m Mad<\/a> looking matchy-matchy in their Cleopatra earrings and red lipstick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Deja Pseu of Une Femme d’un Certain Age<\/a> was covered in my work. In addition to the Cleopatra earrings she wore her own engraved Diana necklace<\/a> …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… and we made sure to point out her\u00a0 custom engagement ring<\/a>! I still have to write a post about how we redesigned her original ring and came up with the new piece.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I'm wearing my onyx skull ring.<\/p><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Kelsi of Stylesmith<\/a> and Dedicated Follower of Fashion<\/a> wore just one earring. Read why here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I missed getting close-ups of Miss Janey<\/a> and Sandra<\/a> but luckily they did their own posts! Check out them out here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Alicia<\/a> and Kelsi<\/a> wrote posts too. Sadly, I missed seeing some bloggers completely. If you’re an L.A. blogger who didn’t get to join us, holla at me in the comments so I can create an e-mail list and include you next time.<\/p>\n
