Never Is the Next New Thing

New Year’s Outfits

by

For my traditional New Year’s Eve/birthday combination celebration last night, I wore a Clovis Ruffin dress from Shrimpton Couture, my faux-ny tail and earrings of my own design. Gigi the dog wore her own fur coat, accessorized with a giant tongue and a bitchy attitude.



UPDATED TO ADD: I’m wearing also the Lagerfeld shoes I mentioned here.
