Fashion and Interiors: Black and White

January 11, 2012
Black and white images evoke so many thoughts: classic movies full of Hollywood glamour, formal dinners at posh restaurants, and a professional look that goes from day to night.
Modern renderings of black and white still bring up similar thoughts of classic and chic style.  But black and white is now combined with different prints, textures, and shapes.  The combination is hopelessly chic while still remaining fun.My black and white uniform is my cream and black lace tank under a black jacket paired with a black pencil skirt.   I’d also love, love LOVE a black chaise lounge with sleek accents or even the carved black table in the second picture!What black and white touches do you like?

    I have about a half a dozen black and white striped tops that I just can’t get enough of. I wear them with skinny jeans, flats and a combination of colorful accessories. I’ve been going back to black and white photography lately as well.

    I so enjoy black and white stripes on little ones. My sweet little one is adorable in a onesie with stripes, with a navy sweater and dark jeans. Too cute for words.

    OK….I am incredibly envious that you are AGAIN at the airport!!! I used to work in consulting and traveled 100% for my job…..and I loved it! I love being in a different city, meeting different people, working on new projects all the time. I miss my life on the road! I also love black and white home decor, I hope to one day have a zebra skin floor covering…faux is fine 😉
