Photo Love: Beyond Black and White with Kate Spade Spring 2012

February 6, 2012
Black and white is standard, right?

They make up the colors of a classic uniform.

They are the hues that you will see most at a formal event.

But I love how black and white can take on a totally different feel when they are paired with just a pop of color or combined in a funky print.

The newest Kate Spade collection uses black and white in a vibrant and lovely way; prints are pulled from the archives of Australian recording artist Florence Broadhurst and the cuts/styling are a little retro while remaining contemporary. Β Black and white doesn’t haveΒ toΒ be standard after all and you can go beyond black and white too!


Thank you to blogger buddy Kim for posting this campaign! Β I know what items I’ll be stalking now (ahem floral print dress, pink shades, and white trench with black piping!)

Have a lovely week!
