Opposites Attract: Black and White

"The black and white trend continues to be a strong trend into the Spring. We've even seen it on the runways for Fall.  The stark contrast between black and white creates a clean, modern look." says the new style voice of

JC Penny, Nina Garcia.

I adore the Black + White trend for fab fashion and haute homes.  It's always bold and can be a little bit mod or very sophisticated. It makes an impact and sometimes surprises with the attraction of two opposites. Most of all, black and white for me, is chic and classic.  Here are some of my favorite finds.

Chanel can do no wrong in my fashion
notebook. The Spring 2013 Runway show
featured Coco's iconic color palette in a
big way. Look #30 was one of my faves.
