Opposites Attract: Black and White

(Image Via Sunny Gu)

"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.

Though the black and white trend is huge
for Spring and Summer, it was seen on the 
runways for Fall 2013, as well.

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.

The perfect pairing with the white and black
