I'm not one to steer away from color or pattern, but I think there is something to be said for monochrome interiors.

So many ladies have been stepping out on the red carpet in white blouses and black skirts. It's a classic look that can be worn in many instances: a charity luncheon, a dinner party, a bridal shower, a business meeting. Oh the possibilities. 
When focusing on wearing more color — as so many of us are right now — don't forget the power of black & white accessories. Bold, modern and graphic, here's a wonder from Balenciaga to help you see my point. Whether it's a baguette or a Gucci stiletto, this accessory can serve you for seasons to come. 
I oft express my love for the mix of black and white; with that pairing, one can never go wrong. While shopping on Robertson, Nicky Hilton rocked the classy color combo in the form of a white hot Valentino bag, white Gucci flats, a black velvet blazer, and stovepipe jeans. To sass up her ensemble, she threw in a metallic scarf and black Tom Ford shades.
