Black is the New Black

The Pantone color of the year for 2014 may be Radiant Orchid (which I love btw), but black-on-black is an eternally chic color palette that's here to stay. All-black ensembles when done right exude a quiet sense of refinement and have a sharp aesthetic that never goes out of style. I typically add some texture to my all-black outfits to keep the look from being too, well, black. In this look the texture comes via the shoulder detail and the clutch, both in steel gray to stay within the monochromatic chic territory.

Have a great weekend!

No Shrinking Violet

What does one need to fight frostbite in style, you ask? A good dose of old-school grit and glamour, I would say! 

Old-school grit that makes you keep your chin up no matter what comes at you, and old-school glamour by way of timeless fur to add a ton of warmth, and some color to the dreary landscape while you are at it. 

Here's to being front-row fabulous, come sun, rain, or freezing temperatures! 

Have a great weekend, everyone!
