. . . always thought to have preferred crisp whites and soft, neutral and subdued tones — this is — before these strikingly bold black & white stripes came along and changed everything . . .

I love that dress, I spotted it on Shopbop!
My post yesterday I had some stripes in there…total trend. A classic at that!
Black and white inspiration indeed.
But can we please talk about those shoes…

Stunning! I’m usually not a big black and white fan, unless they’re polka dots. But this post has won me over. This dress is amazing! Love the beige pumps, goes perfect with the dress. The table setting is just beautiful! The color just pops off of that black and white.
It is always a pleasure visiting your blog! Every visit is just amazing eye candy! This is why your blog is one of my absolute favorites! Take care.
God Bless,
Charmaine
Oh yes, stripes all the way! I have only one striped item of clothing—a dire situation which i must remedy immediately!
love that black and white dress paired up with those beige pumps .. amazing!

Love the dress.
Is there anything more beautiful than vibrant flowers and bold black and white on a dreary day? I think not…
Love it and… the shoes! WOW! Love them. Who is the designer?
pretty dress and lovely table :)
the first dress – love it!
Oh..how I love black and white! Beautiful post!!

I love this. I’ve been obsessed with black and white lately. Which is very unlike me.
