Black and White....the FANCY way!

Let's face it, black and white are great together! It's a classic combo! So, it's no surprise that this color duo made a comeback this past Spring. It graced almost every runway show, from Louis Vuitton to Alexander Wang to Michael Kors. 

I may be a bit tardy to this party (it is almost August after all), but with a little inspiration from friends I've finally done black and white the "fancy" way! We (me and my personal stylist ;-) thought it was important to add a little pop of color to the look, and this vintage layered necklace was the answer! And these retro Gucci sunnies worked perfectly with the classic theme.
