When In Doubt, Wear Black

If you have one of those days where you look into your wardrobe and can't think of anything to wear (we all have those days!), an all-black outfit is always a great way to go. Not only does it make you instantly classic and elegant, but it also gives you a great opportunity to play around with accessories to add to your black canvas. I love these two all-black outfits worn by Olivia Palermo and Bianca Brandolini D'Adda. They are definitely going in my inspiration folder and I'll look at them the next I have "I have absolutely nothing to wear!" mini-crisis.

Black + brown

Many say that mixing brown and black is a fashion no-no, but when worn together with the right shades this colour combination can be brilliant.

Yellow, Black, Gold

I've always thought that wearing yellow and black automatically transforms you into a bumble bee, but my mind quickly changed after seeing this photo of Alexandra Golovanoff.

And topping it off with gold shoes is brilliant!

Black clothes and blonde hair. It does not have to become more complicated than that.

I can see a pattern in my latest posts: black leather. It works wonders.

Eye Love Black Magic

A how-to video guide on how to achieve beautiful, black, smoky eyes. This look is a classic for me, though I rarely actually take the time or make the effort to do this look. And also, I dread the fact that my eye make-up will probably end up all down my face, or that I'll end the night with enormous panda eyes. But going through the make-up stages step by step with make-up artist, Daniel Sandler, has inspired me to try it out in the nearest future. I'll just have to remember to check my make-up regularly during the evening and go light on the champagne!

Will you be trying it out this Christmas?
