. . . 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 . . .

the first dress - love it!
pretty dress and lovely table :)
Love it and... the shoes! WOW! Love them. Who is the designer?
Is there anything more beautiful than vibrant flowers and bold black and white on a dreary day? I think not...
Love the dress.
shoes please! soo cute!
love that black and white dress paired up with those beige pumps .. amazing!
Oh yes, stripes all the way! I have only one striped item of clothing---a dire situation which i must remedy immediately!
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
