Guys, I've discovered something magical, and I might never stop marbling ALL of the things. These DIY marbled pumpkin pumpkins are beautiful and unbelievably simple to make. And isn't marble so on-trend right now? The whole project takes maybe two steps and the best part is: you have everything you . . . Read the Post
The Look for Less: Chloé Susanna Studded Booties
I have been lusting after the Chloé Susanna Studded Booties for years now (seriously, I think this love-fest dates all the way back to 2009.) Years, I tell you. A quick Google search and you'll see why I'm so obsessed. Sometimes also referred to as the Chloé "Susan” or “Suzanna” ankle booties, these . . . Read the Post
“When It Becomes Dark” Vogue Japan July 2014
Holy stunning. This Vogue Japan shoot takes the LBD (little black dress) to a whole new couture level. The jaw-dropping dresses parade black (because duh, it is the best color after all) in pure drama. And the luxe designers include big names like Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent by Hedi . . .

Snag Her Style: Casual Goth Winter Wear
The minute I saw Ashley's casual take on Winter goth, I knew I had to get the look. I'm that girl who lives in blacks and greys, especially in the Winter-time. And Ashley completely rocks the grey marled cocoon coat, all black accessories, vampy lipstick (really want to try that color!), and messy . . . Read the Post
Tuesday Shoesday
I love a classic nude and black heel - especially for a wedding: subtle in the front, bold statement in the back (and yes, I will endlessly love a hint of black in a wedding day look.) And these beauties: totally affordable ... they're from Zara. Image via Fashion Painted Dreams // Shoes via . . . Read the Post
Tasseled Loafers
Ever since spotting these extra-preppy tasseled loafers on the lovely Emily Schuman (of Cupcakes and Cashmere), I've been dreaming of how on earth I could incorporate such structured flats into my somewhat edgier wardrobe. I like studs and leopard print, black-on-black, lace, not tassels and . . . Read the Post
Tuesday Shoesday
I am officially in the Halloween spirit and these cool grey studded heels with black floral corsages at the heels are the perfect inspiration this October.

Black Lace Bridesmaids’ Dresses
I am totally and utterly devoted to the color black. And these delicate black lace details on bridesmaids' dresses are just my cup of tea.

I’m Headed to NYFW!
I.am.SO.Excited. Like breathing-in-and-out-of-a-paper-bag-while-I-frantically-pack-and-unpack excited. My clothes are everywhere (but I swear I have a packing list!), my carry-on bag currently sits empty (here's what I'll fill it with!), I have a minimum of six electronic devices plugged and . . .

Color Crave: Coral
Coral is having a bit of a moment for me. Probably with summer coming to an end (crazy, right?) and my general allegiance to black and grey, I'm jumping on the bus just a little late with my summer color swoon, but I'm always late to the party, so go figure. Alas, a few sweet accessories to tide . . . Read the Post
Black + Gold Interior Design
I am obsessed with black and gold, whether it's in home and design, fashion, a great pair of shoes, glitzy kitchen wares, you name it, I want it. And though, in truth, I know a home full of black and gold is probably a bit too dark for my taste, these shots of black and gold interiors have me . . . Read the Post
The Classics, Made Edgy
I love these images of classic pieces - two-piece suits, trench coats, crisp blouses, vintage leather satchels, grey/white/black/tan/beige - made edgy with the right accessories (and of course, studs.) Images: For the Love of Pretty // Glitter & Pearls Tumblr burberry stud . . . Read the Post
Nude + Black Color-Block Sandals
Those gorgeous nude and back color-block sandals are by Giuseppe Zanotti and I have wanted them for months. I love a black heel because it goes with everything (at least in my wardrobe where everything is, well, black), but the nude front elongates the leg and is the perfect compromise. But alas, . . .

Street Style in Black + White
Black and white are wardrobe staples for me, so I'm always drawn to the color-blocked basics. And that black and white striped Tibi Peplum Jacket paired with white leather driving gloves - are you not in love yet? Images: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // . . . Read the Post
Wearing Black On Your Wedding Day
While I've done a similar post on this before (many moons ago on Glitter & Pearls), it's something I hold very near and dear to my heart (yes, I love the color black that much), and I thought it was about time I shared the highs and lows of wearing black on the big day ... Black is my color. . . . Read the Post

Wearing Black On Your Wedding Day
Black is my color. It speaks to me. And visibly slims my tush. Also, white washes me out. I literally matched my wedding dress. I am that pasty. It's lucky my husband likes me. I desperately wanted to wear a black wedding dress for about 3 seconds, and then I learned about Sarah Jessica . . . Read the Post
