Bold in Black and White

Once again, I know it's spring and I'm supposed to be all about color but I am still being inspired by black and white.  I mean, aren't the black and white striped window treatments in the Milestone Hotel in London above amazing?  How could you not be inspired by them.  Enjoy!

NYFW Fall 2013: Trina Turk

Red seems to be popping up in every collection for fall 2013 and Trina Turk was no exception.  According to the show notes " Trina Turk's fall 2013 collection signals a distinct brand evolution as she focuses on the sleek and chic style of California today. Her signature west coast optimism has been infused with a richly refined approach to fabric, detail and print. The result is a sophisticated collection full of striking new looks that are both easy and unforgettable." 

I personally loved the mix of black and white patterns above but I would also wear that plum colored toggle coat in the last photo. It would mix perfectly with all the grey on my closet, another color I've been seeing everywhere this week. More on that later. I also ran into Jonathan Adler as I was walking into the presentation.  You never know who you might see at fashion week.
