For The Love Of Lace

         Let me start out by saying what a HUGE fan of lace I am.  I think lace brings a classic and feminine feel to everything.  Its been a detail that I have been absolutely obsessed with for quite some time.  There is so many ways you can rock this fabulous trend.

 I Absolutely adore this.  Its perfect for work, a business dinner, or just because its simply adorable.  I love the different shapes in the outfit.  The oversized blouse with the fitted lace skirt really makes the outfit.  The blouse has a more masculine style it to so it's so perfectly paired with the lace.  Not to mention how stunning the colors are together.

        Lace is a timeless trend that I hope lasts for as long as I'm alive.  I think it is so versatile and can fit into every single closet.  All three of these lovely lace looks are some of my favorites.  But there are so many different ways to wear lace.  Try to incorporate lace into your different styles and tweet us a picture at Our twitter : Urban_Darling!

Classic or Edgy? Black and White.

     One of my absolute favorite combinations is black and white.  I thought it was the best idea to write about something that fits my blog perfectly.  The idea of my blog is classic meets edge.
     When you first think of black and white, what comes to mind? For me, its all the classics.  I think of the elegance of black and white movies,  I think of the classic actress Audrey Hepburn, I think of my favorite designer; CHANEL.  All these black and white inspirations are beautiful in the classic sense.
      Although Black and White doesn't just have to be classic beauty, Black and white also can be edgy.  I think about Grease.  One of my all time favorite movies.  I think Sandy at the end in her black leather pants and black jacket.  So incredibly beautiful in an offbeat kind of way.  I think of John Travolta in his dark jeans and white t-shirt, topped off with a hardcore leather jacket.
      I also think about ways you can bring edge to something classic - with black and white.  An elegant white dress, with a motorcycle leather jacket.  It brings the soft and hard together, making the perfect combination.
     White and Black is perfect for any kind of style.  Whether your wearing a classic LBD or a white tee and tough leather jacket; black and white is timeless.  Hopefully you've learned why I love black and white so much and hopefully it will inspire you!
