Haute Holidays: Martin Luther King Jr. Day

In celebration of the birthday of Dr. King I thought I would pay homage to his Nobel Peace Prize winning efforts for ending racial segregation. I find it not ironic, but iconic, that what he fought so hard to end is now the epitome of timeless sophistication. The combination of black & white in fashion and design is held to the highest standard.

I go cray-zeeee when I plan events that have a black and white foundation! I love adding bright pop hues for a wow factor; but by all time FAVE is infusing mixed metallics with these basics. Whatever you choose you can never go wrong, even when playing with patterns. You can mix textures and patterns together but so many of the classics look simply divine just as they are.

Thank you Dr. King for making the world a much better, more peaceful place; And for allowing the creative brains in all of us to recognize the beauty and harmony between black and white.
