There are certain looks that have transcended the test of time and trends to become classics: black and white is one such style combination. There is arguably no other combo more timeless than this pairing. There is an effortless glamour to this aesthetics that never fails to appeal to the masses. The silhouettes naturally play a part in the overall motif that is translated but generally the colors together are iconic.

I enjoy exploring different styles and trends but my core habit and advice to my clients is to invest in pieces that are timeless. Wardrobe essentials that will prove to be constants in your closet, no matter what styles come and go.

A classic black turtleneck, like this from H&M, is one such piece. It adds an instantaneous aura of old hollywood glam to any look. I paired it with a stripe high-waisted pencil skirt from Zara. The bow detail at the front is not only chic but can also camouflage the tummy area for those looking a great flattering skirt. My Catherine gemstone necklace (coming to the store) added a touch of glitz and a pair of white python Christian Louboutin was the perfect compliment to the outfit. My treasured Chanel jacket, Chanel Boy bag, Chanel J12 timepiece and Chanel sunglasses finished off this sophisticated look. Can you tell I have an insatiable love for all things Chanel?
