Isn't that the truth!!I just bought today a comfy black dress which you can dress up, wear under jeans or just casual. I think I might go back and get another one.

Black is the new black indeed. The last picture is divine, and the girl is so pretty and stylish, too.

SHERRY HART said...

Your are right! Gray, brown, and navy will come and go but black never fails you.

It *always* works!! :)

shari @ little blue deer said...

I have a lifelong love affair with black! That Olivia picture makes me ILL, how gorgeous and chic does she look ON A FREAKIN' BIKE??? Love ya,Sue!

David Toms said...

This is a great colection of black. However that said if I see another pair of black leg ins I think i would die. Even though it is a classic, can North Americans please bring some colour into their winter outfits!

Stacey said...

OMG, i was drooling over that first pic with Olivia just lastnight! Yes, i'm loving the black look too. XX

Stephanie said...

Love it! I'm seeing a lot of black walls lately. It wouldn't work in my house, but I like the way it looks. Great finds, as always!

You have it exactly right. Always right on time.

lisaroyhandbags said...

I agree! My wardrobe is proabably 70% black and I just scored an new Kenneth Cole LBD on sale for $60! You can never have too many LBDs! :)

Helena - A Diary of Lovely said...

never out of fashion, so difficult to beat!

Shannon @ What's Up Whimsy said...

Okay, there is no way Olivia Palermo is going to go ride a bike with those crazy shoes one!!! But she does look stylin'!!

ilovemyhouse said...

Black will never play a big part in my interior, but you should see my wardrobe. Amen.

Can I add a Hallelujah to that Amen?!

Great, great, great! My sons room is all black. We did a cute space room about 2 years ago. I don't tell most people his room is black b/c there is this dark image that people dream up in their heads. It's actually very neutralizing and he has great natural light in his room, so it looks great.

I LOVE any time Aerin Lauder's home is featured in a publication!!

jeanette from everton terrace said...

The 5th image, girl with rolled up jeans, my favorite look. Everything from head to toe I love and don't even get me started on that purse, swoon.

Will @ Bright.Bazaar said...

So chic, always! Love that art wall - effortlessly stylish.

A Perfect Gray said...

I want to Live and Look just like that!

My Interior Life said...

I'm loving me some black lately. I just painted my powder room a super dark gray/blue/black. Still can't figure out what color it actually is - it's got a fitting name - Mysterious by Benjamin Moore!

Nikki said...

Love it! And couldn't agree more.

Dancing Branflake said...

Haha yes! And excuse me as I drool over that first model's shoes. They would make the shortest legs seem a mile long. Sweet!

Erika @ ~TiptoeButterfly~ said...

yayy - love black - wait, who doesn't love black?!?! - i never met a person who hasn't embraced all black! .. it's classic!

Alcira Molina-Ali said...

Oh man, you've gone and posted my favorite home office on earth....what a tease ; )
That bedroom is where it's AT!
Oh black, my beloved, the very reason I chose "Nero" as my pen-name.
But only after I realized "Noir" had been beaten to death.
Love all the impossible stilettos too ; )

Cheers, Alcira

Kathy said...

catching up with you this morning and have to say I just flat love your style girl, it is always so much fun to see what you find interesting. I feel like I've been to the big city for the day, thanks!

Jess said...

Totally agree!! Black is classic and will never go out of style.

avant garde said...

yup. i find myself attempting to wear color now and then and sometimes i actually succeed ;) but black, i resort back to it, time and time again. it makes me feel good, it's easy, it's complicated, it's all of those things. it's perfect really right?

kayce hughes said...

I must be the only person who doesn't like black. I love it on other people and in their homes but not for me. Perhaps I need counseling.

Mademoiselle Poirot said...

Ah yes, Noir, noir and more noir...love it, timeless, elegant, edgy, cool...everything. Great post, thanks. Have a great end of week, Love from London x

One of these days, I'm going to paint a room black. I think it's a great look -- so rich and dramatic.

Love the black bedroom with the framed pictures on the wall.

CDS said...

It is the staple of all staples! ...now I wonder where Olivia was heading to in the picture. :)

Mona Thompson Providence Ltd. said...

Amen, and Amen! I've always loved black and always will. Fabulous images!

dovecote Decor said...

I'm all about black with clothes, since I wore a school uniform until I was 18. But not in my house. There is enough dark on the floor and in the rafters for me. In the middle, I want color. High Point was gray scale on steroids, again. The break out is coming. The West Coast, and Florida always have color, outside, but when all the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray, I've gotta have color!
Best,
Liz

I know, I know, and yet....I sprinkle it in!!!

Olivia looks gorgeous! Lovely post my friend :)

Pemberley said...

There was a time, a long time ago now, when I was in design school and I wore nothing but black, head to toe. I loved it. I stood out and blended in all at the same time. I could go back to that in a heartbeat. Always in style, always chic.

Kelly@ColorSizzle said...

I love black spaces! Black is so elegant and chic. It never goes out of style!

Gramercy Home said...

It is indeed! I can never let go of my go-to "color."

paula said...

love black! love how it will never be out of style.

Dobbygirl said...

So true, so true! Black is my go to color! In our last house I painted the downstairs powder room's ceiling and far wall black, the other walls were white with a black and white tile floor. It's where I kept my scottie dog collection. I wish I had taken pictures because it was really striking. Sometimes a glossy black wall is all you need :o)

Sarah Klassen said...

Oh yes! I don't think that I could ever tire of black -- so so beautiful and elegant. Wonderful inspiration, lovely lady. I hope your week has been a great one,

xoxo
