Trend of the Week: Black and White
Across the Spring 2017 Couture runways, muted pastels and statement hues alike  made way for simple, impeccably tailored black and white pieces. Although the Chanel show featured pastel shades, the most striking ensembles stuck to monochrome black or white.

At Giambattista Valli, simply structured pieces stood out with yet more monochrome– especially all-white– while other designs were festooned with feminine ribbon detail and voluminous tulle.

Book of the Week: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

The story is deeply but gently satiric, enlivened with an imaginative plot and brilliant use of nonsense. As Alice explores a bizarre underground world, she encounters a cast of strange characters and fanciful beasts: the White Rabbit, March Hare, and Mad Hatter; the sleepy Dormouse and grinning Cheshire Cat; the Mock Turtle, the dreadful Queen of Hearts, and a host of other extraordinary personalities. –amazon.com
