Palette Post: Metallics & Black

Posted by Michelle

This black, white, silver, and gold floral clutch inspired today’s palette post all about metallics with black accents.  It’s shiny and festive, while still sophisticated and works really well with all fall tones and copper sheens.

Palette Post: Black and White

Palette Post: Black & Tan

Posted by Michelle

Today’s palette post was inspired by my dog Marni – a black and tan morkie.  I love the color combination!  It has such a modern feel, but yet still looks very elegant and classic!
