Black & Gold

Every time I used to see anything black and gold, I would think of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  But I think these pics prove it can work for more than football uniforms. It was seen all over the fall/winter runways and also works well for interiors.  And you definitely can't go wrong with anything black and gold from Hermès.  Hint, hint. 

P.S I'm off to Chicago for my book signing for Creativity at Work at Jayson Home on Thursday, November 29th from 6:00-8:00pm. Be there or be square!

Back in Black

Black Friday is the phrase used to describe the shopping day after Thanksgiving when retailers go from "in the red" to "in the black" which refers to making a profit.  For me, it's the day that makes me glad I don't live near a mall.  This post is my chic homage to Black Friday with a little white and grey thrown in for good measure.  If you do go shopping, I hope you don't get trampled by anyone buying a flat screen tv. 

Bon Weekend.
