Black & White Stripes

I have loved black and white since the 1980s. Over the years, I've added splashes of red, pink or cobalt blue. My all time favorite is black, white and naturals (such as wood). It is no surprise that that I love these stripes, I've been seeing everywhere! I will try to give credit to where credit is due, but I've been saving some of these photos in my inspiration files for years. I hope they are inspiring to you, too.

Looking for...ankle wrap wedge espadrilles

I have a pair of black ankle wrap wedge espadrilles. I bought them 2nd hand and have worn them every Spring/Summer season for the past 6 years (at least).  As you can imagine, they are starting to look their age. I think it's time to replace them. Here's what I've found so far...

these are by Sergio Rossi for $199 on DSW.com (reg $550?)

these are by Charles David for $145 (they are suede)

these are from good ol' Forever 21 for $24.80
