A/W 2013 HOTTEST TREND


                                                       SIMPLE MONOCHROME  


Hot off the catwalk, we saw designers loving all things black and white. It's a must-follow trend, abounding in multiple styling options and wearable at any age. 

It's a stylish look that suits all occasions. The key to this trend is to keep it clean, chic and minimal. Mix pattern with tailoring, add a great monochrome bag and pair of ballet pumps or stilettos, and you're set to enjoy this hot style. Add an occasional red accent by way of accessories or lipstick.
