Black Is The New Black

For your listening enjoyment this is "Back To Black" by Amy Winehouse
I've been thinking
Through the years we have heard style commentators proclaiming
something other than black as 
"the new black"
BUT
in my humble yet shameless opinion  
there is NO replacement for black
( sorry I'm not sorry ! )


Anyone else with me on this ?

October approaching has put me in a 
wonderful, dark & moody mood
So I did a little fantasy shopping on 1st dibs
 I simply typed "black" in the search box

And oh,
what magic I did find !!!

Here are my fun picks

A Beetle juicy canape sofa...
 An English sporting trunk ...

 19th century Swedish napkin rings ...
a pair of English 2 seater sofas ...

 A dream in 1930's black Goyard ( biting my hand ! ) ...
And a Mario Fortuny early 20th century stage lamp ...





Can't ever say I'm
back in black
because, my dears,  
I never left !
( one peek into my closet and you would understand ! )

Ok, so I have said my peace

Black, I'll always have your back !


Have a very stylish day !


Ciao !

Wooh! ha that is a crazy Beetlejuice sofa! :)
I love black, it is lovely and dark, and gloomy, moody, and dramatic, it's perfect!
I haven't strayed too far away from black myself, but I am trying! :)

I would have to agree. However I do enjoy telling people that I am the new black.

There is a sense of deep peace within the black.

I couldn't agree more! When the fashion industry says something is the new black, I aways wonder why we need a new one! Why mess with perfection?
