it's black and white

i've totally been in a black & white zone lately and also obsessed with updos + things that sparkle (well, okay, that's nothing new).  here are a few of black and white things i've been pinning and falling in love with:

i love the feminine lace cutouts of this black tocca blouse from their fall collection and the besotted brand big heart stamp looks fabulous in gold on black.  and i can't get over these images by Paolo Roversi for Vogue Italia 2010 of model Kasia Smutniak – love the hair, the glam, the sparkle.  arlo's branding for effen vodka is so clean and simple.  i'd want a bottle just for display!  ...okay, and maybe another for one of martha's cocktail recipes.

cheers, y'all!  happy thursday!
