looks like we all love shades of grey! how about black? well about every designer does for spring 2013 and so do i!

black, black, black has been the mantra lately- we all know that! but did you know it’s all about the the black double breasted jacket at givenchy, black ruffles at balenciaga, a black strapless column dress at margiela, a lbd at dior, a black body suit at lanvin, black cropped pants and a black satin shrug at céline, black bows and black wide brim hats galore at ysl and black anything and everything at valentino!

the spring 2013 fashion shows have come to an end- one of the best seasons i can remember! what a way to end the season than with a black ball, hosted by carine roitfeld to celebrate her makeup collaboration with mac cosmetics. of course the dress code was black tie, a nod to the hostess’ smokey eyes!

as we wrap up the spring collections, all you really need for spring 2013 or even now for that matter, is lots of black head to toe and smokey eyes! let’s have a party, how about a ball? a black ball!
