Black to Basics


If you're a wanderlust like myself
(which I'm glad to know many of you are!)...
your eyes are always peeled for great finds
that can accompany you on future trips.

Versatile, basic pieces 
that are easy to pack...
while packing some punch.

(Because who doesn't want to look cute in your trip pictures?)

I seem to default to black.

Especially if it's a well-made piece,
it flatters me more than that one guy from your college math class,
and it didn't cost more than my flight.

{Well... unless, I'm flying RyanAir.}

marc jacobs laptop case ($198) | ysl mascara in noir ($35)
onyx earrings ($175) | philosophy body emulsion ($41)
ysl sandals ($414)... ok, these are a bit pricey. | splendid maxi tube skirt ($81)

  2. Good advice! I always end up in black trousers while traveling, comfortable but a definite step up from yoga pants.

  3. I think one can never really tire of black, I am wearing black ballet flats, a black skirt and a black and white stripe top! Imagine that!

  7. I love black too. My default seems to be gray - it translates well and is a little less harsh than black on my pasty white skin.

  16. I agree - black (as well as white and grey) seem to be my back bone too. It works everywhere and any season, and feels effortlessly chic without having to worry too much about it.

    Love the laptop case.. Am adding it to my wish list..
