  1. Black and white just call out for a color accent, and red is just about the best! Or is it turquoise?

    Nope, I just looked at the pictures again, and red is definitely the best!

  12. LOVE black white & red & you're looking gorgeous darling! That coat how interesting at first I thought it was glen plaid, then saw the close-up. I ADORE it! And I too use that quote as a sig on certain things, but I also write it on little scraps of paper & leave it around wherever people will come across it. (Hoping the message sinks in!) XXX
