black and white chic

Marble tops, chevron floors, an intricate chandelier, fluttering ruffles, glimmers of silver, stunning sequins and tulle, and striking stripes – happened upon these lovely shots of always chic black and white – a stunning combination of bold elegance, bright airiness and dramatic charm. Afternoons spent lounging about among striped rugs, piles of décor books, inspiring paintings, intricate molding, tall windows and floods of light – and easy, sophisticated elegance along with the promise of chilly romantic evenings, dinner for two and late soirées.
