What’s black and white and glamorous all over?

And no, it’s not a zebra in Chanel. It’s you, if you’re planning to attend BravoBravo! 2013 on Friday, June 7th at the Detroit Opera House. Since it’s inception in 1999, the annual DOH’s fundraiser for the arts is touted as Detroit’s most sophisticated party of the year. Enlisting local businesses – restaurants, artists, musicians – to showcase at the gala, will be a fabulous feast for the mouth, eyes and ears, all in the name of a worthy cause.

This year’s theme is Black and White: Elegance and Sophistication. In regards to dress code, think cocktail dresses and evening wear in the aforementioned color theme. Opt for a monochromatic look in your preferred hue or make a stunning appearance in a bold, black and white pattern print. To add extra oomph to your glamourous ensemble, accessories are key – think bling and metallic hardware (the shinier the better). Stud adornments are HUGE this season, so sporting a sleek studded heel or studded clutch will catapult your look to runway chic tenfold. But, if you’re one who LOVES primary colors, plan on expressing it via statement jewelry and if need be, shoes and handbags. Personally, for a more cohesive look to obey the theme, try to save the color burst for jewelry.
