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.

What To Wear Wednesday: Cobalt Blue Is the New Black

I’ve decided that cobalt blue is the new black for spring. The chicest way to sport this trend is in the IRO ‘Ashville’ Blue Leather Jacket. I am absolutely infatuated with this bright, bold jewel-toned blue beauty!  My favorite facet of this supple leather find is the adjustable side buckles that let you refashion the fit to your liking.

It looks flawless and uber chic dressed up or dressed down. Pair it with a pastel pink pencil skirt and a black & white striped crop top for an ideal spring look. This is a fantastic transitional outfit from day to night. Wear the jacket fully zipped during daytime for a conservative, corporate-friendly style and unzipped at night to exhibit a flirty flash of peek-a-boo midriff for fun.

Add it as a finishing touch to  jeans and a flowy tank top. Tis a perfect outfit for any daytime activity –  running weekend errands, brunch, shopping, etc. In like manner, it’s suitable to transition for an evening out. Trade your sneakers for stilettos and swap out handbags – to glam up either look – a rhinestone clutch for play and large black tote for day.
