Why do we need to replace black?

There was pink, red, white, and I'm sure at one point in fashion history every color was hailed as the new black. Why was there a need to replace black in the first place?

Perhaps it's so intimidating to every other color. I mean, who else can slim you down, make you feel confident, sexy and sassy but also mysterious, misunderstood and artsy? Black is masculine and strong but it can be as dreamy as a night sky. Depending on the styling, black is always in season and always a statement...in its understated ways.

Which is why I don't want to replace black. Not even with my beloved grey.

Time to think of summer!

Dreaming of my impending trip to the sandy beaches, I cannot wait! I'm very into the blue and yellow combination for bikinis, I think it looks very flattering even when you haven't quite gotten enough of a tan.
The other thing I know I'll be relying on is the Nivea moisturiser, it's truly a life saver! You know that feeling when you're just too lazy and too in rush to properly massage body lotion into your skin only to have your cold shirt stick to the cream? Yep, nothing to do with this one! You simply apply on clean skin and rinse off and you're left with about 12 hours' worth of smooth skin, fragrant with the signature Nivea smell (they do have other scents too)!

Florence wishlist

Zara dress (HERE); Clarks sandals (HERE); Georgiana Paraschiv Laptop skin (HERE); The New York Times 36 Hours (HERE) and Michelangelo's David (HERE)

The excitement for my upcoming week in Tuscany/Florence in less than a month has started to take its' toll. I decided to productively channel the said enthusiasm in online shopping to find suitable chic, arty outfits that don't look like I've tried too hard. Nude statue of David is optional but you know what they say 'When in Florence...'
