And finally, how can we even discuss the Little Black Dress without paying homage to the ever classic, black and white palette. Of course, this next palette was inspired by the AMAZING Lisa Vorce wedding that we featured just a couple of days ago. Take a basic black and white palette…throw in some incredible mercury glass and a splash of zebra. Suddenly, your look is ultra chic and...
