Colourless Color - And a Giveaway!

IMG_4244IMG_4216IMG_4221IMG_4234IMG_4261

I've said it before; I love black and white, especially in a graphic print. For me, the combo can be more striking than bright colors when it's done right. This outfit was one of those last minute, already gonna be late, thrown together outfits, but it's one of my favorites recently as far as officewear goes.

I can't get enough of this lace blazer! I love how blazers can be like the cherry on top of an outfit, pulling the whole thing together and streamlining the look. I especially love the whimsical touch the lace gives this one. I also love how lightweight it is - the front and sleeves are lightly lined, but the rest of the blazer is just a thin bit of lace, so it's got great ventilation, and won't have me sweating bullets in the summer.

Did you spot my sweet 'ari' wire ring?? It was sent to me by reader and fellow blogger Gianne of GianneCREATIONS! Gianne started jewelry making as a hobby, but happily for her, her wire jewelry has boomed into a business, and she sells rings, keychains, bracelets, necklaces and more on her Facecbook page, GianneCREATIONS! She was also nice enough to send me this adorable keychain:

'Fatale'! So cute! I love the flowy cursive lettering Gianne uses for her wire jewelry. Because they're wire they are a little bit delicate, so I decided to hang my 'fatale' keychair off my rearview mirror instead of putting it on my keys, I didn't want it to get messed up if I threw it in my handbag (lord knows I've got ridiculous amounts of crap in there!).

If you'd like to get your hands on your own personalized piece of wire jewelry, Gianne is giving away one piece to a Fatale Fashion reader! Here's just a few types of items she can make:
