Black & White is Always the Right Answer

There have been few colors that designers (fashion, interior, graphic) have used as much as black and white. Separate or together, they are a safe bet for everyone's holiday shopping list. Whether you’re looking for something for your boss, pet lover or fashionista, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best black and white items that never go out of fashion.

Black and White Fashion Gift Guide

MSRP $12.00

Kate Spade Stripe Slim Battery Bank

MSRP $60.00

Let's talk tech. while we love the beauty of a handwritten letter (especially an impromptu love note), we can't help but keep our cell phones, laptops and iPads within close reach. Our designers kept this very thought in mind when they created our latest collection of whimsical cases.

Ju-Ju-Be B.F.F. Diaper Bag - The Queen of the Nile Diaper Bag

MSRP $180

This bag will be your BFF. It will also make you new BFFs because all the other ladies will want to be your friend. It might make your current BFF a little jealous, but that’s OK because she wasn’t all that good of a friend anyway. Just a few questions: Did she ever offer to carry all of your stuff in an ultra organized way? The BFF will. It has tons of pockets and organization...so much you won’t know what to do with it all. Is she flexible? The BFF comes with detachable shoulder straps and messenger straps. Use it any way you want!

Barks & Kisses Ashford Collection Pet Diner

MSRP $79.99

Sleek. Smart. And irresistibly stylish, the revolutionary Ashford Collection Pet Diner from Barks & Kisses redefines “pet feeder” from every point of view. Featuring eye-catching bold curves and deep double stainless steel bowls, the innovative Ashford Collection Pet Diner was designed to stay ahead of times…for many (dog) years to come.

Tory Burch Robinson Woven-Leather Convertible Shoulder Bag

MSRP $475.00

Named for Tory’s parents — Buddy and Reva Robinson — it’s a modern classic. The Robinson Woven-Leather Convertible Shoulder Bag features a contrasting diamond pattern for a graphic effect. It’s finished with an adjustable chain strap that can be worn doubled or long and cross-body — perfect for days on the go or evenings out.

By the way, as you know we typically only report on fashion, jewelry, shoes, etc. However, that “Barks & Kisses Ashford Collection Pet Diners” was simply too amazing to leave out of this holiday gift blog post.

Fishing Vests Too Late for 2016

Darn!!! Just came up with a good Father's Day gift idea, but it is too late for this year (father's day is today and Amazon is not using drones to delivery product today).  

After seeing dad this afternoon I realized that I should have bought him a fishing vest. Obviously, it is best to get your father some sort of clothing. Electronics are way over rated.  Also, it is good to get him something that he would not buy for him self often.  Although I don't know your dad, my guess is that he does not buy him self a new fishing vest as often as he would get himself a new pair of shoes, t-shirt, or jeans.  So, maybe a fishing vest surprise would be a novel idea.

For example, this Clearwater Mesh Vest from Orvis, may have been a great choice.

Even if you father is not a fan of fishing, possibly he can fill the pockets with something else.  Or maybe he can learn to enjoy the sport of fishing.

Although we missed Father's Day 2016 for this fishing vest gift idea, maybe we can keep it in mind for next year.

Learn more about fishing vests in our new fashion production section.
