Do you remember way back before spring even started when I wrote about black and white being named the hot new trend for the upcoming season? It seems like it wasn’t that long ago really, but it was in January. Since then, spring has come and gone. Summer is officially here! Boy, time sure flies when you’re having fun! Some things have changed, like the weather. But some things have not changed. Yep, you guessed it. What was once a rumor has now blossomed into a full-blown trend. And that trend is going to continue through summer and into the fall. I am talking about, of course, the black and white handbag trend! If you haven’t gotten yourself a black and white handbag yet, it isn’t too late. Need a little help deciding? Check out these lovely suggestions!
