Splurge, Spend or Save - Monochrome

After Marc Jacobs' wow moment during Lfw last season, his collection created quite a statement with his bold monochrome outfits. Setting the trend for SS13 the black and white colour palette is forever a classic. Keep silhouettes clean, simple and fresh for the timeless chic look or mix it up with some bold dashes of colour. You can't go wrong head to toe in only black and white.

SPLURGE

£980, Lanvin Buy Me Epitomy of luxury this ridiculously priced top is surely worth it when it's cut to perfection. Wear with some bright red cigarette trousers for a colour block look.

£460, Nicholas Kirkwood Buy Me Woah woah woah, this shoes are insane, look at the zig zags and the heel is metal, oh if only I had legs long enough to pull these off, or money for that matter.

SPEND
