Licorice and Clotted Cream

L&CC: An unlikely culinary pair, but a wonderful color combination! Ever so much more chic than basic B&W, in CC’s humble estimation!

    I have never tried the taste or sartorial combination. You make it look so delicious that I might try it. I am usually more of a red vine kind of gal.;-)

    Delicious post title Carrie!Those colours work so well together!You would not think they'd compliment each other but they really do.The dresses you featured are fabu! They be wonderful for a cocktail event or so with some cake and clotted cream ;o)
    The lightning bolt booties are terrific too,they remind me of a pair of similar booties my cousin had in the late eighties/early nineties. How i wanted them!
    Oh darling I hope that your sister gets a pair or two from topshop's tall section that work.over here in UK it is my only choice for 36inch seams which does it get super boring sometimes.
    muah xx

    Nice! I really like this look. I'm not quite sure that it is "clotted cream and liquorice" but it's a nice image.
    I want those Betsey Johnson Reese bow pumps. So cute!
