This Spring / Summer its not just about bright colour blocking and nostalgically pretty florals. The 'Monochrome' trend is as dramatic and durable as ever, with its classically timeless and effortlessly sophisticated look.

Coloured Earth's black & white pearl triple strand necklace and white turquoise freeform necklacecompliment these two monochrome dresses from the high street perfectly. For this 80's inspired designer zebra stripe dress by Alexander McQueen I have selected this stunning white howlite and onyx collar which adds an extra dimension to this dress.

Top Left: This dramatic black & white pearl triple strand necklace is one of my favourites and very versatile. Check the matching black & white pearl cuff, they make a great set and will compliment any monochrome look.

Second Left: Gorgeous blurred blossom origami silk dress, in washed out monochrome by high street retailer 'Warehouse'.

Third Left: Get noticed in this big and bold white turquoise freeform statement necklace by Coloured Earth, also available in purple turquoise. Hot new colours in this design, coming soon so keep a look out.

Fourth Left:  Great, washed out, monochrome, photographic print tunic from high street retailer 'Warehouse', given a dramatic effect with Coloured Earth's statement jewellery.

Fifth Left: This white howlite and onyx collar is a Coloured Earth 'signature' piece and defines monochrome, dramatic, sophisticated and timeless.

Bottom: My designer choice is this 80's inspired, monochrome, zebra stripe soft jersey dress, by Alexander McQueen and available online from 'Net-a-Porter'.
