Fall's Hottest Color Combo: Black & Blue

Fall 2012 Fashion Week proved one thing; designers aren't playing by the sartorial rules anymore! The black and blue color trend that was sprinkled across the runways this past spring are blowing up as this season's hottest color combination.

The color combo has been a hot topic - not only for its rich and dramatic look - but because black and blue are synonymous with black and brown in the fashion rule book. It has long been considered a "no-no" of colors to coordinate, but this years trend-setters are rebelling against the rules and creating a fresh and modern reputation for the colors.

The pairing of blues with black range from cobalt to navy. We are loving the black and navy for a bold daytime look! Kate Hudson, Audrina Patridge, and Bravo's Pregnant In Heels star, Rosie Pope (appropriately shopping at Buy Buy Baby!), are all fans of the gorgeous, smoky look.

Want to jazz the black and blue color combo up a few notches? Black and Cobalt are a striking duo, perfect for a night on the town. Kristen Stewart, Khloe Kardashian, and True Blood's Anna Paquin stun in these lucid, playful minis.

Each decade has had its signature style and trend, and the 2010's trend is seemingly a "Fashion Revolution". From post-Labor Day whites to the pairing of mismatched colors and patterns, designers and fashionistas are snubbing the standards and shaking things up for fresh and bold new looks. What do you think of the black and blue trend...Love it? Or leave it in the faux pas book?

For the love of bold fashion,
