Classic black is always in style. While some people like to shy away from it, we fully embrace the darkness by gravitating toward black clothing, black home decor, and black nail art. After all, you can’t say something “is the new black” if black wasn’t so popular to begin with. A truly thoughtful gift is one with your friend’s preferences in mind. So if your buddy is, like us, a lady in black, make sure to select a gift that comes in her favorite color.
