Coffee and Cream: Glamourus Java-hued nudes + blacks

Oh Coffee.. my first love. ;) Today I thought I'd express my love for coffee in terms of fashion. One of my favorite combinations is nude and black or as I like to call it Coffee and Cream. Here are some of my favorite java-hued looks with plenty of taupe, nude, beige, cream, tan and black.
