Acid brights are this Spring's counterpart to cool neutrals. If you're feeling flashy and fierce, shout it out loud with bright clothing.

Here are some fun bright bottoms, and no, I'm talking about bleaching any private body parts again!

Beauty Marked! A Deep Purple Nail Polish

Last week I told you I needed a new purple nail polish.

Last week I told you I needed a new purple nail polish. While I like the color Carol from NYX that I told you about last week, I am running low and would like to try something new.

I asked you all to go beauty marking to help me find a new deep purple polish. To see all the beauty marks for deep purple polishes click here. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.

Beauty Mark #1 found by LuckyGrl83 and PartySugar, is a fab purple color called Dark Pleasure's Nail Polish in Blacker Laquer by Revlon. This polish is dark, seductive and mysterious! Ooh la la. It is pearlized which also adds dimension and allure. Available in six other deep, blackened jewel-toned shades.

Celebrity Style: Ashley Olsen

Ashley Olsen certainly has more fashion sense than her twin sister MK, but you wouldn't know it if you have seen her out and about lately.

Ashley Olsen certainly has more fashion sense than her twin sister MK, but you wouldn't know it if you have seen her out and about lately. That said, she actually looks pretty cute here walking the streets of Brentwood looking casual and dressed for hot weather - who needs a shirt after all?! And of course she's is looking too cool for school in her Ray Bans. I am a big fan of the peep bra look, and with her petite frame, she can pull it off.

Proenza Schouler Hemp Linen Dress: Love It or Hate it?

High fashion meets hemp - love it!

High fashion meets hemp - love it! This Proenza Schouler Hemp Linen Shift Dress, $1,950, is fantastico if you ask me. I love the art deco pattern and the cool contrasting colors. The fact that it is a hemp linen blend makes this even more dope. What do you all think? Or is this another Fab surprise love?!

Tory Burch

Tory Burch Amy Pump

You may remember the post a few weeks back about the highly anticipated Tory Burch Spring Collection of Reva Ballerina Flats.

You may remember the post a few weeks back about the highly anticipated Tory Burch Spring Collection of Reva Ballerina Flats. If not, just take a walk uptown in New York City to see all the yuppies, fashionistas and socialites wearing these ultra comfortable and colorful flats.

The latest addition to the Tory Burch cult shoe line is the Amy Pump, $250. This shoe is similar in construction (it has that soft rubber sole) and looks like the Reva, however this version has just shy of a two inch chunky square heel with a gold border along the bottom that matches the famed bold logo.

They are currently available in coconut and black patent leather. Unfortunately, you can not buy the shoes online yet, but they are available for purchase in any of the six Tory Burch boutiques nationwide. I just picked up my pair in black over the weekend!

Trend Alert: Nature Inspired Jewelry

There's nothing like a good dose of nature to clear the senses.

There's nothing like a good dose of nature to clear the senses. Model and actress Amber Valletta clearly knows this with her gold bird earrings. Playing on Spring's bi-polar trends, nature inspired jewelry is pretty opposite of the lucite love we've been seeing. So there you have it, Spring jewelry caters to both nature lovers and future lovers. So you're a bit of both are you? Go on, pair them together, let your Spring dual personalities shine.

New Makeup Alert

New Makeup Alert: Hourglass Cosmetics

Introducing LA's newest makeup brand, Hourglass Cosmetics.

Introducing LA's newest makeup brand, Hourglass Cosmetics. This new line of luxury makeup is hip, chic and loaded with skincare benefits. It's also on the down low. Currently Hourglass does not do any advertising, yet has a star studded fab following with clients such as: Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Naomi Watts.

The line consists of: liquid VEIL foundation, powder, concealer, bronzing powder, blush, lipstick, lip gloss, eye liner, lip liner, mascara and many brushes.

My favorite items are the eye and cheek Hourglass Passage and Color Link Palettes. These palettes contain six eye shadows and two silky powder blushes which all contain Vitamin E to fight aging.

There are five versions of the Color Link Palette ($55) and they come in a beautiful Passage Leather Case ($75). Once you buy the case, you can pop the other palettes in and out for versatility!

Also, did I mention that their powder is made with caffeine to help reduce puffiness? Now that you're in the know - shop away. Prices range from $15-$145.

The Look for Less: Derek Lam Brigatta Blue Platforms

The more I see these Derek Lam Brigatta Blue Platforms, $720, the more I want to throw everything to the wind and just indulge in them.

The more I see these Derek Lam Brigatta Blue Platforms, $720, the more I want to throw everything to the wind and just indulge in them. However, that is quite the hefty price tag for shoes that I would rather just admire on my vanity. Realistically, when it comes to warm weather I'm really more of a flat sandal kind of gal. Nevertheless, I wanted to share these with you because to me, this is the stuff fashion dreams are made of. As luck would have it, I was strutting along and saw a way cheaper pair of sandals that had to have been inspired by these Lam puppies.
