Acid brights are this Spring's counterpart to cool neutrals. If you're feeling flashy and fierce, shout it out loud with bright clothing. I'm going to show you some acid brights all week long so order a Tall instead of a Venti because you can get your afternoon jolt right here on FabSugar. I intentionally saved bright dresses for mid week to keep you amped until the weekend! Don't be shy...turn on your brights!
Chloe Jersey shift dress, $1,790.

nitegems has an interesting story to accompany this daring funky in Singapore look. It appears pinafores are big there so she paired it with basics and a splash of cobalt blue. Warning: according to nitegems, "guys don't REALLY dig this outfit..some make fun of me and call me a farm girl while others ask me what's with the school girl outfit? BUT most girls I've met commented on how funky I look! So my advice is just be wacky and wear it on a fun girls night out!"
She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!
Here's what she's wearing:

Cameron Diaz has done it again. The Holiday press tour has provided us nothing but fab fashions on Cammie, leaving us always wanting more - or at least envious of her wardrobe! Looks like her break up and make up with Kelly Slater is keeping this leading lady happy. Or could it be all that Hawaiian sun? Either way, you look great Cams!

Attenzione! Bargain hunters check out the sale section at Pinkstore.com where there are markdowns on Fall merchandise, but some items that can work for Spring too. Peruse the markdowns of merch by Sunner, Mint, Theory, Tracy Reese - need I go on? I'm debating this Marc by Marc Jacobs camille color block dress-teal, on sale for $139 (originally $198). It's so hard for me to resist Marc on sale! The only drawback is limited sizes so I wish you luck on your search.
Welcome to our sixth installment of Model of the Week. I've written a five question interview that I have conducted with several models to share with you. The questions are both fun and beauty related and will always stay the same.
Caridee English was born in 1984 in Fargo, North Dakota. From the mere age of five, she suffered psoriasis (a skin disease) which covered almost 75% of her body. She was convinced this would prevent her from modeling, but in 2005 she was given a new type of medication to control the disease.
Caridee is 5'11 and used to be an aspiring photographer. Using her carefree and charismatic personality along with some fierce looks, Caridee won season seven of America's Next Top Model!
You may recognize her from her February 2007 cover of Seventeen magazine, her Cover Girl ads and her many red carpet and event appearances since her big win. She is currently living in New York in the Elite Model house. She is silly, adorable and extremely approachable.

Chambray is a classic fabric that seems to resurface for Spring every couple years. The new versions have updated styling but the same laid-back appeal. I say toughen chambray up with black or a pair of chunky platforms and some of this season's metallics. Chambray's not just for yuppies any more! Here are my picks.
Paper Denim dress, $110.

I received this tube of amazing L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Creme, $25, as a hostess gift for throwing my friend a bridal shower. I love it but the problem is I got it two years ago and it has expired.
The once sweet scent is a now a little bit rank. I felt compelled to chuck it even though there was still quite a bit of product left. Can you help me find another thick, rich and moisturizing hand cream?

I think you all know I am a vintage sleuth when it comes to fashion. One of the challenges for me is finding vintage shoes in larger sizes; since feet have grown through the ages it's often hard to find even an 8 - which is not that big. This pair of Vintage Beaded Matching Shoes and Bag, $250, found by theotherhalfofme in the Love It or Hate It? group, comes in my size but I'll have to pass! With vintage it's hit or miss, and this is too matchy matchy for me and just overly busy. What do you all think? Love it or hate it?

Here's a designer for you naughty girls who really try to come off as good girls; you know who you are! YumSugar turned me on to this deceptively dainty designer because, well, just look at those scrumptious looking macaroons.
Lochers consists of tops and necklaces that are beyond sassy and straight up original. While this model may look sweet and innocent, the yellow top she's wearing spells 'Insatiable little thing,' across the back. Note: this is one of the more subtle messages that grace these cotton embroidered tops. Some I can't spell out here, because of foul (but fabulous!) language, but to give you an idea, some other messages are: "I don't play nice" and "Sorry darling, good girls don't swallow," the latter top accompanied by two little songbirds flighting with the naughty words.
The creative force behind Lochers is a lassie named Nicole who opened her design atelier in Paris in 2001. Inspired by found objects from flea markets in Paris and London, her unique style combines vintage and modern fashion. The charming embroidery was spawned by "the turn of the century handkerchief lost in some grandma's drawer." Nicole's mission was to bring back the refinement of embroidery to modern day by adding her dirty two cents to each piece. Dirty yes, offensive no, well maybe - you tell me! Prices for these tops and the necklaces are under $100 and can be ordered through Lochers brand website.

Be Delicious Lip Shine Trio, $20, is an apple green stacked tiered swivel compact made up of three lip glosses. This new formula cushions the lips and saturates them. The result is high shine and ultra smooth lips. They are flavored with a "Delicious" apple flavoring and they glide on smooth without being sticky.
The colors can each be worn alone, layered over lipstick or blended together to create your own special shade of juicy! They can also be made more intense through re-application. The colors included are:
