Roundup: Anything-But-Boring Beige

Think beige is boring?

Think beige is boring? These Mercedes Benz Fashion Week models on the runway at the Lala Berlin show prove that to be an antiquated notion. As a neutral, beige is a perfect canvas for highlighting unusual patterns or textures and even going avant-garde. This Splayer Sofa ($6,500) takes advantage of its neutral hue by highlighting more unexpected finishing (or should I say unfinishing) techniques, including swatches of raw cotton and burlap. While tan tones of the Flokati Wool Rug ($120 and up) are perfectly nice, the mellow color lets the rug's plush texture play the leading role. To shop the rest of the look, just click on each image!

eBay Find of the Week

I always say, there's a right shade of beige for footwear and there's a wrong one.

I always say, there's a right shade of beige for footwear and there's a wrong one. This Beige Gladiator Leather Sandal, size 8, definitely has the right shade. I love the way it lends an au naturel feel to the foot, and I also dig the cream platform.

The current bidding price is $39.99 (buy it now for $49.99) and the auction ends on Monday, June 22. Good luck and happy buying!

Look of the Day: Beige Hearts Brown

A sandstorm hit the Golden Globes red carpet and now it's attacked neonbee.

A sandstorm hit the Golden Globes red carpet and now it's attacked neonbee. What I'd like to point out here is that beige hearts brown. Beige, being a neutral color, needs a rich hue like brown to plush it up. And I love how she belted her wrap cardigan for added interest. Smart thinking!

Here's what she has on:

  • Cardigan: Gap
  • Dress: From Hong Kong
  • Tights: Urban Outfitters
  • Shoes: Steve Madden

Congrats to neonbee!

When being bathed in beige, it's nice to throw in other colors to break up the look. Fab reader rmur is ahead of the game. She paired her beige dress and jacket with a gray scarf, a black belt, and black tights. Thus, she took the look from flat to flat-out cool.

Here's what she's wearing:

  • Dress: Old Navy

  • Scarf: India
  • Tights: H&M

Trend Alert: Mochachinos

While I am more of a Chai latte girl, these ladies are making me yearn for a Mochachino.

While I am more of a Chai latte girl, these ladies are making me yearn for a Mochachino. If you looked in my closet the least color you will see is beige or camel or tan — you get my point. When I feel like going colorless I prefer black or grey. But always one with an open mind about fashion, I may reconsider. Rachel, Sarah and Emma prove a sip of a Mochachino does provide quite a jolt.
