OnSugar Blog — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 03:00:47 PDT

Bright colors are such a fun way to inject a playful touch to your outfit, and OnSugar blog The Artful Shopper is giving us more reason to try it out with this super cute Alice & Olivia Summer video - check it out!

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;

When I came across this Alice & Olivia video for their Summer 2011 collection I had to share this for my post on summer brights and the colorblocking trend we're seeing that are so hot in fashion right now! What is colorblocking? You've probably heard of the trend that started in early spring that's punctuated by pops of bold color and highlighted by the mixing and matching of separates in all-over hues, in sometimes unexpected ways. Strong prints with geometric shapes in solid hues are big for fall and an all-over wash of striking color is very of-the-moment, for accessories too.

Always the picture of class, Beyoncé dazzled in a fitted white pencil dress while hosting the launch party for Lorraine Schwartz's new jewelry collection. As this was a jewelry party, she let her baubles dominate and chose a pretty pair of beaded t-strap heels ($249) to accent the look. This ensemble is totally easy to copy - just choose a white sheath dress ($230) and showcase it with lots of shimmery gems. Click the items above to shop a similar style.

Trend Alert: Puff Party

Join the puff party! Not to be confused with the '80s bubble hem, the puff is all about creating contrasting volume. This is an ideal party look. To avoid looking like a puff pastry, make sure the puff starts high on the hip and the top is fitted and structured. See Miu Miu's delectable short and puffy concoction (left) - love!

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

Sequins are officially taking over the world. Rachel Bilson participated in the sparkly trend while promoting her upcoming movie Jumper. Her friend Kristen Bell also shined in her Elsie Katz Couture sequins strapless dress. What I love about Rachel's take on sequins is that it's tame and unique. She kept the look androgynous with stylish wide-leg black pants. Plus, it's nice to see R-Bils in something other than boots!

Trend Alert: Mirrors

You know what they say about mirrors, they being feng shui experts: mirrors ward off bad vibes. Hey, anything that wards of the bad guys and supplements my vanity is fabulous to me. But I'm not talking about mirrors for your dwelling, it's all about beautiful mirrored fashion goods over here. It's like taking a metallic and melting it so it becomes liquid shiny shiny. Did I mention with all the upcoming Christmas lights you will serve as a walking disco ball? Now that will ward off evil.

Celebrity Style: Amanda Bynes

The Hollywood Film Festival brought out a gaggle of famous stars last night. Actress Amanda Bynes stood out because of her youthful, slick style. Her Alice & Olivia tunic dress has just the right amount of sequins to make her shine but not blind the cameras. And need I even comment about those fringe Loubs? I think not; they leave me speechless!

Celebrity Style: Jaslene Gonzalez

"America's Next Top Model" winner, Jaslene Gonzalez, has really taken the judges' advice and toned down her drag queen-ness! The result is a beautiful, exotic model who can strut her stuff both on and off the catwalk. I love the navy blue button down jumper and nude pumps she's sporting at the Indy 500. The look is ultra simple, yet sizzles because of her honey skin and fierce personality!
