Trend Alert: Bright, Bright, and More Bright

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 05:00:22 -0700

I've always been an advocate for neon colors so it was only due time these blinding hues get the spotlight they deserve. It's time to embrace the bright, bright, and more bright. Why you might ask? They're symbolic of this season's '80s revival and make everyone pop. All you have to do is pick the color that complements your personality. I'm a hot pink gal because it means girlie yet sassy, what's yours?

Look of the Day: Color-Blocked

FabSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Going to the beach doesn't mean you can't look cute in the little you have on. Prime example is thequeenbee and her friend. These stylish beach buddies are looking Fab in their color-blocked beach cover-ups. I love the combination of bright and bold colors. Unfortunately, she didn't mention what her friend has on - write back and let us know!

Here's what thequeenbee (pictured left) has on:

Tank: Top Shop
Skirt: Top Shop
Necklace: Love Pink by Victoria's Secret

Congrats to thequeenbee!

Be Bold!

FabSugar — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 09:24:08 -0700

It looks like the bold hues that were all over the MTV Movie Awards weren't just coincidental: adding punch to an outfit with a shock or two of color is evolving into a full-fledged summer trend! This week's Life and Style takes inspiration from SJP's brightly colored accessories and put together a few adorable options. I especially love the red patent bag!

Trend Alert: Multicolor

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 06:00:22 -0700

Spring '08 is one of the most colorful Springs we've witnessed in a while. This may explain why Fall took such a 180 with dark, moody blacks and greys. That's still a ways a way and in the meantime multicolor is shining bright, blindingly bright. Such was the case at Michael Kors' Spring show. Never one to shy away from vivid colors, the style lesson is to keep accessories metallic or neutral. Or, oversized - what a mad hat!

Fall Glimpse: Bold & Bright

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:10:22 -0700

Banish cold weather blahs forever with the upcoming bold & bright Fall offerings. Seriously, if I had these rich and electric colors in my wardrobe come January I think the snow would instantly melt wherever I went - take this fabulous Versace fruit punch coat, for example. Say hello to scarlet, vermilion, fuchsia, peacock, eggplant and grape - your new BFFs. Paired with noir and greys, get ready to shock the system.

Check out all my Fall 2007 coverage here!

Glitterati: Paige Novick

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

Paige Novick is my new jewelry hero. In fact, her colorful baubles excite me in ways I didn't know jewels could. The NYC dweller, whose past stints including working in Paris at Chanel with Karl Lagerfeld, creates imaginative, organic-inspired adornments. I'm utterly smitten with her masculine-meets-feminine aesthetic and bright pops of purple, green, orange, and blue. If color's not your thing, Paige also has a couple of ferosh silver pieces that will surely tickle your fancy. Her collection is a little pricey - cuffs, rings, and necklaces range from $100 to $800 - but well worth the splurge. Eye candy, at the least.

Celeb Style: Malin Akerman

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:58:08 -0700

Malin Akerman alluded to utmost ladylike style at the All Inclusive premiere in Germany today. I love how her slim, high-waisted pencil skirt provided maximum elongation - what a cool styling trick! To add a dose of color and brightness, the actress donned a purple geometric print top and blue suede platform pumps by Sergio Rossi. A little bit of polish, a lot of pizazz.
