Weekly Faves: 5 Inspiring Spaces

Elka Karl — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:00:28 PST

This week, I'm inspired by homes that embrace color, pattern, and vivacious style. Let's take a tour of bold global style, starting with a visit to an apartment designed by an artist in Kiev, then moving to a polka-dot Scandinavian kitchen and a moody-colored London flat, among other destinations. Take a look at how elements like bright paint colors and oversized wallpaper can influence the feel and ambiance of a home. Keep clicking for the full tour.

Whitney Port Brings Her Brights to NYC - Love It or Hate It?

Hannah Weil — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:00:04 PST

Whitney Port left her hot spots in LA to promote her book, True Whit, in NYC, but it seems she's attempting to bring a little of the California sunshine with her via a super-bright, colorblocked ensemble. She wore not just a brightly hued mini but also an orange blazer with Aztec-inspired flair. Of course, because it's cold in New York, she covered up with a pair of nude tights and black booties, rounding out her tropical bright palette with weather-appropriate accessories. While color trends for Spring are bright and bold, does Whitney's look go too far or are you digging the funky-fun vibe?

FabTV — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:39:26 PST

Yigal Azrouël's 2010 Fall Fashion runway collection was a mix of moods: soft and sexy draping juxtaposed with structured suit leg silhouettes, a muted neutral palette accented by a punch of color, and a play on masculine and feminine forms. According to Azrouël, the hybrid of different garments and fabrics creates new silhouettes and pseudo layers for Fall.

Trend Alert: Bright, Bright, and More Bright

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 05:00:22 PDT

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?

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!

Be Bold!

FabSugar — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 09:24:08 PDT

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!

To see some of my bright-hued favorites,

Looks of the Week!

Laura Marie Given — Sun, 27 May 2012 04:00:54 PDT

This week, our Fab Community stuck to striking neon pieces and bright, mixed prints. From cropped floral pants to polka-dot skinny jeans, our readers proved that bold bottoms work well with both neutrals and patterns. Whether mini or maxi, skirts were full of volume and paired with simple tops in classic shapes. High heels and structured handbags topped off the looks, adding a refined element to the colorful prints. Here are our favorites: florals and spots, neo(n)-bohemian, floral love, siren twist, '60s sweater, dress to impress, neon dots, sequins and ruffles, date night, and icky pop. Congrats all!

Nina, Kirsten, Diane, and More Step Out For the Very Glamorous amfAR Gala

Lauren Turner — Fri, 25 May 2012 12:15:50 PDT

The annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala took place at the Hotel du Cap in France yesterday. The glamorous event has occurred during the Cannes Film Festival for almost two decades and this year brought out many stars, including a L'Wren Scott-clad Julianna Margulies and her husband Keith Lieberthal, as well as Alec Baldwin and his fiancée Hilaria Thomas. Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger, in Chanel, continued their red-carpet run with another appearance for the cameras after stepping out most recently for the Nights in Monaco Gala in Monte Carlo. Kirsten Dunst chose blue Louis Vuitton gown and sat with boyfriend and On the Road costar Garrett Hedlund during dinner. Milla Jovovich, who we chatted with last night at L'Oréal's bash, wore a metallic look by Atelier Versace while Kylie Minogue brought a pop of color in red. Petra Nemcova also chose the bright hue while model Doutzen Kroes went with white.

Alexis, Olivia, Jordana, and More Show Off Cool-Girl Summer Style at the Coach Fete - Who's Most Fab?

Marisa Tom — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:24:00 PDT

For a super Summer-inspired fix of flirty frocks, colorful bags, and must-have sandals, look no further than the stylish celebs making the rounds at Coach's cocktail-cum-charity benefit party in LA yesterday evening. Aside from the brand's slick leather-and-tassel satchels providing a cool accessorized boost, we loved the variety of sunny styles - girlie, muted sophistication, and all-out brights - spotted on the likes of Alexis Bledel, Olivia Munn, Jordana Brewster, and Kristen Bell. While Olivia opted for a Naven neon pink miniskirt and Jordana kept it cool in silver-gray tones, Alexis chose a butterfly-printed Tucker dress for the occasion.
