Look of the Day: Leopard Meets Brights

Laura Marie Given — Mon, 28 May 2012 03:00:42 PDT

Fab reader ppfgirl brought chic sophistication to the bright-pants trend by adding animal print and and classic gold accessories. She paired cropped kelly-green pants with a breezy leopard-print blouse before grabbing a structured two-tone tote that coordinated with the neutral shades of her top. Along with cool aviators, she dressed up the look with bold accessories: a long chain necklace, a gold menswear watch, and a mix of gold and yellow bracelets. Topping off her polished style? Colorblocked heels in nude, black, and neon orange for a fun, unexpected pop of color that adds personality to the outfit.

Congrats, ppfgirl!

Just because it's the weekend - and a holiday one, at that - doesn't mean you have to leave your styling prowess at the office.

Look of the Day: Leather and Sequins

Laura Marie Given — Fri, 25 May 2012 03:00:19 PDT

By sticking to simple, structured shapes and lighter shades, Fab reader postgradchic made leather and sequins work for daytime. She paired mint-hued, sequined shorts with a sleek camel-colored leather jacket, then added structure to the romper's blousy top with a brown leather belt. Pink pastel brogues kept the color scheme light and gave the outfit a more casual, summery feel. She chose a leather messenger bag that matched her relaxed style and topped off the look with white retro clubmaster-style sunglasses. The end result? A chic, dressy-meets-rugged mix that would work at any time of day.

Congrats, postgradchic!

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!

We've Got a Serious Crush on Nina Dobrev's Girlie-Glam Style - 50 Chic Reasons Why

Marisa Tom — Thu, 24 May 2012 09:33:41 PDT

While it's admittedly hard to focus on anything but her handsome costars on The Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev has grabbed our undivided attention (and kept it) with her youthful-cum-ultrachic offscreen style. The brunette beauty has effortlessly nailed a personal style that expresses both her affinity for seriously glamorous red-carpet gowns and her penchant for wearing more low-key and supergirlie numbers. And as of late, we've gotten an extra stylish dose of Nina, courtesy of the Met Gala, The CW's upfronts, and her debut as the newest face of the Got Milk? campaign. She's got a sweet spot for designer Donna Karan, and the feeling's mutual - as proven by her stunning turn in a liquid black-and-gold Atelier creation and that jaw-dropping siren-red gown at the 2011 Emmys. Throw in the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Elie Saab, and Monique Lhuillier, and you've got the makings of a totally enviable style setter. Ready to see how Nina's panache evolved from her days on Canada's Degrassi to her current style-star status? Just keep clicking.
