Roundup: Neutral Sofas
I adore this sofa, which is featured in The Invention of Lying. It has great, clean lines and a modern shape, but still looks cozy, and the neutral linen color makes it easy to decorate around. Neutral sofas are a great building block for a number of styles, from classic country to bohemian chic.
This Week's Fab Favorite: Jessica Stroup
I never realized how pretty Jessica Stroup is until now. What a gorgeous girl! Not that she needs the help, but her freshly neutral nude and white Brian Reyes outfit is terribly adorable.
Celebrity Style: Claudia Schiffer
You know, it's really hard to try to incorporate color into your wardrobe when Supers like Claudia make black, white, and nude look so good. Claudia attended the 2009 Fashion Fringe launch party in London looking like a modern Barbie doll. I also want to give a shout out to her wearing pants — you can do a lot with cool pants, but so many celebs veer toward skirts and dresses.
Inspired: Project Runway Winner Leanne Marshall's Collection
I'm totally infatuated with Project Runway season five winner Leanne Marshall's final collection. I loved how the palette was so restrained, just neutrals and a gorgeous turquoise; it really let the sculptural shape of the clothes shine. And although the collection did have an architectural quality, the pieces were still full of movement, with pleats that fluttered like a flock of birds bursting into the air.
2008 Emmy Awards Trend Alert: Neutral Territory
If you do it right, beige can be bold. Take note from the ladies who attended the Emmys in their elegant neutrals. Look at Olivia Wilde: her romantic silk chiffon Reem Acra gown is far from blah.
Look of the Day: Cool Neutrals
It's all about mixing cool neutrals. I like how jsarigan contrasted her teal skirt with a light striped tank and that vintage belt is awesome!
Here's what she's wearing:
- Tank: J.
Trend Alert: The Mute Button
Look in your closet and press the mute button. Beige, dusty pinks, pale yellows, and powder blues are a great way to update your color palette this season. Born from the same family as peach, these feminine hues complement a fresh tan and keep you looking cool all day long.
Look of the Day: Cinched In
Q8 worked a Fab neutral palette into her Spring wardrobe. The soft colors complement her beautiful skin tone and I love how she cleverly cinched in her voluminous shirt with a big and bold belt.
Here's what she has on:
- Top: Zara
- Shorts: Bayo
- Belt: Topshop
- Shoes: Mango
- Bag: DKNY
Fab Finds of the Week: Staying Neutral!
This week, your Fab Finds are all about neutral colors: beiges, nudes, ivories, khakis, and browns! I agree; neutrals are great for summer - they keep you cool by not absorbing heat because they're light-colored, and they go with pretty much anything because they're...well...neutral! My favorite way to play with neutrals is to accessorize with a bright-colored bag or shoe.SAG Awards Red Carpet: Neutral Night Out
The red carpet had a splash of color last night, but most of the leading ladies chose to play it safe with neutral toned gowns and fresh, classic makeup. I love Cate Blanchett's ode to old Hollywood in her body hugging Armani Prive gown and Sandra Oh sure was a sight to see in her flirtatious feminine gown. While neutral tones aren't right for everyone, these women wore them well.
