In this month’s issue of In Style Alicia Keys’ almond shaped eyes are accentuated with a bright peacock green. She looks amazing. When I saw it, I said to myself - “YES!”
I have been noticing bold colored makeup popping up hither and tither. When I read Julie’s blog post on ‘The beauty of brights’, I knew it was true and here to stay. With so many great color choices being offered this is my equivalent of being a ‘kid in a candy store.’ (more…)

Although Angelina’s dip dyed vintage Hermes dress was definitely the most talked about dress of the night… after all is she or isn’t she already?
And I thought that America Ferrera has never looked better than she did in this gray Monique Lhuillier dress…
and of course the fact that there were a sea of beaded and metallic embellished dresses up and down the red carpet….
I have to give a special shout out to all the ladies who brightened up the dreary skies over Los Angeles on Sunday night at the 2008 SAG award… though some of the silhouettes left me a little dizzy, the colors had me jumping for joy. Any chance they were inspired by my “future looks bright“post?
Who was your favorite brightly dressed star?

Just in time to shoo away post-holiday blues and winter doldrums- we’re sharing our first favorite trend of the year…BRIGHT, BOLD COLOR!
Colors with names like pixie green, citrus yellow, berry crush and blueberry fizz are showing up on everything from designer bags to king size beds.
Super bright hues lit up the spring runways of 3.1 Phillip Lim, Diane Von Furstenburg, Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton
Similar to the neon-inspired pieces that grabbed attention last year, these brights pack a punch whether combined with neutrals, whites or fellow brights ( but in our opinion are much easier to live with!)
Splurge on a bright pair of shoes or a coat and suddenly the long, gray days of winter feel a little warmer! Pick up a few accessories or one new piece of furniture in a bright, bold hue and instantly change your home’s mood.
The fun really begins when you dare to mix two or more of these brights together. For easy inspiration take color cues directly from brightly colored floral fabric, which are also a big trend this spring.
Bazaar magazine looked at the trend of Hollywood starlets wearing brights in their December issue… how do those savvy fashionistas always seem to stay one step ahead?
Ads for resort collections always bring hope to my winters… this year both Gucci’s and Chanel’s Resort campaigns feature brightly dressed models.
I was happily surprised to discover that J.Crew paired bright dresses with equally bright shoes in their latest catalog
The newest campaign from The Gap says “it’s all about the blue”…. but for me this yellow coat and the bright colored accessories around the store are what caught my eye on a recent visit.
Signature handbags from Louis Vuitton and Coach get a splash of bold color for Spring.
From Micheal Kors to Manolo Blahnik to Tory Burch…. even the faintest of “color heart” can appreciate the dare devil spirit of a bright pair of shoes.
Adding a bright piece of furniture to your home has never been easier. The Cleo chair from Anthropologie, the Jacqui tea table from Eboniste.com or even an aqua blue felt bed frame from Bludot.com are all places to start.
Marimekko bedding from Crate and Barrel, a Dwell Studio pillow from Target and this awesome chandelier by Thomas and Vine that I found through Domino Magazine show that…
…a little extra color in your home is one only bright accessory away.
