Video chick-turned hip hop girlfriend-turned model Amber Rose made the rounds during New York Fashion Week.

A neutral palette proves uber-trendy this spring with shades of grey, pink, khaki and lavender ruling the runways. But if you’re worried these toned down hues will be a bore, spice things up with accessories that pop. A killer heel, a clutch with lots of detail and intricate jewelry will get you some attention.
