Lindsay Lohan Back to Black

Here is our favourite bad girl of Hollywood enjoying a night on the town in Los Angeles, California looking gorgeous as always, but it’s so easy for her because no matter what style her hair is sporting, she always looks great because she’s just naturally gorgeous. Here she is also showing off her inner fashionista in an elegant grey wool jacket while making her way through the paparazzi craziness outside Madeo restaurant. Yes, good hair and good style are two good things in her life, even if the rest of it is in chaos, which just goes to show, if you look great, does the rest really matter? For Lilo, no, and I have to say that once again, regardless of her new color, I love the new look. It also looks like Lindsay, despite her warm temps in L.A. has followed this season’s hair trend by taking her shade to an extreme color with dramatically darker locks. Lilo’s normally who knows what colored locks have gone from previously blonde to uber black. Here she has also straightened her normally luscious waves into a sleek look that is both chic and glamorous. To get this look, use texturizing shampoo and conditioner in the shower, particularly if straightening your hair can be a bit of a challenge in warmer and more humid temperatures. Use straightening serum on towel dried hair, and blow dry your hair with a flat bristle brush. You don’t want lift at the crown or roots here, as sleek and bone straight is your ultimate goal. After your hair is dried, run a flat iron over your hair to smooth away any bend, and amp up the sleek factor. After your first run with the flat iron, spritz on some glossing serum to add some extra shine, and then run the flat iron through it again to lock in your super shine. Create a sleek side part, and you’ve got yourself a straight look that will last through the night no matter how hard you are rocking the night away.

Mischa Barton’s NOT a Prostitute, She’ll Just Play One on TV

Mischa Barton is one of those fashionistas that has kind of slipped under the radar since her bout in a rehab facility earlier last year. We just haven’t seen or heard too much from her, and many of us have just assumed that she fell off the wagon again, as whenever she did make it back to the spotlight, she never really met up to earlier years fashionista standards. So what gives with Mischa and what is she up to these days, and why does she look like she is selling wares on the street corner? No worries, she has not sunk to new lows in terms of raking in cash for her habits we don’t know about, she is simply dressed in character here as a prostitute for an upcoming guest stint she has on the set of Law and Order. She is playing a street worker who turns to Detective Benson for help in one of those prostitute type life or death decision things. Should be interesting.

For her look with her hair, she went with less skank and more volume, and let the outfit do the talking when it comes to the skank factor. That’s okay as long as we remember that this is all character for her. This is a look though as far as her hair is concerned that is pretty hot right now, and you can get this voluminous hair very easily, though give yourself some extra time here. To get this look, use texturizing shampoo and conditioner, and you will want to blow dry with a round bristle brush.

Blow dry your hair about 95%, and when it is still slightly damp, you can set your hair in large sized Velcro rollers to create this wonderful volume that Mischa has here, without the look of curls. Let your rollers set for about 30 minutes, and then blast some heat on them to finish the drying and lock in that volume. When your hair has cooled from this blast, take the rollers out and brush out your hair with your soft bristle brush. Finish the look with a sexy side part, another hot hair trend this year. The end result? A lovely voluptuous mane with just enough wave and volume to look sexy, but not too much that you are over the top.

Yes, Even Ashley Greene Dresses Down

Here we have Twilight star extraordinaire looking uber cas but uber fab as she has what might be for us just an ordinary day, minus the paparazzi frenzy. For this day, Ashley was just heading out to Starbucks to pick up an iced coffee and was caught looking super sweet as she did so. This is one of those looks that proves once again that you don’t need to always have fabby hair to pull off a glam look, you just need the right smile, and the right ensemble and you can get away with a ponytail super easy. At this stage in the game though, a ponytail isn’t always about just throwing your hair back, unless you want to pull a “just got out of rehab” look vis a vis Mischa Barton. You do need to actually use a brush, and taking a few extra minutes to sleek and shine isn’t going to hurt you either.

For this look though, you may need even less than a few extra minutes. You can get away with second day hair, so save some morning minutes and go without the wash. Dampen your soft bristle brush as you pull this ponytail back, and let it sit nice and high on the back of your crown like Ashley has here. If you have bangs, then you just need to bend your bangs under ever so slightly with your flat iron or curling iron or you can brush them back like Ashley has here. This is the cute part of the sexy look, the sexy comes with the outfit you pair it with. If you pull off the right look like Ashely has here and choose simple pieces that are casual, but fitted to your size and complement your figure, you can get away with the ponytail. By doing so, you can even pull this look off at the office if you want. Doing just that will ensure that if you are getting looks from the office crowd, they are the kind of looks you want. Go ahead and sleep in a little since you won’t have to worry about your hair. Even if you arrive a few minutes late looking THIS hot, you may be surprised at the positive reaction. And who doesn’t want to pull off an Ashley Greene look?

Heidi Klum Rocks the Pony

Heidi Klum is seen here once again proving just how magnificent she is, and why she is one of the world’s most famous supermodels. The ever so stylish Project Runway host and mom of FOUR bambinos was seen taking some me time after finishing the show, launching two maternity fashion collections, and well, being a mom. So a well deserved break to a massage in Beverly Hills was the only thing on her agenda this week, and even her down time as you can see is done in style. Yes, looking at her here you would never guess that she has to spend a second sweating over every little calorie, as she still manages to look fantastic. For her spa day, Heidi went for a standard look with her hair piled back and little concern for muss and fuss and even so, she still looks fabulous, as she has the designer duds that take all the focus off of her hair. This just goes to show that yes, you can get away with second day hair without drawing too much attention to yourself.

This look is not one that you need to style or maintain, it’s a simple matter of effortlessly pinning your hair back and out of your way when you are ready to engage in your well earned down time. If you are going to be running your errands or catching up on spa time while running to and fro in the elements, you also want to be sure to run some anti humectants through your hair to protect your hair from the sun’s exposure, and to minimize any drying out from outdoor elements. Post you time, you definitely want to lose the second day hair, and wash and go as you normally would for your day. But one thing Heidi IS proving here is that even supermodels can go a little casual now and again and still look fabulous. And you can too!

Gwen Stefani Strikes a Pose

Here is one hot mama, and ever since she had her second child, her gorgeousness has been way under the radar for far too long. So it’s nice to see her pop out and give us a smile to prove that she is just as gorgeous as ever as she and her husband visit their family in the Buckinghamshire countryside in the UK. And even when she is out and about visiting family, she looks just that fabulous. Does she ever have a bad anything day? Who knows, but what Gwen is doing with this ponytail is a great thing, as it shows that yes, even a second day hair day ponytail can look both sleek AND chic, whether you are taking it day or night.

This look is easy to accomplish, particularly since you are going to skip your shampoo and do this with second day hair. For your front section, take a fine tooth comb dipped in water, and create a razor sharp part about 2-3 inches long. Then, comb the remaining section on the back of your crown, and tease it lightly to give you a bit of height and volume at the back of your head. Use your fine tooth comb to sleekly comb your sides to the back, gathering your back crown section together with your two sides. Secure the pony nice and high, and pull out some bangs to the side in either direction of your part, however you feel most comfortable. Don’t be afraid to tease them up a little bit like Gwen has also done here. Finish the look with a little spritzing of hair gloss, and you have yourself a super easy hairstyle that will look and stay great for any occasion.

Renee Zellweger Cropping a Few Things Off the Holiday To Do List

This is one girl that I just love to see out and about these days, as she was once considered one of the dowdiest women in Tinseltown after her homely appearance with the Bridget Jones Diary. And now that the movie made her a household name, her style seems to be almost effortless as she banishes that dowdy look and proves to the world that Bridget was just a character. It seems that no matter where or when she is spotted these days, she is simply knocking them dead. And here she is doing just that while doing a bit of grocery shopping for her holiday festivities. She was seen coming out of the Bay Cities Italian Deli with a bag full of goods looking radiant and happy, and not just because she looks fabulous and chic, but because of the holiday season. And what she is doing here with her look is showing that short hair can really work FOR you if you want to pull off an edgy carefree look this holiday season. And though I haven’t loved too many of Renee’s looks, this is one look that I have always loved on her, and out of all of her looks I think this one suits her the most.

You can get this look first by getting the right cut, so ask your stylist for longer length in the back and at your sides, but get some volume pumped into the top with shaggy layers cut into your crown. To style then, you can use some styling wax on towel dried hair, and blow dry your hair with a round bristle brush. This look is sleek, so you aren’t going to worry too much about volume here. When your hair is dried, spritz some antihumectant spray on your locks, and then run the flat iron over your entire head, bending the ends only slightly for some face framing style.

By using the flat iron, you will lock in the antihumectant so your hair stays straight and sleek all day long, and it also adds some extra shine to that gorgeous style. The blowout as well will give you the gorgeous movement that Renee has here in her hair, and this will keep you looking happy and carefree as you move through the holiday season.

A New Girl to Gossip About?

Well well, it does appear there may be a new gossip girl in town, as Willa Holland was seen on the set of Gossip Girl poking her head out of a trailer on set in downtown Manhattan. The former OC actress was seen meeting Upper East Side style standards, and was formerly seen on this show when she played a bad influence on Little J. Is she back to stir up some more trouble? Looks like, and if she is looking this hot, it may well be that she will have no trouble doing so. This casual look with bouncy curly hair is about as in as boyfriend jeans right now, and one that you can take from day to night in a flash.This look is sexy, vampy, and will get you everything you want on any given night on the town.

The secrets here are tons of product, tons of curls, and tons of teasing. Start off with curl enhancing shampoo and conditioner, and use a lightweight curling mousse to lock in some extra curl. Run some styling pomade on your palms, and then run them through your hair from front to back. You will then set your hair in pin curls all over your head. Use a blowdryer on low with a diffuser to dry your locks to 100% dry. This may take some time, but the end result will be well worth it. When your curls are dry, spritz some extra hold hairspray on your curls before you take out the pins. The result will be a voluminous head of wavy bouncy curls. You can brush these out to smooth them out as Willa has here, or tease them whichever way you want for a hairstyle that is voluminous, sexy, and vampy for any night on the town.

Anne Hathaway Masters Uber Cas with Uber Elegance

Yes, this is one girl who can’t look bad if you paid her too. With her perfect features that give her prettiness and a girl next door look, combined with some stellar fashion sense, she always looks great even when she is going super cas. And here she was taking a break from her normal red carpet glam to shine a little elegance on an everyday look with a flannel top and jeans to dine out at Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles. And though we haven’t seen too much of her on the big screen, it is rumoured around Tinseltown these days that she is starring as the ‘baddie’ girl “The Vultress” in the upcoming Spiderman 4. Something to look forward to for sure, but in the meantime, we can take a few tips from her when it comes to a great ponytail look on those days when you just don’t have a few extra minutes. Anne Hathaway is another starlet here that is showing that yes, you can get away with second day hair without drawing too much attention to yourself, and if you WANT to draw attention to yourself. Don’t worry about washing your hair with this one, just sleek it all back.

To get this look, take a fine tooth comb and create a sleek part on the side. Dampen your soft bristle brush as you pull this ponytail back, and let it sit nice and low on the back of your neck like Anne has here. And even though you may not have her perfect features, you can still pull off an elegant look with a chic ponytail if you do it right.

If you pull off the right look like Anne has here and choose simple pieces that are casual, but fitted to your size and complement your figure, you can get away with the ponytail. Doing just that will ensure that if you are getting looks from the office crowd, they are the kind of looks you want. Go ahead and sleep in a little since you won’t have to worry about your hair. Even if you arrive a few minutes late looking THIS hot, you may be surprised at the positive reaction.

Taylor Momsen Mixes it Up

Little J is really growing up before our eyes, and this is a girl that will definitely be losing the Little J status if she keeps showing up to parties looking like this. Here she is with a look that could not be more cutting edge, and is glamorous fashion mixed with a little bit of age appropriate edge. Gotta say, love it Little J and keep it coming. For the sake of fashion, Taylor Momsen arrived for a taping of MTV’s “It’s On with Alexa Chung” in a long green collared shirt, thigh highs, and heels underneath a long navy green fur coat, and she looks uber fab. And I just love how long her hair is getting, as it is making her chic look even more versatile. And here for her appearance on the MTV video, Taylor chose to veer from her usual straight and sleek mane, and complemented her stunning attire with a sleek look that is neither too wavy or too straight. It’s all in the casual here, but casual elegance is the marker of this look, and you can get away with second day hair with this one if you want, or wash it and texturize it as you go to dirty it up a bit.

To get this look, you want to have a layered cut with long concave layers cut that angle toward your features rather than away from them. Use texturizing shampoo and conditioner to give your hair some bend, and blow dry your hair from roots to ends with a round and soft bristle brush. After your blowdry, you can run some styling pomade through your hair to give it some additional texture and movement.

Then, use a 1 ½ “ curling iron to put some bend and wave in your hair, but here you really just want to run the iron through your hair, and not focus too much on curl. Keep the curling on for just a second or two, and create a lovely, soft wave that will last all day. You will then brush these waves out for a soft almost ethereal look, and a sexy but not too fussy side part will add instant vamp appeal to your overall look of casual elegance. Finish the look with some extra hold hairspray on your wavy ends and along your part.

Happy Thanksgiving Whitney Port!

The fabulous fashionista and DVF worker extraordinaire Whitney Port from the hit show “The City” is seen here showing just how much DVF made the right decision when they took this girl on. Whitney was spotted donning an 80’s ensemble in this season’s hottest lingerie inspired looks while enjoying a night out at Voyeur nightclub in Los Angeles. And as usual, she focused more on fashion than hair, as this girl with the high end bohemian taste let her outfit do the talking while she merely clipped her hair back in a loose and wavy half up and half down do. Though she is completely contemporary retro, she if following the hippy trend of not appearing immaculately styled, but for Whitney, it doesn’t seem to matter whether she is on the red carpet or hanging on the streets of New York, she always looks amazing. And it is this girl next door look that really seems to be the big trend right now, which should be a key to you when you are mastering your own signature style. A little bit of simple goes a long way here.

Whitney’s hair has been styled in the half up half down look, in a very casual manner that has no muss or fuss. And though she may look a little rumpled, the look seems to work with the rest of her style with an eclectic mix of lace and leather.This look is easy to accomplish with a very straight blow out, hang your head upside down when blowdrying to get the volume that Whitney has here, and simply pin back the top sections of your hair for an easy and casual look that still looks pulled together. You can run a wide inch barrel curling iron on your ends you leave down for a soft and sultry sexy wave that is both casual and elegant, no matter what look your attire is showcasing for the day.
