Fearne Cotton Goes Retro

DJ and television presenter extraordinaire Fearne Cotton is seen here chatting away on her cell after leaving Radio 1 for her morning radio show. This is one girl that is under the radar even in her hometown London, but as you can see that does not stop her from looking fabulous no matter where she is going or what she is doing. Here Fearne is going back to the 80’s in a grunge inspired look that she can pull off because she is just that gorgeous. And she has not paid too much attention to her long blonde blowout, and it is that effortless and carefree style that makes this look so gorgeous. And her appearance is hardly too retro or too casual, but a wonderful blend of casual with some grunge glam accessorizing. And that is a hairstyle that works perfectly with any grunge look.

To get this look, a one length cut with or without bangs will work, and a wash and a blowout is all you need. Use texturizing shampoo and conditioner and this will give your hair a little bit of movement. Run some styling pomade through towel-dried hair making sure to work the product through thoroughly from roots to tips. This will leave you with some beautiful movement upon your finish. You will then blow dry your hair upside down, brushing it out while you do with a flat paddled brush and you want to pay special attention to your roots when you blowdry as this will maximize your volume. After your blowout, create a chic but not too perfect side part, and you are good to go for the day. If you want, you can pinch some of your pomade on your ends to give it some weight and add to your movement, or leave it fresh and fancy free for the rest of the day.

She’s Not a Doctor, She Just Plays One on TV.

Dr. House’s hot shot number 13 , played by Olivia Wilde is seen here hanging out on the set of the hit tv show and showing that even in between takes she is gorgeous as ever. Yep, this is one lady who’s got features galore, and with her perfect bone structure, naturally bone straight hair, it is easy to see why we all just love to hate her for being so beautiful. And if she’s even a tenth as smart as her character on “House” well then, she simply must be the whole package. Here she is seen on the set of the show showing us that the simplest, sleekest style can also often be the sexiest. That’s right, long straight locks are the hairstyle version of the boyfriend jean, and have been a hit since the ‘70’s, and it doesn’t look like this trend is leaving any time soon.

To get the look that Olivia has here, you want to start off with the same layered cut that she has here. Use some straightening serum on towel dried hair, and blow dry your hair with a flat paddle brush pulling your hair straight as you dry. Use a flat iron to sleek your hair out as much as you can. When you are flat ironing, you want to pin the top sections of your hair up first, and flat iron the bottom sections for maximum fullness and all over straightness. After you have flat ironed your entire head, spritz your hair with some anti-humectant. Immediately following this, you will want to flat iron your hair again, and this will lock in the humectant, and give your hair some beautiful shine. It will also seal the cuticle and ensure that your hair stays straight and glam all night long.

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.

Cynthia Nixon Has a Blast From the Past

Yes, they’re back, and we couldn’t be more excited. As filming for the sequel to Sex and the City Movie continued this week, we couldn’t help but wonder what the girls were up to. All of our favorite New York starlets were dressed to the hilt in 80’s flashback year, making me wonder if we will be seeing some history in the lives of these girls friendship. Could they be filming a scene that will play out as a “memory” of sorts on screen? At this point we can only guess, but one thing that will never change is that no matter how you dress up our girl Miranda, Cynthia Nixon, she always looks fabulous. And I am loving this pixie bob that she is sporting here. Cynthia is kind of famous for having the most changed look over the course of this series, but she always seems to look great, and I am loving this bob on her. 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.

You can also ask for some 80’s inspired sideburns like Cynthia has here. 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, as your layers will do that work for you. 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. For some extra shine for a night out, you can spritz on some glossing serum for a shiny, sexy finish that will instantly glam up any night on the town.

Agyness Deyn Chills Out in New York

Supermodel extraordinaire Agyness Deyn is spotted here enjoying a little me time in New York City. She was running some errands and hanging out in her fave NYC hot spots, and transported herself easily on her cute little bike. And you have to know that only supermodels like Agyness Deyn can get away with riding a bike in New York heat in a skirt that is short enough to turn plenty of heads, which I am sure she did. Nonetheless, Agyness pulled it off, and with a heck of a lot of grace to boot. And this is a girl that proves that short hair doesn’t have to be difficult to maintain, as it seems she never seems to have the same hairstyle twice, proving that short hair is not only easy to maintain, but versatile at the same time.

You can get this look, and this super versatile hairstyle, by simply 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. You can’t see Agyness’s crown layers here as she has sleeked them into her overall style for a day look that is easy to maintain on the bike.

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.

Shenae Grimes Not Such a Good Girl

90210 actress Shenae Grimes isn’t quite a good girl, she just plays one on TV. Here she is seen showing off her dark side this past weekend as she hangs with some friends at the exclusive Bardot lounge in West Hollywood. And Shenae is a Canadian actress who seems to bring that wholesome Canadian goodness to the screen as she plays this generation’s goody goody on Beverly Hills 90201. But as you can see here with her lacy and all black ensemble for her Saturday night on the town, Shenae is working hard to convey the notion that she is not as much a good girl as her screen work may lead you to believe.

And it also looks like Shenae has followed this season’s hair trend by taking her shade to an extreme color with dramatically darker locks. Shenae normally has chestnut locks that she complements with fair and golden highlights, but this color here is definitely highlighting her more serious side. Shenae here 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.

Cate Blanchett Rocks the Red Carpet

Cate Blanchett is seen here attending the premiere of ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ in Sydney, Australia. And Cate may not look like she has been uber styled, but she looks glamorous as ever. Cate has gone with a very simple hairstyle for this event, and is wearing her generally fine and straight hair down for the evening in a look that requires little maintenance or styling.

The key to this look is once again in the cut, and with fine hair you want to go for a cut that has enough texture to give your hair the illusion of body and movement. Volume is not necessary here as with the right cut you can finish with a look that is simple, but as you can see with Cate, very sleek and sexy. With a textured and layered cut, you can enjoy minimal styling, as if the cut is done right, you can simply wash, blow dry and go.
