02.06.11Beer Vs WangLast night the unthinkable happened. Beer spilled all over my Alexander Wang Diego! And on my lace-up wedge Madewell boots. And on my jeans, my t-shirt, coat, scarf... Um, yeah. It was basically a beertastrophe. When I came home, damp with beer and regret, I was sort of freaking about having a permanent beer stain on my handbag. (Also worried about the boots, but seriously. WANG.) I forced myself to let both pieces dry over night to see the level of damage, and this morning I cleaned them with Apple Brand Leather Cleaner. They immediately looked like new! The beer stain is ...

01.11.11Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2011I love how totally unabashedly wearable Alexander Wang’s Pre-Fall line is. There might not be anything revolutionary going on here, but it's all so perfect. If I owned these pieces, I feel like I'd never again have that ugh, what am I going to wear feeling. I'm digging the monochromatic shades, the tough shapes, the pops of color. This is totally how the rich bitch version of me will dress as I hop into my Porsche and pull out of my Hollywood Hills driveway. ;) Those coats! The dresses, the heels... Loving it all. What do you guys think of ...

12.14.10December Favorite ThingsIs the phrase "Favorite Things" trademarked by Oprah now, you think? Hmmzz. Did you guys watch the Oprah/Barbra Walters interview? It was weirdly fascinating. And of course, Barbara made Oprah cry. Anyway. Here are some of HOTB's Favorite Things for December! First up, the archive leather boot from Madewell. It's the perfect flat boot. It's not too flat, it's lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day. The leather is high quality and it hits at just the right spot--high enough on the leg. It can be dressed up or down. As with all Madewell shoes, size down at least ...

09.20.10Anna-Lee BraidsHey guys, check out this quick & easy video on how to do the Alexander Wang side braid from our friend Anna-Lee from Chaz Dean Studio! I love this look, but you really need long/thick hair to properly pull it off. Maybe it would work with clip-in extensions? Hmm... Anyway, if I had Anna-Lee-ish hair, I would wear this look constantly! Very cute.

09.11.10How To: Side BraidCelebs like Ashley Greene, Audrina Patridge and a million others love to wear the Alexander Wang inspired side braid. It's a cool, effortless style that's here to stay. Sam Brocato, stylist and owner of the Sam Brocato Salon in New York City tells us how to recreate the look in four easy steps: Step 1: First, pull all of your hair over to one side. If you want your hair to be behind the ear, be sure to shift the hair in that direction before starting to braid. Step 2: “If you have straight hair, spritz it with ...

08.16.10You Had Me At The Hair…Ok, so, I thought I was going to skip this season of The Rachel Zoe Project. But how can I resist such a giant fashion orgy? So many amazing clothes. Le sigh. And Rachel really is so talented as a stylist. All her clients at the Golden Globes last year--Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Paula Patton--looked phenomenal! Her constant badmouthing of Taylor Jacobson on the show really bug but I hope they secretly have some kind of financial deal worked out just for the show's rating... Not sure what could be worth having your name dragged through the mud ...

11.08.09Coveted CocoApparently, The Hills star Kristen Cavallari was in a hurry to get out of Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills last night (November 7). She left the salon with her blonde hair still soaking wet. I wonder why? My favorite part is leaving the salon with a fantastic blowout. Guess she was in a big hurry. Also, Kristen is carrying one of the most sought-after bags of the season: Alexander Wang's Coco Duffel. This purse generated a lot of buzz because it was originally toted around by Mary-Kate Olsen--way before it was available to the masses. It's now become one of ...
