10.28.11How To: Organic WavesWhen we were in Maui last month, I was reading an old Lucky magazine and came across an interview with hairstylist and makeup artist Sunnie Brook. In the article they mentioned her blog, so of course I had to check it out! And now I'm obsessed. Sunnie has lots of great hair and makeup advice and amazing tutorials. (Seriously, I've watched everything.) I love this one on how to create organic waves with a clipless curling iron. I don't have the patients to put this much effort into my hair on the regular. And, yes, this is what I consider a ...

01.01.11How To: DIY Ombre HairI've been reading about Alex's at-home ombre hair adventure over at her amazing site, Ego-Friendly, and I so understand the feeling of impulsive hair changes, whether it's dashing out to Sally Beauty for a bottle of dye because suddenly you MUST change your color, chopping your own bangs on a whim because they're driving you nuts, or walking into the nearest salon for a haircut you saw on the cover of a magazine (Julia Stiles on the cover of Elle circa 2002.) I've done it all. However, I'm super impressed with people who lighten their hair at home; that's one thing ...

05.04.10Hair EnvySpeaking of Alexander Wang (and winning free clothes!) check out this gorgeous Alexander Wang-inspired side braid on the lovely & amazing blogger, Fashion Chalet. Also, she's wearing an Alexander Wang tank. How perfect. ;) Worth noting too, her nails are OPI Vodka & Caviar--one of my all-time favs.

04.05.10How To: Brig YellowOver on Brig Knows Best, Shear Genius's Brig explains how she achieves her unique shade of Playskool yellow hair. Every four weeks Brig has to retouch her base color to warm up her natural color and lighten it a shade. On top of that, pale highlights are added. A yellow semi-permanent is also added to all of her hair. Because the yellow is a semi-permanent and some of it washes out each shampoo, Brig re-glazes all of her hair with the yellow every one-and-a-half to two weeks. Brig also recommends asking your stylist to lock in the color using a “sealer” when they ...

03.29.10Guess WhoGuess whose eight grade brace face and crunchy curls? It's Brig Van Osten From Shear Genius! She has a blog call Brig Knows Best. Love her or hate her, Brig is pretty unguarded, which always makes for interesting blog fodder... Will I be interviewing her later this week? Hmm. Only two episodes left!

02.09.10Anna-Lee Does StuffThe super duper adorable Anna-Lee is a HOTB commenter who has her own awesome blog: Anna-Lee and Jesse Do Stuff. I love it. She posts gorgeous fashion pictures, as well as snaps of her and her husband doing stuff around LA. Even better, Anna-Lee happens to be a stylist at Chaz Dean Studio, so she also posts before and after photos of haircuts and even videos! It's like my dream blog come true. Check out this sped-up video of Anna-Lee and Chaz transforming clients' hair. So cool.

01.25.10DramaramaFreaking out over this one! Here is the deal: You all watch The Rachel Zoe Project right? Yes, duh. So, everyone remembers that last year my favorite sourpuss Taylor Jacobson announced she was departing from Team Zoe. Word is, Rachel Zoe didn't take Taylor's decision too well. Shock! Via Fashion Week Daily: "Rachel Zoe’s reaction to Taylor Jacobson’s parting from her company was far nastier than anyone could have imagined. As soon as Jacobson drafted her goodbye letter to her colleagues and PR contacts, Zoe apparently began masterminding the blacklist campaign against her former assistant. “Rachel went ballistic,” says our well-placed ...

12.12.09Acrylic NailsSo after trying to figure out how I felt about Tavi this week: Genius writer with a unique inner voice who's been elevated to the rightful spot at the pinnacle of the fashion world? Or a relative child who's been propelled to the top way before her time because of the freakish novelty? Hmm... And then I read about another young fashion blog, and I felt totally different. It was cool, refreshing, interesting. It was like reading Tavi pre-J.D. Salinger comparisons and Harper’s Bazaar columns. At first glance the images on Acrylic Nails Photography look like any other edgy fashion photos, ...

12.11.09Curls + BangsAlong with generally having a major case of Bangs on the Brain, I've also had curly hair/bangs on my mind since one of my curly haired friends mention she was considering bangs, and then HOTB reader Kat mentioned it this week, too. I've been looking around for good images of this look ever since. Annabel from the really terrific blog blushing ambition wears her hair straight most of the time, but there are some examples of her hair curly as well. I think this looks so modern and fresh. I love it. So now I'm kinda obsessed with this look, ...
