01.22.11Two ThingsTwo things: I love that Michelle Obama wore Alexander McQueen to the state dinner for Chinese president Hu Jintao this week. I know this kinda falls into the "who really cares" category, since politics should be all political and not fashionable, but growing up with a glamorized notion of JFK and Jackie, I can't help but love the fact that we have a first lady who is so fashiony and would even wear McQueen. Even though her choice is now being debated in the press because it wasn't a Chinese designer, etc. It must be exhausting to have your clothing ...

06.09.10Hair Inspiration: Gray & ShortWhen I was jogging around the Silver Lake Reservoir yesterday, I saw a woman with beautiful gray hair cut in the coolest short haircut. I really couldn't really tell how old she was... She wasn't exactly a 20-something rocking the new gray hair trend, but she was far from an old lady too. She was in incredible shape and looked gorgeous. As I have stated on HOTB before, I think there is something so bold and attractive about gray hair on the right woman. And it has been completely redefined in recent years. With celebs like Pink, Kate Moss, and ...

03.30.10Hair Inspiration: Katie Gallagherrefinery29 asked up-and-coming New York designer Katie Gallagher the question I would ask: How do you get your hair that color? "I'm naturally very blonde; so when I dye the entire thing cool blonde and use the right toner, I get a blue/gray hue," she says. "It's basically what happens to the grandmas you see that have light pink, purple, or blue hair. They had a little chemical accident with their color and the toner mixture...or they're just really cool."

01.31.10Gone BlueAt first I thought this was more gray hair. This time on Style Rookie's Tavi Gevinson. Front row at Fashion Week! Lela pointed out that it's actually blue, which you can tell a lot better in this pic. In the top one, it just makes her look like one of those crazy old ladies that dyes their hair that accidental shade of blue/gray. Crap. She's growing on me. I love the blue...

01.28.10Kate Goes GrayLike it or not, the gray hair trend continues. And apparently shows no sign of dying down, considering one of the biggest fashion icons around, Kate Moss, just dyed gray streaks into her blonde hair. Like Pixie Geldof, Kate is part of the growing trend of younger (mostly British still, it seems) women who are intentionally dying their hair gray. My only guess is that Kate did it to match the silver fox she was kicking it with at the Longchamp party where she launched her signature collection, Kate Moss for Longchamp. Kate looks incredibly chic, but I still don't get ...

01.17.10Sunday Hair InspirationI'm listening to the Golden Globes pre-pre show online and looking around for hairspiration... Check out this platinum blonde bob with blunt bangs. It's so blonde it's almost gray! She looks unique and chic. I love the chunky geometric necklace. We've seen side-swept bangs for so long, but lately these wispy bangs across the brow are making a comeback. They're very youthful.

12.16.09"Gray Just Seemed Obvious"Is gray hair the next in-vogue hair color? According to Hanna Hanra of the Times UK, "growing numbers of women are no longer eschewing the very thought of gray, but embracing a gunmetal mane with pride--and attitude." And most of them are under thirty. Including 19-year-old British socialite, and Bob Geldof’s daughter, Pixie Geldof, pictured above with makeup maven Pat McGrath. Pixie showed off her silvery gray hair at the British Fashion Awards last week. Pixie told Times UK, “I’d been blonde for three years and fancied a change. I wasn’t thinking about the color, I just put on ...

11.16.09I Luv U, NicNicole Kidman has been looking incredibly good lately. There have been rumors in the industry that Nicole's hair turned gray at a very young age, and since gray is hard to cover, she uses wigs and extensions in her films and on the red carpet. Nicole obviously had in some new extra-long extensions when leaving her NYC apartment this morning (November 16). I love it! I'm thrilled to see an example of good extensions on a celeb. (Can she give her stylist's name to Mischa, please?) Nicole's extensions look natural, soft and healthy, and the hair color is perfect on Nicole. I ...

03.17.09Tuesday Hair InspirationI just got back from Palm Springs, so my brain is still in foggy, vaca mode. But I did stumble upon this very hair inspiration worthy post. I love women who let their hair gray naturally. Over this vacation with my boyfriend's family, we were discussing an aunt who we all think is very amazing and very beautiful. And she has the most lovely gray hair. Dyeing isn't always the best route. Some people look quite stunning with their naturally gray hair. Also, how fantastic is it to see someone just age? To just let their beautiful aged face shine through. I ...
