04.15.11Drew Goes RedLast year Drew Barrymore's beachy waves and ombre hair color got a lot of attention. But like anyone, Drew grew bored of the look and moved on. What was once old news, was new again... Red! Drew went for an all-over light auburn shade this time. It looks great with her pale complexion, but it is a good thing Drew has a stylist at her beck and call, as anyone who has dyed their hair red will tell you--it fades like crazy! As you can see, Drew has dabbled with every color and style imaginable over the years. She is one of ...

04.12.11Demi Bob New Beauty Phenom?Vogue declares the demi bob not just a hair trend, but a Beauty Phenomenon. The bob length is described as hitting "anywhere between mid-neck and shoulder-dusting". Examples of this phenom? Alexa Chung... Natalia Vodianova and Brooklyn Decker. And according to Vogue, the original inspiration was model Arizona Muse. (Appropriately named!) One could argue that hair length hitting between mid-neck and shoulders is really just a bob but whatever. Vogue has been in business since 1892! Each month they have to come up with some new/old trend, right? So what do you think of this beauty phenomenon? Will you be chopping your locks this summer?

02.15.11Pretty People ProblemsIn the February issue of ELLE magazine, the article "Rough Riders" explains how to get matte, dull-looking, "lived-in" hair. You know, that I just woke up, haven't showered, ratty ponytail look that most of us achieve by waking up and putting our hair in a ponytail. But apparently there are some people with hair SO AMAZING that it takes real effort to fug it up. This reminds me of an article I read years ago (in Nylon, I think) about how to achieve chipped nail polish. Seriously. All kidding aside, matte hair done right can look kind of cool. The ...

06.17.10All I See Is DiorYou love your favorite designer brands so much that you're wiling to tot their logos around on your handbangs, maybe on a scarf or jeans, but on your contact lenses? John Galliano says yes. Yes, you will! He created these Christian Dior Contact Lenses that are imprinted with a sheen of gold and the iconic Christian Dior logo... Crazy, right? But they are kind of beautiful at the same time. Also, creepy also amazing. I don't know what to think. Of course, I would never wear something like this, but I think the actual gold lens, minus the Christian Dior logo, ...

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 ...

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 ...

10.24.09Thoughts On VanessaI have a couple of things to say about this snap of Vanessa Hudgens arriving at a meeting in Hollywood today: First of all, I feel better about myself that Vanessa leaves the house with her hair like this. Bun-on-top-of-the-head is very me. I mean, I love perfectly put together hair, but that shiz takes effort and a lot of the time most of the time, I just wash it, throw some Moroccanoil in and go. Hence, the bun. Anyway, VanHudg is "just" like us! Only, you know, she makes millions of dollars per movie. Also, what do you guys think of ...

09.30.09You're ITWhile some people think natural shades are big for fall, Style.com is saying that there's a trend of embracing Agyness Deyn's former platinum blonde hair color as the It color. For every hair expert that says long hair is in, there is always someone that will tell you it's totally out, and while some stylists will say red hair is over, others will say it's bigger than ever. Every one has their own opinion, which is what keeps things interesting. But there is no right answer when it comes to this stuff. (Except that Rumer Willis' extensions are awful. That's a fact.) I ...

09.23.09Rihanna is Totally '90sRihanna got some new blonde highlights... What do you guys think: Thumbs up or thumbs down? I think it's kinda cute, but she did too much color. A few blonde highlights would have been really cool, but it's practically all blonde in front. Still, I like how RiRi is always doing something different. Of course, I hate that dark lipstick. Super dark lips are suppose to be a big trend for fall, but let's make it not happen, k? I remember this trend from the '90s, and it's just not flattering on anyone.

08.05.09Sugar FactoryI've been meaning to mention that this trend of celebrities with fancy lollipops--you've probably seen pictures of celebs like Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Rihanna with these tricked out lollipops. I did like two seconds of research on Internets and realized they all come from Sugarfactory.com--the home of the “Signature Series Couture Lollipop.” According to their site, the Sugar Factory has created bejeweled and custom handles you can pair with a rainbow of lollipop flavors to create your own custom sweet sensation. Match your mood, outfit, or special occasion with Couture Lollis. And coming in the fall of ...
