It's all about your HAIR!!!

The new trend isn’t something you can purchase in a boutique or online. It seems that all Hollywood is going crazy with their hair. From cutting off inches of locks to dying your head a drastic new color, celebrities are altering their hair styles like they switch their relationships.
Pop princess, Britney Spears recently cut off inches of her hair in preparation of baby Federline. The new do will be low maintenance compared to her long locks for the new mom-to-be. While Britney’s hubby Kevin, had his hair braided in corn rows. Very father like, don’t you think???




Another highly publicized couple Brad Pitt and new girlfriend Angelina Jolie have also both changed up their dos, maybe in order to hide from paparazzi. Brad went from a shaved brunette, to having a bleach blonde mohawk and has recently been photographed as having jet black hair. During the time Brad sported his blonde mohawk, ex-wife Jennifer Aniston was reported mocking Brad’s new look saying he was a “Billy Idol want-a-be!!” I agree with Jen, while Brad looks amazing wearing almost anything, that haircut was not one of his best trends. Angelina on the other hand has gone from jet black to a softer blonde for an upcoming movie The Good Shepard. If you ask me, I think both Brad and Angelina need to find some new hairdressers.

Other celebrities such as Linsdey Lohan, Jessica Alba, and Uma Thurman have all decided that being a blonde was a summer phase and have dyed their hair darker for the fall season. My thought on the new looks… both Lindsey and Jessica look much better with darker hair but Uma on the other hand, looks kind of odd as a brunette. Thankfully it’s just for a movie she’s filming titled Super Ex-Girlfriend otherwise she should definitely stick with her blonde roots.




Mandy Moore and Nicky Hilton still believe that blondes have more fun, both girls have switched from brunette back to their original color of blonde. I personally think that both looked better as brunettes, especially Nicky, who once again resembles her sister Paris.



So in conclusion…try something new with your hair whether it be cutting off inches and or dying it a whole new color. The hottest trend in Hollywood hair is CHANGE!!!

Hollywood's Most Stylish Couples

What the greatest accessory in Hollywood??? No, it’s not your Gucci purse or your Manolo Blaniks pumps, it’s the hot guy or girl you have on your arm. Whether it is couples getting married, having babies, or even just having a fling, all eyes are watching who and what these famous faces are wearing when they are together. Here are my top three picks for most stylish couple.

For weeks now we have been hearing about Nick and Jessica, are they getting divorced or staying together??? Well, unfortunately I don’t have that answer, sorry, but I do know that they are still one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples. Whether it is going out to a red carpet event or hanging out in the living room of their Beverly Hills mansion, one thing is for sure, they are always stylish. The best part is, that this couple, made uber famous by MTV’s reality show “The Newly Weds” always act and dress their age, coordinating the color and look of their outfits.



Speaking of acting their age, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise may be 16 years apart but their “style in clothing is most definitely in sync” says Dubin of People magazine. Usually seen wearing very casual clothing such as jeans and leather jackets around town but when out to a premier or public celebrity event, Tom and Katie know how to dress the part of a Hollywood couple. I wonder what Katie will wear now that she is pregnant and will Tom dress the part of father-to-be (remember his other two children with Nicole were adopted)???? I guess we will have to wait and see.



Last but not least we have what some consider the most famous couple in the world. David Beckham and wife, Victoria are both considered fashion icons in their own right. Soccer star David is known for his crazy hairstyles and Victoria, once known as Posh Spice from the Spice Girls, is known for her sexy yet classy style. She always makes jeans look ultra chic, even designing her own line for Rock & Republic. This couple even has two kids which dress just as good as their mom and dad. Can you even imagine being the children of David and Victoria? Lucky kids.



Ok, so who do you all think is the most stylish Hollywood couple…is it Jessica and Nick, Tom & Katie, or David and Victoria???

Also check out People magazine’s “Do They Dress Their Age” article and vote on your favorite celebrities, such as Lindsey Lohan, Jennifer Lopez and more to see which style you think is most age appropriate.

Fall Equals Fashion




This week in People magazine lists all the hottest new fall trends. From the hottest color this season, updated hobo bags, to newsboy caps, this season is loaded with hot new trends as well as some old classics.

If you recall a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned black is back, well not only is it back, but it is everywhere. Every A-list star is pulling her little black dress and pant suit out of her closet for a fall comeback. Such stars as Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, and Jessica Simpson have all been seen recently wearing the ensembles down the red carpet.

For all you girls who recently purchased falls hottest new bag, the hobo bag, has recently been updated by adding jewels, studs and locks. These hot new additions to the bag enable wearers to carry it at night now too. The queen of the hobo bag Sienna Miller has been sporting around the latest bag all around town as well as Sharon Stone. Which makes the point, it doesn’t matter how old you are, hobo bags can be worn by anyone of any age.

I am personally excited for this next trend which was popular a few years back. Newsboy caps are finally making a comeback. So all you girls (and guys too) go to the back of your closet and find that cap you packed away. It’s a great accessory for those days you don’t feel like doing your hair, just pop one of these caps on and not only are masking your horrible do’, you also look extremely stylish and up-to-date. Such stars as Elle MacPhearson, Lucy Lui, and Jessica Alba have all added this chic look to their wardrobe.

Finally, a couple more trends worth noting…wedge boots, printed dresses, and folkloric prints (not to be confused with the played out peasant trend) are also great fall fashion trends.

Stay tuned next week to find out what you need to look like a star!!!

Designer or Desperate Housewives???... And whats to come this fall in fashion!!!

Ok, so we all know that the women of Desperate Housewives are gorgeous but did they have to steal the show at the Emmy's too? All four women showed up to the award show wearing, how coincidently, brightly colored gowns. For once no one was wearing black, white or brown. Does it remind anyone else of four women from an extremely popular TV show, dedicated to the lives of women???...hmmm...Maybe People magazine though I think Eva Longoria's dress wins as my personal favorite and Marcia Cross's as my least. But let’s face it; it's hard to compare anyone to Eva. What does everyone else think…who gets your vote???

Totally aside from the Emmy’s, in this month In Style Magazine with Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover, it reads that the hottest new trend for fall is plastic reading glasses. Eyewear designer Robert Marc states, “Glasses are fashion eyewear for the face.” Which is probably why celebrities such as Alicia Keys, Angelina Joli, and once again Eva Longoria have been spotted all around town wearing stylish yet sophisticated frames as accessories, without needing a prescription. Our favorite designers are even coming out with these trendy glasses, Coach, Donna Karen. Prada and Chanel all carry their own lines. A great tip when buying a pair; go with a shade that is in harmony with your hair color, eye color or makeup palette.

On a final note: fall is here, so what does that mean to all of you fashion conscious readers????...It’s time to buy a new winter jacket!!!...Such styles as the long belted “Jackie O” coat and military styles are really hot right now. So go to your nearest mall and pick one up, because winter will be here before you know it!

From the latest fall trends to Britney's designer baby


From the pages of Us Weekly come the hottest new trends in Hollywood. Remember when I said last week that chocolate brown would eventually be replaced by black. Well all, it has finally happened; the stars are finally walking down the red carpet wearing black and white. Just this past week Reese Witherspoon showed up to her premier of Just Like Heaven wearing a absolutely gorgeous Monique Lhullier beaded dress and Rachel Bilson, from one of my favorite shows the O.C. wore a vintage inspired Jovovich-Hawk strapless dress to a Hollywood party. Needless to say, black and white prints are going to be the new fall staple. So girls, I'm telling you now, go get a new little black dress, you'll thank me later.

The next "it" item you must own this fall is...a big slouchy hobo bag. Not only are they stylish but actually practical as well. For once it's a bag that you can actually carry stuff in. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have been seen carrying around these bags in New York for months now. Which makes sense; they are nicknamed "the hobo princesses". Sienna Miller and Kate Hudson both recently purchased hobo bags and remember the bigger the bag, the better. Check out Coach to find your hot new hobo bag.

Anyway, moving on… so did you all hear?...Britany’s baby is going to clothed by Donatella Versace. How crazy is that? Let’s just hope Britany chooses better clothes for baby than she does herself. Maybe Donatella can help Britany and her hubby, Kevin Federline dress like actual parents.

Well, that's all for this week. Check in next week to find out what you need to have in your closet in order to look like a star!

NYC's Fashion Week Update


This week just happened to be New York City's Fashion Week. With the hottest trends for spring hitting the runway there was bound to be a multitude of celebrity “it girl” sightings. At the Marc Jabocs show Lindsey Lohan looked good enough to walk down the runway wearing a strapless cream colored dress. Of course fashion wouldn’t be fashion week without the one and only Paris Hilton. She attended Diance Von Furstenberg show wearing her signature trendy sunglasses. Her counterpart Nicole Richie kicked off Fashion Week with a party at The New Space in Chelsea. The ultra skinny Richie looked amazing in a coral, floor-length vintage Jill Stuart dress. Speaking of parties….Jacob the Jeweler launched his very first line of footwear at the club Bungalow, attending the party was Ashanti, Mary J Blige, and the list goes on and on.

With all the parties and shows happening you are probably wondering what will we see the stars wearing come spring????

Well ruffles both on top and bottom were seen in the Luca Luca, Doo R, and Cynthia Steffe collections while tiered skirts and dresses will most likely be all the rage. In the Kenneth Cole show models wore ballet shoes and crinkled chiffon dresses while in the Marc Jacobs girls wore ultra chic school girl attire. Almost all the shows had a very feminine feel to them and I think will be a good prediction of the trends to come.

This week from In Touch

This week in the Latest Star Favorite section of In Touch magazine they show shark-tooth necklaces and tattoo trucker hats as being the latest trends in Hollywood. Such stars as Brad Pitt, and Lindsey Lohan were spotted wearing the necklaces around town which are believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits. I personally love the necklaces and think they will become a hot new trend of the season. On the other hand, I think the tattoo trucker hats created by Ed Hardy are hideous. The trucker hat trend disappeared last year and should stay hidden. Stars such as Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, and Mariah Carey should know better than to wear a hat with skulls all over it.
Moving on...the hottest color of the week seems to be a chocolate color brown. Eva Longoria sported a simple strapless dress by Cynthia Rowley as well as Jessica Alba and Jamie Lynn DiScala. Pairing the color with gold and or turquoise is a simple way to bring life to the sometimes boring color. All in all, I feel the color is a good transition into fall but personally I think you will start seeing the brown taken over by black in the months to come.
Finally, I think everyone should check out “The 10 Biggest Fashion Offenders.” The article includes Tara Reid who is always “hanging out” Paula Abdul who doesn’t understand the art of coordination and Juliette Lewis who comes in as the worst dressed star in Hollywood. No surprise considering all she wears is spandex.
Well that’s all. Check back in to see what the stars are or aren’t wearing in Hollywood.
