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, ...

11.21.09R.I.P. Daul KimOh, you guys, this is so sad. I just noticed that my search traffic for the South Korean supermodel Daul Kim was way up, so I googled her name and found out that she died. Some of you may have already heard about this, but I was off the Internet for a while today, so I missed the news. She hung herself and was found by a friend in her luxury flat in Paris, according to police. Daul had left a series of messages on her website (iliketoforkmyself.blogspot.com) saying she was "lonely" and "depressed". She was only 20 ...

11.17.09I Love My HairAndrea Pippins (graphic designer and blogger) recently launched I Love My Hair, an online boutique where you can purchase her curl-centric prints. Andrea began designing the prints in 2008 as part of a grad school thesis project. I Love My Hair was a campaign to encourage African-American women to love and embrace their naturally coily hair. Now, the prints have evolved into a brand that celebrates those special coils through art and design. I love Andre's prints, and I think they would make such awesome gifts. Plus, they're super reasonably priced, between $25-$30. This image was Inspired by West African barber shop ...

11.11.09Katharine McPhee Goes BlondeWhat do you think of Katharine McPhee's new(ish) short blonde hair? She looks better as a brunette, in my opinion, but I get the fact that she wants to try new things. Katharine dished to popeater about the new look. On whether or not the dye-job was spur of the moment, Katharine says, "I can't say it wasn't calculated because I didn't want it to be a complete disaster and have my hair fall out, but it was a natural thing to do. I always wanted to know what it was like to have blond hair. People get complacent and know ...

11.07.09Hair Inspiration: Short ShortEver since Victoria Beckham unleashed her amazing new hairstyle, short hair has been on my brain. I got my own hair trimmed at The Hive in Silver Lake recently (full review to come!) and was telling Lissa, the owner, that I just don't think I look good with short hair. But I wish I did though because I obsess over it a million times more than long hair. Walking into Gelson's the other day, I saw a girl with her blonde hair cut super short--almost shaved in the back with long, floppy layers in the front. I did a deadstop in ...

11.04.09Tabatha’s Salon Takeover: Fact or Fiction?Did everyone watch the Season 2 premiere of Tabatha's Salon Takeover last night? It was so good! I love Tabatha Coffey. She is dead serious about hair. And she doesn't suck at what she does. (When she said that to annoying as hell Lindsay last night, I lol'd.) She doesn't care if people think she's a bitch because she gets stuff done--correctly. I like people like that. And I'm generally amazed at how poorly people run their businesses on this show! Last night was b-a-n-a-n-a-s. I was excited that the salon was based in my old hometown of Chicago, although ...
