Headband Hunger

Starlets such as your fave Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), Nicole Richie and Katherine Heigl have all been spotted wearing headbands in all sorts of fashions. Whether your style is hippie chic, prep, trendy or you want to dress up a sophisticated updo there’s a headband out there for everyone.

My personal favorite are those by Jennifer Behr. Her new Spring collection debuts the most gorgeous crystals. They’re almost as special as wearing a tiara, which definitely fits my style! Katie Perry, Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton are also huge fans of her hair accessories.



Luscious Locks

Before the Zac Posen show during New York Fashion Week I stopped by the Tresemme booth in the tent at Bryant Park to check out their latest launches. I was so excited when I learned about their 24 Hour Body line, because I have very thin hair that needs all the help it can get.

The line consists of everything from shampoo and conditioner to styling products, but my favorite is the 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray. It keeps my blowouts in check and adds volume and bounce without making my hair too stiff or sticky.


*Expert tip from the Tresemme stylist team:

To add voluptuous body, use a large round brush when blow drying to simultaneously smooth and add lift. First, place the brush at the roots and wrap a section of hair around it. Then, pull the brush down through your strands following with the dryer. Repeat a few times over each section as necessary and woo-la!, a salon-like blow out.


Chic Cheeks


I have a weakness for packaging and when I saw this new bronzing powder from Yves Saint Laurent I had to have it regardless of what it could do for my look. YSL teamed up with famed makeup artist, Val Garland, when creating this springs Palette D’Artiste, $62.


At first, I didn’t want to mess it up by using it, but it wasn’t long before I got over it and gently swiped a big brush across the whole palette. The combination of colors gave me a healthy pick-me-up. You can also separately use the brown stripe for contouring and sculpting and the pink for highlighting.

Mary Kate Sexifies Her Style


Mary Kate Olsen attended the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th Anniversary Gala this past Sunday in NYC showcasing a foxy new look. Red lips and nails paired with dramatic eyes and bed head hair… hot. I’m impressed all around.  Thoughts?



Clearasil Searches for First Dance Crew


When I was young, Clearasil used to be my go-to line for everything skincare. Every once in a while I still get a zit here and there and I recently came across their Ultra Pimple Blocker Pen, $9.99, which you put on right as you feel a pimple forming. I decided to test it out, and sure enough, it stopped my zit from ever fully developing.

In conjunction with this new product launch, Clearasil is holding their first ever Pimple Blocker Battle in search of their First Dance Crew. Teenagers from all over the East coast auditioned for five spots to compete in front of a panel of celebrity judges including celebrity choreographer GEO, Drew Lachey and Alyson Stoner at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, NYC on April 7th. Michelle Tractenberg is hosting.


Three crews will move on and America will vote online. The winning crew receives a $10,000 prize pack! Check out some of the auditions on You Tube and stay tuned for a battle update!
