Not Exactly A Turban: Head Scarves Are A Nice BOHO Look For Spring/Summer 2013





































Okay, we'll be honest, we were NOT going to be dressing up in a turban anytime soon, so when that trend popped up 3 years ago, we were happy to see it tank eventually, ha ha.

Now the big thing for Spring/Summer 2013 are head scarves, which are just a bit more casual and boho-chic if you will.

A head scarf doesn't have to sit so structured upon the head. It's not so severe a style. It's easy-going and can corral in any hairstyle long or short, curly or pin-straight, even glam on shaved or bald heads.

Marc by Marc Jacobs showed off the boho trend at his Spring show (above).
























Dolce + Gabbana is featuring lots of pretty patterned head scarves in his beautiful print
ads.



And then of course, there is the legendary beauty herself--Sophia Loren looking doe-eyed and chic in a black + white stripe head scarf.

Head scarves are a really nice way to HIDE a bad hair day, too.

Will you be tying one on?

Jennifer Lawrence Chops Hair Into Farrah Fawcett Layered Sexy Do!


Okay, we are not saying that Jennifer Lawrence holds the same sex appeal that the late Farrah Fawcett certainly showed off, but we see a similarity in the layered style both ladies are wearing in these photos.

The Academy award winner recently had her hair chopped off and this is the blonde beachy-wavy do that Farrah made famous. She debuted her brand new bob at Sunday's GLADD awards.

Here's what stylist Mark Townsend said to Harper's Bazaar:

"Yesterday, Jennifer showed up an hour before call time and as she opened the door she was like ‘Mark, I want to cut it all off,"' Townsend told Harper’s Bazaar. “I was like 'What? Are we allowed to do that?' And she said 'Of course, it’s my hair!'''

Townsend gave her a  long, shaggy bob with lots of face-framing layers. "She was super excited. It’s the shortest her hair has been her whole life," he said — though in his own eagerness, he cut his finger in the process! "As I cut, I lost track of how many times she said ‘I love it!"'

Of course, Farrah had INCREDIBLE locks and we prefer Farrah's do hands down, but we see the tamer version in Jennifer Lawrence's cut.




































In other words, the potential for a messier, sexy Farah do is there if Jennifer wants to take her hair to the ultimate level.

When Jenny McCarthy Hits The Road She Takes Along Her Eyedews


With Jenny McCarthy's hectic schedule and many public appearances, the pretty star always tries to look put together.

She's now host of her own VH1 Friday night show, The Jenny McCarthy Show at 10:30 PM.

Of course, when you're burning the wick at both ends, your tired eyes tell the story. Dark circles, wrinkly, puffy, etc.

Jenny's quick fix are a box of Eyedews. These cool, natural eye-gel pads make everything right, again. We found some at Amazon.com($49.99, for 3 treatments).

And the effective ingredients are all good:
 
Natural Marine Collagen Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Chitosan and Vitamins C & E..

The 40-year-old beauty packs them in her bag to be on-the-ready:

"Eyedews are my secret weapon. They're little gel pads that go under your eyes to fight bags and wrinkles. I put them on during trips." Great beauty tip, Jenny!

Mindy Kaling Has A Crush On Tom Ford's Eye Color Quad

Gotta love Mindy Kaling. She's so cute and of course, very funny.

Mindy's got a beauty tip she wants to share regarding the perfect smoky eye. She adores Tom Ford's eye color quad, according to US magazine:
"I'm crazy about Tom Ford makeup" Mindy says. Her signature eye palette:

Cognac Sable ($75, at neimanmarcus.com).

$75 for an eyeshadow quad?! Are you crazy, Mindy?

Well, Tom Ford makes excellent makeup.

In fact, the Cognac Sable was named
"Best Eye shadow for Olive Skin" for InStyle magazine's "Best Beauty Buys" (May 2012).

This color quad comes with 4 luxurious finishes—--sheer sparkle, satin, shimmer and matte— offering "a spectrum of intensity and effects and deliver incredible shade fidelity and outstanding adhesion."







We have light olive skin. We want this Tom Ford quad, too.

Supermodel Heidi Klum Looks Super Normal Sans Makeup!

Okay....case in point....Makeup DOES matter.

Take a look at supermodel Heidi Klum BEFORE + AFTER. There's the lovely mom-of-four hanging out in sunny L.A. yesterday afternoon sans makeup. The photos clearly show one thing to us:

Heidi has excellent bone structure, including long neck + high cheekbones.

But is that enough to skip the cosmetics?

Yes, in many ways. We happen to think she looks better with makeup on, but when you have such stunning facial bones, well, it doesn't matter what you've got on your face.
 
 
Still, quite a shocker to see the German beauty bare-faced without a stitch of anything on.
.




































She almost looks, er.....well, normal.

Now, check out the Bravo TV 'Project Runway' host with her red carpet makeup  + California beauty look.

Last month, Heidi remarked to HollywoodLife.com this:

"I tend to not wear make-up on my off days. I am not complicated, I don’t have tons of creams or anything like that. I stay simple."

She's almost 40. And to keep that fit figure, Heidi just refrains from a few things:

"Saying NO to a bunch of stuff people say YES to. It’s hard. I don’t drink a lot of alcohol, alcohol is bad! It has a lot of calories and is not good for the body. Sometimes I like a glass of wine or in the summer I will have a beer, but people drink a lot and they explode, its just not good for your body!"

What do you think of Heidi Klum's sans makeup look?
