Not Every Gal Can Be Blonde And Look Good In It---Er, Yasmin, Is That You?

We have always admired the classic, quiet beauty of the UK's Yasmin Le Bon.

So imagine our horror when we saw her major beauty transformation:

The longtime model has gone platinum!

Sorry----though Yasmin remains physically stunning, even she CANNOT pull off the switch to blonde--at least not in this very pale shade of platinum.

She looks 'washed-out.'. And those tell-tale roots aren't helping any.

We admire that the English beauty was busy attending a Tatler Great Girls Lunch in aid of Cancer Research UK on Monday as she debuted her punk, pixie, platinum do.

But the look is all wrong.

Sometimes, we just can't all be blonde and look good in it...ourselves, included.

Now here's a photo of Yasmin in a summer Monsoon magazine cover shot. Her long, sandy brown locks are so beautiful, especially the brunette shade.

Whatever the case, when lots of peroxide is involved, you will NEED a darn effective conditioner!



Try ApHogee Intensive Two Minute Keratin Reconstructor ($8.45, at Amazon). This stuff rocks!  It provides a weekly regimen to treat brittle hair with cuticle damage and moderate breakage.

Vanessa Hudgens Loves Her Leather ASOS Baseball Cap!

Actress Vanessa Hudgens is a famous, young celebrity. Maybe that's why we often see the brunette cutie with her head down hiding  under a cool, black baseball cap. Stay away, paparazzi! Stay away!

Vaness is right-on-trend, because this is a HOT, casual daytime look.

We like it because it's black leather. That makes this baseball cap both edgy + expensive-looking. And it's quite feminine, too.

Vanessa just adores her leather baseball cap. She seems to hit the streets in it ALL the time.

You can copy the look, too. She's wearing an ASOS Leather Cap ($40.50, at asos.com).
One size fits all. It has a smooth, black matte finish.

We thinks it's a good investment, as leather lasts a long time, if cared for properly.

Jennifer Hudson Wearing It Well----At The Top Of Her Game!

Jennifer Hudson seems to be everywhere these days. From awards ceremonies to morning talk shows to the cover of a magazine.

We don't know how many, if ANY pounds she has put on, but Jennifer Hudson has NEVER looked better! Check out these recent photos:

Here's the Academy Award winner in all white, being honored at the Variety's 5th Annual Power of Women event in Hollywood Friday evening.

Her hair + makeup look flawless!

Here's the 32-year-old superstar on her way to 'Good Morning America in a wine-colored dress:

Plus, the brunette beauty is also featured on the cover of Manhattan magazine.

 She's got her style together and looking pretty amazing!
Three years ago, Jennifer dropped 80 lbs. through Weight Watchers, and has kept it off.
She spoke to Huffington Post about her favorite snacks:

" I love chocolate chip cookies. And right now, I’m a huge fan of the Snickers ice cream bars, because it’s only five points. And then I can have chocolate, ice cream and nuts, but it’s almost not cheating until I go over."

 

By the way, WW has its OWN brand of Snickers-like ice cream bars. We're not sure if Jennifer meant these, pictured here. But the WW points on these are only 3 pts., and she mentioned them having 5 pts. We'll have to check on that.

 

Copy Gwen Stefani's Cool Autumn Punk Rocker Chic Look For Less!!

We are big Gwen Stefani fans!

She has cool, edgy style and gets away with peroxide blonde bombshell hair. And she wears it ALL so well! She's a modern-day Marilyn Monroe gone wild!

Let's take a fashion peek at the latest punk hot trend that Gwen is walking around in L.A..

The pregnant mama, said to be expecting her 3rd child at 43, looks amazing in her stand-out black + white skinny jeans, along with a lovely Chanel bag and black blazer.

We found a cheaper pair of striped skinnies. Check them out here at fe.com for $34! These Foreign Exchange black and white skinny jeans are so IN for autumn. They feature the classic single button + zipper closure. Very sexy.

Hey, not a bad, copy-cat pair of edgy, striped skinnies.

Rock on, ladies. Rock on!

October Beauty Equals A Colorful, Matte Lip!

It seems that a matte lip is right on trend for October 2013.

As long as the lipstick color is strong and NOT shiny, then it's HOT for FALL.

Let's take a look at our 3 stunning celebs---Julianne Hough, Emma Watson + Kim Kardashian.

We think all 3 ladies look glam!

We especially adore Julianne's old Hollywood beauty and the neutral brown lip.

Emma looks sophisticated in mauve, while new momma Kim wows them at Paris Fashion Week with a bold, wine-vamp shade.

With all 3 looks, the lips take center-stage, but not in a tacky way Nothing GLOSSY, just a nice matte lip.

The eye makeup follows behind with a simple, understated approach to balance the colorful, matte lip.

Instead, the brows are full + groomed. Gorgeous on Julianne, Emma + Kim!

What do you think?

Will you pucker up to October in a colorful, matte lip?

Taylor Swift Brings Back Chic, Lady-Like Tights For Fall

Taylor Swift is not only a multi-award winning singer, but she is also a fashion trendsetter to her many legions of loyal fans.

The tall, slender superstar LOVES wearing chic, lady-like tights. Here she is strolling around L.A. with dear friend Demi Lovato a few days ago, in adorable swiss dot tights.

You can copy her elegant, classic style with a pretty pair from Kate Spade New York. We found them at Bloomingdale's for $28 a pair.

Would you rock some tights, er pantyhose, for Fall?

Taylor adores black tights with patterns:

Major Cleavage On Display: Kim K + Miranda K Lead The Boob Parade

Okay....we've been noticing this, er, major cleavage on display ALL week now.

Are we jealous much?

We have a small bosom....a 34B. And yeah, we CAN create nice cleavage via  a VS push-up bra.....But what we're seeing lately from a few naughty celebs is an almost vulgar display.

Take a look at Kim K + Miranda K during Paris Fashion Week:

"Hey, everybody...Yoo-who! Here I am, and I've brought out the girls!! Look at me, PLEASE!! I'm showing off major boobage!"

Is going bra-less for those with ample breasts really in vogue?!

Apparently so. Extreme plunging necklines are HOT!

But isn't there a limit for how LOW you can go, ladies?

Check out Gwyneth Paltrow gone bra-less out in L.A. for a recent fashion shoot.

Do smaller-breasted women like Gwyneth look classier in super plunging fashion?

Or is it all vulgar whether it's an A-cup, D-cup, or even F-cup?

If you care to plunge, please invest in some lift tape, like Bubbles Breast Lift Tape.
