(… 1 hour later I re-looked at this post and now I think her hair is kinda ugly, maybe a bit too racoonish?)

The mid-length bob has become a Hollywood favorite for many celebrities. To achieve this look, have your stylist cut your hair to the shoulders, angling the layers (with the shortest layers in back). Then, have her cut a bang that hits a little below the brow line. Finish off by applying a smoothing balm and using a flat iron to make the bob straight as a pin, or use a curling iron for the wavy/curly look!

Well, Jessica’s hairstylist Mark Townsend explains exactly how he did her hur… you’ll be surprised how easy and cheap, yea cheap it was done! Check it out…

“For the MTV Movie Awards I wanted Jessica’s hair to be cool, modern, and beautiful, just like her. We were very inspired by Brigitte Bardot with her loose, full hair and sexy vibe so we added a spritz of Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist to protect her hair from heat styling, then we used bit of Dove Body & Lift  Volumizing Mousse to her damp hair. I absolutely love this mousse because it gives the hair body that I know will last all through the evening and I don’t have to worry about her hair falling flat before the awards show is over.

I then blow dried her hair with a large round brush to give the hair some lift and movement, When all her hair was dry, I sprayed a good amount of Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement all over to give the hair hold, but still allow movement without becoming too stiff or sticky.”

Sounds simple enough and the best part is that everything can be purchased at your local supermarket!

Bored and want to try a new look? Pull your hair back and choose something exploding with color. Take advantage of bright fashions now while you still can! Winter will be here before you know it and back to black we’ll all go. Here are a few of my favorite Summery dresses, perfect for any event. From weddings to just a fun night on the town this look works for everyone

Fruit Stand Dress in Coral $38.00

This dress would be perfect with tan or brown shoes and tons of gold accessories! You could also copy Kim’s take on it and pair it with an accessory that has both black and orange in it to make black shoes work perfectly with it. Love her simple hair and make up so if you want to skip out on accessories all together and grab a hot bag, that’s always an option too!

Fruit Stand Dress in Grape $38.00

This dress could go several ways, black, silver or gold accessories. I personally would probably go for black shoes, silver/rhinestone accessories, but you could also Summer it up by adding golds!

Strawberry Malt Dress $54.00

Sunshine Schooner Dress $58.00

How cuteeee is this dress!? I would try my best to find a heel that matched the buttons on this dress. Keep the hair and make up simple and maybe go for a juicy hot pink lip!

Love any bright colors for Summer stylin and of course include lighter make up! Think pinks, golds, and ditch the matte thick lipstick and try a shimmery clear pink instead!

Lets start off with what’s out. Boring, basic, super tiny, natural highlights… LC status.

LC’s hair is outdated and needs to be updated. If I were her, I would go brighter and blonder. Bolder , brighter highlights would be perfect on LC for the Summer. It would brighten up her entire face and would all over just be a more modern look

Now onto the hair trends I do like. Bright & Bold = so much fun! Stick with whatever shade you currently have, just kick it up a notch. Brighten it up! 2010 is definitely the year of the color.

Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense but that’s ok But hey, get excited girls there’s a new hairstyle in town just in time for all your fancy Springtime activities. Bored with basic ponytails? Over curling your hair? Perfect time to try out the braid. So many cute varieties of braids to try out, here are a few of my faves!

1. Side braid. Hehehehee Jo Jo is gonna kill me, but she always sports the cutest braids I had to put her on braid blast To achieve this simply wash, condition and prep hair with sculpting product to make it easier to manage and add some hold.

Blow-dry hair as usual, you can either blow-dry it straight or get a tousled wave into your hair – the braid will look hot paired with any hair texture.

2. The Braided Bang- I love the braided bang look, unfortunately my short bangs prevent me from ever creating this look. This look can only be done by girls with long bangs. Simply section off one inch of your bangs, pull back the rest of your hair to avoid other strands from disrupting the braid, braid the section of hair, secure with bobby pin, remove hair tie and style hair over the braid.

3. Double Front Braids- Two braids in the front of your hair will give off a Grecian Goddess look that’s also hot at the moment. Instead of starting to braid hair from a side part, you’ll create a middle part and will braid two complete braids that you’ll secure to the side of your head with hair pins – use pins that blend into your hair color You can also disguise the ends of the braids by tucking them underneath the rest of the hair. Finish with a bit of hairspray to keep the braids in place!

So… sure fire ways to be the cutest Beach Bunny this Summer?

1. Her hair- someone shove some extra weave pieces in my head now, long flowy princess hair, I want it… no I need it! Extensions make everything look better. To me at least Sure they might not be user friendly or like-able by anyone touching your head but so what, they look fab. I personally would go for clip in hair extensions that way you can take them in and out as needed. In San Diego?  Hair Unlimited is an extension store that will match your hair color and make the extensions for you, all for around $100.00. Best $100 you’ve ever spent!

2. Her tan. Kim Kardashian is known for lovin’ spray tan. Make sure you’re bronzed and beautiful before bearing it all in your bikini. Stock up now on my favorite sunless tanning products, Million Dollar Tan! If you live in San Diego, email me for locations on where you can get your own MDT Sunless Airbrush tan. You will wonder how you ever lived without it for so long, I know I did.

3. White bikini’s on tan skin. Find a bikini that goes with your complexion. Tan skin and dark hair looks amazing with bright colors and whites. If you are more fair skinned, make sure you go with something that compliments your features… Hair color, skin, eyes etc…

4. Sunglasses. For me sunglasses are an investment I will make. I think they make everything look better, more put together I suppose. There are some cheap things you can fake, but cheap sunglasses aren’t one of them. They cheapen your entire look. Avoid.  I love Kim’s glasses, especially because they match her bikini enough, but not too much… A tiny hint of a white rim, super cute! Aviators will be big again this Summer.

5. Polished Pedi- You can’t see her nails here but I guarantee they are perfectly polished. Another pool party must have. Shiny nails A light pink or light tan would look super cute with this suit, or my never ending favorite, hot pink!

6. Lipgloss- My favorite light lip glosses are from Mac. I love the dazzleglass line, it’s thin, sparkly and lasts forever. It’s a perfect gloss for a sunny day, it brings enough shimmer and shine without leaving you looking like a make up face.

There you have it, the few things us girls must ensure are taken care of before laying poolside. Of course if you are laying in your backyard you can ignore all of the above and throw your hair in a messy pony tail, these suggestions are just for the girls making an important pool cameo somewhere fun. Vegas? Miami? A big phattttttt boat? Yup.

Ha ha talking about parts made me remember zig zag parts, do you remember those? Mine had to be perfect ha ha soooo ugly.

And for those of you who think I listen to everything Kim Kardashian says, here is proof I dont! What Kim K. had to say about Beyonce’s red carpet Grammy look:

“ Beyonce was 100 percent my pick for best dressed of the night. Her Stephane Rolland dress is so gorgeous and her eye makeup works perfectly with the Egyptian feel. I also love the side part in her hair and the subtle glitter highlights. She always looks flawless and I love that she flaunts her curves! Curves are beautiful, dolls!”

About the only thing we agree on is loving the side part and curves. Beyonce’s dress & hair was fugs and those earrings don’t work with the dress at all to me.
