Scalp a Celebrity and Wear Her Hair!

Filed under: Hair Cut and Style

Whose hair do you want to try on? Images courtesy of DailyMakeover.com

Celebrity hair: Are there two less innocent words in the English language?

Think of Drew Barrymore's crazy Angie Dickinson-'do at the Golden Globes. Taking into account not only all the product which went into that thing, but also the ink and the trees and bloggers' server hours that were devoted to writing about it, that single coif probably had a carbon footprint the size of Duluth.

But admit it, you wondered what you'd look like under all that Aqua Net, didn't you?

Now, through the miracle of the Internet, you can scalp a celebrity (figuratively) and try on some of those Hollywood locks yourself. Daily Makeover is a web site that allows you to upload your own picture and transport the hair styles of stars like Rihanna, Halle Berry and of course Miss Barrymore right onto your head. And you can also try on virtual make-up.

It's the perfect place for a bit of girly fun, and also your husband's drag queen fantasies. I hope he looks better in Drew's hair than I did.

Celeb Fashion Lines

    These days, no self respecting celebrity can hold her (or his) head up in Hollywood without a clothing, shoe, handbag, or home furnishings line to call their own. But are these stars really qualified to add designer to their resume? StyleList puts them to the test. First up...
    Celeb:Taylor Swift
    Fashion Line: L.E.I. Sundresses by Taylor Swift
    Qualifications:The young country singer is releasing a line of frocks this February that her die-hard fans will love and moms can afford. We're sure Swift's brand will expand into denim.

    Celeb: Dita Von Teese
    Fashion Line: Science of Sexy for Wonderbra
    Qualifications: This burlesque bombshell spends most of her time in scanty skivvies, so we're absolutely confident she is capable of creating amazing lingerie! Of her '40s and '50s-inspired line Von Teese says "Underwear isn't just something that you put on for your lover -- you wear it for you."

    Celeb: Lauren Bush
    Fashion Line:Lauren Pierce (hits stores in Spring 2009)
    Qualifications: An alum of both Parsons New School for Design in NYC and Central Saint Martins College in London, first niece and former model Lauren Bush definitely has a solid design foundation. Add to that an internship at Zac Posen, a boyfriend with a designer dad (her main squeeze is Ralph Lauren's son) and the success of the popular FEED bags she designed to benefit the U.N.'s World Food Program, and it looks like Ms. Bush has the chops to make her ready-to-wear sustainable fabrics line a hit.

    Celeb: Eva Mendes
    Fashion Line: Vida for Macy's
    Qualifications: Calvin Klein's latest controversial ad campaigns features a naked Eva Mendes rolling around on a bed, so perhaps her new venture isn't really all that surprising. The actress and her boyfriend, film producer George Augusto, are launching a collection of sheets and comforters. While neither has any design background, we're betting the betting the lovebirds know how to make a cozy nest.

    Celeb: Mischa Barton
    Fashion Line: Mischa Barton for Stacey Lapidus
    Qualifications:The former O.C. star gets more ink these days for her hair accessories than her acting jobs so maybe this is a brilliant career move: She's coming out with a line of headbands made from a wide array of materials including silk, feathers and crystals, ranging in price from $40-$200.

    Celeb: Janet Jackson
    Fashion Line:Pleasure Principle
    Qualifications:Named after her 1987 hit, the fancy pants (and matching bras) will all retail for under $40. "There's something for every woman, and that's very important to us," Jackson says. "I've always hated when lingerie is uncomfortable, so the fit and comfort was key." Nothing nasty about that, Miss Jackson.

    Celeb: Lenny Kravtiz
    Fashion Line: Inspired by Lenny, Worn by You at Kohls
    Qualifications:Hmmm, we're not sure that even Lenny's biggest fans would be inspired to wear this denim, fringe and wings ensemble, but fortunately for those who do want to emulate the the rocker's style, his jeans and t-shirts line for Kohls is a bit more traditional.

    Celeb: Tara Reid
    Fashion Line: Manta
    Qualifications:Sometimes an actress, always a party girl, and now a designer. According to Reid her little triangles of Lycra are more than simple poolside attire, "It's about putting into the universe what you want in life: Red means love, pink is friendship, green is lucky, black is protection. You're gonna have a story when you wear this bikini or when you put this dress on: You'll either get love or meet a new friend or you might meet a guy." Big promises from little bikinis!

    Celeb: Katie Holmes
    Fashion Line: Holmes/Yang for Giorgio Armani
    Qualifications: Mrs. Tom Cruise created her own storm at the LA premiere of "Tropic Thunder," debuting the first piece from her collection with stylist pal Jeanne Yang. But given the dress's sleek lines and navy blue fabric two Giorgio Armani trademarks it's a good bet that Katie got more than a little help from her silver-haired mentor.

    Celeb: La Lohan
    Fashion Line: 6126 Leggings
    Qualifications:Lindsay Lohan's collection owes its name to Marilyn Monroe born on 6/1/26 but it doesn't look like she captured what made the '50s bombshell so sexy. Does the modern American woman really need leopard print "ankle gloves"? Or glimmer leggings? Seems like La Lohan is channeling no one but...Lindsay.

Elle Macpherson's sexy online lingerie catalog

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style



If anyone knows about underwear, it's Elle "the Body" Macpherson. Both lingerie model and mogul, her Intimates line has some of the sexiest bra and panty pairings out there.

Perhaps it's been around for a while, but we just came across the intriguing website for Intimates which features Elle's online "magazine." The current "issue" has provocative photo spreads, like the voyeristic "What the Butler Saw" and "Rear Window" both of which feature faceless figures captured in suggestive poses, and yes, include plenty of shots of behinds, with and without panties. Not to mention the title spread, "In the Boudoir" which relies on some artful blurring that just barely keeps it from being too revealing.

Manolo takes to the web

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes

For years I've enjoyed the shoe-centered bloggy stylings of Manolo the Shoeblogger. Now his inspiration, the one-and-only Manolo Blahnik has launched his own website and promises to update it with his thoughts and information on the latest designs. The site also includes a bio of the designer, a news section and a listing of boutiques. If Manolo blogs with half as much wit and flair the web will be a very shoe-happy place indeed.

Gloss no more?

Filed under: Cosmetics

Is beauty site Gloss.com shutting down? L.A. story reports that the website, which is backed by Estee Lauder and LVMH brands like Clarins, Chanel and Thierry Mugler, will be shutting down in June. The reason seems to be that Gloss just isn't booming enough to make it and the powers that be have decided to concentrate on website for individual brands rather than a site that offers all the brands. Stevie Wilson over at L.A. Story believes that unlike other websites that have shut down, this one won't have a major sell-off sale since those involved can shift their merchandise other places. The site stocks a wide variety of a variety of brands including Bobbi Brown, La Mer, Clarins, Origins and Jo Malone.

Mystery solved by chicSherlock

Filed under: Accessories

Let's be honest, when it comes to buying jewelry, sometimes it's more valuable to know who to ask than to know it yourself.

If you agree with me, you should check out the new website chicSherlock.com. The brainchild of an ex-Vanity Fair editor, chicSherlock is an online boutique that sells the best bling and baubles from well-known designers and a few fresh faces. What I like about this site is that there isn't anything crappy or tacky for sale on the site. It's just good taste, writ large. I guess that just goes to show you, what you know isn't as important as who you know to ask.
