Celebrity “it” actresses like Emma Stone and Christina Hendricks have made red hair the most sought after shade in the industry (neither are natural redheads, though!). If you’re also thinking about taking the hair color plunge, here’s a quick reminder that you can still wear all of the red pieces in your closet:

It’s not the first time we’ve seen Lauren Conrad with ombre nails (this time around they’re blue to match her streaked hair) but now other celebs are also sporting multi-colored nails. Jennifer Hudson and Vanessa Hudgens were spotted switching up their tips, rocking two or more different shades. Have you tried this type of manicure before?

Summer’s easiest hairstyle: the topknot

July 19th // Comment Here

It’s hot. It’s sweaty. Your hair is sticking to your neck. First instinct would be to throw your mane up into a messy bun or casual ponytail, but why? Try something that’s just as easy yet way more chic with this summer’s topknot. Pull hair into a pony, wrap around the base and secure with pins! You can even glam it up, like The Hangover II actress Jamie Chung did when she walked the red carpet with a topknot plus gorge statement earrings.
