5 Stars Go From Dark Hair To Blond Hair This Fall

So have you heard the last one about Johnny Depp? Johnny Depp has blond hair now! I may have been under the weather recently due to a nasty stomach flu (last night it was the first night sans throwing up or whatnot in the last 5 days!) but coming back to my internet senses also meant a lot of surprises. Johnny Depp made a very unexpected change of look by dying his hair blond and introduced his new look to the world while presenting Christopher Lee with the British Film Institute fellowship award last night.

It may be a case of bonding or blending into couple’s character like we’ve seen others do before him (Brad Pitt anyone?) or simply just another role demanding few adjustments. We’ll find out soon enough, I guess. But let’s take a step back and see who else is getting blond hair this fall:

Do you ever question yourself if Converse will still be your next pair of sneakers? I do. A lot. But that’s part of a larger story I will develop these days. For now, I’ll just concentrate on the new shoes in fashion town: slip on sneakers.

Fashion has a strange way of rewarding its most faithful followers. Walking endless miles between fashion show venues or just trying to look relaxed for fashrazzi pictures in towering high heels can be extremely painful for one’s feet (and back). But you already know that, don’t you? Naturally, a nice pair of sneakers would be just as appealing as a gigantic bowl of Haagen Dazs for the severe dieter. Since everyone makes sneakers nowadays: from Christian Louboutin to H&M, there are so many options!

Options with 4 or 3 figure-price tags now feel normal as we see fashion messing up with both the physical and the moral aspects of the comfort offered by a pair of sneakers. Say you have around $250 and you’d love to upgrade from your usual all stars to a more stylish pair of sneakers. What should you choose?

We’re all unique, but isn’t there’s something really awkward about meeting someone who’s wearing the exact same thing you do? I somewhat do… and I can only imagine a fraction of that awkwardness when famous people are involved! The pressure of being famous and unique must weigh down on stylists’ shoulders!

But I wouldn’t thought that could happen to Kimmy – her being styled by Kanye West and all.. There she goes, wearing the exact same gown as Jennifer Hudson, although the dresses look sensitively different! While I’m certain that Jennifer has a stylist to advise her, I wonder what happened to Kim Kardashian who was under Kanye’s protective yet weird fashion wing. Oh, wait, I think I know – earlier, when I mentioned the Nike Yeezy 2, I remember reading that Kanye is busy rehearsing for his next tour. So maybe Kimmy was forced to use someone else’s style vision?

The dress itself is utterly feminine and classic at the same time and I prefer Jennifer over Kim if I were to choose just one look. But as I’ve said before, Kim and her newly enhanced curves have a legion of faithful admirers and although I keep wondering if other clothing options weren’t available to keep things more wrapped, I understand some watchers’ desire to admire.

We’re already half through October, the month of Breast Cancer Awareness. The official color designated for the cause is – which other? – pink. As Angelina Jolie started an incredible buzz when she confessed publicly to her double mastectomy, I feel there’s definitely need to spread the word even more, to try and reach out to those in need of more information, of more support to detect and intervene in the earliest stages of the disease.

As such, I decided to write about the cause and try to do my part in this story. As do others. Because I care and because I think we should all care. But I try to look at things from a positive perspective: I have family history, thus I’m biased in my approach. I have a loving family and this helps me in thinking ‘pink’. And I’m not the only one! Pink pops up everywhere around us and here’s just a handful of some surprising pink finds to honor the Breast Cancer Awareness cause:

You know what they say about proper dancing? That you should dance like nobody’s watching? I often wonder how celebrities feel about dancing… with the entire world watching! But today I got some answers…

(have you seen Gravity yet? I would love to share some thoughts about that movie, should anyone feel like commenting on the matter!) Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks were guests in The Jonathan Ross Show and were challenged to play Chopsticks on a giant floor piano! While Tom Hanks was really excited and jumpy about the entire thing, Sandra Bullock really defied the world in a towering pair of Christian Louboutin shoes (which happen to look exactly like Louboutin’s Bana Vernis platforms featuring a 55inch heel and retailing for $780 at current exchange rate). I will forever cherish her line ‘…oh! I can do Chopsticks in my heels!’ check her out after the jump, she’s amazing! Nah, actually they both are!

Are you a complete nail nerd? Are you a complete Mariah fan? Would you like to dress up your nails for winter? Yes, already! Because it seems that O.P.I. has planned something really special in collaboration with Mariah Carey: a holiday nail polish collection!

But the star of the new lacquer set is Mariah Pure. A very rich silver leaf top coat with real 18k White Gold. The special bottle comes with a special box and a lot of buzz, just like OPI’s Man with the Golden Gun, the special top coat edition for the latest Bond movie. That one had real 18k gold in it.

A total of 18 nail polishes for the Mariah Carey OPI collection are available for your delight and although 6 of them are ‘liquid sand’, the new gritty sparkly formula everyone loves, Pure will certainly be the star of the new launch. As for the retail price – OPI’s Skyfall limited edition gold topcoat was released least year with a $30 price. Months later, should you still find it, you can expect to pay double ($60) for a 15ml – 0.5 OZ polish bottle and I’m certain the same will happen to Pure’s price tag as well. So make up your mind pretty fast as Pure was already released and is now available for purchase.

It’s a good day for Vogue covers. And generally, it’s a good day for bright threesomes. Wink. Not the type you’d expect, though, as I already tried to surprise you earlier with a set of three gadgets you might not have seen coming for the upcoming Holiday season. Now I’d like to take this opportunity and insert a reasonable doubt that maybe, just maybe, the grand Vogue US and UK respectively, may be slightly old fashioned?

Sure, they go with certified values (Sandra Bullock and Claire Danes for the latest covers we discussed) but a quick look at the following three Vogue international covers is enough to declare them uber fashionable and very stylish.

Great models, great fashion, great photographers, great results. The least we can do is acknowledge these three great covers and sigh with admiration.

If you know who’s been naughty or nice, better have them bank accounts ready to go! The Holiday Season is upon us in a matter of days: do you have your gift list ready? Not meaning to impose or anything, but I thought you should know about some of the most expensive finds I came across recently. Just in case you want to pay thousand times more on accessories or gadgets you wouldn’t have thought can cost so much!

I know how it sounds, but some people do value ‘undecover’ items, small fortunes disguised in every day objects! So let’s roll up our sleeves, peel our eyes and prepare to be amazed! Starting with no. {3} and moving onward towards the mind blowing! (hit the jump to see them all!)
