After seeing Heidi and Spencer's Halloween shenanigans, I'm thinking that, yes, we will be seeing lots of Jon-and-Kate pairs this Halloween, particularly because that asymmetric blond wig is selling like crazy. Also from popular culture, I'd venture to say that there will be many sparkly Edwards and Bellas (get her exact makeup look here), Mad Men tributes, and even a few zombies, thanks to the success of Zombieland.
Of course, there are always tributes to those who have passed, and perhaps we'll see some Michael Jackson costumes, complete with heavily lined eyes, light red lips, and curly wigs.

Recently, I made my yearly — OK, it's been more than a year — trip to the eye doctor. I've worn glasses for about 14 years now, and from one "trendy" frame to another, I've had lots of different looks. Since some were good, and others I'd prefer to forget, that was the inspiration behind this series of posts on choosing eyeglass frames.

We're used to seeing Evan Rachel Wood with the pretty strawberry-blond hair she wears when playing vampire queen Sophie-Anne LeClerc on True Blood, but the other night at a Gucci flash-store launch, she was showing off this new, sexy auburn shade. We all know Rachel is no stranger to hair dye. Do you remember that last year, she went from blonde to dark brunette?

Throughout the past few days, I've been bringing you witchy how-tos, from Wicked's Elphaba to The Chronicle of Narnia's White Witch, and now let's get in on the Harry Potter action, with everyone's favorite quirky, kind-hearted witch, Luna Lovegood. With lofty physical characteristics, such as silvery-gray-toned eyes, waist-length dirty blond hair, slight brows, and a dreamy look in her eyes, Luna's often perceived as strange — even a bit loony — to those around her.
To get her unique look, wear light contacts, a pink cheek and lip stain, along with one seriously long, slightly disheveled blond wig.

Sexy British trouble maker Danielle Lloyd strutted her newly dark hair on the red carpet last night for the MOBO Awards in Glasgow. She's been playing around quite a bit lately with her hair hues going from platinum blonde to a warm brown shade with highlights, and back to her standard deep brunette colour again. I like her best with a few highlights, but nothing too light as it just looks a bit forced and fake.

Nominated for her role in Saving Grace, Holly Hunter looks every bit the movie star on tonight's red carpet. She wore her hair very long with luscious, curly blond tendrils, showing that she really knows how to make 50 sexy. From a makeup perspective, she kept the look pretty minimal — pink tinted lips, lightly rouged cheeks, barely there shadow — letting her fabulous hair do the talking.

A few things have happened since Tria, the at-home laser hair-removal gadget, came on the market. First, the economy tanked, which may explain why Tria's price went from $995 to $795. Second, I've had almost a year to give it a whirl (full disclosure: Tria's PR team sent a trial unit for me to use).

Since the September cover of Marie Claire popped up, it's become increasingly obvious that the glossy mags weren't kidding when they released their cover choices for the first Fall month — generally the biggest and most important issue of the year. As Fashionologie points out, Vogue, Allure, Elle, W, Glamour, and Marie Claire will all have light-haired cover stars. InStyle, which will feature Jennifer Lopez, seems to be the only exception.

At last night's Inglourious Basterds premiere in LA, there was something different about Angelina Jolie's hair that I couldn't quite figure out. Obviously, she's lightened her locks considerably since her more goth-y days of years past, but after comparing photos from her red carpet appearance at Cannes back in May, it looks as if Angelina's warmed up those famous strands with a little touchup and softer, more-caramel/less-gold toner. While we've seen her in a light wig on the set of Salt earlier this year, and let's not forget her blond bob in Life or Something Like It, this version of a dark, honey-toned blond seems to be working for her, no?
