I know this trend is so three years ago, but I didn’t have a hair blog then, so I’m writing about it now. Plus I still think it’s awesome.

Remember a few years ago when Louis Vuitton sent girls down the runway in huge glamorous bunny ears? It was such a daring and show stopping look. I have to admit, the whimsical, dress up loving girl in me adores it. I’ve always been a fairy tale lover, and huge bunny ears just so happen to align with that love perfectly.

To be honest, I don’t think accessorizing with animal ears is all that strange. I mean, if you think about it, what made wearing bows or flowers or feathers in our hair so normal? I would guess that a lot of people might stare if you are wearing bunny ears, but who decides what becomes normal (feathers, flowers, beads) and what is kept for just theme park going children?

I have a veiled pair similar to the second image. Would you wear bunny ears? For dress up, going out or even just to the supermarket for kicks?

For a subtler version, sometimes I tie my American Apparel scarf like pointy ears!

Right on the heels of this post about my love for Iris Apfel, I got an email from a reader telling me about this new film about stylist elderly women…and Iris is one of them! I can’t wait to see it this summer. Also, I see that red haired lady with the mega eyelashes all the time in the West Village. I’m so excited. Check out the trailer below!

Did you watch the Golden Globes last night? I did an impromptu live discussion on my facebook page of the show and it was so fun! I think now that it’s award season, I’ll have to do it more!

I have to say, I was very impressed with the women last night. The gowns, the make up, the hair. I wish I could say the same for the men. They were all way too tan. Oh well, they can’t all be as suave as Leonardo DiCaprio I guess.

Alright, here are my favorite looks of the night!

The cut and color of Reese’s dress are perfect. The blood red looked great against her skin and hair. Normally, I would prefer a slicked pony with a structured gown like this, but she looked fresh and beautiful as she was. I couldnt find a photo of her without her hands on her waist, which was a shame because she was a hippy goddess in that red number, and her hands took away from that.

Img

Kate Beckinsale’s gown was such a great color on her. I loved the sharp neckline and her updo was the perfect choice.

Nicole Richie walked onto the red carpet with straight up dinosaur hair, and I was feeling it. You know she had 20lbs of hair extensions in there, and it was beautiful. I want to recreate this look with some wave. Hot!

Img

Zooey Deschanel killed it. She looked so cool out there with her one of a kind Prada gown and her retro hair. I couldn’t find a great profile shot, but she had some kind of sideburn chops that completed the look. I think she may have been wearing a wig, because her hair is normally a lot longer, and I doubt she cut it.

I always love Michelle Williams, but it wasn’t until she walked up onstage to accept her award that I saw how subtly slinky she looked in this gown. She could not be cooler. Showing hardly any skin and almost no jewelry, and she still looks gorgeous. Also, her speech about being a mom had me tearing up. She’s a lady. Oh yeah, and I loved that she brought her best friends Busy as her date.

Claire Danes and Emily Blunt tied for first as my favorite gowns. I could not find a photo of Emily’s gown anywhere though! They both chose dresses that looked perfect with their hair color.

I’ve realized that my favorite gowns are usually sleeveless. I don’t like strapless on me, so I think I naturally lean towards a little fabric up top. There were so many hits on the red carpet, I could have gone on and on. Felicity Huffman? Tilda Swinton? Laura Dern? They all looked awesome. Who am I missing?

I was recently introduced (well, my ears were) to Lana Del Rey by my friend Amanda Blair (you guys know her!)

Before I knew she had a pretty face and beautiful hair, I met her voice. She can sing so beautifully that all you can do is listen. I’ve been listening to her for about a month now, and have started to become interested in who this girl actually is. So, yes, she has amazing hair and a gorgeous face (and dude, pouty mouth!)…also, she calls herself a “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” which is important to me because These Boots Were Made For Walkin’ was the first song I ever memorized….But her flowery head pieces are the thing about her. They make me scream out loud and I want one in every color. And I want them to be made out of real flowers like hers.

See below.

I’m always a little sad to find out that some musicians come from a lot of money. It seems like an unfair advantage in the art world. To me, musicians (or any artist) are supposed to struggle in the beginning, it makes their music more authentic. Lana came from millionaire parents who found the right people to create an image for her (her real name is elizabeth grant) including a good plastic surgeon, but at least the girl really can sing. It’s just a little weird to find out that someone who seems so mysterious and interesting is kind of a fake. Despite all the controversy over her, her music is worth checking out. Give Video Games and Blue Jeans a listen!

Also, it’s pretty safe to say that I’m basically in love with floral head pieces. I think I like the top one the best.

Vanessa Paradis plays Adele in The Girl On The Bridge. It’s a french black and white film about an unlucky young girl who at her wits end, decides to jump off a bridge, but is saved by an aspiring knife thrower. He convinces her to join him in the circus as his target. It’s a charming little film, and the hair is beautiful.

Adele starts out with a mid-length bob. It’s perfect with perfect little pixie bangs (that I’m tempted to try). After joining the circus, she chops it into a dramatic pixie, that she wears in finger waves on stage.

Sweet pin curls!

The movie is awesome and you should see it! It’s definitely a netflix must if you like foreign films.

PS Vanessa Paradis is Johnny Depps life partner!

Elle Fanning on the cover of LOVE magazine takes my breath away, pure and simple. The fuzzy waves and the random little white ribbon is just so pretty. I have been loving this cover for the last few months, and recently when I got my W in the mail with Elle and Dakota on it together I had a new Elle Fanning magazine cover to love. Both covers are styled (both clothes and hair/make up) and shot so well.

Do the Olsens ever experience a style/hair swing and a miss*? I don’t think so. Both of these styles (dresses and hair) are breath-taking. These would be amazing for so many occasions….all fuzzy and romantic in a good way.

Jeal’.

*They probably do.
