CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: THE CURE FOR HER COMEBACK?First off, let's start with a little game of guess who, shall we? Is this billionaire twin fashionista Mary Kate Olsen? Nope. Tanorexic stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe? Try again. It's Ashlee Simpson silly, and man she really wants to be an Olsen, doesn't she! Spotted shopping on (where else?) Robertson Blvd. in Hollywood on November 18, it appears that Simpson might be taking baby steps to return to her previous rocker image. In a black scarf and True Religion jeans, Ashlee was also rockin' Tom Ford's new pair of Whitney sunglasses with a beat up old pair of Chuck Taylors. And we all know that Converse are the official sneaker of the punk rocker, so does this mean Ashlee will return to her (faux) punk roots? Maybe, maybe not, but a musical comeback is definitely in Ash's near future. At the final performance of her role as Roxy Hart in Chicago, music legend Robert Smith of the Cure was in attendance, and Ashlee could barely contain herself. She says that "to work with Robert Smith would be an honor!," flirting with the idea that the two would be collaborating on a future record. Just make sure that Robert has actually agreed to work with you Ash, before you tell everyone that he is! |

STYLE TIP: PLAYING THE PARTMarcia Brady never looked so good, or at least her hair hasn't. It seems the straight and narrow 70's throwback coif sported by the Olsen twins and actress-turned-fashion-muse Chloe Sevigny has finally hit the runway again. Designers have taken note or absorbed the paparazzi-dodging locks of some of Hollywood's biggest trendsetters and sent their models a'tromping in straight locks. Linear, sleek, clean and long describe both the new hairstyle of the moment and this season's freshest fashion trends, perhaps the reason long locks and exclamation point silhouettes look so delectable together. Not to mention, after the layers-amuck-1990's, a blunt cut is surprisingly refreshing. The Spring 2007 collections of Chloe, Derek Lam, Thakoon, Luella and others included the ultra-simple part. Somewhat aloof, a bit introspective, definitely cool and naturally beautiful, a straight part adds a bit of come-as-you-are attitude a'la Kurt Cobain. Whichever decade you choose to represent, from the 70's to Grunge, the straight part is as easy as drawing the line. |
