Celebrity Hair Inspiration for Spring 2015

Spring is in full swing and summer is just around the corner. We are turning to celebrities for the scoop on this season's hottest hair trends with an emphasis on styles that are fun, care-free and easy to manage. Last summer, we highlighted the long bob, and are happy to report that it's still trending this season. Celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Lucy Hale and Emma Roberts are all successfully rocking this look. We especially love how they tuck one side behind the ear, which adds a little edge and  shows off their statement earrings.

Taylor Swift was recently spotted at the iHeartRadio Music Awards with a change to her long bob: thick, choppy bangs with lots of volume. Her awards for the night included Artist of the Year and Song of the Year with "Shake it Off" among others. Taylor's music and looks are adored by fans and this night was proof that she still has it.

We haven't forgotten about the long-haired beauties! For long hair, it's all about long layers and subtle ombre (aka, 'sombre'), illustrated perfectly by Minka Kelly (above). 'Sombre' is taking the trendy ombre hair color and making it more subtle and blended by adding layers to frame the face and brightening the ends with a natural color.

Kenza Zouiten is a great example of how long layers combined with subtle ombre can create a care-free, beautiful style for long hair. Bangs blow-dried away from the face matched with a deep side part can help achieve this look.

Celebrities aren't the only ones loving this hair trend, images of dyed locks have taken Pinterest by storm. Above are just a few of the images that stood out to us. So….what are your thoughts on this wild hair trend? Would YOU dare to go purple? We want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments below.

Editor Obsessions: February

February is the month when we are ready for the cold to be over, and dream of warmer days. That’s probably why most of the products on my February edit are a bit on the colorful side! Here are a few items I’ve got my eye on this month. 1. With the cold, gloomy days that have been lurking, this beach print is sure to brighten up the home.

2. This Crosley record player needs to be on my credenza asap! I adore this color, it's charming and playful all at once.

3. I love this  butter gloss from NYX. It’s a vibrant peachy/ pink color that makes me feel like summer is almost here.

4. I am always updating my desktop wallpaper. Thanks to Design Love Fest I have a ton of FREE options to choose from. I think I will start with these geometric shapes!

5. Lately, I've been on a MAJOR organization kick. These inexpensive Ikea storage boxes have brought much needed order to my bookshelves.

6. This Bumble And Bumble Dry Shampoo is a daily beauty staple of mine. It gives the perfect amount of volume and texture to my hair.

What's on your February must- haves list?! Let us know in the comments below.

The Long Bob: Summer's Ultimate Hair Trend

Looking to kick off summer with a new hairstyle? The long bob aka the "lob" is the perfect summer style that is both chic and low maintenance. The long bob is a style that is incredibly versatile. Here are five different ways to style this look modeled by some of our favorite celebs.

The messy beach wave look is one of the more popular ways to style the long bob. Jessica Alba looks fabulous in this hairstyle. This is a look that could be worn with a casual outfit during the day and easily transformed into a classy evening look.

          

Strapped for time? Wear the long bob straight. It still looks amazing and gives you a whole new look.

Ombre on its own is gorgeous, but pair it with a long bob and you have perfection. Kate Mara nailed it with this blonde ombre bob.

An asymmetrical long bob looks smart and sophisticated on Charlize Theron.

The long bob is an attainable look that is not just for the stars. It's a laid back, versatile look that is perfect for transitioning from a long hairstyle to a moderately short one. Will you take the plunge this summer and go for the "lob"?! Let us know in the comments below!

Happy Styling,
