Celebrities often change their hair color for the roles they play on film or simply because they feel like it! Some of them set a trend on the first try, but for other celebs it makes you wonder if they had consulted a stylist before rockin’ the dye! Coloring your hair is a way of self-expression and at the same time it can leave a lasting impression. As a guy I had my hair colored once for a fashion show but was not a big fan of it because it wasn’t me. I personally like my “natural black with some salt & pepper look” and will leave the coloring to women who do it best. Got any favorite celebrity hair color & styles? Checkout Total Beauty showcasing the Best and Worst Celebrity Hair Color Photos and tell us which of the women celebrities color their hair the best! Is it Rihanna? Kat Von D? Lindsay Lohan?

What’s the perfect accessory that goes with all of your gladiator sandals this summer? Color, color, color on your toes! And even more color on your finger tips! Essie has launched its summer collection and I am loving all of the bold and delicious bright neon color!The summer calls for bright colored dresses and even brighter toes. The new Essie Neon Collection will rock your summer with color and attitude.
With names like Bermuda Shorts, Short Shorts, Mini Shorts, and Shorty Pants… your toes will definitely get the attention they deserve. I also love these colors for your nails. Bermuda Shorts is my favorite! I love the depth of the purple and it’s the pop of color I need for all of my summer wardrobe.
Get creative with your nails, that old pink and white French is so last year, try to add your own flavor by mixing and matching your faves. I love Short Shorts as a base color all over the nail and use the Short Pants yellow as your line at the end for the hottest new French manicure of the season!
Just have fun, your nails are an accessory to your outfit and moods so let your individual style shine through. Enjoy!

The summer is here and the sun is stronger than ever! Not to worry, hats are making a huge comeback this season and the trend is the bigger the better. I think Samantha on Sex and the City proves it in her huge woven sun hat on her deck she used to cover her face while checking out her gorgeous neighbor.
Hats are your summer accessory must have, but are a totally personal choice to how you want to show off your style. Here are some of our favorites that help give you some ideas.
The Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat comes in black or white trim and you can find it at Bergdorf Goodman. It is absolutely fabulous and extremely durable, this will last all season into next!
The Juicy Couture Visor is so cute and can be worn with just about anything! You will definitely be the cutest girl out on the golf course with this sassy pink hat. Remember, hats are very personal, so style it up the way you want to show off.
Don’t forget about the summer must have! The Fedora Hat! All the celebs are sporting this one on set, off set, shopping, whatever! It is such a great way to cover up a bad hair day!


…and with Indiana Jones being all the rage among the guys, a fedora for him isn’t a bad idea at all!
