New year, new hair!

Hair guru Ken Paves worked his magic on loyal client Jessica Simpson and gave her a new hair style that is very blonde and very curly.

Jessica Simpson came out of the salon carrying the Louis Vuitton Monogram Leopard Stephen “Boston” handbag that we’ve seen her with before. This bag is from several seasons ago, but I still love it (leopard print!).

So what do you think of J. Simp’s new ‘do?

Kim Kardashian is selling it like the rent is due — reality show, exercise videos, teeth whitening, and now perfume.

Kim Kardashian revealed a toned and trim body in the retro-themed ad campaign for her new perfume. The fragrance is said to have notes of jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, tonka bean, and sandalwood.

If you want to wake up and splash on a little eau de Kardashian, you’ll still have to wait a little while. The perfume will be available exclusively at Sephora in February.

All jokes aside, I really love sandalwood and gardenia based scents, so I’d be willing to give this a try. Will you be buying Kim Kardashian perfume?

Images from the upcoming V Magazine “Size Issue” have been steadily leaking out and I’m almost afraid to look at them anymore lest I ruin it for the January 14 street date.

The “One Size Fits All” shoot featuring Crystal Renn and Jacquelyn Jablonski (see it here) was hot, but I was all agog when I saw these photos highlighting a few lesser-known plus-size models.

Candice Huffine, Tara Lynn, Michelle Olson, Kasia Pilewicz, and Marquita Pring were photographed by Solve Sundsbo in a shoot featuring Guess jeans, Gucci swimwear, and bare skin.

I love that this shoot puts the models in very body-con fashions and they aren’t trying to hide the body parts that make them plus-size models, but are actually putting those thighs, hips, and bellies on full display. So sexy!

I knew I was going to love these photos the minute I saw leopard print.

Actress Emma Watson (aka Hermione in the Harry Potter films) has become quite the fashion plate lately, appearing front row at Burberry and then signing on to appear in the brand’s ad campaigns.

For her second Burberry ad campaign, she shares the spotlight with little brother Alex Watson, and the duo make quite the fashionable pair.

How did I miss this?

While Kanye West got his Cindy Crawford on for A Bathing Ape, his girlfriend, Amber Rose, snuck in a layout for the January 2010 issue of Vibe magazine.

The photo shoot, titled A Splash of Masculinity shows Amber Rose rocking what I can only describe as a tiny blonde ‘wiglet’ and giving the masculine clothes a feminine edge. I think her face looks absolutely gorgeous in the photo above. Her skin glows and I always love a ruby red lip.

You know, I didn’t pay that much attention to them before, but I’m starting to really like Kanye West and Amber Rose together. Individually, they can be a little bit too much, but together, it all makes sense.

Celebs came out for New Year’s Eve ready to dazzle and party their way into 2010. Christina Aguilera showed off her mean shoe game in a pair of Christian Louboutin Calypso shoes in red with a crystal toe.

Mariah Carey wore an silver mini on her bod and husband Nick Cannon on her arm, while Nick went for that Brat Pack, undone-bow-tie look. In Miami, Leighton Meester dared to be bare under a blue, silk tank paired with a sparkly belt and black miniskirt.

But Nicole Richie was my favorite look of the night. I love her with dark hair and her gold minidress and platform stilettos look chic and easy.

Ciroc Vodka, Diddy’s drink of choice and self-proclaimed “Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve”, wants to make sure you live to party another year.

In a partnership with E! Entertainment News and the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, Ciroc Vodka will give away prepaid taxi cards (valued up to $15) and free MTA transit cards to revelers who need a safe ride home.

This is the second year that Ciroc has provided the Safe Rides program and they’ve now expanded the program to New Years Eve revelers in Las Vegas. Party people in Las Vegas can look for cards being distributed by Ciroc brand ambassadors in various venues and high traffic locations.

Team Ciroc is passing those prepaid cards out between 8pm and 11pm while supplies last.

Get one and get home safe!

After the holidays, I’m always a little cash-strapped and I end up scrounging around the back of my closet trying to revive an old dress to wear out to all the New Year’s Eve parties.

But this year, I have the solution: a designer dress from Rent the Runway.

Rent the Runway lets you borrow dresses for a nominal fee starting at $50 and keep the dress up to 8 days. When you’re done, just mail it back. How simple is that?

New Year’s Eve is all about sparkle and shine and Rent the Runway has plenty of sparkly little cocktail numbers. A gorgeous champagne bubble of a dress by Lela Rose can be yours for $150 ($1,595 retail) and a sequined Tracy Reese dress that retails for $495 can be rented for just $50.

It’s not too late to rent your New Year’s Eve dress from Rent the Runway. Shipping only takes 2-3 days and lucky NYC residents can get same day delivery.
