ElleGirl- 2011 was a great year for outrageous hue highlights with celebrities like Dianna Agron, Sienna Miller, and Lauren Conrad experimenting with bright pinks in their hair. The trend—which we love—has carried over into 2012, with Dakota Fanning and others adding bursts of bright color to their locks. Want the look? Check out our stellar DIY and see how the stars are working candy colored hues below!

Dakota Fanning told ELLE UK that “you can’t worry about what other people think, especially if you’re a known person.” The teen fashion icon and college freshman started rocking pink tips last week and even if she doesn’t care what we think, we love it.

News In a recent photo shoot for Adidas, Katy Perry showed off her new bright blue bob. Known for going bold with a full head of bright hues, the singer’s been rocking the cotton candy color since she began making huge hit singles.

Snooki celebrated New Year’s Eve with a deep shade of pink in her long locks, and has kept the look for 2012. While we’re used to the “reality star” going too far with looks—bronzer overload, anyone?—we love the not so subtle streaks.

Lauren Conrad is renown for changing up her hair mid-breakup but this week’s pink—she uploaded a pic of her newly dyed hair on Twitter—comes with zero baggage.

X-Factor finalist Amelia Lily picked a pastel shade over neon when picking out a pink. Her look is reminiscent of Katy Perry’s signature shade before the pop star switched over to blue.

- If there’s one thing we took away from Pitti Uomo, the annual mega menswear trade show in Florence, it’s that Italian boys know how to dress. Usually it’s the girls who are the more fashion-forward ones in relationships, but these guys put the ladies’ outfits to shame, hitting the streets in bold colors, rolled up cuffs, daring prints (camouflage!), and tailored blazers. Most of the designer duds from the show itself won’t hit the shelves for months, but in the meantime, you can learn a thing or two from all of the fashionable male attendees. To help your beau get an equally stylish look, here are some takeaway fashion tips straight from Italy (just in time for Men’s Fashion Week!)
1. Tailored blazers

A tight-fitted blazer can either be worn as a separate or with matching pants (as this sickeningly handsome Italian man did). This double-breasted jacket is a classic piece that will be “in stile” for years. Feel free to coordinate with a colorful scarf.
2. Camouflage

his guy’s not blending in anywhere with this flashy camo print. Skilled in the art of layering, he chose to wear the print over a tweed blazer and underneath a chunky sweater. He tied the look together with a pale blue oxford shirt—an ensemble fit for any adventure.
3. Plaid

Plaid was a hot pattern at Pitti: coats, shirts, ties—you name it. This gentleman wore a crisp green coat with a simple plaid pattern and a contrasting collar. This handsome plaid piece will look great over dress shirts and suits.
4. Bold colors

Look, it’s the Italian Chuck Bass! One great part about Pitti is that the guys weren’t afraid to show some color. A bold-colored pant, blazer, or tie will add some Italian flair to your boyfriend’s look.
5. Layers, layers, layers

When it doubt, layer it up! Layers are great for the cold-weather months—when you get indoors, you can simply shed a piece. This guy shows off his layering skills with a double set of collared shirts worn under a double-breasted cable-knit sweater—a wardrobe staple that will instantly update your look.
6. Pops of color

You have to applaud this dude’s subtle use of color in his outfit: the tie, the hanging scarf, the socks, and the shoes. Deep, rich colors like orange, yellow, and blue will make your man a classy standout on the street.
7. Casual cool

Even though in our dream world all boys would dress in jackets and ties, that’s just not reality. But worry not—your boyfriend can still look trendy in a lightweight T-shirt, slim-fit pants, brogues, and a navy coat.
8. Rolled-up cuffs

Rolled-up cuffs were seen on countless ankles at Pitti, and we’re totally on board with the look. Just make sure your boyfriend cuffs his pants over the ankle, leaving room to show off some skin (or some colorful socks!)
9. Canvas sacks

This colorful canvas sack transforms an everyday item and makes it stylish. Just think how much cooler your boyfriend will look toting this around in the hallways instead of a ratty old North Face.

In Mango’s case, the photographer’s the constant and the face is ever changing. The Spanish store has tapped Kate Moss for her first big post-marriage campaign. A spokesperson for the brand said they wanted Moss based on the response to the commercial she shot with Terry Richardson for their fall runway show. “Given its success, we decided to use Kate Moss as our brand image,” she told WWD, making them the only brand in need of proof of Moss’ appeal. They also mention Moss’ “turbulent past,” and that Mango’s not worried about her hard partying ways given her “recent” foray into marriage and motherhood. Of course, Moss has been a mom for almost ten years, but there’s really no bad reason for booking the supermodel and hey, Lila Grace would probably love a sibling.

Only Céline, the brand that has, in just two years, had a ripple effect on style across the globe, could get away with canceling its Paris runway show at such a young age and still be the most exciting collection in Europe. LVMH announced today that staging a show next month is out of the question; designer Phoebe Philo is pregnant with her third child. The compnay’s CEO told WWD, “A runway show is a very demanding and personal engagement for a creative director. The objective is to simplify.” Instead, they’ll stage a presentation somewhere in Paris during their time slot (March 4, 1PM). We’re guessing this means a bash in honor of Céline’s new Madison Avenue store, opening within a month, is absolutely out of the question.

The 2012 Academy Awards take place on February 26. The Oscar nominations are here! Martin Scorcese’s three hour long Hugo leads the pack with 11 nominations and The Artist, with 10, is a close second. Brad Pitt won his first producer nomination, for Moneyball (as well as an acting nod) and George Clooney scored his first writing nod, for Ides of March (his acting nomination is for The Descendants). Meryl Streep is nominated for the 17th time; she’ll compete against Michelle Williams, Viola Davis, Rooney Mara and Glenn Close for Best Actress. Bridesmaids scored two Oscar nominations: a Best Supporting Actress nod for Melissa McCarthy and Best Original Screenplay for Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo. As for the men, Demián Bichir (A Better Life), The Artist‘s Jean Dujardin and Gary Oldman, for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (the first nomination for each of them), join Clooney and Pitt in the Best Actor category. And lastly, nine films have been nominated for Best Picture: The Artist, The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and War Horse. The film most obviously missing from any category is We Need to Talk About Kevin; Tilda Swinton scored a Golden Globe nod and was considered a serious contender for the Oscar, too. The red carpet’s already looking a bit more dull in her absence.

Karlie Kloss at Dior. Photo: Getty ImagesMonday, January 23rd8:30 – Wake up call!9:14 – Dressed and ready in almost head-to-toe Prada…boots by Lanvin, Chloé coat day.9:18 – Quick espresso before heading to see the first collection of the day: Versace. 10:30 – Arrive at École des Beaux-Arts at10:30 sharp as instructed, but they are not letting editors in yet. Models are still practicing and photographers are getting their shots.10:48 – Photographers are ushered out and we are ushered in.10:49 – Gold staircase/platform and no seating. Roughly 75 editors (max) are allowed to gather around the foot of the golden stairs.10:56 – Diane Kruger, Cameron Diaz and Abbie Cornish emerge from backstage and take their places standing amongst the crowd of editors. Loving Cameron’s super sleek and cropped new bob!
Photo: Getty Images 10:59 – The impossibly tall Karlie Kloss begins to climb up the pyramid of stairs, poses at the top, and then slinks down the side facing editors.11:14 – What began with a flow of smooth and languid iridescent dove grey looks, ends in a rush of lemon yellows, sour limes, and juicy tangerine tones. Looks are trimmed in super shiny sculpted metal to underline the seaming and shape. Looks like there is not one, but several Oscar worthy contenders! A limey one-shouldered sequin number would be my pick for Cameron as it was shown on equally sporty Carmen—and would look stunning with Cameron’s new white blonde bob.11:16 – Editors shuffle out to awaiting street style photogs on the Quai. I decide to dash down one block to the Dries Van Noten boutique.11:19 – Realize that I am clearly not the only one who had this idea, as I peruse the new spring collection in between several E-I-C’s.11:45 – I make it out of the Dries store with only an additional pair of sunglasses. Phew!
Joann's new glasses!12:03 – Walking back to the hotel I pause momentarily on one of the bridges as I cross over the Seine. Being here in Paris never gets old.12:30 – Meet a friend for lunch at Ladurée’s original Rue Royale location (of course). The Salade Concorde might be the best salad created. Ever.13:31 – Wave goodbye and catch a taxi over to Karla Otto’s Parisian headquarters. I’m headed there to see Marni’s pre-fall collection (it never made it to NYC).13:47 – Ogle the adorably quirky mix of plaid and prints and brocades. They tell me that collection is supposed to feel a bit rebellious in spirit. Love. (The coat before is my favorite!) I found some adorable jewelry too, which, if they can rush us the high res images can be squeezed into April’s upcoming jewelry guide just in the nick of time.
From Marni's pre-fall collection.14:18 – Next it’s over to Avenue Montaigne where the Christian Dior show is being held (instead of its regular musée Rodin location), which is nice as it appears it will be set up in an intimate salon style approach.14:41 – Front row includes Bar Rafaeli, Olympia Scarry, Caroline Sieber, Olivia Palermo, Gaia Repossi, Natalia Vodianova, Elettra Wiedemann and a very busy Cameron Diaz. Somebody’s on a mission!14:50 – Lights up, music starts, first model out: Karlie Kloss. If I tweeted it would read something like #whatsnew #officiallyasupermodel #soskinny14:51 – Songstress-of-the-moment Lana Del Rey is going to be setting the mood for this show. Cue “Video Games.”14:55 – Girl after girl trots past so close that sometimes their dress brush across your knees. That’s about as front row as it gets.
Dior's ladylike front row. Photo: Getty Images 15:03 – The palette is mostly black, white, sedate purple and a range of corals to fiery red. The silouette is classic Dior: full skirts with a 50′s vibe. A few pieces are embroidered with quotations about “Elegance” that you can almost read as the girls pass by. Loving the purple nail color on all of the models’ fingers and toes. Mental note: run out and buy Dior Vernis, Shadow 783.

Michael Kors fall 2011, ImaxtreeUnless you live on the West Coast, you know about seasons. And when seasons change, so must our skincare regimen. The weather and its elements affect our skin so much that if you reach for the same products all year long, you’re doing your skin a disservice. It’s something we’re trying to be better at, too. We recently chatted with top NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas about the most common winter skincare mistakes we make, and what we can do protect our skin during the most severe inclement weather. And below, check out our favorite go-to products we stock up on when Old Man Winter settles in.ELLEgirl: What are the definite Don’ts of skincare during the cold season every gal must know?Dr. Anne Chapas: Skipping moisturizer. Not wearing sunscreen because it’s not “summer.” Using gels that dry out instead of moisturizing lotions and creams. Using abrasive soaps. Taking long, hot showers.ELLEgirl: Does winter skincare differ from skin type to skin type?Dr. Chapas: Yes and no. Everyone’s skin is drier in the winter. However, if someone is oily to start with, she might be more normal in the winter months, whereas a person with normal skin type may be dry in the winter months.ELLEgirl: What are the top products every girl should be using on her skin?Dr. Chapas: Two things: a mild cleanser and a moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher, anti-oxidants, and Retinol.ELLEgirl: Is there a specific product that we shouldn’t spend our money on? Why?Dr. Chapas: Anything with fancy packaging. Save your money for things that have been scientifically proven to improve the health and appearance of the skin, not something that looks pretty on the shelf.ELLEgirl: Should our AM and PM skincare routines be different? If so, in what ways?Dr. Chapas: In the morning, use a moisturizer with sunscreen. At night, apply retinol/Retin A, since these are inactivated by sunlight.ELLEgirl: If a girl has 10 minutes in the morning to get ready, what skin regimen would you recommend?Dr. Chapas: Use a mild cleanser with an exfoliating brush, and cover up with a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen.ELLEgirl: Does keeping a humidifier in our bedrooms really make a huge difference?Dr. Chapas: Yes! Especially in the winter.ELLEgirl: What’s the best way to prevent and control breakouts during the winter season?Dr. Chapas: Always remove make-up—no exceptions! Use a water-based moisturizer after Retinol at night.ELLEgirl: How do you know for sure that a product’s not working/not best for your skin type? Dr. Chapas: If your skin is dry, red, or irritated, you need to make a change. Top Products for Winter Skincare

Photo: Terry Richardson for Jimmy ChooJamie Bochert’s one of the few (if only?) models to so publicly declare her disdain for the fashion industry and yet continue to book major jobs. She’s long been a muse for Marc Jacobs, and appeared in Lanvin’s fall campaign last year, but could her turn for Jimmy Choo mark a more commercial path? Bochert stars with Magdalena Frackowiak in the luxury shoe brand’s spring campaign, photographed by Terry Richardson. The two play rivals, according to WWD, though they don’t appear to be arguing over much more than a handbag. The shoot was inspired by Justine, the 1969 film set in the Mediterranean, though Richardson shot the photos in New York. It’s the first campaign since the resignation of president Tamara Mellon, though the aesthetic still suits her. As for the fight, our money’s on Jamie.

- According to The Wall Street Journal, the newest trend taking over high schools wasn’t plucked off of runways or out of glossy fashion magazines. What’s “cool” right now are…pajamas. Baggy pajama bottoms, fuzzy slippers, or cozy over-sized hoodies to be precise. The pajamas-in-school trend has gotten so big that the overall sales of “activewear” clothing has tripled in the past compared to overall clothing sales, according to a NPD, a market research group. That means flannels and yoga pants are flying off the shelves, leaving jeans and dresses in the dust. Despite the fact that many adults are calling the trend “sloppy” and “lazy,” the look isn’t a fresh out of bed free for all. Footie pajamas, for one, are not welcome. The “loungewear” trend calls for pairing one large, comfy piece of clothing with a tighter, more flattering item. That means roomy flannel pajama bottoms with camisoles or long-sleeve tees, or leggings with a cozy hoodie. Clothing stores like Abercrombie and Fitch and American Eagle have hopped on the pajama train and are featuring sweatpants heavily, both in stores and online. If you fee like putting some effort into this effortless look, you can check out our shopping guide below. No need to stress though: people will probably be unable to tell the difference between the PJs you’ve had since middle school and a new, expensive A&F pair.

- Campaign season is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do we get to experience the best of spring 2012 fashion week all over again, but if we’re going to be totally honest, we’d rather see models at a candy-colored tea party or hovering above the ocean than walking on a runway. In the spirit of spreading the love, we’ve rounded up our favorite spring ad campaigns. Check out our list and leave a comment to let us know if we left anyone out!
Photo: Courtesy of Louis VuittonLouis Vuitton We stopped attending tea parties around the time we stopped talking to our stuffed animals but the candy-coated LV spring campaign made us want to break out our tea sets and send out some hand written invitations.
Photo: Courtesy of PhilipPlein Philip Plein We love a comeback story and we rue the day when a Mean Girls reference doesn’t have a place in every possible conversation. That’s why we love Philip Plein’s spring ads, featuring the good-girl-gone-bad-gone-to-jail Lindsay Lohan.
Photo: Courtesy of Miu MiuMiu Miu Even though they gave Hailee Steinfeld the boot after feeling the heat from critics who didn’t think a 15-year old should be representing a brand most 15-year olds can’t afford, we’re still fans of Miu Miu’s colorful, portrait-esque spring ads featuring Mia Wasikowska.
Photo: Courtesy of ChanelChanel Chanel’s spring ad campaign proves that models do work hard. Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls performed gymnastics moves over the ocean for some breathtaking shots. We weren’t the only ones who were impressed. Fashionista posted a behind-the-scenes video, showing how the acrobatic editorial was made.
Photo: Courtesy of VersaceVersace Versace’s spring collection has strong oceanic currents in all the pieces so we were pumped too see the somewhat literal interpretation in their blue-tinted spring ad campaign. The editorial shots featured Giselle Bundchen poolside as well as in the water.
Photo: Courtesy of Hervé LégerHervé Léger In Hervé Léger’s spring campaign, Fatima Siad proves that you don’t need to win America’s Next Top Model to become one of America’s next top models. We’re absolutely loving how fierce the third-place finalist of Cycle 10 looks in the minimalistic, highly stylized ads.
Photo: Courtesy of Oscar de la RentaOscar de la Renta New blogger Karlie Kloss was the only source of color in a black and white world in this mind-bending spring campaign. With a constantly shifting maze of a floor and larger-than-life doorways, we were getting major Alice and Wonderland vibes.
Photo: Courtesy of Roberto CavalliRoberto Cavalli Cavalli featured supermodel legends Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Kristen McMenamy, along with 16-year-old newcomer Daphne Groeneveld in their spring ad campaign. We loved the high level of glam and high level of skill in these posh spreads.
