Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider
The bob is definitely gaining popularity, as we've already seen with my bitch Nix, and now with two newer mannequins, Noreen Carmody at NYM (source: Raddest Right Now), and Margaret at Vision (source: COACD). It's versatile, chic, and it just seems right for this moment in fashion, especially with all the '20s influences this season.

Toxic Girl
Other SS07 shows featured intense, dramatic eyes, and hair swept up from the face.
The curled updos and black eyeliner at Yves Saint Laurent were dramatic and ladylike, in an almost slutty sort of way.
Dries Van Noten's thickly winged eyeliner and sporty headbands were sleek, bold, and modern.
Narciso Rodriguez also featured winged eyeliner and black headbands, but the eyes at this show were metallic and lighter, giving the look an '80s vibe.
The cat-eye makeup and low side ponytails at Behnaz Sarafpour were the epitome of beatnik chic (that is, if beatniks actually dressed like how we stereotype them).
Rodarte had interestingly winged, inverted eyeliner, which added a new dimension of interest against the otherwise bare faces and nondescript messy buns.

Little Girl
For spring/summer makeup and hair trends, the softly pretty, slightly (or maybe a little more than slightly) whimsical look is always in.
The soft metallic eyes at Chanel, combined with a rosy, natural lip and a soft, low ponytail were the perfect combination of innocence and flash.
The full peach pouts and slightly glittery taupe eyeshadow at Derek Lam looked dainty and healthy.
Louis Vuitton's natural lips, silver eyeshadow, and extensive, floral hair frippery made for pretty frivolity.
The mix of big bouffants, a little eyeliner, and both blush and lipgloss of a rosy hue meant '50s-style wholesomeness at Oscar de la Renta.

Generosity? Part III
As I continue my gift search, I've come across:
GoSmile's mini toothpastes, which come in adorable tubes, with interesting flavors like Ginger Cookie and Peppermint Candy. They're a cute and practical gift, perfect as a stocking stuffer. $9 for two, at Sephora.
Bliss' Lemon and Sage Scrubs Deluxe kit is a great item for any bath and beauty junkie. I know, from personal experience, that scrubs from Bliss are some of the best on the market, and the lemon sage scent is refreshing and pretty. This kit includes body scrub, body butter, hand cream, and an exfoliating scrub brush. It's $48 at Sephora.
Fresh has wonderful, light, and unique perfumes and fragrances that are perfect for anyone on your list. Their Lemon Sugar perfume is perfect for a younger girly girl, while Cannabis Santal is a rich, captivating, yet still light fragrance that can be worn by both your best friend or your boyfriend. Get them at Sephora.
Demeter's fragrances are also great, and quite cheap. They have every scent imaginable, from Thunderstorm (yes, it really smells like a thunderstorm!) to Dirt (which kind of smells like dirt). Their "Pick-Me-Up Sprays" are around $18 and available at Demeter Fragrance.com.
Moving away from beauty products, Candela's knit beret is something that is both luxurious and useful. Although it seems a little pricey, it's well made, classic, and will probably be used for years to come. $105 at Girlshop.
Another good stocking stuffer is APC's graphic pins. They provide classic APC charm, but for much less money. Due to their website being flash, I can't post pictures, but rest assured, they'll satisfy your stylish hipster urges. $8 for a set of 5, at APC.
