Who Smells Better?

With all these celebrities coming out with their own fragrance the last few years, it makes me wonder, who is next?

We even saw J.Biebs come out with his fragrance for women, in a bottle strangely resembling Marc Jacobs' Lola, but Bieber isn't the only young fragrance-ista.

Taylor Swift recently announced her new fragrance, Wonderstruck.

The scent is personalized with charms and smelling of sandalwood and honeysuckle. A scent that works well with the country singers personality. The fragrance becomes available October 2011.

The next heavy hitter, which I was excited about, is Rihanna, with her fragrance Reb'l Fleur (Rebel Flower), the scent hit Amazon.com in February 2011.

Though I'm not ALWAYS a fan of her music, I am a fan of her style.

The pop singer's scent is a tribute to her hometown of Barbados. It has accents of ripe fruit, floral and dark amber tones. Sounds romantic, wouldn't you say?

Which scent would you choose readers? Are they both The HIT-List worthy?

XOXO,

RIP Amy Winehouse, Queen of the Bee-hive

Though she may not have been, what we call, a fashionista, she had an incredibly BIG voice, with an even bigger drug problem.

Today it was learned that Amy Winehouse, 27,was found dead in her London home, with a possible overdose (though it hasn't be confirmed).


The bee-hived and self destructive singer rose to fame in 2006 with the very popular 'Back to Black' album, which won five Grammys.


Today many mourn for the talented performer, including her good friend Kelly Osbourne. 

Osbourne who helped Winehouse enter a drug addiction treatment facility in 2008, took to her twitter to say:

"I cant even breath right now im crying so hard i just lost 1 of my best friends. i love you forever Amy and will never forget the real you!"

May she rest and peace and join the many talented artists in the 27 Club (Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and many others).

I leave you with one of my favorites by Ms. Winehouse; 'Back to Black'.

Jessica VS. Katie- Who Wore it Better?

Who Wore it Better?

Just 2 days apart, these Fashionistas (and designers- Jessica Simpson with her name sake brand and Katie Holmes' label, Holmes & Yang) sported the same embellished Isabel Marant jacket. 

Jessica Simpson, 30, chose to pair her version with denim shorts and a plain white T, while standing tall in nude platform heels in New York City, May 21st. Simpson accessorized her ensemble with a oversized handbag and turquoise jewelery.

The always chic Katie Holmes, 32, wore her jacket in New York City as well on May 23rd. Tom Cruise's better half, kept it simple with dark denim flares, nude flats and a black bag.

If you ask us, there's no doubt that the former girls next door, Katie Holmes, won this war. She may have shown up late but, as usual, looking better than her competition.

What do you think readers? Who Wore it Better?

Feather Me UP!

Feather Hair Extensions, you have probably seen them everywhere. On Celebrities, Popstars, Rockstars, your best friend and yes, even on dogs. They are the newest and hottest trend this season and they are completely affordable.

I'm going to be honest, at first I was a skeptic. Feathers? In your hair? Really? It took me literally 1 minute to see my good friend and fabulous Hair Stylist, Rhonda Cota's work, for me to change my mind and become a big fan.

Rhonda showed me her array of colors, shades, sizes and I was completely sold. I've seen the feather extensions sold everywhere and I've seen them on one too many hot messes ladies in LA, but I have to admit, I believe it's how the stylist installs them in your hair, that makes all the difference.

Rhonda is a certified ROCKSTAR when it comes to anything hair, art and fashion related, so it goes without hesitation that I trust everything she does or sells.

I was amazed when I saw her assemble a group of feathers and install them on her first client.

She takes into consideration your hair length, hair color and the way you style your hair. It only took her less than 5 minutes (no joke) to customize the perfect set and install them on her client.

When it was my turn, I was at a loss. I am a very indecisive person, I change my mind faster than I can type out this sentence. In this case, knowing that these feathers would last over a month, made my decision making process a bigger hassle. Once again, Rhonda to the rescue.

Rhonda gathered up the perfect "cocktail" for this indecisive diva, and they've lasted me OVER A MONTH without falling out, or damaging my hair! Can you say IMPRESSIVE?

The bundles can  be customized to your liking and starting at $25 a bundle, how can you go wrong? Change them up to match your mood, hide them under your layers so it's a peek a boo effect, or go CRAZY and layer them everywhere. Her feathers are also high quality and long lasting.

You treat the extensions like real hair. Wash them like you would normally wash your hair, and you can even curl and flat iron them.

Get some today! I guarantee you won't regret it ;)

Call Rhonda Cota at Carlton South Coast Plaza 714-545-7373 and tell her I sent you. She'll hook you up with a fabulous 'HIT-LIST' worthy concoction.

XOXO,
