And paint themselves their school colors once drunk enough to not care?) and hiring students at the schools they visit to give out $25 gift certificates to fellow students they see wearing American Eagle.

Creating Gorgeous Locks With a Flat Iron [Beauty Gizmo]

I still have my trusty ‘ol flat iron here though it would be months before I could start using it, but let me cherish the day when I bought this baby from the mall. I wanted to have a good ceramic flat iron in the sense that ceramic plates are less damaging to the hair , and tourmaline ceramic plates weren’t available here yet, and I wanted flat irons with round edges so that aside from styling my hair in a sleek, straight finish, I will be able to curl them during moments when I feel sassy.

Here’s a great video by Folica.com that demonstrates how to curl your hair using a flat iron - and take note, there are more than two kinds of curls that can be achieved by the trusty round-edged flat iron! In the video , they used one of the more popular brands of flat irons out there - Sedu. T3 is also one of the luxurious favorites.

Back to my story,I almost stayed half an hour with the sales lady , and asked her to teach me how to curl my hair using the flat iron. At first, I got them wrong, but in the end, I was told by the saleslady to practice more at home until I perfect it. I ended up playing with my sister’s hair, and although I haven’t perfected the technique, I still hope to see the day when I would be able to successfuly style my hair in sexy ringlets. Wish me luck!

P.S. Just a tip - be sure to have a well-conditioned hair or heat-activated styling product that would help your hair be protected from the heat! Happy styling girls!

We believe everything except the booze, because everyone knows stars drink for free. Especially when they’re underage. [The Sun]

Get Her Look: Jennifer Love Hewitt Pretty in Purple. [Celeb Look]

We haven’t seen Jennifer Love Hewitt that much yet this season, so it was such a pleasure to see her so pretty in purple this weekend.

We have found two similar dresses to get Love’s look.

The first gown is from Badgley Mischka available at Saks.com for (hold on to your hats!) $995.00. But it is a Badgley Mischka and it is silk. And oh, so beautiful!

Or, there is this version, which is much cheaper, but beautiful just as well. It is from Only Gowns for a mere $229.00. We love the fact that the criss-cross ribbon trim is so similar to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s in the photo.

Now, go get your celeb look on!

Holiday Scent Alert: Andy Warhol Silver Factory by Bond

This weekend I got the chance to sniff Bond No. 9’s latest scent, Andy Warhol Silver Factory, and I was immediately hooked. My nose stayed glued to the back of my hand all night!

Named for Warhol’s iconic studio/headquarters - more simply known as The Factory - the scent is the first in a planned series of unisex fragrances created under an agreement with the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Bond always does amazing bottles, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The front design is an ingenious recreation of one of Warhol’s most famous Campbell Soup can silkscreens, and the metallic sides recall the foiled walls of the Silver Factory. And I love how Bond’s iconic NYC subway token has been emblazoned with Andy’s name.

Notes include bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, violet, incense, jasmine, iris, amber, wood resin and cedar. Silver Factory is smokey and incensey but doesn’t have that “churchy” feel, and it manages to be both modern and evocative of a bygone era. It’s so well done and I’m absolutely in love with it; I just can’t wait to get my hands on my very own full-sized bottle!

Andy Warhol Silver Factory will be available December 1 and will retail at $230 for 3.4 oz of perfume concentrate.
