Moroccanoil hair products are a conversation maker

A tiny dab creates a very silky light finish that is said to protect against UV rays and environmental stressors. For all those who think New Yorkers are in a hurry, well, we're in a hurry to get with what's worth spending time on. Cutting to the chase, if you will— and, a talkative bunch at that. I really do love riding city buses.?? If I wasn't such a multi-tasking, overloaded New Yorker, I could spend my day riding a bus and observing and chatting and taking in the view. The other day, I dropped by a new(ish) products show for the media and left with just a few interesting things to consider. One was a bottle of Moroccanoil (that's

Sarah Jessica Parker + Sex and the City 2 = 80’s Rewind

I’m not loving the math on this one… If there was anyone who could redo 80’s style at its super fun best it would be Patricia Fields– some of my best stripe tops came from her shop back then. If there was ever someone whose present out beauties her past it is Sarah Jessica Parker. From yesterday’s first day of filming Sex and the City 2 in New York, there have been some paparazzi photos leaked of a very polished and lovely looking SJP in her role as Carrie. But then there’s also this homage to the 80’s number, complete with the rather unflattering mall perm… >> SHOP: Halston Heritage Stretch Denim Legging in White - as seen on Sarah

Agyness Deyn rocks out a retro Hollywood Glam look, thoughts?

Cutting edge model / muse goes bouffant a go-go… We ‘re usually not into model mania here at FOS but in homage to last night’s “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” gala at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art Costume Institute, we thought it was apropos to take note. Most often adored as a muse for more of a downtown, rocker tough girl that seems so right, Agyness Deyn turned up at the Met Gala last night in a full-out set-to-an-inch-of-its-coiffed-life bouffant hairdo, and some very pale matte pink lips– oh, and that to-die-for Burberry gown! Agyness Deyn’s jeans available at: shopgeneticdenim.com   Photos of Agyness and Twiggy in Burburry, courtesy of Burberry. Photo of Agyness in genetic Denim, courtesy of

The Haute Hippie- fashion lets the sunshine in…

Fringe, beads, and a whole lotta love The Haute Hippie - Fashion lets the sunshine in... Fringe, beads, and a whole lotta love We went to see the "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" Hair on Broadway the other day and I have to say that the production is still wonderfully moving and that the costumes are right on the fashion money for one of Spring's top trends: The Haute Hippie. [img5188|right]Back in its day, there was the Rich Hippie look, which is what evolved into today's modern BoHo inspiration. Yes, we understand the political references to the counter-culture Hippie movement in its time, so no militant e-mails please like the ones we get about grunge— it's fashion here, not politics! Yes,

Beauty Tips: Beautiful Big Hair

From Charlie's Angels to Kim Kardashian, beautiful big(ish) hair styling tips… I am going to show my age here, but who cares?! As a boy, I grew up with posters and pictures of Charlie’s Angels plastered all over my bedroom. It was back in the day when Drew Barrymore was in ET and had no idea (at least I think so) that she would one day try and emulate those icons of 1970's style. I would collect every, and I mean every, picture of the Angels that I could get my teenage hands on. I could go on and on, but maybe another time. Why I bring this up is that Charlie’s Angel hair, or at least the flavor, is

Golden Globes Hairstyle Tips: Kate Winslet, Renee Zellweger, and Christina Hendricks

Goldie (Golden Globe) Locks… I have to say that glamour was the name of the game in Hollywood for the 66th Annual Golden Globe awards! I am a big believer in “less is more” when it comes to fashion and that was evident in the style of most of the ladies. The gorgeousness on the red carpet this time around looked like new Hollywood returned to the 1950’s old Hollywood allure.   The red carpet fashion is amazing, however many of you can’t just run out and buy Christina Hendricks’s awesome black gown, Kate Winslet’s well-structured sophisticated black dress, or you may not wanna try Renee Zellweger 's illusion bodice Carolina Herrera gown, you can reproduce the feel of their
