Rihanna's Grammy Look
Bebe at ShopStyle
Feathery & Ethereal....recreate Rihanna's Red Carpet Look with frosted blue and silver eyeshadows, metallic nails and feathery...

We didn't love the dress... we haven't loved the hair since she embraced this poodle nonsense but...we did like the Ethereal feel of her overall look. Silver Nails and Pale Blue Eyeshadow is a fun way to embrace the waning days of winter.

J. Hud is now J. Wow! She's been a Sunny's Girl for years thanks to her wonderful stylist Elijah Cohen! We love her...she's never looked more amazing and we are so happy to see a out in the open Sunny's Girl on the red carpet (believe us...there are many more but we don't take discretion lightly)

Giambattista Valli at ShopStyle

Wow...she looked great... wasn't what we were expecting but... if you want to Shop her Style... I think the only thing you can really recreate with Beyonce's Grammy look is Spanx and Butt Pads.

Beyonce's hair was very light...something that I think is becoming a Grammy tradition. She didn't go for the tousled waves we were hoping for but it was nice to see Beyonce in this body hugging gown by Stephane Rolland.

Elle.com features a hopeful story about beauty and brains merging together to provide solutions to some our most common beauty complaints.

MIT's Langer lab is working on finding solutions to creating fuller more voluminous hair. Read more

The Real Brides of Atlanta... these are the lovely dolls from the Atlanta Bridal Extravaganza. They were all a ray a sunshine as they transformed their bobs into long hair at our show.

They are all wearing Lord & Clip In Hair Extensions in 14". From Left to right, Color 4/30, 10/16/24, and 4. They were all styled by Steve Moore of The Moore Agency.

Nicole Richie has been infamous as far as having an orange brass blonde colour of her locks has been concerned. The part on the left side of her forehead is seen in approximately all her images, no matter what hairstyle she has made on her head. It is certain that she has adopted many hairstyles over several years, which include ponytail, wavy hair, braids and hair with the wings. Today, hairstyles have become more inside the area of sexy, however still they continue to keep a trendy part of Nicole’s life.



A natural look has been pleasing for Nicole Richie and a loss of extensions is not missed by most that also includes her celebrity hair stylist. Since her separation from Paris Hilton, she has gone through several significant changes. Not only she has lost a considerable amount of weight, she has also thrown away her hair extensions for more growth naturally.



The bangs continue to be swept to the left side but the whole new hairstyle appears to be saying something about softness and romance, which was not such before. The shorter hairstyle seems to be much more pleasing on her and the layers has been perfect thereby giving a mature yet modern look.




Russell Brand is one of Britain’s best loved comedians. His wily ways and crazy hair has had many people talking and despite the recent controversy over some of his radio show ideas that has landed him in a little bit of hot water, he is still loved and adored by many fans.



Russell Brand has very often been commented on for his wacky dress sense and his more than crazy hair and when he turned up for the Late Show with David Letterman, the famous hair was still intact, despite rumors that he was reportedly going to chop it all off. Classically back combed to within an inch of its life, any woman would have looked on at his hair with shock and horror but instead of forcing women to run away as fast as they can in the other direction, it would appear that Russell Brand’s hair seems to have become quite a hit with the ladies.



His hair is shoulder length, well shoulder length with all of the backcombing; it is not really known what his hair looks like without the wacky style. Most men wouldn’t admit it, but they all seem to love long hair and this is something that Russell definitely has on his side.



Despite the fact that he looks scruffy and rather unkempt, it is almost reminiscent of the look adorned by Johnny Depp in the hit films “Pirates of the Caribbean” which is perhaps why it has been so well received.

Rose Byrne, star of such films as “28 Weeks Later” and “The Dead Girl” has recently finished her filming her latest film, “Knowing” alongside Nicholas Cage in which she attended the premiere in New York just recently. A stunning girl with such a pretty face, she is the epitome of grace and beauty and the fact that she has been nominated for such awards as Golden Globes and the Australian Film Institute, it would appear that she is still just a down to earth girl.



Rose did not look like any ordinary girl at the premiere of her latest film however. Stood next to the great actor, Nicholas Cage, she looked every inch the natural beauty that Hollywood simply adores and with a hairstyle that was both simple and elegant, she could have played the leading lady in any number of films up until now.



The front of her hair were not cut into bangs as the latest Hollywood female celebrities are opting for these days, but pulled back from her face to show her naturally dark eyes. The rest of her hair was delicately curled into very loose waves that on some people would have swamped, but on the gorgeous Rose, looked fabulous and graceful.



The whole look was teamed with a rather filly edged pink dress with no visible signs of accessories and to be quite frank, many of today’s most prestigious stars could have taken a leaf out of this young actresses book, learning how to be graceful and elegant while still looking good at a red carpet event.

With all of the female celebrities strutting their stuff on the red carpets these days, it can be hard to notice the guys all dressed up in their fancy gear.


Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston Hairstyles

Owen Wilson is one of the men that certainly stands out from the crowd and for a rather strange reason for a man. It is not because of his wild party ways or random dress sense but actually to do with his head of wonderful looking hair.


Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston Hairstyles

Generally, Owen wears his hair at a medium length. Although on women the length may be fairly short, on men it is certainly longer than the rest of the leading men. It also suits all manner of styles from wavy to straight and he has even chucked in a few shorter hairstyles along the way.


Owen Wilson Latest Hairstyles

It was the premiere of “Marley and Me” that had him looking his best with a full head of hair that was slightly wavy and almost beach head in nature, but it was a look that suited him perfectly and had many female fans drooling.


Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston Hairstyles

Owen usually has light and feathery bangs to complete his look which perhaps is a trick to deflect from his very famous and rather prominent nose. Just falling at eyebrow levels, these bangs have been a regular appearance on many red carpets and although gives him the casual and laidback surfer look, also looks remarkably good with a shirt and tie!

One of the hottest versions of the classic bob is the inverted bob with many celebrities shaping their hair into this chin-length style. Staying true to the short haircut made popular by the 1920’s version of liberated women or “flappers.” It was invented by Antoine, a Parisian hairdresser in 1909 who was inspired by the story of “Joan of Arc.”



Today this hairstyle is worn mostly by women, with the cut shorter in the back and chin length sections of hair in the front. But men joined in the fun in the 1970’s wearing the hair cut short with a longer section of hair falling between the chin and the ears.



With many women loving to wear their hair like the celebrities, recently the inverted bob has received more attention due to the posh bob or “pob” hairstyle of Victoria Beckham, who created the look from the concave bob.



What makes this hairstyle so popular is that it works for almost every type of hair and face shape. This angled bob hairstyle that’s very funky with a stylish twist: the hair is fabulously graduated in the back accented with long, textured front layers.



You can give your bob more height and fullness at the top or enhance your bob with bangs, parts, curls and flips. The popularity of this haircut can be measured by the number of celebrities along with Eva Longoria, Victoria Beckham that are choosing it as their favourite “do” including Katie Holmes, Rihanna, Ellen Barkin and Hayden Panettiere.

Are you trying to eat healthier food on an unhealthy budget? Fortunately, some of the cheapest foods are good for you.
The real trick to minimizing your grocery bill is finding the right recipes for healthy foods. That's why we're providing a list of 60 inexpensive and nutritious foods. Please note, however, that prices will vary based on the store, location and season. One serving refers to one apple, one cup of oats, etc.; not the entire bag of apples or bucket of oats. Bon appetit!
1. Apples
A great mid-afternoon snack when raw or a dessert when cooked. Just make sure you wash the skins first.
2. Bananas
A portable source of potassium and a good basis for smoothies.
3. Baby Carrots
Keep a bag at work for a cheap and healthy snack.
4. Barley
Nutty flavored and makes a nice change from potatoes, rice and pasta. Barley Mushroom Pilaf
5. Beans
Good as a base for soup or a thickener. Soak in baking soda or cook with a peeled carrot to reduce gas.
6. Beets
Turned your nose up at beets as a kid? Give them another try.
7. Black Beans
Hands down, the most anti-oxidants of any bean. Soak raw beans for faster cooking time.
8. Black-eyed Peas
Good luck when eaten New Year's Day. Also known as the cowpea.
9. Bok Choy
Light and sweetly flavored; a great way to stretch a wok meal.
10. Broccoli
Catch the crowns on sale for a low-calorie treat providing calcium, potassium, fiber.
11. Bulgar Wheat
A quick-cooking type of whole wheat you can use as a substitute for rice or cous cous.
12. Butternut Squash
Less than a buck in season and makes a deliciously smooth soup.
13. Cabbage
Try all three flavors: Green, red and Napa. All are filling and cheap.
14. Canned Tomatoes
Easier to cook with but make sure you use a low-sodium version.
15. Carrots
The beta-carotene is good for your eyes but there's so much more to the most inexpensive of veggies. (Easy to grow, too.)
16. Celery
It's not true it takes more calories to eat celery than you earn, but it's a nice idea. Not bad raw but a great energy boost when stuffed with peanut butter.
17. Celery Root
Grate with carrots and mix with low-fat milk and mayo for a French-version of coleslaw that's unbelievably good.
18. Chicken Gizzards
Don't throw away the bagged gizzards that come with each chicken. Properly cooked, they're delicious and a great source of protein.
19. Coffee
Skip super-expensive Starbucks (45 calories from fat) and bring a thermos of home-brew to work.
20. Cornmeal
White, yellow and blue cornmeal are all roughly ground and make a nice change from wheat.
21. Cucumbers
It's hard to beat thinly sliced cucumbers and onions in a vinegar sauce for an easy and delicious potluck dish.
22. Daikon Radish
Also known as the Chinese radish, it looks like a carrot and is delicious raw. Low in calories and high in vitamin C.
23. Dried Plums
Prunes with an image makeover and the same benefits.
24. Eggs
Less than $1 for half a dozen (sometimes for a dozen) and a cheap source of protein.
25. Garbanzo Beans
aka "chickpeas" are cheapest raw but even canned are a great protein.
26. Green Beans
Frozen retain their nutritive value but taste even better fresh. Stay away from the high-sodium canned.
27. Greens
Nutritionally rich, tons of fiber and available year round. Delicious sauteed in olive oil with onions, garlic and cayenne.
28. Grapes
I like to peel them to make for a long-lasting snack. It's addictive.
29. Grapefruit
Two servings each packed with vitamin C, pectin fiber and antioxidants. Sweeten by cooking.
30. Kale
A highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidant properties; considered to be anti-inflammatory.
31. Kiwis
Often $1 for 3 or 4 and they're packed with vitamin C. Peps up smoothies or oatmeal. Tip: Spoon the fruit out of its shell.
32. Lentils
The versatile legume makes great soups or mix up a can with fresh tomatoes for a snack.
33. Mangoes
Packed with vitamins A, B6, and C with fiber to spare. Hard to peel but has a great smooth texture. Watch for sales.
34. Milk
Prices have fallen to less than $1.50/gallon as a way to attract shoppers. Low-fat and non-fat milk really aren't that bad!
35. Nuts
Pay less for peanuts, almonds and walnuts in the shell. A handful makes a healthy mid-day snack.
36. Oats
Microwave slow or fast oats for two minutes in a bowl and mix with yogurt for breakfast.
37. Olive Oil
Drizzle on a crusty bread, douse with garlic salt and pop it into the toaster oven.

Ripen at 65 to 75 degrees F for 4-10 days, depending on the type.
43. Popcorn
Pop some up at home with a minimum of salt and oil to feed the late-night munchies.
44. Potatoes
Avoid fries and chips, eat them with the skins or mashed and you've got potassium and vitamin C.
45. Pumpkin
Scrape the soft flesh before carving and bake or puree.
46. Pumpkin Seeds
Snack on jack-o-lantern guts for protein and essential minerals.
47. Rice
In India, rice is cooked in boiling milk and sweetened with jaggery (an unrefined sugar) to make a rice pudding called Payash.
48. Rutabagas
A cross between the cabbage and turnip; eat the bulb root or leaves to avoid goitres.
49. Sardines
Mash with parsley, olive oil and lemon juice then spread on crackers for an appetizer rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
50. Spinach
Packed with nutrients; easy base for an omelet.
51. Split Peas
Yellow and green varieties are an inexpensive source of protein.
52. Squash
Acorn, spaghetti, zucchini, butternut, pumpkin, etc. Strictly speaking, they're fruits, not vegetables.
53. Sweet Corn
Frozen or on the cob, it promotes healthy vision and a strong cardiovascular system.
54. Sweet Potatoes
Each of these orange babies packs four grams of fiber and more than 25 percent of daily vitamin A and C requirements.
55. Tofu
Inexpensive, health protein source. Doesn't take much to fill you. Don't like the texture? Try it in smoothies.
56. Tuna
Cans packed in water are dirt cheap lately and almost 100-percent protein.
57. Turkey
A popular bargain-priced loss-leader around the holidays. Buy an extra bird and freeze it for later, if you have room.
58. Turnips
The root is high in vitamin C and three greens are a good source of Vitamin A, C, K and calcium.
59. Water
Yes, water is food, and it's relatively free. Replace pop and coffee with water to reduce hunger cravings.
60. Yogurt
The best quick lunch and good for your digestive system. Cheaper if you buy in bulk, rather than individual servings.

But even the best foods aren't enough. You physically can't eat enough good foods to receive optimal levels of the essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phyotonutreints, etc.

This is a first...we're unabashedly Kim K lovers at Sunny's...but marriage has been kind to Khloe and she looks softer and feminine, so much so that we declare her effortless chic airport attire a look we love.

We love the hair split down the middle with the simple and straight hair. To achieve Khloe's look we'd:
  • Clip In 16" of Natural Wave Indian Hair in a light brown tone.
  • Flat Iron the clip in with an ionic T3 Flatiron and a light thermal protectant (our personal favorite...Hot Sauce by FHI )
  • Instead of searing the hair to get it poker straight we'd casually run the flat iron over the tresses to recreate her effortless airport look.
