David Babaii for Living Proof styled Kate Hudson's tresses for the 2010 MET Costume Institute Gala

Inspiration: A day spent sun-bathing in San Tropez 

The look: Elegant yet flirty, not too coiffed but still full of body and texture.

How to get the look: David Babaii used Living Proof Full to give Kate Hudson’s fine, limp blonde hair a thicker feel.  He rubbed the product between his fingers to activate the ingredients and applied FULL from root to shaft.  He rough dried the entire head to add additional volume. He then created a side part and formed a braid along the side of her face. He gathered all the hair back into a low bun at the nape of the neck, pulling the braid back with the rest, creating a sexy, cool up-do.

Babaii said, “Usually I am afraid to braid Kate’s hair because it is so fine, but Living Proof Full added the dimension and depth I needed to create this fabulous red carpet look.”

Whatta Ya think?? I dunno, I'm kinda excited. Say what you wil about her but she does have a good Figger'

Not my two favorite actresses, not very likeable, no? But they are pretty sexy!

Has anyone out there seen Paper Heart? I recently watched it and fell hard for Charlyne Yi. The movie is so endearing and Charlyne might possibly be the most adorable person alive. Her giggle is infectious. Her awkwardness is charming. And her personality is just so snuggly. Ever since I saw her in Knocked Up as the high stoner laughing at Heigl I've wanted more. Paper Heart is an unconventional love story told as a faux documentary where Yi and Michael Cera play themselves falling in love while Yi interviews other people in love in an attempt to make sense of it all. You might think it'd be cynical but it's not. It's just so damn cute. Period. She's so funny because she's not even trying to be funny. She is just so beautiful in her own independent way. Does that sound insulting? It's not meant to. She just seems so fun to hang out with. Do I have a girlcrush? Perhaps. But wouldn't it be cool if Charlyne was a rolemodel for girls instead of Lindsay Lohan? Just a thought…

Either way, I will be in the front row of her show in NYC this summer: 

Charlyne, if you read this and you're ever in NYC can I buy you a cup of coffee and a cupcake? If ever there was someone I wanted to interview for Smartypanties, it's you babe!! 

We (paper) Heart You!

According to The Cut, Ms. Britney Spears apparently did not want her photos retouched for the campaign and allowed their release. I mean, I think she looks pretty awesome for a mom of two. Photoshopping should be illegal it gives us all such unrealistic expectations.

Check out The Cut for some pics of her derriere!

Isn't this kind of an oxymoron? Skinny cargos?

What do you guys think? I kinda love 'em.

Of course I'd love anything on Ciara's rockin' bod.

Needless to say, I cannot wait for Season 2
