According to Instagram the RHOBH ladies are back at it, currently filming Season 12 of the show just in time for some cute holiday lewks like Crystal Kung Minkoff’s burgundy metallic puff sleeve dress.

Wendy Osefo’s Pink Puff Sleeve Off The Shoulder Dress

Wendy Osefo’s Pink Puff Sleeve Off The Shoulder Dress at Karen Huger’s Vow Renewal

Real Housewives of Potomac Season 6 Finale Fashion

Wendy Osefo looks more than pretty in pink. She looks ah-maze-ing in her pink puff sleeve off the shoulder dress at Karen Huger’s vow renewal. Though I have to say it seemed hard to do anything, but standing in this dress. I mean was anyone else dying at how she had to ride in the car?! Either way we love this dress. And I think it’s safe to say that shopping a Style Stealer of it would give us complete Happy Ness.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Candiace Dillard’s Black Long Sleeve Bustier Dress

Candiace Dillard’s Black Long Sleeve Bustier Dress at Karen Huger’s Vow Renewal

Real Housewives of Potomac Season 6 Finale Fashion

Candiace Dillard looked so chic in her black long sleeve bustier dress at Karen Huger’s vow renewal. As for all the RHOP ladies’ looks Candiace seemed to go for a less dramatic look which I actually love. But I guess the drama was made up in other ways. Though it was good to see that it went over somewhat smoothly and everyone could enjoy themselves. Hopefully they can all put it all behind them just like the dreaded stairs are in this pic.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

How to Know If Downsizing Is the Right Thing to Do

how to know it's time to downsize

Richard and Jane Brown sold their four-bedroom home in the suburbs. And moved into a new two-bedroom condominium. In their 60s and still active, they chose this condominium for its amenities. It was two blocks from the ocean.

No more mowing lawns, less house maintenance, more time for golf, and travel. But, within two years of moving into their condominium, they sold it. It was way too small. And their neighbors complained about the noise when the grandchildren came over.

The Browns’ believed they had downsized too soon and too much. They sold the condominium and purchased a townhome. They gave up the proximity to the ocean for more space. This time their grandchildren were free to stay over as long as they wanted to. There was even a yard.

Richard took up membership at a gym close by to make up for the lack of amenities at their townhome. They told me this time they had reached a happy medium.

So, how do you know it’s time to downsize?

When Your Vision for the Future No Longer Aligns with Your Current Home

What’s your vision for the next 10 to 20 years of your life? What are you hoping to achieve in this stage of your life? More travel? More time with grandkids? Part-time work? Returning to school to pursue a new passion?

Before you decide to downsize, you should consider how your current home fits into your vision for the next 10 years.

And don’t forget that homes have an emotional pull. They hold memories of the children growing up, of your happy (or not so happy) times with your spouse. How do you view your home? Is it your castle? An anchor? A soft place to land or a place to lay your head?

While we may all value family, how we want it to show up in our lives may be different. Will you play a significant role in the lives of your grandchildren? Do you need extra space to have them in for a sleepover?

Knowing what your core values are is essential when it comes to downsizing.

For some, the idea of moving is very daunting. Especially if they have accumulated years of “stuff.” But you need to realize that we will all need to move at some point… or be moved.

When You Can No Longer Manage

Many of you managed to maintain a large family home for 40 years. But now you are finding it challenging to keep up with the lawn and repairs around the house. If that is the case, it may be time to move.

Would you be able to manage if your partner were no longer able to help you keep up with maintaining the place? Consider your finances and your physical abilities.

Downsizing to Access Equity in Your Home

The first 10 to 20 years of retirement is when you are most active. Downsizing will free up equity from your house to use in other ways.

Use this cash to achieve some of the goals you’ve put off for years. Or to pay for escalating health care costs.

Needs and priorities may have changed. Accept that there will be trade-offs in downsizing. For instance, you may need to move closer to a health care provider.

Reasons Not to Downsize

You may decide against downsizing if you need the space to accommodate a wheelchair or two. Or if the community you’ve been living in for the past 40 years could be an integral part of your life.

If you are considering downsizing, start by asking yourself, “What would compel me to downsize?” This may shed some light on whether it’s time to downsize or not.

Are you considering downsizing? Why? What has prompted the notion? What are your priorities at this time in your life? Are you in need of less space, more space, better location, or something else? Please share with our community!

Florence Pugh Just Chopped Her Hair Into a Pixie Mullet & Dyed It Brown

Is there anything better than getting your hair cut and/or colored, leaving the salon and feeling like a supermodel? No, we don’t think there is. But because of the current climate, seeing your hairstylist might not be as easy and getting your split ends cut off or your roots done might just be a quick in-and-out appointment without all the fun. That’s one reason why we’re so obsessed with actors and influencers who switch up their look on a dime. We’re jealous, sure, but it’s also aspirational AF. So, we’re rounding up the best celebrity hair makeovers of 2021 as they come so you can drool with us.

Though, it’s not just about drooling over these looks. Saving this page and referring back to it at the hair salon can help you decide if curtain bangs or a bob is right for you. Hairstylists actually love when you show them photos because they can get a real feel of the vibe you’re looking for and can adjust the look into something that suits your wants and needs. This goes for color, too. Did you ask for balayage when you really meant a shadow root? It’s easier to just give examples of what you want.

Some of these celebrity looks aren’t permanent. Stars love to play around with wigs, extensions and faux bangs. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Real or faux, we’re taking inspo from our favorites to figure out our next look for 2021 and beyond.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Florence Pugh

Whether it’s for a role or just because she wanted a big change, actor Florence Pugh looks stunning with her new shorter and darker hair.

Hailey Bieber

Mrs. Bieber went brunette for fall and looks stunning! We love that her colorist left some lighter pieces in the front to brighten her face.

Selena Gomez

It feels like every fashion girl on my TikTok FYP is getting a bob for fall. Selena Gomez just joined the club with her chic, blunt style.

Megan Fox

Hello, new look! Fox showed off her icy new hair on Instagram, writing: “This is what the devil’s daughter looks like.” What’s probably a wig is for her 2022 movie Johnny & Clyde, a Bonnie & Clyde update, also starring Tyson Ritter. It looks so cool on her, she should probably rock it IRL, too.

Whitney Peak

The Gossip Girl reboot star hit up the Savage x Fenty Vol. 3 show rocking a platinum blonde mullet. It’s a far cry from her character Zoya’s naturally curly hair.

Gigi Hadid

Although it’s not set to air until September 23 on Amazon Prime Video, Savage x Fenty is giving us sneak peeks of Vol. 3 of the ultra-hot runway show. We spotted model mom Gigi Hadid and her new baby bangs! They’re probably clip-ins but they’re cute enough to do for real.

Irina Shayk

The model showed up to New York Fashion Week looking totally different — and seriously chic — in a bob with bangs. It’s most likely a wig but it looks so good, we’re hoping she does it for real.

Camila Cabello

The singer first took to TikTok to show off her chic new bob — a far departure from her usual long locks. Response from fans was mixed, with many disliking the change and saying she looks too much like “Fifth Harmony Camila.” We think she looks incredible and like the grown-up performer she’s turning into. Hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos is responsible for the blunt bob.

Chrissy Teigen

After seeing how good Kourtney Kardashian looks with short hair, Chrissy Teigen decided to join the celeb bob club. She credited hairstylist Sabrina Porsche for the sleek cut and style.

Lorde

We had to do a double-take when we saw Lorde’s (faux) blonde hair in her new music video for “Mood Ring.” She looks a lot like The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy.

Kylie Jenner

OK, Kylie! The beauty boss rocked knee-length hair and a gold bikini to celebrate Kylie Cosmetics’ 24K Birthday Collection, which launches on August 10. Remember: this is the revamp with new formulas.And that

Zoey Deutch

The actress was seen in full Y2K hair and clothing on the set of Hulu’s upcoming movie Not Okay.  Although it’s most likely a wig, Deutch famous friends love this look for her. “Wait I love your hair like this,” wrote Riverdale‘s Madelaine Petsch on Instagram. We couldn’t agree more.

Gabrielle Union

Often when a woman does the “big chop,” it’s because there’s damage to their hair or they had to cut it off for a reason. But Gabrielle Union is showing you can go ultra-short just because it looks amazing. “The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new,” she wrote on Instagram.

Emma Chamberlain

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of all of Gen Z making a hair appointment to copy Chamberlain’s cool-girl bangs.

Jennie

The Blackpink singer slays with Y2K-style full bangs. She credited hairstylist Preston Wada for the chop.

Margot Robbie

The actor covers this month’s British Vogue looking like a ’70s supermodel with caramel blonde hair and new bangs.

Paris Jackson

Y2K beauty and fashion are trending like crazy. Just take a look at Paris Jackson’s color-block hair. We’re loving the emerald green shade poking out from under her blond hair.

Florence Pugh

The actress is giving us Y2K vibes with pastel purple ends. We’re not sure who did the color (maybe she did it herself?) but the gorgeous waves were created by hairstylist Peter Lux.

Demi Lovato

Mullets are trending like crazy and apparently, Demi Lovato got the memo. The front of her hair is short and the back is all the way past her shoulders.

Sophie Turner 

Just a week after debuting piece-y bangs, the Game of Thrones star went fully red! She shared a cute mirror photo wearing Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour merch and showing off her matching red Casetify Cottage Core case.

Ciara

“Pelirroja,” Ciara wrote on Instagram. (Pelirroja is Spanish for redhead.) The singer is looking stunning with long ginger hair giving off a bit of a sexy princess Ariel vibe.

Sophie Turner 

“Ya gal’s bang’d up,” the Game of Thrones star wrote on Instagram stories over the weekend. The choppy, piece-y style is different from the blunt bangs we’ve seen her rock before. We love this low-key fringe for summer because it’s easy to pin back or grow into curtain bangs.

Kim Kardashian

We’ve seen the media mogul try just about every hairstyle but the lob will always be our favorite. This one has a gorgeous curled-under ’70s vibe.

We’re obsessing over D’Amelio’s new chop with ’90s-style layers that feel so fresh for summer.

Miranda Cosgrove

She’s back, baby! Hairstylist Clayton Hawkins gave Cosgrove pretty blonde highlights for the iCarly revival.

Kim Kardashian

Look who’s blonde again! But it was only for a few hours. Kardashian was shooting an upcoming campaign either for KKW Beauty or Skims. She actually did get her eyebrows bleached and we actually loved the look with her naturally dark hair. But then when they put the blonde wing on it was like, whoa. Right before she left the studio, she snapped a photo showing us she’s back to brunette again, including the brows.

Sabrina Carpenter

Say goodbye to curtain bangs and hello to ‘Bardot bangs!’ Hairstylist Laurie Heaps gave Sabrina Carpenter piece-y bombshell bangs inspired by the iconic French star Brigitte Bardot. We’re obsessed.

Selena Gomez

In an Instagram photo promoting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, in April 2021, Gomez showed off her newly dyed blonde hair. The picture saw the former Disney Channel star light blonde tresses and dark roots. She most recently dyed her hair blonde in 2017 in a color dubbed by her hairstylist Nikki Lee as “Nirvana Blonde.” Gomez’s 2021 color was also done by Lee and Riawna Capri. “We’ve been doing Selena’s color for over a decade now. She typically keeps it pretty natural, but this time she went for a big change. This blonde is unique to her as we had to make sure there was an equal balance of cool and warm for her skin tone. It’s an edgier look and perfect for summer,” the hairstylists said in a statement.

Elizabeth Olsen

At the virtual launch of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier miniseries, Olsen debuted a totally different look from her usual copper-blonde hair. The bangs! The darker color! So chic.

Chrissy Teigen

We love how Teigen is playing around with wigs lately and experimenting with hair color. Although she only kept the silver shade for a day, we hope she brings it back. It looks amazing on her.

Kristen Bell

It seems like Bell is dressed up in character to film a TV show or movie but we’re loving these piecey bangs on her and we hope she keeps them up IRL.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

While filling us in on the Covid-19 relief package, AOC showed off her adorable new haircut. When followers commented saying they loved the chop, she replied, “Let’s not start another national crisis over it, right?”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Gigi Hadid

The model mom returned to the runway, walking in the Versace fall 2021 show. Hairstylist Panos Papandrianos wrote “Ginger for Gigi” on Instagram, making us believe he really did dye the model’s hair this gorgeous red shade for the occasion.

Olivia Rodrigo

The ‘Drivers License’ singer jumped on the curtain bang trend thanks to hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. They’re subtle but make a big difference in her look. One interesting note: Sabrina Carpenter has them too.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Lana Condor

The actress looks so great in this pastel pink wig, maybe she’s considering doing it IRL? “Get ‘Anyone Else But You; to 5 mil streams and I’ll keep it,” she wrote on Instagram. Though, she told STYLECASTER last year, “I don’t know that I’d ever dye dye my hair. I think my mom would kill me, you’d know?”

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Ashley Graham

The model had everyone thinking maybe she got a pixie cut but her hair is actually the result of new growth post hair loss. “Postpartum baby hairs come through!” she wrote on Instagram.

Instagram PhotoSource: Instagram

Emma Roberts

A new color and cut for the birthday girl! “Emma always looks and feels her best blonde,” said her hairstylist and Nine Zero One co-founder Nikki Lee. “We decided to keep her a warm blonde and went for a ’90s supermodel vibe. With a new baby and a big birthday, we went out with a bang! Lisa Satorn added extensions for length and fullness. I kept her haircut free and flowing with piecey layers around the face.” Lee keeps her client’s hair healthy with the In Common 3 Step Treatment System ($105 at In Common).

Katy Perry

Why not start with one of the biggest hair chameleons? Though she’s been ultra-blonde for a while, we can’t help but miss a brunette Katy Perry. It’s classically chic and fits her personality. So, when we saw these photos of backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live, we were so excited to see the long brown hair. But it seems it’s a wig and she’s already back to blonde.
