      The new trend in hair is a long, pin-straight mane. Fall's runways teemed with armies of models parading waist-skimming, perfectly pressed locks. The minimalism that has dominated fashion for the past few years has finally made its way to hair, and now is the time to restore some polish to your look, starting from the top down.

    • Vintage Shopping Guide

      By Harper s Bazaar | Author Blog Posts – Thu, Jul 19, 2012 12:13 PM EDT

      Not to boast, but we've basically mastered the realm of online shopping - except in one particular, very important aspect - antique and vintage housewares. Navigating the muddy waters of very important piece versus quirky accoutrement versus pure junk (if you'll excuse the expression) available on the web can be treacherous. We got a lifeline from some experts in the field: Jonathan Adler, home magnate and eBay aficionado, Michael Bruno, founder of haute antique site 1stdibs and Andrea Stanford, One King's Lane's VP of Merchandise, Designer and Vintage Sales. Read on for shopping tips that just might change your life, or at the very least, your home. Plus, shop more chic finds.

    • Trend Alert: Flower Crowns

      By Harper s Bazaar | Fashion – Wed, Jul 11, 2012 12:55 PM EDT

      HBZMemories of idyllic afternoons and wild flowers crowns need not be a thing of the past, especially when a floral topper is the look of the moment. First appearing on the Dolce & Gabbana Fall runway in February, recently a trio of celebrities have stepped out with botanical headpieces. We're taken with Keira Knightley's romantic red Chanel piece, while Kirsten Dunst borrowed from the Dolce & Gabbana runway at Cannes. And always one to impress, Emma Stone's delicate band fits perfectly with her soft, rose gold eye shadow and wispy locks. If hordes of music festival attendees and Margherita Missoni's bridesmaids' daisy garlands are any indication, we're looking forward to a very floral summer.
