Celebs have oodles of choices when it comes to clothing. It looks like their fave brand is Juicy Couture. In the past week alone, Brooklyn Decker, Reese Witherspoon, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Zoe Saldana and Molly Sims all have been spotted in the super cute, trendy and fun styles from them.

The supposedly all-natural cocktails turned out to be anything but-- and Whole Foods wasn't pleased. Whoops!

Bethenny

Put down that cocktail! In a dramatic move yesterday, Whole Foods pulled Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl line of bottled cocktails from their shelves. The drinks claimed to be "all-natural," but apparently, um, weren't. The problem seems to have been the inclusion of a preservative, which, it turns out, didn't sit well with Whole Foods once they found out about it. Whoops.

Should we have seen this one coming? Perhaps. A nutritionist talking to the Huffington Post noted that there are no ingredients listed on the bottles; in retrospect, maybe this should have been an indication that things were not what they seemed. Then again, even without considering what a lack of ingredients may or may not imply, maybe this should have been a no-duh point anyway. Consider: Is it possible for margaritas and sangria-both of which usually contain

Jessica Chastain

Whether you're red-y or not (see what we did there?), Jessica Chastain is taking the silver screen on by storm. The redheaded starlet is proving that roles for women in their 30's are still alive and kickin': She picked up a total of 7 starring roles this year alone. Two of these films, The Tree of Life and The Help, have already been received to great acclaim and have placed Chastain alongside the likes of Brad Pitt and Emma Stone. With an appearance in the Sam Worthington vehicle The Debt coming up next, we're awfully curious about what the California native is like. Here are 25 things you may not know about Jessica Chastain:

1. Born in Northern California, Jessica stands at 5'4"- exactly the same height as your esteemed writer.

2. A graduate of The Juilliard School in NYC, Jessica received a scholarship to pursue

Jennifer Aniston

This summer has been a doozy and we at Lock & Mane are ready to say sayonara to humidity, frizzies, unruly curls and all around heat wave-schvitzing (it's a technical term). Bring on the jeans, boots, pumpkin lattes and fabulous, crisp Autumn hair weather!

In anticipation of this, our favorite hair season, we reached out to our mane experts for their take on Fall's hottest tress trends. The hair gods have spoken: Technicolor strands are out, choppy, asymmetrical bobs are in, and the braid is here to stay.

Fall hair

While celebs like Blake Lively and Kate Middleton made us swoon over their covet-worthy long, luscious locks this summer, hair god Oscar Blandi predicts that textured, choppier long bobs (like Jennifer Aniston's recent crop) will be a major trend for the coming season. Celeb stylist John Ruggiero agrees:

pony

The ponytail has been worn for years and years, but this season, a ponytail does not have to mean that you are having a bad hair day. Finally, there are sexy and chic ponytail styles for all types of hair that can be worn for day and night. Seen on many spring and fall runways this year such as Alexander Baradi, Celine, and Valentino, the ponytail can be rocked by anyone- it's also being seen repeatedly on the hottest celebs such as Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian.

Messy ponytail

The messy ponytail is the perfect, effortless look for this season because it is extremely easy to wear for any hairstyle and any face shape, and it looks like you didn't try too hard, giving it the ultimate understated sexy vibe. It is also a very soft look, so even though it is messy, it can be worn with nice dresses or for a night out. To get this look, Blake Lively's hairstylist, Jennifer Johnson, suggests

The actress fights to make the world a better place-- even if it means getting arrested while doing it.

Daryl Hannah

Celebs do have a tendency to get arrested fairly frequently; usually, though, they're for things like punching party bus drivers (I'm looking at you, Matthew Fox). Not so for Daryl Hannah, though: The Kill Bill actress was nabbed in Washington, D.C. yesterday outside the White House during a sit-in protesting a pipeline expansion known as Keystone.

According to CNN, the expansion of the Keystone pipeline would significantly increase the amount of oil the US imports from the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta, Canada. While the Athabasca oil sands are a lucrative source of oil, the way that the oil is extracted isn't so great for the environment

The Associated Press reports that before Hannah and more than 100 other protesters were arrested, the actress said that the protesters wanted to break the world's dependency on fossil fuels. They

A single woman

Single girl envy is the name for that feeling a girl gets when she's in a relationship and suddenly she feels kind of . . . trapped. It's not that you don't like your boyfriend necessarily . . . it's just that, you wish you could go out for a few drinks with the girls this weekend instead of to his parents house . . . again. And you kind of, sort of wish you could go over and speak to that uhhh-mazing looking guy by the bar. Except you don't because that would be bad. Baddd girlfriend. And you suddenly seem to be the only girl around in a relationship, while all your friends are going out. Again. Without you. And if you're anything like me, you will understand exactly what feeling I'm talking about!

It's the opposite, if you like, of that feeling you get when your friend comes round to tell you that she's going out with that guy she's been drooling over, or that she and her ex number one million and fifty
