Do those gorgeous photos of Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss road-tripping together with their dueling cute bob haircuts have you dreaming of getting a shorter haircut this spring--maybe for the first time ever (or the first time in a looong time)? If so, I just found another perfect bit of inspiration for you, thanks to Kristen Bell, who's been all over the place this week promoting her Veronica Mars movie.

Kristen's bob is a perfect length for someone who's slightly anxious about getting a bob--not so short that you can't throw it in a (mini) ponytail but short enough that it has tons of light, swingy movement. It can be worn super sleek, like Kristen did on Monday, or give it the model-off-duty (Karlie-esque) texture shown here by winding medium sections around a curling iron quickly, without using the clamp. Texturizing spray and dry shampoo help you get the effect too.

What do you think of Kristen Bell's longish bob, and are any of you craving one for spring? Who's your celebrity haircut inspiration right now?
