Daily Dip: Erin Lucas
Introducing Erin Lucas, the girl who AskMen.com describes as: "A self-proclaimed serial dater, Erin Lucas is a downtown party girl with a penchant for stringing along three men at a time. Don’t get the wrong idea about her, though. This 24-year-old NYU grad isn’t promiscuous; she’s just open-minded. “Trying new things is always fun for me,” she says. “Throw me in with anyone and I’ll be fine.” That was especially evident during the first season of The City as Lucas dated a wide variety of eligible young bachelors. Unfortunately, her egalitarian approach sometimes backfires, leading her to endure some rather unsavory sleeping arrangements. “I have an invisible tattoo on my forehead that says 'make out with me’” she jokes, “and only guys who live on futons can read it.” Enough Said.

Back to Her Roots: Olivia Palermo Returns to the Dark(er) Side
OMG.
I almost gasped when I saw these pictures. You know, I've always loved Olivia Palermo- her hair, her style...everything! (even her bitchy attitude on The City was fun to watch-even though it's totally made-up drama.)
Olivia recently went back to her rich brown locks after being quite blonde for awhile and I think she looks incredible.
Here's a reminder of her blonde hair (which also looked stunning on her, she can really pull off both colors.)
...and here are her new darker tresses (love!) pictures from Hills Freak courtesy of MTV.com
Is she stunning or what? I even love the way her hair is styled. Soft, loose curls are always a DO!
Do you like Olivia better as a blonde or brunette?
xoxo,
Veronika.

Olivia Palermo from "The City" Hair & Makeup Inspiration
I've admired Olivia Palermo since the first season of "The City" for her great sense of style, gorgeous hair and flawless makeup. Polished is the best word I can use to describe her. My jaw dropped at the gorgeousness of the outfit she wore when she first went to the Elle magazine offices on last night's season 2 premiere- stunning. 
Sporting sun-kissed locks this season, she continues to have hair I think a lot of women wish they had. I'd love to know how she styles it- it has just the right amount of volume, toussle and bounce to it. The curls are defined, but not fussy. I also wonder if she has extensions, since her hair seems too good to be true (especially after going lighter, which typically causes damage). Someone told me the other day that my makeup reminds them of the way Olivia wears hers. While I certainly don't think I look even close to as polished as she does, I realized that we do wear makeup in a similar way. Perhaps that is why I am so drawn to her "look." 
She seems to line her eyes with dark brown liner (like I do- I use MAC fluidline gel liner in "Dipdown") and she always has bronzed skin with pink blush on her cheeks and soft, pink lips. I love certain celebritiy makeup looks because they remind me of the colors I like to use and the looks I try to achieve. I even used a gorgeous photo of Hayden Panitierre that I ripped out of a celebrity weekly to show my wedding makeup artist, and she replicated the look for me (the one below is smilar to, but not the exact photo I used). 
Kate Beckinsale's makeup always impresses me. She looks so fresh and her skin always glows, even when she is not super tan. She also seems to be a fan of the dark brown liner and pink, glossy lips.
Then then of course, there is my beloved Cheryl Cole, who's makeup (and hair) I covet so much that I am determined to somehow find out which products she uses. I may have to hit up some British tabloids at the bookstore...after all, there must be a UK equivilant of "US Weekly." 
Rachel Bilson's makeup always looks perfect- and I read somewhere that she usually does it herself! I notice she tends to stick to a more classic look- black or brown lined eyes, soft cheek color and pink lips. 
Which celebrity's makeup do you always find yourself admiring? I can think of so many more examples, including Rachel McAdams- always stunning no matter how her makeup is done. Leave me a comment and let me know who's makeup style you covet most- and who's reminds you the most of how you do your own makeup.
