Mila Kunis covers Marie Claire UK

Three words to describe the gorgeous and talented Mila Kunis? A total babe.

Not only has she gained recognition as a talented actress due to her many on-screen performances in movies such as Black Swan and Friends with Benefits, but also from her hottie A-list status. After her Black Swan performance with a role as a bad girl vixen, Kunis has since distanced herself from being seen as a bratty teen in That 70's Show. Her role in movies has transformed her into a hollywood knockout. For April 2013, she has stolen the cover of UK's Marie Claire.

In her newest film, "Oz the Great and Powerful," Kunis plays Theodora, the Wicked Witch of the West. She plays a beautiful and naive witch who has the Land of Oz's best interests at heart in the beginning, but then is tricked into becoming the wicked witch of the West. Watch her in theaters starring alongside James Franco, Rachel Weisz, and Michelle Williams.

Mad Hatter

The weather is getting a bit sunnier, the days are getting longer, and everything is getting hot-hot-hotter!  So face it--there are some things that just cannot be done in the heat. For instance, going anywhere in jeans when the sun is out is simply unthinkable. Double layering is also out of the question. Most importantly (and unfortunately), it is impossible trying to style and maintain hair during the crazy heat waves of California.

So here is a solution: don't even attempt to style your hair. Hats and beanies are perfect alternatives--they require minimal effort and still look chic and stylish. For a laid-back look, shop for snap backs from small clothing companies. If you live in Long Beach, Calif. Port is a small little shop with its own brand of clothing. Proper is also a clothing store that provides hats from other popular, upcoming clothing companies such as the Hundreds, Crooks & Castles, and Stussy. Also, nastygal.com has some girly snapback hats available for purchase.

If baseball caps aren't really your style, beanies are always an alternative. Try some trendy, slouchy beanies for a casual look. Pair those beanies with a loose top and some high-waisted shorts and you're all set.


There are so many predictable trends for spring, such as floral prints, short shorts, and flower accessories. Why not mix it up a bit with cute hat? In the spring, most fashion followers go with the trends that are played out year after year, so be original and add your own flare with your own choice of accessories. Spring is meant for change--mix it up!

Girl Crush: Lana Del Rey

"It-Girl" Lana Del Rey has been catching the attention of several fashion followers lately. Her unique 50's style with her big hair and classy dresses give her a unique look. She even was covered by Vogue for the month of March. Shown below are the UK and Australian versions of the Vogue cover.

The reason that Lana is so captivating to many is due to the eccentric look that she has. She has luscious, big lips and porcelain skin giving her a sulty, innocent look; yet her lyrics are honest and a little vile at times, which gives her an unexpected edge. Her hair is one thing that makes her stand out--nobody has sported that look since the fifties! She also uses accessories that give us a trip back down memory lane, such as heart-shaped glasses.

 

Lana's claim to fame started with her hit "Video Games" which went viral over the internet. Since then, she has recorded EP's and albums that have also become famous. Her most popular album, "Born to Die" has a few of her hit singles such as "Blue Jeans," "National Anthem," and "Summertime Sadness."  Her music is what started her internet fame, but her style is what keeps her in the loop. She styles herself and keeps herself looking original with her fresh retro look.
