Meet the turband. It’s a cross between a headband and a turban—and it’s Coco’s beach hair solution this summer. LOVE! [Coco&Lowe]

You will be shocked—SHOCKED, I tell you!—when you see these pics of Megan Fox before and after cosmetic surgery. (And just when she was looking so great in Allure, too!) Like Heidi Montag, she looks better before. Quelle surprise. [BeautyGeeks]

Still need a last-minute Father’s Day present? If my grooming gifts don’t suit, head over here for more great ideas. [ChickAdvisor]

These stylish DVF sandals are on sale at Net-A-Porter… but I’ve also spotted them lately at Winners. Run, do not walk, to go buy! [The Style House]

This just in: marrying a younger man could shorten your life. Uh-oh… Pauleanna will tell you why. [What Women Want]

I’m a compulsive furniture re-arranger, so Apartment Therapy is one of my must-read sites. I just splurged on a copy of their new book—Allie has more deets. [Gifted]

And in my fantasy home, I WILL have these adorable rice bowls and old-fashioned charcoal grill! (I’m serious—I HAVE been fantasizing about a charcoal grill lately.) [At Home with Kim Vallée]

    Megan Fox makeunder makeover Allure magazine May 2010

    They call her The Poor Man’s Angelina Jolie. And for good reason, don’t you think? If you look at Exhibit A—the pic on the left, above—there’s just something slightly trashy about Megan Fox‘s look, even though there’s no arguing the fact that she’s incredibly beautiful.

    What IS it about her, anyway? Mostly I think it’s the red carpet come-hither expressions and Angelina-esque tattoos… but we can’t discount the importance of beauty. And in her case, the red lips paired with jet-black and dead-straight hair is a bit harsh, no?

    That’s why I was both surprised and delighted to see Miss Fox in the June issue of Allure (above right and more here). Everything is soft, soft, soft and I’m now seriously jealous of that peaches and cream skin (and peach makeup, for that matter). You can’t really tell from this photo, but she’s also got the most adorable freckles. Who knew?

    Maybe, just maybe, Megs is on her way to being a more serious actress. Doing your hair and makeup like this would be the way to do it, anyway. But tell me what YOU think:
