It's that time of year when the days get shorter, the temperatures get cooler, and our wardrobe gets darker. And although the status quo preaches that we should trade in our blonde highlights for more maintainable hues of chestnut, chocolate and caramel, blonde hair colors like gold, honey and ice are having a moment.

All year long we've ogled and drooled as some of our favorite It girls have taken a trip to the blonde side. Whether they've simply brightened up their already flaxen hue (a la T-Swift), undergone a total blonde hair transformation (we're looking at you, Kylie), or maintained the same stunning platinum shade they've made iconic (hey, Gwen), the stars haven't shied away from the brighter and lighter, and frankly, we're obsessed.

However, it's a lot easier to make a drastic change when you're in the safe (and dare we say, magical) hands of an A-list team of colorists and stylists guaranteed to nail your blonde color while maintaining the hair's integrity. Thus, since most of us don't have a Hollywood hair god on speed dial, even the tiniest tweak to our go-to look can cause waves of anxiety that instantly weaken our perpetual temptation to see if blondes really do have more fun. Our solution? Finding that just-right shade of blonde (whether you're dipping your toe in or taking the full-on plunge) to show your colorist as inspiration. From platinum to honey, we've taken a cue from our ever-accumulating collection of screen shots to bring you the most covetable blonde hair ideas in all of the land. Hair flips, ahead!
