We all loved the dark, wine-stained, vampy lips that were so huge for fall -- even if they were almost impossible to wear in real life. This year's must-try lip shade is orange. And while it's still tricky to pull off, we promise you'll feel a lot less Goth when you give it a go.
Ombré has been on its way out for years, but it still held on through most of 2013. If you've been itching for a new hair color trend, here it is: something celebrity hair colorist Beth Minardi calls "lit-from-within" color. "Ombré's done," says Minarid. "With lit-from-within, I take the entire underneath of the hair and make it a much different color from the body of the hair. When you move your head, you see these wisps coming through." She recommends choosing a lighter color for the underneath, and sectioning the hair from the backs of the ears down. Now, get thee to a salon.

Please step away from the high-heeled basketball shoes. Sure, they're comfortable and give you the extra three inches you've always wanted, but they're just so … well, wrong. Besides, store shelves are practically exploding with an array of cool boots -- most of which are now on sale. Over-the-knee styles, cool-yet-casual motos, comfy booties. We know you'll find a pair you like just as much as your beloved wedge sneaks.
