Celeb spotting in Vancouver. We heard one of the gals from The Hills was in town last week and snagged the ‘lo-down’ from one of our top-notch sources, Chris from blo Blow Dry Bar. Who’s hair did he style at the Opus Hotel? None other then Lauren’s roomie and sidekick, Lauren ‘Lo’ Bosworth.

We wanna know, what’s she really like?…She was really really nice and uber polite. She’s just a regular girl, you know? Easy going, chatty, down to earth - just very relatable. She was just like any of our other hair cadets. Super cute.

Did you learn any secrets about the other girls from The Hills…She wasn’t in Vancouver for the show, she was promoting Yasmin birth control, so I didn’t want to pry about The Hills.. I got the feeling that she isn’t the type to gossip about her gals.

If you’re an 80’s kid, back in the day you probably rocked neon like an electric beacon of style. Well, the bright coloured hues of yesteryear are back - in moderation, of course. For a killer combination, keep neons as bottom pieces and pair with a nude or neutral coloured top. Look to cutie Kristen Bell (pictured) and the Rory Beca Resort Collection for inspiration. Available at Teenflo (Second Level, Pacific Centre, 609 Granville Street, Vancouver) and Holt Renfrew locations.
