The Messy Bun: For those who don't have the patience for styling, you're in luck, because the latest trend in updos takes neither time nor skill to achieve. This is no ballet recital bun: you won't need bobby pins or hairspray. Inspired by Swedish singer (and style icon of the moment) Lykke Li , the truly fashion forward are piling their locks into simple knots on the very tops of their heads.

Solid Gold: Always the leader in nail trends, Chanel has positioned its Gold Fiction nail polish as the new "must-have." While it has yet to reach the cult status of past blockbuster shades such as Vamp or Black Satin, the metallic varnish is certainly the closest thing to an "it" shade right now. Also hotly tipped by beauty trendsetters is the companion shade, Kaleidoscope, another disco metallic similar to Gold Fiction in glimmer but platinum rather than gold. Because both are limited edition shades, they sold out quickly, so you'll have to hunt them down on eBay at this point.

Black Magic: Apparently goth isn't a trend that one outgrows upon high school graduation because the most coveted lip gloss color of the moment is black. Perhaps makeup addicts are finding inspiration in Twilight mania (the movie opens next month), because both YSL's Pur Black and Lancôme's Piha Black have been selling out. To avoid looking too costumey, try layering it over red lipstick, as recommended.
