Celebs Give Coats off Their Backs for Charity

We like it when we hear that celebs are using their influence for good. No time is a better time than the present and the holiday season to do something caring for someone else.

Celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Miranda Kerr, Rob Lowe, and Jillian Michaels are giving the coats off their backs this holiday season by donating and signing a coat from their personal wardrobe to be auctioned off on LoleWomen.com as part of the brand’s Yellow Label Program. All proceeds will benefit Feeding America – the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Bidding starts at $20 at www.LoleWomen.com/yellowlabel and the auction kicks off with Smash Star Megan Hilty and 30 Rock’s Katrina Bowden. We at Joonbug admire their motto, "Give a Coat. Start a Story."

Holiday Ready Looks: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's

With the hectic holiday season approaching, many of us are looking for style options that work! Joonbug heard the buzz surrounding the LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's collection and wanted to check it out!

This fun line features flirty, glamorous and feminine pieces that are perfect to wear for upcoming holiday parties. "I'm always attracted to the bows, the girly aspects," says Conrad. There's a black lace trim dress accented with a bow at the top of the neck, that's really feminine and so chic - reminiscent of a modern day Audrey Hepburn. Simply wear your hair in a top bun, add a crimson red lip, winged eye-liner, stylish clutch, your favorite platform pumps and you're instantly glamtastic. The best part? For forty-eight ($48) you can't go wrong with this dress, but the line has many more stylish options.

Beauty Trends for the Season
Here at JB we love to research the latest trends and must-haves, but we also realize that our readers live in some of the busiest cities in the world! Sometimes, less is more and finding the perfect product or look can certainly decrease am stress or even pm stress! We wanted to share some of the best beauty trends for the season that are also universally flattering on any woman! Black winged eye-liner: With an ode to vintage glamour, this trend is a great way to open up your eyes for a come notice-me look. Celebutante beauties such as Lauren Conrad know that this is a great way to draw attention to eyes in an oh-so chic way. Try Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner: the thin marker-like tip is easy to use even for the least experienced, and delivers a defined thin line to a dramatic bold line with precision. Release your inner glam: Many of us might work in corporate environments and others in more creative work places, either way every fashion maven at one point or another likes to release their inner glamazon. Whether it's a glittering manicure or fun pedicure we adore these cruelty free polishes from Glamourous Cosmetics. Layering polishes is a huge trend right now and it's also a great way to have a little fun with your look. Bored with your manicure from a few days ago or showing chips? Loaded with hexagons and glitter, "Party in a Bottle" is our choice to "go glam." The perfect cheek: Sometimes, all that is needed to wake up your face is a little blush. We're addicts for Nars Orgasm blush, but also wanted to explore different alternatives for our readers. Drug-store finds are no doubt eagerly welcomed by all, so we ventured out to test a few different blushes on the market to see what works. Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush delivers a lasting flush of color and lays nicely on the skin. There are 10 flattering shades in a revolutionary powder-gel formula. Simply smile and apply a bit with your fingertip on the apples of your cheeks and voila, your ready to take on the day! Vibrant eyes: Working 9 to 5 or whatever your hours may be can sometimes give us ladies tired, even worst, baggy eyes. A magical concealer that doesn't look as if you painted a mask under your eye is a fashionista's best friend. Erase Paste by Benefit is an amazing concealer. You literally will look "un-tired" in all of your photos (we know you probably use instagram). If you're working a long day and want to instantly look re-freshed in a moment this is the concealer for you. A little goes a long way, it's very blendable and well-worth the purchase. Ballerina bun: Take cue from some of your favorite celebs and rock this look your way. How many times are you pressed for time, yet still want to look chic and pulled together? The beauty of this style is you can go more dramatic with a bun atop your head (think Sarah Jessica Parker) or for a work environment go more subdued. This hairstyle looks fabulous with more edgy looks such as leather skinny leggings or studded tops and a fierce shoe - mixing feminine with bold. Also, there's no "right" way to do the bun, it can be sleek or it can be more natural with a loose look - that's the beauty of this hairstyle!

'The Hills' Meets Its Rebellious Sister in 'Chelsea Settles'

Meet Chelsea Settles. A 23-year-old young woman, having recently moved to Los Angeles, about to dive into the dog-eat-dog world of the fashion industry.

Wait, didn't they do this with Lauren Conrad and The Hills? What makes this seemingly typical "girl finds self in road to discovery" docu-series so special from the rest?

For starters, Chelsea is not the "typical" girl dreaming of a career in the fashion business. At the beginning of the show's trailer, she reveals her weight to be 324 pounds, putting her in the dangerous zone of morbid obesity. Still determined to make it on her own, Settles moves away from a small town in Pennsylvania onto the glamorous world of L.A. Quickly, she faces the harsh realities of both the image-conscious industry she wants to be a part of as well as the health risks she is taking if her unhealthy lifestyle continues.
