What do Rihanna and Kristen Bell Have in Common?

So what do you think pop singer Rihanna and actress Kristen Bell have in common? Aren’t you curious?  The two are obviously as different as night and day, but here’s the thing, both ladies were spotted sporting head scarves on the exact  same day early this month (January 5)!

Ri-Ri was spotted arriving at a tattoo parlor in West Hollywood with a blue bandana bow on her head while Kristen was seen leaving the David Letterman studio in New York with a tube scarf wrapped around her head like a turban:

Don’t these two look cute with their head scarves?

This just goes to show how far a scarf can go to up a certain look. If you want to copy Ri-Ri’s style here, simply grab one of these extra affordable bandanas from Amazon:

To grab Kristen’s half turban look, you will need a tube scarf (much like an infinity scarf, only smaller). Simply loop it twice around your head to achieve the half turban style:

If you can’t find a tube scarf, then go for an infinity scarf that is made of thinner material like this piece from Cheap Monday. Simply loop it around your head several times to achieve the look:

Nina Dobrev: New York City Chic, Grab Her Style!

I’m a HUGE Vampire Diaries fan, how about you? I am also a big time “DaLena” fan; you know, as in “Damon and Elena”. In fact, I was quite glad to hear that the two hooked up in real life because they make such a cute couple. Speaking of which, the two were actually spotted looking extremely dapper while in New York City last week. Nina was there to attend the breast cancer awareness event, Project Pink Day NYC, while Ian gladly tagged along. The two were dressed casually, but I like how each sported the big three (3) so nicely – hat, sunnies, AND the scarf. Nina looked oh-so chic in her biker jacket and paisley printed scarf, while Ian kept it street cool with a leather of his own, a fedora, AND a midnight blue wrapped around his neck:

Don’t these two look absolutely gorgeous? I especially love how Nina put together her outfit. In case you didn’t notice, she only had a simple tee underneath. But the add-ons really made a big diff – jacket, hat, sunnies, and scarf. Of course, those pink pointy pumps helped too. She might have patterned her style from Ian’s, him being a big fan of hats and all, but she completely nailed the look nonetheless. If you want to channel Nina here, then I suggest you grab the following from Amazon:
