Many young women are forgoing the luscious, long locks for the short, sleek bob. For one thing, it’s easier to manage, more low maintenance, and frankly, takes five pounds off the scale. The bob has been adopted by celebrities like Katie Holmes, Jessica Biel, Rihanna, and my personal favorite, Victoria Beckham. This simple cut elongates the face, and softens sharp contours in bone structure. With curly hair, try to avoid a cut that is too blunt, and with straight hair, avoid too many layers. With the florals and softer colors in arising fashion trends, the sophisticated and more polished bob is the perfect compliment.

The downside of living in these two fashion capitals? Lugging her overflowing closet across the country doesn't come cheap!
