Maybe you picked up a nasty scar on your forehead that won’t heal until spring. Maybe you’re starring in a hit TV series that requires you not change your look. Maybe your forehead is feeling pretty cold these days. For whatever reason, it might be time to make a temporary change. Thanks to Urban Outfitters, you can now add bangs to your ensemble in a matter of minutes—no scissors required. On sale now, the clip-on bangs are made from real human hair! This means you can torture them just as you do your own hair—styling by way of straightener, curling iron, or dye will not damage the locks (anymore than it damages your own hair).

Kate Bosworth arrives at Seoul's Incheon International Airport in a Proenza Schouler wool coat with leather elbow patches, paired with a flow-y black dress and lace-up boots. We’re guessing at $2,620, this gorgeous Proenza jacquard coat may be a tad out of your price range. So let’s work a little magic and get Kate’s look while flying clear of the quadruple-digit zone.

I get bored with my same ol' mug day in, day out. I like to experiment with different headbands, clips, hats, and hairstyles. I can't count how many times I've not been able to sleep in the middle of the night and decided to cut my bangs. I don't mess with the length, but I'm guilty of chopping the bangs more than a few times. By the way, I don't recommend this. Fortunately I know how to cut hair, which has kept me from looking like Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber. After the jump, spice up your mug this winter in a safer way with stylish yet wearable headpieces.

Like her designs, Jules Kim is sexy, intriguing, and a little dangerous. Her jewelry line Bijules is an assortment of daring bar rings and body jewelry that not only look good, but feel good. Wearing her work makes you feel like you can do anything and make anything happen, which is how Kim lives her own life. "My line is inspired by my life and the honesty of the experiences around me. I share air, space, beliefs, and ideas with many people so I'd like to be able to affect their lives as well with my work," says the designer. She's already affected a number of badass women across the globe, including some well-known divas like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and recently, Lou Doillon. And if that's enough, the powerhouse has quite a few more tricks up her sleeve: "I've recently launched Le Bij eco-friendly bar rings and also BJ by Jules Kim with Urban Outfitters. And the Bijules Haute collection will be released in Europe and Japan very shortly. I also have a new capsule collection in time for the holiday called Glacons and I'm in development for a few projects abroad in France and Italy!" How's that for motivation?

The next few weeks are bound to be long ones for die-hard fashionistas: First images from Lanvin's line for H&M have hit the web, but the much-ballyhooed collaboration doesn't go on sale until November 23rd. Four styles have been making the rounds: an asymmetrical cocktail dress, a tuxedo jacket, a trench, and a sleeveless dress covered in fabric folds. Each recalls recent Alber Elbaz designs as much as timeless Parisian staples. For better or worse (depending on whether you're H&M or an eager shopper), the clothes are practically guaranteed to send lines spiraling out of control come November. Not since Karl Lagerfeld's handiwork for the Swedish retailer has H&M hit the mark so dead center.
