The short, cropped coif coined "the bob" was invented exactly 100 years ago. According to the Telegraph, “the sexy, eye-catching cut was invented in 1909 by Parisian hairdresser Antoine de Paris, whose inspiration was Joan of Arc.” Now, a century after the hairstyle became the norm among flappers and domestics alike, it’s as popular as ever. Want proof? Anna Wintour, long considered one of the most powerful names in fashion, has been sporting hers since the dawn of time. (Karl Lagerfeld even paid homage to Wintour's signature hairstyle with his FW08 Chanel couture show, which featured a parade of models sporting cloned bob coifs). Jessica Alba just chopped her locks into a lengthier version. Meanwhile Katie Holmes (and offspring Suri) followed BFF Victoria Beckham’s lead in adopting the style months ago.

In a post yesterday, style blogger Tavi paid tribute to her teenage, fashion-blogging peers -- Cheetos Are Orange, Childhood Flames, Hand it Over, and Intellectuals Read Vogue Too, among others. The 12-year-old blogger I’ve mentioned in the past has serendipitously become the poster-child of pre-pubescent, style-loving online scribes. In the post, not only does she highlight half-a-dozen standout style blogs penned by an under-18 set -- Tavi defends the entire adolescent fashion-blogging community.
