We already know a few things about Vanessa Hudgens — how much we love her in the High School Musical movies, how well-dressed she always is and how adorable she is with boyfriend Zac Efron. But the star revealed 25 things about herself to SELF this month that you might not know, including tidbits on her fashion, beauty and workout habits. As far as shopping, she says her “biggest splurge was a purse from Louis Vuitton. Ashley Tisdale and I each got one in different colors when we were on tour in Mexico. We call it our friendship purse. I don’t want to say how much it cost. I don’t like revisiting that place.” But she will admit to loving shopping online (just like us!). “I’m an online shopaholic: ShopPlanetBlue.com, Shopbop.com, IntermixOnline.com. I love that you can see everything, rather than fishing through the racks. And the surprise of getting it in the mail is like a present to yourself.” And how does she keep herself looking so good in all her designer duds? “My secret to flat abs is pilates.” But she also loves the challenge of being in a class at the gym, saying “I like sitting in the front row of cycling class. I feel like everybody behind me is looking forward, and that pushes me to do my best. I look at myself in the mirror and get this really ferocious, angry look on my face like I’m about to kill someone. It’s crazy.” As for her beauty routine, she says less is more most of the time, “Sometimes I feel prettier without makeup. You take it off and you’re like, ‘Oh, there I am!’” But there are exceptions to every rule. “Red lips make me feel sexy. Put on red lipstick and it brings out the vixen in you.” Read more about Vanessa at SELF.com.

Vanessa Hudgens plays dress-up for the new issue of Glamour, on newsstands now, and gives them the dish on her style success. Unlike her High School Musical character who prefers more prim and proper clothing, the budding fashionista tells the magazine that she likes to “have fun with fashion.” The young star is already a “Christian Louboutin freak,” but promises she is not a label snob — in fact she loves more moderately priced lines like Free People. When looking to other starlets for style tips, Vanessa counts Mary-Kate Olsen, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie as her inspration. Check out the whole story at glamour.com.

We first spotted Nicky Hilton in her whimsical Vogue t-shirt earlier in the week, and then we spotted Ashley Tisdale in her equally adorable illustrated T-shirt yesterday on a shopping spree at Kitson. Turns out the hot tees come from Trash & Luxury, a glam new line by L.A. designer Hushi Mortezaie. It seems he got his quirky style from his mentor Patricia Field– the famed Sex & the City stylist responsible for SJP and cast’s outlandishly fashionable costumes. When it comes to his own line, Hushi Mortezaie designs T-shirts that meld a glamorous spirit with a hint of comfort– and what is more glamorous than Vogue? For the first Trash & Luxury collection, Hushi takes his inspiration from ’80s-era New York, the real-life dream world of Los Angeles, Hollywood by night — and a magazine that’s earned its own song. Love the Vogue tees? Get Ashley’s Trash & Luxury tops, $48, at shopkitson.com and Nicky’s, $48 , also at shopkitson.com

Taking a note from Rachel Bilson and Miley Cyrus, the High School Musical star has added blunt bangs to her long hair! The actress showed off her new ‘do on a rainy N.Y.C shopping trip yesterday. The thick bangs add some extra edge to Vanessa Hudgens’s already trendy style. We hope they don’t get too much longer, but for now we like the change. Tell us: What do you think of Vanessa Hudgen’s new bangs? Do you love them or hate them?

You could never accuse Ashley Tisdale of not changing up her look. First the High School Musical 3 star updated her natural nose, and now she’s swapped her trademark honey-blonde locks for a lighter look. Ashley turned up at Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew last night, with back-up dancer boyfriend Jared Murillo in tow, debuting light blond locks streaked with platinum highlights. We think the style is perfect to welcome in spring, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: Do you like Ashley’s lighter color, or should she stick with a deeper hue?
