Steal Her Style: Blake Lively’s Summery Hamptons Look

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageBlake Lively is one of the most stylish starlets in Tinseltown — and she doesn’t work with a personal stylist. The outfit she recently wore to QVC’s Super Saturday charity shopping event in the Hamptons was molto bene and perfect for a breezy summer day. Blake paired a form-fitting white mini by Herve Leger with a tailored blue-and-white-striped Oxford, and the classic preppiness of the shirt balanced the raciness of the eensie-weensie skirt. She finished the look with a pair of brown patent round-toe pumps and a long chain necklace. Here’s how you can get her look for way less, courtesy of Lemondrop!

1. Elizabeth and James Schoolboy Shirt: This menswear-inspired shirt features ruched sleeves and back buttons to keep it looking fitted, not boxy. $264
2. Forever 21 Cut Off Denim Skirt: A crisp white skirt like this can be worn to a daytime BBQ or as an impromptu beach cover-up. $20
3. Matisse Pump: A thick wooden heel and shiny patent upper combine to make this pump a true eye-catcher. $42
4. Sequin Long Chain Necklace: Add some funky style to a more classic look with a fun, tiered chain necklace like this gorgeous silver version. $40

Rock Sexy Stripes Like Leighton Meester

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the Teen Choice Awards, Leighton Meester rocked a fashion-forward look that was both sweet and sexy. The “Gossip Girl” star wore a funky striped dress from Louis Vuitton, which was accented with ruffle details adding a flirty sensibility. She gave the look a sexy kick with red Brian Atwood pumps and an edgy black cuff by Cathy Waterman and rounded out the mix with a dainty pair of earrings. Stripes are super hot right now and can work for anyone, no matter your style. When wearing graphic prints, it’s usually best to keep everything else relatively simple to avoid sensory overload. You can pair a striped frock with a few standout pieces like Leighton, go bold with piles of accessories, or keep it simple and team it with basic pumps. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get Leighton’s look!

Hershey Signature Spa Products Are A Chocolate Lover’s Dream Come True

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageRich with antioxidants and full of feel-good serotonin boosters, chocolate has long been a revered delight. The Aztecs used it in their powerful rituals and today it is a sinfully delicious treat (and a sometimes guilty pleasure). World-famous chocolatier Hershey has introduced its own Signature Spa product line to round out its Chocolate Spa experience. The six products in its complete Cocoa Facial Line include a creamy cocoa cleanser, a mint lip shot, cooling eye cream, cocoa facial moisturizer, chocolate almond facial scrub and a delicious cocoa mint clay masque. Each is chock-full of the soothing yet revitalizing chocolate scent. If that’s not enough for the chocoholic in your life (or yourself), then the Cocoa Bean body scrub along with Cocoa lotion, massage oil, body wash and bath bars will surely give them their fix! When you’re done browsing through chocolate spa bliss, head over to The Find for more must-have new beauty products!

Hot In The Hive: Sephora Brand Color-Dipped Brushes

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIn the market for some new makeup brushes but just can’t seem to be able to tell all the costly, separately-functional tools apart from each other? The big fluffy one is probably for your face, got it. But this little bristly one… is that for your eyes? Eyeliner? Crease? Huh? I know, the realm of brushes can be complicated, but thankfully someone made things simpler and more multi-tasking friendly… not to mention cheerfully colorful! These Sephora Brand Color-Dipped Brushes aren’t just fun to look at — they’re actually color-coded based on their function. And since each brush is double-sided, that’s two functions in one. From the fluffy pink Complexion Brush (one side for powder and one for concealer) and the precise purple Smokey Eye Brush (eyeliner applicator and smudging tool) along with 3 others, you can more easily tell all of your meticulous brushes apart from each other, get more bang for your buck with their double ends, and have a way cuter brush collection than your friends!

Price: $18-35
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Sephora Brand Color-Dipped Brushes to the Hive.

Don’t You Dare Call These Tees Basic!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWe love our basics, we really do… but we’d be lying if we said they were the most exciting things in our closets. Sure, that American Apparel v-neck goes with 18 other outfits (and that’s just the grey one) but honestly, it’s kind of boring on its own, right? Why not swap out those boring basics with tees that have just a little something extra? Tiny embellishments transform plain tees from reliable standbys to fashionable favorites in their own right, and they’re just as versatile as ever. Take this jersey tank from Casual Couture by Green Envelope- from the front, it’s a simple, well-cut top, but the back features an exposed zipper that will add a little edge to any outfit. The pearl tee from Sauce is a girly spin on everyone’s favorite slouchy pocket tee, and J. Crew’s jeweled tissue tee practically has a statement necklace built in and would look perfect paired with everything from scruffy boyfriend jeans to a polished skirt and blazer. See the slideshow for your new favorite basics!

Not So Baby Blue Make-Up Choices!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe fall transition is bittersweet. One the one hand, it’s time to take advantage of new fall clothing and makeup trends, and on the other hand, you’re giving up sweet, glorious summer! Transitional clothing is difficult — but the make up sure can be fun! I recommend going for some more electric blue in your eye and nail palette! The brights will give you just a little bit of lift, and the blow will definitely be softened when you switch to navy nail shades for true fall. I love the MakeUp Forever Glitters in Metallic Blue for a vampy, going out on the town look. Mixing the gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Tresor d’Afrique palette for eyes will definitely soften the electric blue for daytime, but you’ll still have a kick. For the nails, you definitely can’t go wrong with OPI shades, especially Blue My Mind. Check out my slideshow for more ways to electrify your transition makeup!
