Get Ready For Fall With Rad Motorcycle Jackets

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageYou know all those pretty little floral sundresses we’ve been advocating lately? Well, we wouldn’t want to leave you high and dry with a closet full of unwearable clothing come fall, so we’ve rounded up a handful of motorcycle jackets and vests to take those prints well into the cooler season, and possibly even winter (with black leather boots and opaque tights, of course). Some of the options veer towards the splurge-y side, but nice leather is one of those things worth spending on. We like the perforated leather (look really closely and you can see the tiny holes punched into it), on this jacket from Topshop. Click on over to The Frisky to see more motorcycle jackets fit for fall!

Hot In The Hive: Light Pillow

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFinally — the bookworm’s comfy, camouflaged alternative to the book light! This light-up pillow, designed by Linas Kutavicius, can be placed on the floor, on the bed, or even hung up as a unique wall lamp or chandelier! While I’m sure its inner metal frame keeps it from being quite as squishy and cuddly as the rest of your bed linens, its washable cover keeps the lamp soft and safe while you cozy up in your bedroom. Get your own at Generate Design. Just don’t get any crazy ideas about a glow-in-the-dark pillow fight; I’m not certain the fixture is quite that multifunctional…

Price: $189

Keep Your Kitchen Looking Cute!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageMama always said the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Knowing how to prepare a good meal can be pretty sexy — not to mention fun, and more importantly, tasty! When something like food is always on the brain, there’s nothing better than someone who can cure your fix with the steady use of a few tools. Cooking isn’t always simple: there’s a lot of prep and a lot of heart to it. Dressing it all up can make it a bit easier. Style you can wear can be just as important as style you can use, as both can be as expressive as Grandma’s fresh-baked apple pie. Even the best recipe for success will suffer if you don’t have the stuff to keep your kitchen stocked and happy. If you’ve got a knack for crafting with stoves, pots and knives, or like me, like to pretend you do, check out these cute picks for showing people just how cute you can be in your kitchen!

The Crop Top: Love it or Lose it?

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIn the fashion world, it’s “what is old is new again” all of the time. Everywhere I turn, it seems like the cropped top is one of those “new” old trends that’s coming back with a vengeance! They were on the runways (Alexander Wang & Victoria Bartlett, for instance), in tons of editorials, and now it seems like the lynch pin of ’90s fashion is even popping into stores! After years of t-shirts and tops getting longer and longer, are we ready to raise the shirt hemline, bare the midriff again, and show off some skin? While the trend seems sexily adorable on tall Eastern European models in the pages of Vogue, is it going to be able to translate to mere mortals? Crop tops can be a great option with high-waisted pants and skirts, as you don’t have to tuck in all that excess fabric. But what happens with tighter pants? What’s going to hide a woman’s worst enemy… the muffin top? Just the thought of wandering the city streets with my belly bare makes me want to lock myself in my apt with my ab roller!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: Cia.Maritima

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWell, if someone’s gotta bring the Latin flavor to the Mercedes Benz SWIM runway, it might as well be Brazilian beachwear designer Cia.Maritima! The show started off relatively slow, giving us a glimpse of some undoubtedly unique yet demure-looking prints that resembled a sort of desaturated stained glass pattern. However, things slowly began to simmer with the introduction of vivid ombre string bikinis and how-long-can-you-go bottoms, and then reached an eventual boiling point with the parade of barely-there leopard, zebra, and python-printed ensembles that left everyone feeling hot, hot, hot! Don’t get me wrong, the runway wasn’t all a parade of skin and snakeskin. The designer wowed with an impressive array of coverups in every cut and color — full-length tunics, sexy sarongs, flowing mini and maxi dresses, and even a pair of silky sheer pants. Take a look at some of the highlights in the slideshow! Photo Credit: Getty Images for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Hot In The Hive: Beer In A Boot For Father’s Day!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFather’s Day is a step around the corner and I never know what to get my dad! I crossed ties off the list many years ago (he made me), he probably has bathrobe and slipper sets to last him two lifetimes, and all those cool gadgets and grill tools that my brother and I were gonna go halfsies on? He’s already bought them for himself! So, I think this year, I will go for a gift that’s something fun mixed with something a little traditional. Most men like beer… maybe even borderline love. Men have loved beer throughout the ages so much that German soldiers would drink it out of their boots, rather than not drink it at all! So this Father’s Day, get your dad the gift of tradition and beer with a glass beer boot from HomeWetBar! These glass boots hold up to 18 oz of beer which is about half a liter. Not big enough? They also come in two liter boot sizes! Dad may be sick of getting house slippers, but here’s some footwear that he’ll love to get out and use again and again! At $20 each, get a pair of beer boots and join your father for a Father’s Day brewski!

Price: $19.95
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the 18 oz Beer Boot to the Hive.

Hot In The Hive: UVSunSense Sun Monitor Wristbands

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageTime flies when you’re having fun in the sun. One minute you’re happy as a clam, playing volleyball or reading a book on the beach, the next you’re stomping down the aisles at Walgreens in search of aloe for that gnarly sunburn you’ve earned. You already know that too much sun exposure is harmful, and you’ve had enough peeling shoulders in your time to recognize the importance of sunscreen, but even the most seasoned of sun-baskers have a hard time keeping of track of their last sunscreen application or even knowing exactly when it’s time to call it a day and take cover. Enter UVSunSense sun monitoring wristbands. Worn on your wrist in addition to a nice slathering of SPF 15 or higher, the band’s surface changes color to alert you when it’s time to either slop on some more sunscreen or find the nearest shady spot ASAP. Sure, they might be a pretty dorky-looking excuse for a bangle, but they look a heck of a lot cooler than a blistering lobster complexion!

Price: $6.89 for a pack of 7
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the UVSunSense Wristbands to the Hive.
