But seriously though. While we love the leather look here at StyleHive, we definitely love ourselves some bling even more. It’s true. Who doesn’t love a little sparkle and flash? It’s an easy way to brighten up a billowy shirt or break up the look of a form fitting dress. Wear it casual or dressy. You’ll look hot.

It’s just a fun accessory to throw on when you want to add some dimension to your outfit without looking over the top. So get your sexy on.

Who Found It – SusanY was the first to add the ‘Gold Metal Bar Belt‘ to the Hive.

The strappy backless detailing is sensual and edgy without showing too much. Anyone can wear a top and some leggings, but with this hot little number, you’ll be sure to stand out in a crowd!

Who Found It – Idabone was the first to add the ‘ASOS Slash Back Unitard‘ to the Hive.

Banana Republic, the maker of eternally classic pieces, makes a wonderful scarf wrap with a large white and blue paisley pattern on a light cotton. Paisley is a classic and versatile pattern that spices up solids but works with a small stripe print or faint plaid.

This scarf in rich navy with large scale paisley will look right on trend with a solid white shirt dress, flowing maxi, or a peasant skirt and tank. When the weather cools off, wrap it around your neck under a leather jacket with jeans and riding boots. Tres chic!
Just remember … When it comes to scarves and cheese, the French are never wrong.

The rest of the year, I carry a big black leather purse that can fit just about anything, but as soon as the sun starts shining daily and the clothes start stripping off (oooh, yeah!) – as in the summer dresses and shorts come out – then the thought of carrying a black bag just doesn’t work. That’s why I’m drawn to the Holey Grommet Bucket Bag.

While it’s not real leather (that might be a good thing), it’s also therefore not too costly. And it’s cream-colored so it matches every warm-day outfit and best of all, it’s big and spacious!

That means I can carry around water, makeup, my wallet and keys … a beach cruiser bike chain. You know, the essentials you need for a good, memorable summer. Look out sunny days. Here I come!

This maxi will become quickly an staple in your closet – neutral colors, flattering shape and a subtle pattern. Tie-dye done well is lovely, bohemian, and delightfully nostalgic, bringing back the best of the Flower Children without all of the patchouli-masked body odor and acid flashbacks. Worn with Lennon-inspired shades, Frye college boots, and a jean jacket, you€™ll look like the cream of the Deadhead crop.

The beautiful thing about maxis is their chameleon-like shape shifting. Although going retro is an eternally fun option, this dress can be fancied up with heels, down with gladiator sandals, over a bathing suit, under a boyfriend-cut blazer or a cropped Angela Chase sweater.

Once you put it on, you will wear it into the ground. Much like your beloved blue jeans.
