We Adore Alice + Olivia Dresses!

imageEver since it was launched back in 2002, the Alice + Olivia brand became the buzz of the fashion world.

Fab Collab! – Fashiontoast x DANNIJO Jewelry

imageWe at Stylehive love when two fashion forces combine to make one lust-inducing collaboration, like the limited edition six-piece jewelry collection by Fashion Toast blogger Rumi Neely and DANNIJO’s Danielle and Jodie Snyder. Together, they took Neely’s rocker girl street style and DANNIJO’s creative use of metal to create a line of edgy, but absolutely girly, jewelry pieces that include hammered-metal rings, necklaces and cuffs that all have delicate and sweet embellishments (kind of like Neely who we just might have a girl-crush on).



The collection is available now, exclusively on Tobi.com and is priced from $40 to $250. Check out the mini slideshow to take a look for yourself!

TheFind Interviews’ Fabricated [Los Angeles]’ Designers Gemma Aguiar and Ashley Vanni

imageFashion surrounds my everyday life, with what I do, what I wear, and what I don’t wear. So sometimes it is nice to just throw something on without starring into my closet with that ever present quintessential thought of ‘I have nothing to wear’. At times I want an easy outfit, nothing fussy, something kick back, but I absolutely will not be a bum, I have to add an element of me in there somewhere!


So when I was introduced to Fabricated [Los Angeles], I knew I had found something special – something that met my easy, yet chic requirements! The casual, fun vibe of the mostly t-shirt line is exactly what I’m looking for on any given day chic is required, but sequins are out of the question.

Label Love: Elizabeth & James Jewelry Keeps It Simple This Season

imageYou’re probably already familiar with Elizabeth & James, if not for the fact that the line is the design-child of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, then certainly for their slew of overpriced (yet still totally covetable) shoes at Shopbop. But did you know that the duo also does jewelry! Usually our jewelry designer spotlights involve labels that really love extravagance — opulent bib necklaces, jewels and feathers galore… Such is not the case for Elizabeth & James’ latest jewelry collection. For Spring/Summer 2010, they opted to keep things simple yet chic: a classy color palette of silver and gold, with nary a bib nor bead in sight! The collection takes on a decidedly Southwestern feel, with feather motifs, arrows shapes, and even dangling snake earrings, but overall the pieces seek to add a subtle dash of shine, not make or break your whole outfit. Take a look at the slideshow for some featured pieces from the latest collection!

Hot In The Hive: Hermes Enamel Bracelets

image“Made In Austria” never looked so French; nor flashy, nor most definitely irresistible. These shiny little jewels-of-bracelets by Hermes are just what the doctor ordered for a stylish summer. Casual as they are classy, the endless pairing possibilities of these pretty little bangles is just one of many reasons to fall in love with them. Each design of the palladium plated silver and gold hoops is a hit. Surprising, considering the over-30 styles ranging from intricate mosaic to simple Hermès-horse-and-buggy. Browsing them all online, is a breeze, as you can search by size, style or color until you find “the one”. Good luck, though- just one bracelet from the haute-est jewelry collection in a while will cost you more than a slap the wrist!

Price: $385.00 – $660.00
