Hot In The Hive: KIKKERLAND Knock Off Lamp

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI recently went bowling with a group of friends and had a funny feeling that I’d get the lowest score of the night. It didn’t help that one friend had his very own custom bowling ball and another had a charming hop to his bowling technique. While I had a few spares, many of my attempts landed in the gutter. Not to worry! I still had a great time and actually scored better than I expected. So while I was scouring the web to look for a new table lamp today, I was surprised to find the KIKKERLAND Knock Off Lamp from Revolve. No it’s not that kind of a knock off. It’s because you won’t find an on/off switch on this lamp. Instead, standing it upright will turn it on and knocking it on its side will turn it off. Guess this is one time when you don’t want to be knocking pins down unless you want a pitch black room!

Price: $32

imageI think as “fashionistas”, we would all love to keep up on the latest “It” bag, dress like the latest “It” girls and always wine and dine at the latest “It” restaurants and lounges. With technology and society going as fast as it is, however, the latest “It” is always changing too.

Longchamp is introducing their “It” bag, a durable, practical and super-chic tote that you know it an “It” bag because…. well, it says so!

Hot In The Hive: Dior Addict Spinning Lip Polish

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI know what you’re thinking — what’s so “hot” about a regular tube of Dior lip gloss? Yeah, it’s pretty… but it’s also pretty expensive. What you may not be able to tell from this photo of a seemingly “regular tube of Dior lip gloss” is that the Dior Addict Lip Polish has undergone a rather unusual upgrade. In the spirit of bizarre new beauty gizmos like illuminating tweezers and vibrating mascara (which just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, in my opinion), what used to be just your average sponge swab applicator is now a spinning “magic wand.” Yes, folks — the applicator rolls as you glossify, to apparently help you channel the application techniques of expert makeup artists (you know, just in case you have some kind of wrist deformity that won’t allow you to manually mimic the action on your own). For $30 a pop, even a gloss addict like myself isn’t convinced that my pucker is going to look much more “pro status” from this beauty tech boost, but hey — I guess I shouldn’t knock it till I’ve tried it!

Price: $29.50

Hot In The Hive: Missoni Brings Back The Bean Bag Chair

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf the silly (and not especially comfortable) trend known as the bean bag chair has already had its “comeback” in the realm of popular home furnishings, I guess I wouldn’t have been the first to know. After all, I probably haven’t “relaxed” in one since I was in preschool, where they could be found slumped in various corners of the room, misshapen and abused by rowdy children and patched back together with duct tape in the places where they had inevitably sprung a messy leak of styrofoam “beans.” Yuck. Who in their right mind would try to bring back those sad sacks? Why, Missoni, that’s who! But wait — these aren’t just any bean bag chair. With their soft and comfy exterior, eclectic patterns and coloring, and wide variety of shapes and sizes, these bean bags are the old garbage bag version’s much chicer younger cousin. Could it be that Europe’s home decor experts are turning an out-dated uncomfortable fad into the ultimate combo of laziness and luxury? Check out the selection at dotmaison.com and see for yourself!

Price: 377.00 GBP

Hot In The Hive: Swarovski-Crusted XBox Microphone Set By Crystal Roc

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageA little bling never hurt… unless of course you decide to spend a whole month’s rent on that little extra dazzle. Apparently Crystal Roc, known for their Swarovski bling-embellished musical equipment and the most gloriously bedazzled sets of headphones I’ve ever laid eyes on, is now targeting the fashionable video gamers/musician wannabes in addition to their professional singing clientele (including the likes of Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Leona Lewis). Made for the popular XBox singing game Lips, and also compatible with select versions of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, this limited edition studded mic set is due out later this year and destined to have gaming gals channeling their inner pop diva. But based on the size of its rumored price tag, I’m thinking that maybe those rare 100 sets reported to be in circulation are best saved for those who already have a comparable income to spend on such lavish geeky luxuries. After all, you can’t exactly moonlight as an open mic XBox singer to help pay for them (but maybe some day).

Price: $680
