Get The Party Started With Festive NYE Decor!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageChristmas and Hanukkah may have come and gone and I hope you’re not out returning gifts because it’s time to prepare for your New Year’s Eve celebration! If you’re hosting a shindig at your house to watch the countdown for the ball drop or you’re lucky enough to have a patio to see the fireworks, then your home has to match the festivities outside. Of course,you wouldn’t want to buy things you can only use once a year so the trick is to pick certain colors or finishes that evoke the feeling of New Year’s Eve. I’ve chosen some classic glass pieces as well as silver which can work all year round. I really like these shiny silver pillows that remind me of Andy Warhol’s Silver Clouds Installation. For a glass item, check out the Stelton Set Of Six Glass Coasters to protect all of your wood furniture. Check out my slideshow to see more!

Happy Holidays From Stylehive!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf I could send one e-present your way this jolly season, it would be this little piece of advice: keep your festive fashion “unmentionables” safely guarded. I don’t have any curious kids of my own, but I remember being an eager little tike myself, sneaking a peek at the tree late Christmas Eve and rummaging through closets for a glimpse of my gifts (okay, I still kinda do that). I never did have the experience of unearthing anything quite so private (I think I’d be scarred for life if I had)… but unfortunately for this mom, her secret’s out of the bag. Yikes! Click “See Video” for some laughs — may it serve as a lesson to us all! Happy holidays from all of your friends at Stylehive!

‘Tis The Season For Something Sparkly… Like Louis Mariette Hairbands!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageHoliday hairstyles are always a bit tricky. Most of us get our hair cut and styled in such a way that we can just wear it down without accessories, but at the holidays you kind of want something a little bit more festive. If you don’t want to be bothered with the full up-do you can just wear your hair down and accent it with a crystal embellished hairband — something sparkly and shiny. I’ve been buying a few hairbands here and there, but by far my favorites are from Louis Mariette, made with Swarovski crystals. They are elegant and understated, and the perfect addition for a bit of glittery glow to your LBD! Check back with The Find for more trends you can rock through the new year!

Look Like A Pretty Ice Princess With These Frosty Makeup Picks!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAside from the obvious sage greens and cranberry reds, the holiday season also conjures up thoughts of cool shimmery shades — frosty lilacs, icy blues, and snowy silvers and opals. So if red lipstick really isn’t your thing, you can still go the frosty route with your beauty routine and look just as festive! The key to cool shimmers, like any makeup trend, is to stick to one part of your face at a time and not overdo it — you don’t want to look like someone double-dog-dared you to stick your whole face to a frozen telephone pole! If And the best part? These sparkly shades are perfect for New Year’s Eve, too, and are wearable enough to take you through the winter season! View the slideshow to see how you can ice-out your makeup for the rest of the season!

Put Your Best Foot Forward This NYE In A Pair Of Satin Pumps!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageNothing says end-of-year cocktail party like a dazzling minidress, a glass of champagne, and a gorgeous pair of satin pumps! Usually reserved for weddings and other rather stuffy formal occasions, satin heels are becoming more and more party-appropriate with the help of trendy updates like platform soles, pleated details, and flirty ruffles. While the material lends itself to fancier holiday get-togethers, satin pumps are the perfect way to get festive without looking like a Christmas card or a gaudy New Year’s Eve centerpiece. Just take caution when braving the elements on your way to the party — there’s nothing like soggy soiled satin to start off the new year on a sour note! View the slideshow for 10 satin shoes worth toasting to!

Adorable Gifts For Your Baby’s First Holiday Season!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe sheer joy of having a little toddler or baby around the holidays is probably enough for most doting parents and family. Though the under-two set is typically more enthralled with the wrapping paper and cardboard boxes than with the toys themselves, there is something irresistible about those cute little baby clothes and toys that just make you want to shower them with gifts for their first holiday season. Remember the holidays by getting your little guy or gal their first Christmas tree ornament, and if you’re feeling especially sentimental, Target sells kits to make a baby imprint ornament of your cutie’s foot or hand. For the budding artist, get owl-shaped crayons, which are both cute and useful. For the fashionista, Stella McCartney for Baby Gap is still available so go pick up a cute pair of skinny jeans and a puff sleeve top that even the most chic mommy would want to wear. Don’t have time to put together the perfect baby gift? IncrediBundles.com lets you pick from tons of useful bundles of baby gifts, from all organic toys to memory bundles that come with a digital camera. Check out the slideshow for gifts to satisfy all the little ones’ wishes!

Bag Of The Week: Marc Jacobs Sparkling Clutch

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf I’m being honest, I’m not much of a clutch girl. After all, if I’m at a holiday party, I’d rather be stuck on the dance floor hugging my oversize hobo under my arm than give up a perfectly good drink-holding hand. But if anything has the ability to lure me into the unfamiliar when it comes to fashion, it’s sparkle! For example, this Marc Jacobs Sparkling Clutch may be tiny, but its shimmery diamond pattern is so elegantly twinkly, you can’t help but be drawn to it… like a dazzling disco argyle print. It’s perfect for holiday parties or a New Year’s Eve night out. Unfortunately, at almost $800, I think I’m destined to have a strictly “look but don’t touch” sort of relationship with this Marc Jacobs beauty… unless Santa’s feeling extra generous this year!

What: the Marc Jacobs Sparkling Clutch
Price: $790.25 (ouch)
Where to Buy: MyTheresa
Who: xgalexy was the first to add the Marc Jacobs Sparkling Clutch to the Hive.

Stylehive’s Stylescopes Show You How To Shine For The Holidays!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEveryone deserves their moment in the spotlight and the best way to be seen is to wear something eye-catching! The holiday season is the perfect time of year to pull out all stops and really dazzle the crowd with some stylish sparkle and shine! The stars are shining brightly, but not as brightly as you will in these glittering garments and accessories. We don’t need the stars to tell us that this is the season of friends, family and lots of fun mingling. A quick consultation, however, does help us see exactly which dazzling item will be perfect for our specific sign. Attention loving Leos would fare well in something that really glitters, like a dress or one-piece, to bask in the limelight. The more demure Aquarius is one of the most stylish signs, but may feel more comfortable with a sparkling accessory instead of head-to-toe glitz. The stars have helped us find which glittering fashion item would be just the right amount of shine for us while navigating the holiday party circuit. Click on the slideshow and find your shiniest way to dress to impress!
