TheFind Keeps It Hot In Cozy Couture!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageYou’ve probably noticed that sweater dresses are everywhere at the moment, and most of them are pretty short – perfect for this season’s over-the-knee boots, especially with a pair of cute tights. If you want a great selection of sweater dresses in multiple styles, check out the what we have to offer – that’s where I got this V-necked grey sweater dress, which is very comfortable and flattering to boot – and many other styles, colors and designs, too! I love this trend, but I think you have to be careful with it if you’re the kind of person who usually gets warm indoors and wants to take off your sweater. Last thing you want is to be sitting there sweating in the office all day. Or even a looser, more flowing style would help you stay cooler. If it’s long enough, you can also lose the leggings or tights. However you style it, this is one trend you’ll be able to get a lot of mileage out of!

Keep Your Locks Luxe This Season With These Winter Hair Products!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf you’re a diehard fashionista, you’ve probably already been at work planning your holiday party outfits long before the invites arrived in your Gmail inbox, or maybe even revolving your holiday wishlist around your New Year’s Eve getup-to-be. As a beauty fiend, however, I’ve been thinking long and hard about what to do with my hair! I’ve already got the killer sequined dress and the never-ending supply of makeup, but the rapidly declining temperature has really got my thirsty locks needing help. Long, shiny and straight, glossy curls, or soft romantic waves — no matter what style I decide on for the Christmas cocktail party at hand, a conditioned coif is the first step. If you’re hair is naturally thin and the dry air is doing nothing to liven it up, try out Phyto’s Phytovolume Volumizing Shampoo that is designed to condition and lift a limp, weather-wearied ‘do. And if you live in a harsh wintry climate (or plan on hitting the slopes for vacay sometime soon), consider John Frieda’s Weather Works Sealant Creme for keeping your style in place despite the snow, sleet, and hail! Check the slideshow for some more winter hair must-haves to protect from breakage, dryness, and other cold weather woes!

Gadget Gifts For The Loveable Nerds In Your Life!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLiving so close to Silicon Valley, it’s no wonder that all my best guy friends have some varying degree of nerdiness. And just so you know, the rumors about nerds being socially awkward are totally untrue. (For the most part, anyway!) Whether it’s obsessions about Apple products to Star Wars memorabilia, they’re surprisingly hard to shop for because they already have everything they’re obsessed with. So my job is to find something either really unexpected or something that they need and will never get for themselves. For something unexpected, I’d like to give the Chumby One to any of my friends who are addicted to knowing the latest sports scores, Twitter, the weather, and just the internet in general. I’ve also gotten lost with a few of my friends while out driving so someone unlucky on the roads would be a perfect candidate for a GPS navigator like the TomTom ONE. Take a look at my slideshow for more tech gift ideas he’ll love and appreciate!

Shoe Of The Week: Rosegold “Halle” Suede Stud Booties

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI won’t lie — I’ve been known to kick-start the party on more than one previously-empty dance floor. And of course, I’m always down to incorporate some kind of eye-catching shine into my wardrobe, whether it’s in the form of sequins, studs, or a statement necklace. I would say that it’s this inner Beyonce in me that makes me attracted to these embellished booties, but realistically I think just about any fashionable gal could pull these off, whether or not you’re in love with the limelight. The Rosegold “Halle” Suede Stud Booties come in both black and gray suede — perfect for holiday parties and New Years’ festivities — and have the perfect amount of light-reflecting shimmer with its adjustable fold-over cuff without looking over-the-top biker babe or hardcore rocker chick like other stud-happy styles. If you’re looking for a shiny new pair of booties for the end-of-year, these are edgy yet wearable enough to carry you through the season and not just till the 2010 ball drops!

What: the Rosegold “Halle” Suede Stud Cuff Booties
Price: $295
Where to Buy: Bloomingdale’s
Who: xgalexy was the first to add the Rosegold “Halle” Suede Stud Cuff Booties to the Hive.

Stay Toasty Like A Marshamallow In Puffer Coats And Vests!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageRemember in high school when all the cool kids wore those puffy jackets and vests during the winter? The more you resembled the Michelin Man the better, it seemed, but although the puffer jacket silhouette may be a little too much these days, there’s no denying that puffy outerwear kept you as warm as a toasted marshmallow. The thing is, we would all still like the comfort and warmth that comes with these designs, without actually having to look like a marshmallow. Surprisingly versatile, they look fashionable with simpy jeans and boots. Puffy outerwear allows you to layer on as much or as little as you need to underneath and these days, you can find styles that are still puffy, but sleeker than the versions that we all wore just a few years back. So go ahead and bring back the oh-so-comfortable and undeniably cool puffer jackets and vests of our youth by clicking on the slideshow!

Hot In The Hive: Vosges Haut Chocolat Mini Exotic Chocolate Bar Library

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhat’s a good way to relax and spend some quality quiet time alone this winter? Curling up with a good book under a snuggly comforter near the fireplace and maybe sipping on something hot and sweet. What would make this cozy scenario even better? If the books themselves were made of chocolate. While not all of us may love literature, we can all appreciate chocolate bars! Vosges Haut Chocolat is a high-quality candy company that makes everything from classic truffles to wild chocolates like the legendary Bacon Bar. The Vosges Haut Chocolat Mini Chocolate Library comes with a selection of tastes including classic milk and dark as well as an exotic flavors collection that include Oaxaca and something known only as “Woolloomooloo.” This mini chocolate bar library comes in a cute box with a ribbon and definitely resembles a row of books… until you open each of the individually wrapped bars and devour them. It’s a perfect gift or stocking stuffer for the chocolate lover/bookworm in your life!

Price: $25.00
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Vosges Haut Chocolat Mini Chocolate Library to the Hive.

Bake Christmas Cookies In Style In An Adorable Anthropologie Apron!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageYes, I do a little bit of baking. I’ll even cook at times if I need to. While I’m not claiming to be a domestic goddess by any means, I can at least look the part while preparing for upcoming holiday parties. Recently I made a fantastic purchase in hopes of it inspiring me to become an overnight chef success. Anthropologie’s 3-D Toile Full Apron is a pretty sweet deal! It’s not your grandmother’s “kitchenwear” either. The apron I bought has gorgeous ruffles and ruching; I found myself not wanting to take it off when I was done baking. I wore it this past Thanksgiving, while I whipped up my pumpkin gingerbread trifle. My dessert was a hit, but that didn’t mean I came out of the kitchen unharmed. Thank god the apron was machine washable! Holiday cookie time is upon us, and I plan on wearing it to protect my clothing. The apron is so cute; I swear it makes me want to find another excuse to wear it. Maybe I’ll attempt a roast… with the number of a good take-out places within my reach! Head over to WhatsWear for more festive finds for a fashionable holiday season!

Get Into The Holiday Spirit With Festive Home Decor!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI really love the holidays. All the stores are playing my favorite Christmas songs, coffee shops have special holiday themed drinks, and the overall sentiment of goodwill and cheer is as infectious as H1N1. Unfortunately, my home still looks like it’s summer with linen pillows on my sofa and patio furniture still hanging out in the backyard. So it’s definitely time to have my house catch up with the holiday season. That doesn’t mean I’m covering my home with reindeer and snowmen though! I can’t wait to add a few faux fur throws to cozy up to when the nights get chilly. The holidays are also a time where guests come and go through my front doors so these holiday guest towels would be perfect in my bathroom. Take a look at my slideshow to see more decor items that will get you ready for the holidays!
