TheFind Says: I Love My iHome!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI consider myself pretty technologically advanced. I have a cute little MacBook Pro sitting on my desk at home, and our flat screen Sony Bravia is linked to my boyfriend’s computer so that we can watch movies on the TV through his laptop. I have an iTouch and a Blitz (maybe that last one doesn’t technically make me savvy, but cuteness must be factored in somewhere to this equation). And yet, with all my bells and whistles, I still felt something was missing. Then, I found her. The iHome LED color-changing speaker system was just the friend I was looking for. I can rotate through multiple colors if I’m feeling psychedelic, or settle her on white and listen to Death Cab for Cutie if I’m feeling mellow. Another awesome feature? The iHome charges your iPod while you listen, so instead of getting dead batteries when you’re reading to transfer from home to travel, you’re all souped up and ready to go.

Tone Down The Shimmer This Season With Matte Grey Makeup Shades

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSay so long to pearlescent gunmetal and chromed-out silvers — matte grey is the hot beauty shade for the chilly season ahead! Matte nails have already taken the beauty world by storm, but now other makeup products are following in hot pursuit! From soft stone gray to rich chalky charcoal, there’s something about matte grey that gives the face an unexpected warmer look than the more common frosty silver shades. While I’ve noticed that grey shadow seems to bring the best out of green peepers, it’s hard to find someone who can’t pull off a dark slate eyeliner in place of your basic black. Plus, mattifying your lids leaves room for shimmer elsewhere (ie: cheeks or lips) and helps ensure a balance so that your face doesn’t end up looking like a shiny disco ball! Watch the slideshow for a series of grey shades to consider adding to your cosmetics collection!

For Less Than $50, You Can Stop Raiding Your Boyfriend’s Closet And Add To Your Own!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWomen have been secretly raiding their boyfriends’ and husbands’ closets for ages now. Finally, fashion has caught on and this trend, though relatively new, has been around for a few seasons which is ancient in the fashion world, and probably means it’s going to stick around for awhile. Boyfriend jeans, tees, and blazers have become very popular and it’s sure to stick around this fall and winter. With all the extra coverage and layers needed to keep you warm, staying stylish at the same time can prove to be a little more of a challenge. Our boyfriends’ closets, with their blazers, cardigans, jeans, and tees, are full or inspiration for staying fashionably cozy this fall, but he’ll be wanting to wear his own clothes for the same reasons! Check out the slideshow for some great boyfriend-inspired pieces for $50 or less that you can add to your own closet, instead of stealing from his!

Grazia Editors Squeeze Into Stella McCartney’s Gap Kids Collection

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageJealous of the kiddos that’ll have the opportunity to spill milk and cookies all over their new Stella McCartney for GapKids clothes? Now there’s something you can do about it… well, maybe. Racked has footage of (all grown up) Grazia editors squeezing their way into certain pieces from the collection, and before you dismiss them as completely crazy, take a moment and consider that a) when done right, this is kind of brilliant, and b) you’ve totally thought about doing the same thing. Besides, $78 for a Stella McCartney tuxedo jacket is a practically unheard of deal, recession or no recession, and I’m certain it’s no coincidence that the only sold-out sizes on gap.com are XL and XXL. Click over to Racked to watch the clip!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFrom over-the-knee and fold-over styles to peep-toe booties, few stores can deliver cute, cheap boots under $40. Enter Forever 21, a happy place we can always turn to when times are tough on the wallet yet ripe for fashion. Buckles, studs, cuffs and zippers can all be yours at these manageable prices.

Hot In The Hive: Revo Heritage Table Radio

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSure, retro “gadgets” may look cool in a stylishly old-fashioned sort of way, but when it comes to actually using them, our geeky reliance on modern-day tech has us too cyber-spoiled and impatient to put any effort in something that can’t keep up with our 3G speediness. The solution? A techie piece of equipment that just looks vintage, but packs all the convenient specs and capabilities of the most recent releases in the gadget world. The Revo Heritage Table Radio has the 60s-style walnut veneer surface, but boasts some seriously modern features in that retro-looking package: an iPod dock, WiFi for all your favorite internet stations, wireless streaming from your laptop, a remote control for maximum laziness, and even an alarm clock in case you doze off while listening to your tunes. It’s the perfect device for the music lover who may have an old soul… but secretly can’t live without a healthy dose of modern tech!

Price: 229,95 GBP
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Revo Heritage Table Radio to the Hive.

8 Bandage Booties And Pumps That’ll Have Your Feet Under Wraps!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSure, it’s always sad to see a once-hot trend overstay its welcome, but the good news is that some of our favorite styles don’t necessarily leave the racks forever — they just migrate to another department! What the Herve Leger bandage dress (or its more affordable counterparts) did for the body, the bandage bootie does for the feet (well, sort of). We won’t go as far as describing the footwear trend as “feet-con” in the spirit of “body-con,” but the thick-strapped look is similarly sexy in its banded, wrapped-up appearance. Put a sexy spin on the classic Mary Jane with this banded suede pump by Acne, or go strappy (and save!) with a multi-textured gladiator-style heel from Forever 21. Take a look at the slideshow for 8 varied takes on the bandage heel!
