Get The Winning Look From Our ‘Amber Rose’ Poll!

imageAmber Rose recently showed up at the Jamie Foxx celebrity event with a head full of big, voluminous curls. So of course we had to ask … Amber Rose – With hair or without?


After a weeks worth of neck to neck voting, they have been tallied and it seems like Hivers think that she’s just as beautiful with or without, but her shaved platinum look has eeked into first place!


And hair aside, we’re also digging Amber Rose’s sexy ensemble! We love the the hot pink strapless mini that she paired with nude platform pumps.

Bag of the Week – Asos Leather Portfolio

imageYou can’t just carry any bag when you’re all dressed up and ready for a night out.


A big bag is cumbersome and makes you look too serious and a cross-body bag is too casual. The perfect solution? A little clutch.


And we love this little leather one from Asos so much that we had to single it out. It has a simple shape with a flap closure and comes in a bright, turquoise color that’s sure to get everyone’s attention.


There’s no doubt you’ll love it too and feel like it’s the perfect complement to your LBD or floral number.

Emilio Pucci Vivara Variazioni Perfume

imageEnter the world of Emilio Pucci perfumes this season and you will undoubtedly think of the Mediterranean.


There are lush greens, deep blues and hot sandy beaches in this land and Pucci has created three vibrant scents to take you there with the Vivara Varianioni line.


Verde 072 is a lovely, fresh floral with a top note of mint leaf and citrusy bergamot. A hint of Turkish rose is at its heart and a woodsy cedar rounds it out. The stylish green Pucci print is classic and makes one think of the sunlight playing off the sea.


Acqua 330 is all about the water. The blue designed bottle contains a fragrance full of violet, jasmine and frangipani blossom with a delicate sea salt added. This on is all about the sun, sea and light.


Sabbia 167 is hot. It is hues of orange and pink and thoughts of sun reflecting off sandy Mediterranean beaches. It starts off soft and sweet with a mandarin breeze and comes together with sweet praline, Florentine iris and a base of sandlewood for a smooth and full scent.


Each Emilio Pucci Vivara Variazioni perfume is bottled and topped with a classic Pucci print that is a tribute to the gorgeous, sunny world of the Mediterranean.

Street Style – The Layers of Summer

imagePrancing around in demi-sheer blouses and flirty dresses is something we could do all season, but we must admit. We’ve been missing our layers.


Layers are a way for us to add texture and build our own style into an ensemble. Plus, as sunny as these days have been and as much as we’ve enjoyed these balmy nights, there is still the occasional cold front that has us reaching for our long cardigans and summer sweaters.


We’ve caught up with some of our favorite stylish bloggers and are inspired by their summer layers look! Check them out their styles then click on the slideshow to see our favorite pieces to emulate these blogger’s looks!
