Stylehive’s Stylescopes Bring Out Your Most Beautiful You!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAlthough everyone’s schedule is unique, we can all agree that they’re busy and hectic and chock full of errands and deadlines. Rushing around and trying to accomplish ten things at once can make it hard to find time to always look our best, or at least look pulled together and in control. Planet alignment shows it being an extra hectic week, with school sessions just starting, seasons changing, and 101 work and social activities to tend to. In a busy world like ours, it’s hard to find time to always have on a full face of make-up before we venture out to do anything. And honestly, a fully painted face is just too much sometimes and should be reserved for special occasions and wild nights out. Let the stars guide you to your one must-have beauty product that will keep you looking fresh and ready and perfectly appropriate for whatever life throws at you this week! Scorpios, a little red lipstick will add some va-va-voom to your day. Leos, play up those flashing eyes with dramatic mascara! Check out the slideshow to see what the stars have chosen as your go-to beauty product for when you’re on the go!

Turmeric Steps Out Of The Kitchen And Into Your Beauty Kit!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageTurmeric has jumped from the kitchen spice rack and onto the bathroom shelf! With its peppery flavor and spicy aroma, what place does it have in your skin creams and cleansers? Aside from its traditional culinary uses, the medical and cosmetic benefits of Turmeric date back to ancient times. It has the powerful ability to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, get rid of blemishes, and also help protect skin from free radicals and toxins. It’s often used as a skin softener in Asia, mixed into a paste with milk cream, sandalwood powder and Rosewater and applied to the body. But forget mixing a home paste! Turmeric is now available in a large variety of new face and body products. Use a skin-brightening polish to take your skin from dull to radiant, or an Indonesian face mask to even out skin tone and draw out impurities. For cleansers to detox supplements and all beauty products in between – check out the slideshow for some Turmeric-based products!

My Sugarland: Your One-Stop Destination For UK Designers!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhy is it that Brits always seem to have it better when it comes to fashion? Maybe it’s just that they have a much cooler and edgier selection of designers and boutiques. The boutique My Sugarland, brainchild of stylist Zoe Lem, has been a favorite haunt of London’s fashionistas and a mandatory stop-by every time I’m overseas. They have the best selection of hard to find Brit designers such as a PPQ, Steve J & Yoni P, and Belle Sauvage, just to name a few. Now, for all of us non-Londoners, we’re in luck since they’ve opened the cyber doors of their online store. They have easy navigation tabs to help you find exactly what you’re looking for and they offer styling tips and secrets (so maybe we do have a chance of getting that effortless Kate Moss-esque street style)! It’s one seriously fashionable one-stop online shop!

Video Style Steal: Taylor Swift Goes From Geek To Chic In “You Belong With Me”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAlthough her big VMA moment may have been stolen from her, I’m more than ready to give Taylor Swift her much-deserved video props! After all, it takes some serious talent to make a role as the ultimate bookworm as heartwarmingly adorable as she does. In her award-winning video “You Belong With Me,” Taylor goes geeky and shows that you don’t need to be cheer captain to win over the quarterback — just be your adorable girl-next-door self! She’s so endearing, in fact, that I’m ready to break out my inner nerd in hope of finding my own Prince Charming! Cady in “Mean Girls” learned the hard way that disguising your smart side is no way to make a guy swoon, so take after Taylor and embrace your closet geek in a modest button-up blouse or marching band jacket… then go glam in a gorgeous night-out dress that’ll wow them when they least expect it! Click “See Video” to watch Taylor’s cutest video to date, then scroll through the slideshow for some looks that’ll take you from your desk to the dance floor! Photo Credit: MTV.com

Stylish (And Philanthropic) Eyeglasses Fit For Fashionistas

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageYou can feel good about getting your new eyeglasses from GlassesUSA because they’re not just in it for profit, they want to help those less fortunate too. Any eyeglasses that are returned to GlassesUSA aren’t restocked like in other optical stores, but are donated to organizations around the U.S. that sanitize them and distribute them to people all over the world who need glasses but can’t afford vision care. If you’ve worn prescription eyeglasses for any length of time, you know that seeing properly is not just a luxury but a necessity. EyeglassesUSA is committed to making sure that as many people as possible have correct vision. The company has two offices: one in New Jersey, and the other in Israel. Prescription eyeglasses are produced at both sites in order to bring the newest available styles to customers as quickly as possible. One of the benefits of new glasses (besides better vision!) is that a new pair of glasses is almost like a makeover. The right eyeglass frames can take your look from edgy to professional to fashion forward, and eyeglasses are much more fun to try on than most things. To read more and for an exclusive discount, head on over to our friends at Couture and the City!

Wardrobe Wish List: JCrew’s Slub Cotton Crystal Necklace Tee

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOkay, I, like most girls, love to dress up. I love zipping up a sexy dress, painting on some dramatic cat eyes, and slipping into some sky-high heels. But I also have those weekends when I am so burnt out, running from class to work to the gym, that I rather curl up in my pajamas and hide under the covers all weekend then spend an hour putting together an outfit. That’s why I couldn’t be more ecstatic that t-shirts are formal this fall. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius and my new favorite person. There are so many options (these tees are literally everywhere, which means you can find them in any price range), but my favorite is the Slub Cotton Crystal Necklace Tee from J Crew. It’s ultra classy and chic, while still being unbelievably comfortable and wearable at the same time. Sure, the price tag is a little steep ($49.50 to be exact), but considering the amount of times I’m going to wear this thing (when I finally get my paws on it), it will be totally worth it. What makes it even better is that with this one addition to my wardrobe I have enough new outfit combos to get me through every weekend in fall. Click over to our friends at CollegeCandy for more!

Get Edgy With The Diesel Home Collection

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDiesel may be best known for their fabulous jeans, but it looks like they expanding their empire into home decor too. In particular, their home textile collection caught my eye. From eye-catching sheets, studded towels (whoa), and not your grandma’s sofa covers, they definitely don’t like like something you bought from Martha Stewart! The clever tromp l’oeil prints are super realistic and give the illusion that the pillow are tufted, and the sheets appear rumpled. You may have to explain to your parents that you did make your bed when they visit and I’m having a hard time imagining how I’d use a studded towel to dry myself off… but hey, at least it all looks cool! I can imagine die hard Diesel fans, rock stars, and edgy home decorators like Kelly Wearstler gravitating towards this collection. Available in select Diesel stores and other boutiques, check out their collection in my slideshow!

Hot In The Hive: Social Media Throw Pillows

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageYou could say I’m on top of the whole social media trend. With Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and other sites, I’m always in the know about what my friends are doing, the latest insider sales, and celeb gossip (sometimes right from the source!). My laptop and iPhone are littered with apps that are supposed to streamline my time on the Web sites, but sometimes I still get overwhelmed. Sure I get stressed when Britney doesn’t personally reply to my tweet or I consider unfriending someone on Facebook, but at the end of the day, these Web sites are just for fun and we shouldn’t forget the power of face-to-face interactions. So when I need to relax I think I’ll reach for a social media pillow straight from Etsy user Craftsquatch! I know what you’re thinking: a social media pillow? They’re super fun handmade pillows with the logos of your favorite Web sites and even applications– like Photoshop! So the next time Facebook stops loading or the Twitter fail whale shows up, go ahead and hug your throw pillow and think of the days when they didn’t exist… but be sure to update your status once it’s back up!

Price: $18.99
Who Found It: facadeindreams was the first to add the Social Media Pillows to the Hive.
