Nightime Basics According to WhatsWear!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOn summer nights, almost anything goes. Shorts, slinky dresses, sequin t-shirts… anything. Whether you’re hanging with the beachy Hamptons crowd or sucking up the humidity in New York City, all women should have the following go-to pieces to be prepared for wherever the summer night will lead them. The Day-to-Night Skirt: Every social butterfly needs a quick-change item. The kind of functional skirt that can dressed down for daytime activities and instantly dressed up with a pair of heels. Perfect for those who need to literally run out their door. Dressy Shorts: While most guys are forbidden to wear shorts at night, no bouncer will say anything if a girl dons a pair. Black shorts are the perfect summer staple to pair with any of your favorite summer tops. Sequined Tee: Anything with a hint of sparkle or sequin is sure to be a perfect nighttime staple. No jewelry needed. Sexy LBD: Ok, every season needs a sexy LBD, and this is our justification to buy another one just for summer. These are just a few great and versatile summer night staples!

Get Distressed And Ripped Denim For Summer

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt seems like only yesterday that we were all wearing flannel and ripped denim (remember the grunge scene of the early 90s?). I used to go down those rough cement slides in the park to get the perfect distressed look. Those days are long gone, but ripped denim is no one hit wonder! We’ve seen celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens and Victoria Beckham wear their ripped jeans in style. From super short shorts to flirty skirts and jeans in different cuts, there’s a ripped style just for you. You can get a super destroyed jean with big holes and tears like this bleached pair from Oak. If you’re like me and like a more subtle look, pay attention to pieces with distressed edges and smaller rips and tears. After all, those little rips can always be made into bigger ones. Check out my slideshow for more ripped denim, from less than $15 to $200, that you’ll want to rock all summer long.

Hot In The Hive: Denise Julia Reytan TimePeaces

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLists, schedules, appointments, deadlines, meetings, alarms… it’s enough to make a girl go crazy! In this non-stop modern day world, even those who used to remind others to stop and smell the roses don’t have time anymore! But, it is important to think of ourselves and stop for a moment and breathe. That extra 10 minutes in the morning for coffee, or walking through a local park during lunch hour, or even just shutting the door and getting lost in our own non-work related thoughts for a few moments everyday is the difference between stress and serenity. Jewelry designer Denise Julia Reytan decided that she would be one of those to remind us to not be such a slave to the clock, but to also do it in luxurious style! Her T1mepeace collection is available for June and comes in a variety of eye-catching and edgy metallics. They are gold or silver plated bracelets that resemble the appearance of a watch, but there’s no actual time read-out. These T1mepeaces are aptly named and are here to remind us that sometimes, it’s ok to just live in the moment and enjoy yourself right where you are. Make your peace with time and even though it stops for no man, you’re free to take a moment for yourself. These “watch” bracelets are a beautiful statement piece, perfect for summer, and would look great with your colder weather wardrobe as well!

Price: Contact Denise Julia Reytan at mail@reytan.de for prices!
Who Found It: sofiabb was first to add the Denise Julia Reytan T1mePeace to the Hive.

Fitness Gadgets To Expedite Your Exercise Routine!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI consider myself pretty in-shape, relatively speaking. But just because I’m not huffing and puffing after two minutes on the elliptical or on the verge of a heart attack while jogging on the treadmill doesn’t mean I have an easy time motivating myself to even get to the gym in the first place! Unless you have a ton of self-discipline, a particularly fitness-savvy gym buddy, or a ridiculously good-looking personal trainer, it can be tough to get excited about working out, no matter the level of your athleticism. And even if you try to work out outside of the gym to spice things up, it’s easy to get fed up trying to keep track of your workout, time your jogs, and know offhand how many calories you’ve burned. Enter today’s hottest workout gadgets, including sports bras with built-in heart rate monitors, calorie-counting GPS wristwatches, and iPhone bike mounts (because let’s face it — exercising just isn’t worth it without some tunes to pump you up). There’s no need to keep it old-fashioned with your fitness regime when technology’s rapid advancements turn an activity you’d normally dread into… well, something almost fun! Take a look at the slideshow to see how you can technologize your training sessions!

Oh, and she’s still in high school. Texas teenager Jane Aldridge chronicles her daily fashion adventures in her blog, Sea of Shoes, and while she makes buying a pair of Margielas sound as simple as stopping at Starbucks, her refreshingly whimsical tone and captivating photo shoots keep us coming back for more.

Top Off Your Look With A Boater Hat!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imagePicture yourself in a boat on a river…. The Beatles may have had something there. We’ve seen the fedora come and go and the floppy sun hat loitering around, but the new shape in hats is… drumroll please… the boater hat. It’s a classic silhouette, but the mini boater hat from Pixie Market was the first to re-catch our eye, now we can’t stop spotting them on the style-set in the streets. We love this perfect straw boater hast with grosgrain ribbon from Brooks Brothers & suggest you give this new/old shape a try.
