Posted in: Uncategorized

Summer Must-Haves From Fresh Independent Designers!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI’ll admit it — I’ve spent the last four months hidden away inside my Toronto apartment just waiting for the warm weather again. Time not wasted though — I’ve been keeping busy head-starting the season by staking out my summer wardrobe! After all, who doesn’t love online shopping? With careful consideration I was able to sift through all of my options and weed out my absolute summer must-haves from the pages and pages of things I loved but could realistically live without for now (I guess). If you haven’t given yourself the same ahead-of-the-season jump start on your summer shopping, don’t fret! There’s still some time to get some advanced shopping done online. And hey, you could also always last-minute shop online from the poolside! Personally, I’m prepared to spend most of my summer outdoors, so I chose some key pieces that should carry me through both in style and with comfort. For further inspiration, check out the slideshow for some Designers Connect-approved summer staples and get ready to enjoy the sunshine with fashionable friends!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageGirls’ night out coming up? Hooray! Get ready for some good old-fashioned gossip, strong mixed drinks (mojitos or caipirinhas are mine for this season!) and a fabulous night out with your best friends. I love to up my fashion ante, especially when it’s just the girls. It might be time to finally spring for the uber-cute Marc Jacobs “Love Story” clutch, which would be perfect with this Black Halo Cold Shoulder Minidress! Or I could go for a pop of bright with this gorgeous silk satin “Fiore” clutch from J. Crew with the adorable Rachel Pally “Carmela” dress. Check out my slideshow for lots of other cute girls’ night out options!

Vintage Fashionistas Keep It Under Control with Bandage Dresses

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageHerve Leger believed that there were two types of fashion consumers: the fashion victims, who adopted the looks of designers without thinking, and the women who refused to be feminine clothes hangers. He, of course, designed for the latter. His most famous design was the bandage dress, and it seems like every young celebrity (and a few older ones as well) are sporting these unforgiving frocks on red carpets everywhere. And while you might not be able to afford a Leger original, there are plenty of vintage knock-offs to satisfy you fashion itch. Of course, these body-huggers should come with a warning label that advises against wearing unless all your bumps and bulges are under control. But for those of you with the bods to pull ’em off, you can choose from this sexy roundup of vintage dresses. Just click the slideshow to see the selection.

Hot In The Hive: Lush’s Daddyo Shampoo

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEven if your father isn’t exactly the “metro” type, he’s still gotta wash his hair, right? And unless he’s been blessed with remarkably good time-fighting genes (or he’s an ageless vampire, but that’s even less likely), chances are your dad is rockin’ a salt-and-pepper hued ‘do by now, if not a head of full-blown gray hair. Help him make the most of his time-seasoned locks and unleash his inner “silver fox” with Lush’s Daddyo Shampoo, a lemon-scented purple lather formulated specifically to restore strength, infuse shine, and eliminate brassy tones for dads with distinguished grays (and other fair hair shades). Even if he’s given up all hope on making over his dull-colored coif, Dad will definitely be taken by the fresh lemony (and very manly!) scent.

Price: $26.75 for a 16.9 oz. bottle
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Lush’s Daddyo Shampoo to the Hive.

Grad Gifts For Guys

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThat-a-boy. From hitting his first T-ball to learning to drive, the young man in your life has made you proud with every accomplishment he’s scored. For the guy grad who’s earned his diploma, a gift is certainly in order. It’d be great if the gift prepared him for the adult world, but boys will be boys, and a part of that will live in him forever. Unlike the girls, the memories will stay bottled up inside, so a gentleman graduate’s gifts will be more about celebrating than reflecting — he’s on to conquer the world, after all. Sure, he’ll always appreciate a card and a check — well, we all know the card is just a fancy envelope for the check he’ll expecting under the fold — but a gift with thought will let him know just how much you admire him for sticking it through, as well as how much you believe in him for following his dreams. Equip him well with one of these savvy tributes to your talented scholar’s success from a slideshow that’ll blow his mind — and blow off some of the steam that built up in his stint as a hard-working student!
