Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThere are 110 perfect LBDs out there and I own about half of them! The quest for the perfect LBD is never ending, but what about the perfect LBB – little black bag? We women also want a perfect day bag that can carry all our stuff, match multiple outfits and look fashionable and chic all at the same time! Seems like we’re asking for a lot, but it’s easy, especially with the new Alexander Wang Donna Hobo bag. Ok, so maybe it’s not so “little”, but it is fashionable, chic, and practical! The bonus is an added rocker-style attitude with the zipper detailing and slouchy leather shape. It’s just enough to help strut your stuff, but not too scary where mothers are hurrying young children to the opposite side of the street. At $795.00, this bag is worth the splurge, but hey! We’re in a recession! Don’t worry though, because now you have the chance to win this fabulous, lust-inducing bag for free! Are you feeling lucky?

Bring On The Cute Swimsuits!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEveryone has their favorite childhood summer memories. While passing by little ones dodging waves and burying siblings in sand at the beach, it’s hard not to wish you were a kid again. Sometimes, even, those youthful styles of bows and polka dots are what we really wish we could squeeze back into! Luckily, you can still find a suit for your rockin’ grown-up bod that’s carried over some of your favorite feminine features. Sure, wearing a one-piece, boat-necked, thick-strapped tutu is probably only something that can pass while you’re too young to notice how ridiculous you look, so these more mature styles won’t sink you deep into a pool of fashion faux pas. These fun, flirty, and oh-so-cute styles will give you a girl-next-door edge without losing that sexy, beach chic!

Hot In The Hive: EcoSphere Collection

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAs a child growing up in the 90s, my friends and I would read Teen Magazine with a passion. The back page was the best part, where you could order color changing lipsticks, personalized horoscope readings, and of course Sea Monkeys. I never did get to order the fun little critters, but now that we’ve all grown up, our tastes should grow up too. That’s where the EcoSphere Collection comes in. The EcoSphere comes with a glass container with everything you need for a harmonious eco-system. Just add fluorescent light or indirect sunlight and the microbes feed the algae which feeds the red shrimp! A gorgonia sprig, gravel, shells and glass add to the environment which should all last for an average of two years. Put this in your office or living room as a conversation piece and as alternative to those plants you keep killing.


Price: $65-$250
Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the EcoSphere Collection to the Hive.

Surf Into Target For Some Tracy Feith!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAs a skateboarder in the early 80s, Texas-born Tracy Feith started customizing his skate threads to match his free-spirited, punk personality. He later refined his skills at art school, and ended up working in the fashion industry creating the colorful, boho-luxe vibe — which looks as good on the beach as the red carpet — that has since become his signature. His new limited-edition line for Target is reminiscent of 70s surf life (especially with retro-ready prices ranging from $15-$140), featuring tees, swimwear, summery separates, flowy frocks and girlie skirts in bold hues, tiered ruffles, and prints both trippy and tropical on washed-down fabrics. A black leather biker jacket tossed over a daisy-print pinafore oozes carefree style, while a number 8 muscle tee with a print skater skirt is beach party-ready. “Tracy Feith designs for women who are sophisticated and chic [like fans Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, and Michelle Obama], but also know how to express their individuality,” says Trish Adams, senior VP at Target. “His Bohemian-inspired, spirited aesthetic is a fresh take for the GO International program, providing designer fashion at guilt-free prices.” Tracy Feith for Target is available starting May 17, 2009 at Target.com. Until then, make sure to check out Fashiontribes for more Spring and Summer fashion news and trends!

Recession Chic: Multi-Functional Items

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWith our nation in a state of economic uncertainty, certain spending restrictions have to be made- even the celebs are doing it! I, like many, have been forced to really consider the value of my purchases before whipping out the credit card. One way to expand your wardrobe while still downsizing on the amount of purchases made is with multi-functional items. I’m not talking about a blazer that can be worn with a bunch of different ensembles (although such items are worthy investments in their own right), I’m talking about one piece that can be re-configured and worn in totally different ways. I have tracked down several of these must-have items and rounded them up to share with you and help you stay fabulous during this time of downsizing. Check out my SLIDESHOW for my top multi-functional fashion picks!

Spring Trend Alert: Watercolor Prints

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWatercolor prints have been declared one of the “it” trends for spring, from Coco Rocha sashaying in a demure rose-spattered A-line dress in H&M’s Spring campaign to red carpet regulars like Vanessa Williams adding an artsy touch to their ensembles with watercolor print clutches, shoes, and scarves. A subtler alternative to bold prints, watercolor motifs are still dramatic in their own way and add an avant-garde yet feminine sensibility to any outfit. Walter, Elizabeth and James, Tracy Reese, and Black Halo are among the designers who have included graceful watercolor-inspired pieces in their spring collections. Apart from its visual merits, what’s also fab about this trend is that it comes without an expiration date. Like quality art, it can be kept and sported for years and not appear dated at all. Careful not to overdo it, though: one impressionist piece per outfit makes the best impression. Check out the slideshow for stylish ways to channel your inner Monet!

Hot In The Hive: Get Cooking! Cookbook Box Set

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDespite the fact that my father is a chef, my mother is a natural talent in the baking arena, and I come from a long line of major foodies, I have to admit that the kitchen-savvy gene definitely skipped a generation in my case. Don’t get me wrong — I certainly can read, I can follow simple instructions, and I can whip up a mean bowl of Easy Mac, but when it comes to making a full meal or even just baking cookies from scratch, I need a little help! That’s why I think this Cookbook Box Set from Fred Flare is the cutest thing ever — six colorful cookbooks with photo-accompanied recipes for all kinds of concoctions (Indian, Pasta, Fruit, Wok, Veg, & Treats, to be exact!) that all come in an oven-shaped box, great for gift-giving or even for displaying next to your neglected life-size oven! It’s the perfect little packaged gift for the friend or relative (or just for yourself!) who loves the idea of cooking but just needs a little inspiration and instruction! Plus, the whole set is way cheaper than just one cookbook from one of those bigwigs on the Food Network! Stand back Giada De Laurentiis!

Price: $30
