Flirt Shamelessly This Season With Fall’s Spiky Lashes

imageI’ve always been a serious eyeliner girl, collecting everything from smoky kohl pencils in every color to budge-proof creme liner pots to liquid glitter liner. But my most recent beauty obsession? Spiky lashes — either blacked-out versions of your natural lashes, or a little added help from a handy set of falsies like Kim Kardashian’s. Unlike thick, showgirl-esque, llama-looking lashes that focus on heavy volume, fall’s take on the lash trend gives you dramatic length without verging on unnatural. In other words, you’ll have people commenting on how jealous they are of your flirty peepers instead of asking if you just walked off a Vegas stage. Take a look at the slideshow to browse some products that’ll help you get your lashes long and spiky! Photo Credit: PR Photos

Hot In The Hive: Meringue Rings

imageI have to admit that while I work in the notoriously food phobic fashion industry, I love all aspects of food. If you’re ever a fly on the wall of the Stylehive office, you can hear most of us gab about the latest cheap eats or restaurants we’ve been to. So of course, I’ve got to have some fashion accessories that look like food like my Ritz Cracker earrings and gum drop necklace. My fingers have been feeling lonely from the lack of food related goodies, but today’s the day! I found these super charming Meringue Rings that look good enough to eat. These realistic treats may look like they’re made of sugar and egg whites, but it’s actually silicone. They come in three sizes and inexpensive enough to buy as stocking stuffers for all your food loving fashionista friends. Just don’t be tempted to nibble on them!

Price: $22

Eight Almost-Too-Good-To-Be-Guilt-Free Holiday Indulgences!

imageIt’s a pretty well known fact that we all tend to gain a few pounds during the holidays. The endless holiday parties, Christmas cookies and spiked apple cider are just too hard to resist for most of us. But with all the parties, it’s actually the time of year I want to look my best in my little black cocktail dresses. One way to curb a nagging sweet tooth? Sugary sweet beauty products that have all the holiday cheer and feel without all the consequences. Turn your pre-party bubble bath in a delicious creme brulee soak with Laura Mercier’s honey bath. Light some sweet scented candles all over the house to give off the warm holiday feel of hot buttered rum and cookies baking. A chocolate or pumpkin spiced lip balm will keep you satisfied with high shine, great taste and perfectly kissable lips for those under-the-mistletoe smooches. Check out the SLIDESHOW for more sweet treats that will keep you looking hot in your body-conscious frocks!

Bib Necklaces: Definitely Not Child’s Play

imageBib necklaces have been around for many seasons now, but it seemed like the Fall 2009 runways like Marni, Marc Jacobs, and Dior were filled with these eye catching necklaces. And who could forget the amazing Fred Leighton bib necklace Amy Adams wore at the 2009 Academy Awards! Bib necklaces can be found in all shapes and sizes so it’s easy to find one that can match your mood or personality. While I’ve found some in the $800 range at Saks, there are plenty of under $100 options that make this trend totally accessible. The Stellae Necklace is a subtle and bling-less take on the bib necklace, or you can go all out with the Jet/Crystal Bib Necklace. Wear your bib necklace when it’s just a jeans and t-shirt day for a touch of glamour or with a strapless gown for maximum impact. Take a look at my slideshow for more showstopping bib necklaces, and remember, these won’t help when you’re enjoying your lobster!
