Stylehive’s Stylescopes Show That Accessorizing Is A Cinch!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt’s no news that nowadays belts are more about fashion than function. Gone are the days that belts should only be discreet and embellishment-free for maximum waistband-cinching without the buckle bulges. Now they’re all about accessorizing, bedazzling, shaping looser ensembles, or even adding pops of color to otherwise drab monochrome outfits. So with all the stylish choices in the realm of belts, how does a girl choose? Look no further than Stylehive’s Stylescopes to see what kind of waist-hugger is written in your fashion future! Geminis can ditch the chunky jewelry and dress up an LBD with a hammered gold belt for some flash, and the Virgo gals can hop on the chain trend and toughen up a girly dress with this multi-strand silver belt. Take a look at the slideshow to see what kind of belt will make your sign’s next outfit!

Give The Gift Of Comfort And Joy With Pajamas!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf I could get away with it, I’d probably spend most of my hours in bed. However, I have to do my part in banishing VPL (visible panty lines) and finding cool Christmas gifts for you to buy and how am I supposed to do that from under the covers? Since I can’t stay in bed, I love to wear my pajamas to get the same feeling of warmth and comfort. You’ll never see me in pajamas outside my front door though! I have friends who have been asking me what I want for Christmas and I’ve been half tempted to request pajamas even though I own far too many. If I shouldn’t put pjs in my gift list, then let me put them in yours instead! I’m loving these classic pajamas from Lauren by Ralph Lauren for a perfectly chic bedtime look. For something a little more flirty, try this ruffly chiffon nightie from American Eagle. Take a look at my slideshow for more pajamas that would be wonderful presents for the girls in your life (or for yourself).

The Reluctant Givers’ Gift Guide

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEveryone has ’em: people who you’d prefer to send a gag to rather than a gift. The busybody mother-in-law. The frenemy who’s somehow firmly entrenched in your crew of friends. The jerky coworker you happen to draw in the Secret Santa pool at the office. Or maybe it’s the awkwardness that comes along with gifting someone you’ve just started dating. Manners dictate that you not overlook them on your holiday list yet how do you shop for people who, plain and simple, are unavoidable thorns in your side when it comes to gift giving? I recently attended celebrity stylist Robert Verdi’s guide to holiday gifting event, and got some inspired ideas for those one or two difficult someone specials that fall on everyone’s list. Check out the slideshow for suggested gifts and tips!

Hot In The Hive: Smart Planet Mini Cupcake Maker

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEver since Carrie and the gang from “Sex and the City” step foot into Magnolia Bakery for one of their cupcakes, the worldwide craze for the frosted sweet treats hasn’t died down since. While I’m busy budgeting for my designer shoe fund, bag fund, and oh yeah, bills, I can’t always indulge in a $4 treat everyday. That’s why the Smart Planet Mini Cupcake Maker is so handy. This gadget makes 6 mini cupcakes in just 5 minutes with recipes included. If you think about it, it’s also quite health conscious since you’re eating a mini sized cupcake instead of a regular sized one (but there’s no saying that all 6 could disappear within minutes!). Of course, you can also make mini muffins, cornbread and other treats but cupcakes are definitely #1. Like they always say, when you want things done right, do it yourself. Now I just have to figure out how to automatically frost them.

Price: $16.95
Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Smart Planet Mini Cupcake Maker to the Hive.

Chic Curtains Add Style And Shade To Your Room

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDo you ever wake up with the sun in your eyes? Sure it may be a natural wake up call, but surely there are days where you just want to sleep in. That means you should cover up those naked windows with some chic curtains! Curtains can shield your eyes (and your furniture) from the harsh sunlight, keep the cold or heat out, and make any room look more put together. Shopping for window treatments can be confusing so make sure you measure all the windows and bring the measurements with you to the store. It also helps to bring swatches of any furniture you have in the room to make sure none of the colors clash with your new curtains. Besides getting curtains, don’t forget the curtain rods, finials, holdbacks, and tiebacks. Take a look at my slideshow to see them all.
