Flirt Shamelessly This Season With Fall’s Spiky Lashes

Posted in: Uncategorized
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

Posted in: Uncategorized
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!

Posted in: Uncategorized
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

Posted in: Uncategorized
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!

Hot In The Hive: Beer In A Boot For Father’s Day!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFather’s Day is a step around the corner and I never know what to get my dad! I crossed ties off the list many years ago (he made me), he probably has bathrobe and slipper sets to last him two lifetimes, and all those cool gadgets and grill tools that my brother and I were gonna go halfsies on? He’s already bought them for himself! So, I think this year, I will go for a gift that’s something fun mixed with something a little traditional. Most men like beer… maybe even borderline love. Men have loved beer throughout the ages so much that German soldiers would drink it out of their boots, rather than not drink it at all! So this Father’s Day, get your dad the gift of tradition and beer with a glass beer boot from HomeWetBar! These glass boots hold up to 18 oz of beer which is about half a liter. Not big enough? They also come in two liter boot sizes! Dad may be sick of getting house slippers, but here’s some footwear that he’ll love to get out and use again and again! At $20 each, get a pair of beer boots and join your father for a Father’s Day brewski!

Price: $19.95

imageStand out from a sea of black! Rich hues are in this fall, so why not give your outfit a pop of color with a purple handbag? I love this Kooba Amber Shoulder bag ($545 at Neiman Marcus) for it’s roomy size, not so flashy gold hardware, and cool looking bow detail. The Caroline Shoulder Bag (On Sale for $169 at Neiman Marcus) with watersnake skin gives a glamorous touch to an everyday bag. Finally, the Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Huge Hillier Leather Hobo ($498 at Bloomingdales) is sleek, roomy, and versatile with two strap lengths.
