 | If you are saving up for a new spring bag pick up one in a neutral tone like the Marc Jacobs Garbo Gene Bag ($1,295 at Saks) or the Marc Jacobs Quilting Metallic Sandy Shoulder Bag ($595 at Saks). Both bags continue the ladylike trend in bags with top handles or chains that we’ll keep seeing for at least a couple more seasons I believe.

 | Already tiring of your fall wardrobe? Or just having a bit if a fashion rut? One great way to add a little flair to your fall and winter pieces is to buy yourself a wear-with-anything accessory! We here at Stylehive happen to love hats, an accessory that is right on trend this season. They’re the perfect way to mix a touch of menswear inspired style into your look! Rag and Bone‘s Kingsley Hat is by far one of our favorites. It’s a versatile shape that compliments and frames the face with its wide brim and the rich olive green lets you throw this hat on with all those somber fall and winter hues like blacks, browns and grays. It gives them a great pop of color or tone down the jewel tones so popular this season. Made with 100% felted wool, it will not only keep you looking stylish, but it will keep you warm, too.

 | The holidays are officially over and our bank accounts are tapped. But that doesn’t mean we can’t treat our visage to a few gifts of their own! From skincare products to makeup palettes, we love to pamper our faces with the best. Chanel lipsticks and Dior eye creams are luxurious and lust-worthy, sure, but beauty doesn’t have to cost a fortune! We got together our favorite drugstore products that we’ve used, are using and love. For a fraction of designer prices, take your lashes to the limit, make that pout pop and that skin glow! See why we love them, then take a look at the slideshow to see serums, mascaras, shadows and more that can all be found at your local drugstore!

 | It’s always a good idea to invest in a quality purse. They last longer, are made of better materials, and they’ll be in heavy rotation for years to come. If you’re looking for a new purse to rock all year, then check out the Botkier Fiona Metallic Shoulder Bag. It’s size is perfect for the essentials and has a small zippered pocket on the inside to keep loose change and other small items in one place. The color of this bag is a unique but versatile soft metallic tone so it goes with all your outfits! Plus, there’s a long strap so you can swing it over your shoulder or strap it across your chest. Take this baby everywhere and heads will turn!

 | You can carry a purse or you can carry a handbag. Whichever term you prefer, just make sure you’re carrying the Mr. Holster bag by Deadly Ponies. Not only does it look sharp with any outfit, but it’s one more piece from the creative mind of fashion designer Liam Bowden. Made by hand (with love), this bag consists of sumptuous black leather, cool metal details and has a long, adjustable strap (so you can wear it across your body or hang it on your shoulder) that features an adorable black iris flower detail on it. We love the subtle statement because it says so much–without really trying to say anything at all. Where to Buy – NeedSupply.com Price – $390.00 Who Found It – SusanY was the first to add the ‘Mr. Holster Bag’ to the Hive. |

 | Here at Stylehive, we love a good deal, especially if it comes in the form of a necklace that we just can’t get enough of. Case-in-point – this knotted chain and rhinestone necklace that costs less than $6. Yes, you read that correctly. It can be all yours for less than lunch will cost you. So while everyone else spends a small fortune on funky necklaces, you’ll be sporting one that has three curbed chains mixed with a rhinestone strand, a knot in the middle (to give it some attitude) and an antique finish. It sounds fancy and looks it too. Throw it on with jeans or layer it with other shiny pieces to spruce up that LBD you plan to wear on New Year’s Eve! Either way, you’ll look smashing, dahling! Where to Buy – Forever21.com Price – $5.80 Who Found It – SusanY was the first to add the ‘Knotted Chain and Rhinestone Necklace’ to the Hive. |
