Stay Cute n’ Cozy Despite The Chill!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOptions are endless this season when it comes to looking your best, but one of our favorites is to be cute and cuddly this chilly season! There’s plenty of adorable pieces out there that are just begging to be worn. It can get pretty cold closer to the end of the year, but style never needs to be sacrificed!


This winter – think warm! Grab your favorite hat and scarf and prepare for those cooler temps. Here at Stylehive, we’ve searched around for the best pieces that will keep you warm and cozy all winter long. Some pieces that are super trendy for this season include embellished gloves (so cute!) and knitwear! Knitwear is great for layering because it keeps you warm, and is super cute while still being functional! Think legwarmers have gone out of style? Think again, because those babies look great peeking out of sexy boots!


Have everyone jealous of your cuddly, comfy style while keeping it all budget-friendly! Check out our slideshow for some great ideas this winter!

Beauty Pick Me Up – Color Me Accessorized!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSometimes, beauty isn’t just about skincare and cosmetics. After you’ve fixed the last strand in place for the perfectly coiffed style, or the last coat of mascara has been applied, it’s time to think about making your look even more unique while not going over the top. A great way to add interest to a make-up or beauty look is by mixing in some pops of color!


Color is a fun and easy way to embellish your look, from pretty floral clips for your hair, to bright vibrant hues for your nails or lips. Small jewels for the face or nails is also a good idea for a special night out. Opt for one bold color, like red or orange, or mix-n-match them for a whimsically fashion forward spin.


Accessorizing with color is attention grabbing and is even more perfect for those of us that like to keep a monochromatic and somber wardrobe. Ready for a splash of color? Click on the slideshow to see some fave colorful beauty accessories!

Bag of the Week- Rebecca Minkoff Kerry Pouch

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageMuch like most fashionistas, Rebecca Minkoff’s ‘Kerry’ Pouch is a study in paradox – constructed out of ladylike, butter-soft pebbled leather, but finished with tough girl hardware and metallic foil. The dual sides to this bag make it the perfect accessory for whatever look might suit your mood at any given moment. This bag is classy when paired with a little black dress, or tough if paired with a leather motorcycle jacket and jeans, or even boho and eclectic if paired with a printed maxi dress and jean jacket! It’s difficult to think of an outfit this bag wouldn’t look great with! We can’t get enough of pieces that are multidimensional and give us more bang for our buck, and Minkoff’s pouch – at the same time chic, tough and funky – certainly fits the bill!

Price – $85

Grapes, gourds and corn cobs complete the intricate design which only needs a simple dusting of powdered sugar for decoration.



The Pumpkin Loaf Pan, also from Williams Sonoma, features a festive harvest pattern and is perfect for quick breads and pound cakes. It would look beautiful with a simple glaze.

A ’65 double-decker bus puts Portland’s latest vintage shop on wheels
Lodekkabus1.jpg

On the corner of Williams and Failing in northeast Portland, OR, a newly-restored double-decker bus gleams in the early afternoon sunlight. People walking to any of the nearby cafes and restaurants take out their iPhones and take pictures as they pass. “I have the greatest job in the world,” said the owner, Erin Sutherland, who restored the bus with the help of a few friends and converted it to a vintage shop, now called
Lodekka.

Lodekkabus2.jpg

The name comes from the bus model. It’s a 1965 Bristol Lodekka that Sutherland found and renovated with the help of her friends, ripping out chairs and scraping off wallpaper paste. When Sutherland lost her job six months ago, she found herself with a lot of time on her hands and an ingenious idea. Portland has a booming food cart industry, why not start a vintage dress cart? The idea meshed well with Sutherland’s other occupation as a member of the Portland 1930’s jazz band The Stolen Sweets. Now she can sell vintage clothes by day, and sing vintage music by night.

lodekka10.jpg

Sutherland spends half the week shopping for stock and the other half chit-chatting with customers as they navigate the bus interior, examining its many treasures. Sutherland manages to display a lot of items in a small space, from vintage magazines to silky sweaters. A dog snoozes outside in the grass while Sutherland prices some items on a restored bus bench. A girl from Brooklyn tries on a pair of white cowboy boots and hauls some dresses up the spiral staircase to the dressing room. Downstairs, her mother squeals, “I haven’t seen this book since I was a kid!” Which book is uncertain, but one thing is clear: Sometimes getting fired can be the best thing to ever happen to you.

lodekka11.jpg

Lodekka has a Facebook page and a Twitter account. The shop is open Thursday through Saturday, 11am to 6pm and Sunday noon to 5pm. For more information, check out Lodekka’s website.

Street Style – Give Your Look The Perfect Touch

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhen it comes to getting dressed in the morning, you probably already have a certain style that you go for. Maybe you’re the classic girl, or perhaps you like to keep it interesting with unique pieces that no-one else has. For most of us, our style choices usually fall somewhere in between the two, edging more closely to one side or the other depending on our mood.


But what really sets an ensemble apart from all the similar looks out there is how you choose to accessorize. A slim silver belt is a clean and feminine look that can enhance a classy vibe, while a stack of spiked bangles gives edge to any look. With accessories, it’s all about being able to express yourself, so go as demure or over-the-top as you please! Take a look at the slideshow for some unique jewelry and accessories ideas!

Shoe of the Week – Steve Madden ‘Troopa’ Boots

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWant a pair of versatile, yet trendy boots this winter? Get combat boots. More specifically, the pair we’re lovin’ at Stylehive: Steve Madden Troopa boots. If you missed this trend in the early ’90s (or if you’re too young to remember it), then it’s time to integrate it in your wardrobe – stat! Combat boots are adorable with a t-shirt and jeans or even better, a short girly dress or flirty skirt-like the way Kendall Jenner sported them at the Teen Choice Awards 2010!


What makes this pair great (besides that hot $100 price tag) is the classic construction and clean lines of the boots. They’re rugged, comfy and cool enough to wear next year too.

Where to Buy – Piperlime.com

Price – $100.00
