Daily Obsesh – Kitty Cat Hat

It’s the perfect cuddly cute accessory to wear on a cold winter’s day while out for a walk or while watching the lighting of a holiday tree. Everyone around you will be a little bit jelly of your adorable, super soft, fluffy cat hood. Slip it on, button it up … then purr.

Stylelist Shows Us Fair Isle Sweater For $100 Or Less!

imageOh the weather outside is frightful… but your outfit is so delightful!


Named after Fair Isle, a tiny island in the north of Scotland when the design originated, this homey pattern has made it’s mark on contemporary clothing. We couldn’t stop drooling over the après-ski extravaganza at D&G’s fall show that featured cabin chic knits by the sleigh-load! And after Rag & Bone’s show, a cropped sweater with matching mittens was deemed cool again.


Whether you appreciate the classics from L.L.Bean or the updated tunic-style from Urban Outfitters, there’s a sweater for any fashionista who appreciates a cozy knit!

Daily Obsesh – Vita Fede Kat Dove Bracelet

imageSometimes the right outfit just isn’t complete without the right accessories – put on a pearl necklace and your look oozes ‘demure’. A big, chunky ring and it might say ‘edgy’. That’s why, here at Stylehive, we’re lovin’ this soft gray leather bracelet – it makes any outfit look sleek. It has a wide leather band that connects with large sterling silver links and clasps with an adjustable silver buckle. Worn with a black blazer it says refined, but pair it with a tight black dress and suddenly it’s tough. The possibilities are endless.

This bracelet dresses up just about any outfit … and bonus! Order it now and get free shipping!

We Love That Overalls Are Back!

imageDepending on age, it was either middle school or highschool, but it seems like not too long ago that baggy denim overalls were all the rage. Light wash, dark wash, loose fit, long, short … it was all considered cool! And extra cool points if you wore them with one strap unattached! Now, overalls are making a come-back, but they’re shedding their ‘barn house’ vibe by showing up in more fitted cuts, new fabrics and a variety of colors.


With the hot jumpsuit and romper trend, it was only the natural step for us to steer style into the direction of overalls. Bold hues, short hems, skinny leg and varying style details keep the look modern (unless you want the vintage denim look, because we’ve got that too!) and many styles are a haute-hybrid of jumpsuits and overalls. Pair them with cage heels or pumps to amp up the sex appeal, or keep it casual with a loose tee and a pair of throwback Converse!

Kate Moss Topshop: The Final Collection Launches Today

imageKate Moss launched her final mainline collection for Topshop. Here she is at the launch party in Oxford Circus last night sporting her newly self-cut bangs. I love her casual pieces much more so than her dressy evening wear as because the casual pieces seem to embody more of her daily style. Also, I can’t see myself paying more than $300 for a Topshop item. If it comes down to a $300 dress, I’d rather go with DVF or Alice + Olivia. Overall, Kate’s had a great run with her Topshop line and her sense of style has always been at the top of my list.

Bag of the Week – Patricia Nash ‘Barcellona’ Saddle Bag

imageWhen ‘The City’ star, Whitney Port, was spotted carrying around an amazing ombre-colored leather bag around New York City, we had to find out where she got it. Turns out, it came from leather purse designer, Patricia Nash’s Fall 2010 collection. All bags are 100% Italian leather, come in various treatments like the dip-dye that Port chose, and are hand-tooled.

The ‘Barcellona’ Saddle Bag also comes in a brown, vintage-looking leather and vegetable tan – and while we love the color selection, we’re even more impressed by the price of these bags – any well constructed, gorgeous leather bag for under $200 is truly a treasure. Use it to carry around your every day belongings or strap it on during a stroll through the flea market – you’ll look laid back, yet stylish without trying too hard.
