Be A Bronzed Goddess Without The Harmful Rays

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSummer may not quite be here yet, but it’s never too late to work on your tan. It’s still a little early to hit the beaches and we all know by now that tanning beds are not the safest option, but with sundresses and shorts quickly becoming daily wear, the last thing you want is to put your pasty legs on display. One perfect solution? Sunless tanners and bronzing creams. This is not the tanning lotion of yester-year that left you with sneaky streaks and an obvious orange tone (enter Oompa Loompa joke here). Tanning creams and bronzers have become very advanced, leaving you with no tell-tale self-tanner smell and a convincing, streak free color. Just click on the slideshow to see some sunless tanner favorites (Clarins is a personal fave) and start getting your legs ready for swimsuit season!

Step Up Your Summer Style With A Tiered Skirt!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI hope you summer style mavens have been working on your tan (safe and sunless, of course) because it’s officially skirt season, and the tiered trend is popping up on new arrival racks all over! Tiered skirts, whether slim and tiny or a-line and longer, are the way to go this season when you want a mini that’s both lightweight yet flouncy and can be dressed up or down, unlike your go-to ripped denim skirt! Tiers not only add interest, but they also amp up the volume to fabrics that normally cling or lay flat and boring. They’re great for girls with more boyish figures looking to add a more hourglass illusion, like this high-waisted Nanette Lepore number, but curvier girls can rock the trend too with longer a-line styles like this chambray skirt from J. Crew. Take a look at the slideshow for my 10 favorite tiered skirts!

Hot In The Hive: Hanae Mori Solid Perfume Ring

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWhile the idea of beauty items made portable in the form of wearable jewelry is undoubtedly convenient, I’m not always a fan of the actual product. I mean, rings or lockets that hold lipgloss or perfume are often either too cutesie, too gaudy, too cheap-looking, too childish… in summary, convenient, but not something you’d actually want to wear. Perfume rings, for example, are hardly “incognito,” and although cocktail styles aren’t meant to be unnoticeable by any means, ones that hold solid perfume tend to scream out “I am a solid perfume ring!” rather than looking like an actual ring that just so happens to hold your favorite on-the-go scent. Except for this one by Hanae Mori, that is. The butterfly-shaped ring is actually cute rather than obnoxiously big and plastic, and the hidden perfume inside is an appropriately fun and springy yet adult scent — no candy-scented body spray or bubblegum lipstick in here!

Price: $39
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Hanae Mori Solid Perfume Ring to the Hive.

Ruffled Handbags Are Cute & Feminine Without Being Prissy

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI’ve never really considered myself a girlie-girl, but something about this season’s ruffles have really been floatin’ my boat. Of course, ruffles can tread a fine line between sweet and… well, a little too frou-frou. So if you’re not about to go the overly-cutesie route, consider wearing your ruffles not on your sleeve or your neckline, but your handbag! What’s great about ruffled bags is that they let you go as frilly as you want without making you look costume-y, or just plain ridiculous. Go for something over-sized in a neutral shade like this romantic Be & D Ruffled Tote, or if you prefer something a little more subtle, this BCBG Ruffled Clutch has tiered ruffles that aren’t quite so voluminous. Check out the slideshow for my top favorite ruffled handbags!

Thick Natural Brows For Spring!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEvery girl strives for the perfectly arched, classically beautiful eyebrow, but what is considered the perfect brow? Every generation decides on a new preferred aesthetic when it come to how our brows should look to be most flattering. Does anyone remember Christina Aguilera and her ‘X-tina’ days with those two super arched, super drawn on lines she tried to pass off as eyebrows? Well those scary days are behind us and we can now look forward to naturally thick, borderline-bushy brows a la Brooke Shields or Denise Richards. Eyebrows play a large part in framing the face and thicker brows give an air of mysterious innocence and stern beauty. The best way to wear this new beauty trend is with minimal makeup, especially around the eyes, and let your brows take center stage. Ready to give it go yourself? Click on the slideshow for powder palettes, brow wax and other tools that will help you turn your sparse brows into beautifully thick ones!
