Linea Pelle Chic Belts

imageSince the waist is a strategic place in the silhouette of a woman, the belt is certainly a girl’s best ally, as Lauren Conrad (fashion designer and television personality) so aptly put it.


A belt can be used in a large variety of clothes – dresses, sweaters, baby doll shirts, coats and others. They create a waist in voluminous clothes that do not have any. The belt therefore creates the much-desired sensuous silhouette in any attire.


The biggest advantage of a belt is that it is very versatile. It completely changes the way a dress can appear. By simply changing a belt, one can wear a single dress in a different way several times. The belt is a key tool in creating one€™s own personal look.


The Linea Pelle Collection is certainly one of the best innovations that we have seen in recent years in the domain of the belt. For example, the Woven Medallion Waist Belt is a wide belt that is to be
worn quite high on the waist. Completely made of leather, this exquisite piece makes any dress into a full fashion statement. It is certainly the centre-piece of any attire.

Beauty Pick Me Up – Renew Your Skin!

imageLate night parties, days spent lounging in the sun, weekend getaways … all these things are what makes summer so special.


But all these things also take a toll on our skin. So pamper your pores and soothe and smooth yourself from head-to-toe with gentle exfoliating. Not all body parts are created equal, though! What may work wonders for your body can be too harsh on your face and hands exfoliators may not make a dent at all when it comes to your feet.


Take a look at a few of our exfoliating tips and then click on the slideshow to see some of our favorite exfoliating products!



Face – Your visage is the the first thing that people notice so make sure what they’re noticing is a smooth face. Facial skin is delicate, however, so be sure to opt for an exfoliator that’s gentle with small, rounded beads of uniform size.

Don’t scrub too vigorously as a rough application can do more harm than good. And space out the treatments to once a week, or even once every two weeks for finer, more sensitive skin.



Body – All that fun in the sun can mean dull, dead skin that needs to be sloughed off to help make your summer tan pop even more! Try using an exfoliating body wash once a week to keep skin looking smooth and soft.

Apply just a quarter sized amount to a washcloth and scrub, focusing on areas like the elbows and knees.



Hands – Pretty hands are feminine and attractive. But besides a fresh manicure, the state of our skin also makes a difference! Make sure your handshake feels smooth and soft by exfoliating you hands one every week and a half.

There are some great hand exfoliating products out there, but make your life easier by opting for a handwash that moisturizes and exfoliates all at once!



Feet – Your feet carry your weight and you use them to walk, run or dance. So it’s no surprise that our feet need the most love.

Soak feet in warm water for about ten minutes before applying and using an exfoliator. This helps soften the skin for easier removal. Focus on areas like the balls of the foot and the heel, using repeated circular motions with a little pressure. Finish with a thick, foot cream to keep skin soft.

Bag of the Week – Tylie Ikat Wayfarer

imageThese days days the world is all technology and fast-paced business – iPods, laptops, smart phones, the latest gaming systems. It can become very consuming, and we don’t all have the time and luxury to take off for a weekend trip.


But StyleHive has found a way to feel more connected with the earth – and it involves accessorizing! Tribal prints have been big for summer so it seemed like the perfect place to start on the road to rediscovery.


This printed shoulder bag with tassel by Ikat Wayfer has become well liked here at StyleHive. The blue and white design will help give off a tranquil zen while your digging to reapply your favorite lipgloss. The bag also comes in white/charcoal with red tassel for those with bolder tastes.


We all know change won’t happen over night. There’s no need to start growing your own vegetables or burning incense just yet. Stick with what works for you; and if it happens to be online shopping, who is anyone else to judge?

Get Her Look – Ashlee Simpson’s Office-Friendly Animal Print

imageThere are some parties where your favorite “freakum dress” is a huge no-no … like the office party.


While a low neckline and a high hemline are inappropriate anytime your boss is around, you can have some fun with your office party look.


Take inspiration from Ashlee Simpson‘s head-to-toe Mara Hoffman ensemble. The animal print is wild, but the style of the dress is conservative. Her arms have some coverage, and the hem hits mid-thigh. Ashlee popped the yellowish-brown animal print with red strappy sandals and pendant necklace.


You’ll turn your coworkers’ heads in a good way with this festive yet office-friendly look. So the next time you’re attending an office party or happy hour with coworkers, leave your LBD in the closet … this is your look! Get the details below.
