Urban Decay Ammo Shadowbox: Beautiful Inside & Out

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI love the Ammo Shadowbox from Urban Decay. It has the perfect mix of neutral and fun colors. They all contain a bit of sparkle but not so much that it’s over the top. The 10 best-selling shadows are arranged as five coordinating duos, running the gamut from subtle to flirty and fun. The palette case is so pretty you won’t want to keep it hidden in your makeup bag. Its cover design is foiled and flocked with velvet for a rich texture. Inside is a mirror and sponge-tipped applicator. The case closure is magnetic to ensure it stays closed in your handbag. Just like you, this palette is beautiful inside and out!

NYFW Must-Have: High-Fashion Outerwear!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe New York weather may be frightful (understatement?), but you know what they say — the fashion show must go on! Fashion Week invitees who truly live and breathe fashion are trudging their skinny behinds to the shows despite whatever the sleet and snow are hurling in their direction. So the biggest must-have on every attendee’s checklist (aside from invites to the most sought-after shows) is definitely some cold-weather outerwear. But when you’re rubbing elbows with the likes of Anna Wintour and other high-profile front-row voyeurs, you can’t just show up in any coat. In fact, you’d probably be safer going naked than being seen wrapped up in Uggs and a Snuggie, for example. Stand out in trendy leopard print with a Chloe wool-blend coat, or show off your feminine side with a ruffled trench by Oscar de la Renta. Extravagance is key, so unfortunately you’ll have to leave your “frugalista” tendencies behind if you want to make the best impression — or be really good at faking it! Scroll through the slideshow for 10 fashion week-approved coats!

(Not So) Sweet Valentine’s Day Gifts For Anti-Cupids

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSo you don’t have a sweetie to spend this Valentine’s Day with. So what? Love is overrated anyway so join in the festivities with your single friends and have some fun and lots of laughs this weekend sans mushy poetry and sappy one liners. Heart candies and red roses are a dime a dozen (ok, a dozen roses may cost a little more than that) and we don’t usually go about buying these for ourselves, and getting or giving something romantic and sweet to a bestie or other unattached friend can be more awkward and strange than thoughtful and appreciated. So for those of us who don’t have a Valentine’s this year, or who are just generally against this Hallmark created holiday, here’s an array of funny, sarcastic anti-Vday gifts that are good for a laugh and will make you thank your lucky stars you don’t have to deal with a Valentine’s sweetie this year! Click the slideshow to see them all!

This Valentine’s Day, Give Her Flowers That Won’t Wilt

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageJust in case you still don’t know by now, Valentine’s Day is this weekend so if you still haven’t really made plans or bought gifts for this holiday yet, you may want to get moving! A sure classic that is guaranteed to bring smiles on the 14th? The gift of flowers. While every girl loves to get flowers and show them off, the downside to all beautiful bouquets is that they wilt and wither far too soon. An easy and gorgeous solution? Flowers in jewelry and accessories! Even more splendid than the standard bunch of roses, floral accessories get bonus points for the added sparkle and the fact that they’ll last longer than just a week. So, girls, if you’d like to get some seriously blinged out flowers that you can wear again and again, click on the slideshow and start dropping hints to your sweetie!

Gadget Of The Week: Sony Vaio E Series Notebooks

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThey say that brains and beauty are the complete package and when it comes to technology, it’s terribly hard to find. Besides the obvious offerings from Apple that usually come with a premium price, I tend to find really awesome looking gadgets with terrible specs on the inside. And the best performing PCs out there tend to look like mini slabs of plastic. The Sony Vaio E Series is here to dispel the misconception of ugly yet smart PCs. The candy colored notebooks can be customized with your choice of exterior color an keyboard skin on the inside. Of couse, the Vaio E Series comes with all the latest and greatest in technology. Powered by a 2.4 GHz processor, running Windows 7 and includes a generous 500 GB hard drive, it’s hard to believe it weighs in at just under six pounds. Other features include a 15.5 inch screen and an optional Blu-ray player so you can watch your HD movies almost anywhere. Brains and beauty can mix after all!

Price: $799
Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Sony Vaio E Series Notebook to the Hive.

Scarlett Johansson Designs Mango Bag for Haiti

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIt’s so great to see celebrities helping Haiti in any way they can. If you’re John Travolta, you can privately fly a whole bunch of people to Haiti. If you’re Miley Cyrus, you can auction off your Grammy Awards dress. and if you’re Scarlett Johansson you can design a purse for the designer you work for. And that’s just what Scarlett is doing! When you purchase Scarlett Johansson’s Haiti bag from Mango, everyone will know you’re supporting a good cause. You’ll have to wait a little bit since the bag won’t be available until March, but it will be worth the wait. The bag features a black and white map of ancient Haiti with the words, “Support the people of Haiti. Designed by Scarlett Johansson. Mango.” The bag, exclusively sold at Mango, will only cost $29.90 and all profits will go to Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. Scarlett had this to say about the bag: “I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund… By purchasing this bag, which I specially designed, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti.”

I love seeing celebrities do all they can to help the cause. And by designing such an affordable, cute bag, Scarlett must know people are going to be running to Mango to buy her new tote!
