Let Out Your Inner Seductress With Sultry Valentine’s Day Lingerie

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAs much as sexy lingerie succeeds in shooting your confidence through the stratosphere, it’s not exactly comfy for everyday wear. I know they say pain is beauty, but itchy lace and corset boning digging into your love handles isn’t exactly what you want to be enduring for the sake of looking sexy on just any day of the week… unless of course it’s a special occasion! So this V-Day, swap your standard boyshorts for luxe lingerie and let that closet vixen come out, at least for the night! With slinky sheer babydolls and gorgeously flattering bra-and-panty sets, you (and your Valentine) will love your seductive new skivvies so much, you may never revisit another 5-for-$25 Pink panties deal ever again! Okay, that’s taking it a little far, but if you’re feeling tempted to bring out that V-Day temptress, check the slideshow for the picks!

Video Style Steal: We’re Nostalgic Over The Old Britney In “Not Yet A Woman”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageEver since we caught a glimpse of the Grammy get-up that Britney Spears unwisely chose to wear this year (if you haven’t seen it, you’ve officially been warned), we at the Hive have been really missing Brit’s good ol’ days. We’re talkin’ Britney circa 2001 — you know, “I’m A Slave 4 U,” her movie debut in Crossroads, and the wise-beyond-her-years “I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman.” In fact, speaking of that particular video, while watching it we can’t help but think that she had way more fashion sense ten years ago than she did now, even by today’s standards. I mean, swap those 70’s-style flares for a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and trade her crop top for one that’s… well, not cropped, and she’s practically wearing an outfit straight out of the latest Free People catalogue. And wait — are those desert boots she’s wearing under those humongous bell bottoms?! Dear far-more-stylish-Britney-of-the-past: if you’re still in there somewhere, come back and save yourself before you do something else drastic like wear another see-through lace dress in public. Anyway, while we’re waiting for that futile message to be delivered, watch the video for a fun Britney flashback, then take a look at the slideshow for current pieces that pay homage to vintage Britney!

I love ALL of the designs from this cool new personalized card site. The designs of the cards are amazingly sophisticated and stylish. The best thing is that they will address and mail the cards for you. They will also add a personalized greeting, which by the way has sent many compliments my way. And yes, I am happy to take the credit! If you are shopping for Valentine’s Day cards, Paper Culture will donate 100% of this year’s Valentine’s Day Card proceeds to Haiti Relief. This is a wonderful way to send a Valentine’s greeting to your loved ones and to help send relief to those in need.

Meow! Cat Eye Sunglasses Bring Old School Glamour

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFemme fatales defined the 1950s with silver screen goddesses like Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield gracing movies and magazine covers with their hourglass figures, sexpot hair and come hither lashes. Women’s fashions were extremely feminine with full skirts, body hugging sheath dresses and voluminous hair, topped of with lady-like accessories like silk scarves, pretty pearls and cat eye frames that gave the wearer seductive almond shaped eyes. Alexander Wang’s debut sunglasses line features an exaggerated style of cat eye frames, available in black, tortoise shell and copper for a more up to date take on this classic shape. Whether you’re looking for something more modern or want to stick with the tried and true classic, cat eye frames give the wearer instant style cred and the feminine shape is flattering on just about everybody. Click on the slideshow to see some favorites and add a little bit of classic Hollywood glamour back into your wardrobe!

Add A Vintage Vibe To Your Jewelry Collection With Boudoir-Inspired Accessories!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe term boudoir may typically conjure up thoughts of a really ancient antique store full of gaudy Renaissance-style furniture… or faded photographs of retro-scandalous lingerie models. More glamorously, you may think of Marie Antoinette getting pampered in her own personal powder room boudoir (errr, before her fateful demise, that is). Either way, when translated to the realm of jewelry, boudoir-inspired baubles are elegantly vintage-chic in their ornate designs and toned-down pearly shades. Think pearls, lace, antiqued gold — things you might’ve found when raiding your great-great-great-great-great grandmother’s jewelry box. With a little modern flavor and the subtlest of Baroque influences, these vintage-y picks are anything but tacky (as long as you don’t pile them all on at once!) and make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for anyone who appreciates the glamour of time periods past! Check the slideshow for the selection!

Coquette Is Loving Classic Nautical Stripes For Spring

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThere’s a huge nautical influence coming up for Spring (note my previous post on ropes in fashion). My all-time favorite are nautical stripes. Navy and white or black and white — you take your pick. This look is timeless as seen on Coco Chanel in the 1930s, Audrey Tautou playing Chanel in the movie Coco Avant Chanel, and the lovely Audrey Hepburn in the 1960s. Pair these easy, breezy t-shirts with a single long-chain necklace (pearls, beads, or otherwise a la Chanel) and prepare to update your striped look for spring 2010. Click over to Coquette to see some more!

Hot In The Hive: Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Bloom

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSalvatore Ferragamo. Seven syllables that invoke classic luxury and elegance, but that also mean that I may as well just keep my wallet closed because it’s just not practical for me to shell out my life savings for one of their amazing handbags. One day, I’d like to be able to purchase Ferragamo on a whim, but for now, I’m just happy that they make luscious smelling fragrances that still allow me to be covered in head-to-toe Ferragamo for an affordable price. The newest eau de toilette from Ferragamo is Incanto Bloom, a deeper and more mature scent than the other Incanto variations we’ve seen so far. The scent is a seductive and rich blend of tea roses, musk and cashmere wood fused with the refreshingly flirty notes of freesia, grapefruit flowers and exotic champaca blossoms. It also comes in a chic, modern bottle topped of with a fashionable black and white bow cap that will make you covet the bottle even after all the perfume has been used. Plus, it’s just in time for Valentine’s Day and comes with it’s own bow, all wrapped and ready for spritzing. Add it to your wishlist now and start dropping those hints!

Price: $82.00
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Bloom Eau De Toilette to the Hive.
