Hasta La Ideas

Try lightening your load and instead of lugging a big purse around, toss all the extras aside and just have the basics for a night … maybe (dare we say it??) even leave the cell phone behind!

Okay, that may be taking it a bit far, but you can definitely make things a tad bit sleeker with this Floral Engraved ID Case from Forever 21. It’s part of their “Fabulous Finds” so it’s only $4.50 but looks so much more expensive than that!

With this vintage look, you’ll fool everyone into thinking you spent all weekend rummaging through garage sale piles for this sweet trinket. It’s got two straps inside to hold your money, credit cards, and ID in place, and really, maybe that’s all you need to carry with you this weekend!

Where to Buy – Forever21

Price – $4.50

Who Found It – LTopiol was the first to add the ‘Floral Engraved ID Case‘ to the Hive.

After a weeks worth of neck to neck voting, they have been tallied and it seems like Hivers think that she’s just as beautiful with or without, but her shaved platinum look has eeked into first place!

And hair aside, we’re also digging Amber Rose’s sexy ensemble! We love the the hot pink strapless mini that she paired with nude platform pumps.

This season’s favorite girly look has had a major runway makeover. The once dainty flower bud prints have turned into blooming bouquets. The 2012 Resort collections where filled with the bold and botanical prints by Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and Celine.

As our flowers finally open up, so do our closets and that’s why we’re showing you how to Do It Yourself! This fun fashion craft will turn you into a textile pro!

What you’ll need-

-iron on transfer paper
-a piece of cotton clothing- we used a striped tee shirt
-images of flowers
-iron
-scissors
-Pillowcase

Step 1 – Find a few images of flowers that you love and print them from your computer onto the transfer paper.

Step 2 -Place the pillowcase on a flat, hard surface and lay your shirt on top.

Step 3 -Cut out your flower images and arrange them face down in your desired pattern.

Step 4 -Heat your iron on the cotton setting. Firmly press the iron onto the transfer for 30 seconds covering the entire image.

Step 5 -Repeat this step for each flower you adhere. Let the images cool and remove the paper and your new floral digs are ready to wear!

A big bag is cumbersome and makes you look too serious and a cross-body bag is too casual. The perfect solution? A little clutch.

And we love this little leather one from Asos so much that we had to single it out. It has a simple shape with a flap closure and comes in a bright, turquoise color that’s sure to get everyone’s attention.

There’s no doubt you’ll love it too and feel like it’s the perfect complement to your LBD or floral number.

Stripe it rich this summer with the perfect lightweight sweater to throw over all you favorite shorts and capris, or even a bikini, after a long day at the beach!

J.Crew’s stripebreaker sweater is one of our favorites. In this season’s preferred graphic of bold stripes, it’s offered in two color combos … a nautical inspired navy and cream as well as a honey yellow and cream.

Made of airy cotton, the classic crewneck is updated in a boxy, shorter shaped silhouette making it less preppy, but rather edgy and cool.

Surely a piece you€™ll wear again and again from the summer straight into fall.

Where to Buy – J. Crew

Price – $78.00
