Hasta La Ideas

They’re best known for their vinyl wallets that feature a one-of-a-kind design from different artists. They’re fun, colorful and perfect for summer activities like concerts, BBQs and poolside parties (the vinyl makes them the perfect waterproof accessory!).

We think these wallets are unique and we love them … and we’re pretty sure you will too so we’re giving them away to three lucky Hivers!

And to one really lucky Hiver, we’re giving away one of Poketo’s upcyled clutches and a daily planner! In an eco-friendly move, Poketo takes used couches and leather goods to make super cute leather accessories to give these leather pieces a second life as something fashionable.

All you have to do to enter is make a quick shopping guide of 6 must-have summer accessories here!

Dip-Dyed Hair – This hair trend allows you to really have some fun without doing anything too drastic. Simply choose a color that you want (try a few shades lighter than your hair color for a subtle look, or go for a head turning hue like red or blue for Fourth of July!). Simply section your hair into three parts and tie your hair off with an elastic to the point where you want the dyed color to stop. Brush the hair dye paste onto the ends and let it sit for 20 mins. (times vary be dye). Rinse and voila!

Two-Tone French Manicure – French manicures are always a classic, but punch it up for summer by picking bright hues! A white base with red and blue tips are great for Independence Day, or try out a neon combo for an even more electrifying look! Paint 2 coats of the chosen base color onto your nails, allowing ample time to dry (this beauty tip works best when the base color is lighter than the tip). Using nail tape, or just a very steady hand, paint an even strip of the second color across the tip of your nails. Repeat for a more saturated color then finish with a shiny top coat when dry!

Boldly Colored Eye-Liner – When it’s hot out, the last thing you want is heavy makeup that can clog pores or melt in the summer heat. But that doesn’t mean you have to go bare! Simple line your upper and lower lids with a vibrantly colored eyeliner and finish off with a light coat of waterproof mascara. This beauty tip is guaranteed to be eye-catching (pun intended)! We’re loving teal, violet and … for the truly bold … deep orange!

With her newest single, ‘Run The World’, Bey offers up a sick beat and an empowering message for women everywhere that’ll get you moving and proud to be of the female gender.

Plus, message and lyrics aside, it’s the show-stopping, eye-catching, powerful and sexy ensembles that have us renewing our girl-crushes on Beyonce and excited that we can use her take-no-prisoners approach to style to inspire our own looks.

Moroccan and Arabian inspired jewelry and garments, lots of gold hardware, thigh-high slits and other sensual details … what’s not to love? Watch her hot new ‘Run The World’ video, then click on the slideshow to get inspired!

One of the most lovely pieces is the flowing, jersey, button up maxi by Spring & Clifton, a New York-based label started by California-born Michelle Zacks. Her luscious knitwear has both the bohemian sentimentality of California with the sophistication of New York.

This skirt is no exception. It’s long and black for the new york set but you wouldn’t look crazy wearing this to the beach or The Grove. The high slit is sexy and buttons look great on the fabric. The jersey renders this skirt casual when any other fabric could have made it goth-y and less wearable.

Wear this skirt with flats or heels, with a flowy shirt or muted tank.

Oh, and? It’s on SALE!

Who Found It – BrookeElisabeth was the first to add the ONE by Spring & Clifton Elmira Maxi Skirt to the Hive.

You’ve found the perfect bikini (or two), the cutest sandals, some killer shades and … what a pity to stuff them into a plain, boring tote or … dare we say it?? A crinkly, bummy plastic shopping bag.

Sure, a beach bag is just for you to hold your stuff in, but that doesn’t mean you can’t express yourself through it! We’re thinking something roomy that you can stash everything in, but crushable or pliable so you can lay on it, stuff it in between the other bags or toss it onto the beach towel with no worries. Something eye-catching – bright colors, cool prints – also makes for a stylish beach tote.

And with a beach tote, you don’t have to spend a lot to get a lot! Check out these fashionable faves for $25 or less!
