Our video peek at a collection of sneakers designed by a new American classic
Call it a win for the marriage of technical details and fashion or just call it a win for style, either way Steven Alan’s collection for Nike Sportswear (launched today) has us wondering why the collaboration didn’t happen sooner. The five styles all draw on Nike’s archives and add Steven’s impeccably clean twist, which he explains in more detail in our video interview with him here.
This first collection from their new partnership drops tomorrow in Steven Alan stores and online.
 | We all tuned in for the Golden Globes, formed our own opinions on best and worst dressed, and cheered when our picks for best in category won. But when the main televised event is over, it’s the exclusive after-parties that steal the show! The W Magazine after party was a popular one with Mila Kunis and Olivia Wilde both making an appearance. Mila kept it shiny but sleek in black skinny pants and a sparkling tunic with plunging neckline. Classic black pumps and a casual up-do let the glittery number take center stage! Olivia Wilde showed up in a long, gold Grecian-inspired gown with a fitted top giving it a more modern vibe. Minimal makeup and jewelry plus loose bangs complete the look. Only a little further away, self-proclaimed princess, Paris Hilton made an appearance at the NBC afterparty in a sheer pink, sparkling, one-shoulder gown fit for … well … a princess! A pretty up-do and matching clutch added to the look. While all these celebs looked amazing, there can only be one winner! So who do you think looked the best at their Golden Globes after-party? Let us know by taking the poll below!

 | It’s official! Neutral tones are in for Spring! Soft taupes, caramel colored hues and light creams are popping up everywhere from runways to store fronts and we love it. Neutral tones immediately give off an air of classic sophistication and, being neutrals, mean that they are versatile enough to match almost anything! Whether your looking for a casually cute ensemble for the day, or looking to turn some heads at night, there’s something for everything. Add a little twist to your usual jeans and a white tee by trying a beige shirt, or retire the trusty LBD and opt for a camel hued mini and really stand out! A light cream looks just as amazing with black as it does with deep brown or red, or pair beige with white for a truly luxe look!

 | We love an LBD because it can go from work day (just throw a tailored jacket over it) to night time play in just seconds. It’s so versatile. That’s why this little bag has also won a place in our hearts. It’s small, but fits the essentials like lip gloss, phone, I.D. and money … and it’s a nice, creamy brown leather with gold details so it matches everything. But what really makes this bag special is the fact that it can go from day time to night time with ease – just remove the strap and you have a clutch! So next time you’re headed to work knowing you won’t have time to get home before your dinner date, then throw on your favorite LBD and strap on this cross-body bag. It will be such an easy transition, you’ll have time to get drinks before your meal to kill time, and who doesn’t like that?

 | The classic white shirt is always in style. I love that this season the shirt is loose like you’re borrowing it from his closet. It’s all about the boyfriend shirt, so pick one in classic white that will go with anything and everything! I love this Banana Republic Twill tape boyfriend shirt (at left, on sale for $34.99, limited sizes) and this Gap Tuxedo shirt (at right, on sale for $24.99, limited sizes). The front panel pintucked bib adds some fun decor to the mix.

 | News Flash – While some guy in Minnesota claims the stars have shifted, our zodiac signs have changed and now there’s suddenly a new, un-pronounceable sign to add to the charts (WTF?), we’ll defiantly stay true to the original astrological signs we are. In fact, we’ll remind the world that we want the sign we were born with by wearing it loud and proud around our necks! That’s why we like this zodiac necklace that comes in sterling silver with an 18″ long chain. It’s cute, expresses our individuality and our personalities perfectly and you can get it monogrammed to really make it your own. So get your sign on and let the world know – if you’re a Leo then roar, if you’re a Taurus then stand your ground and if you’re a Pisces then keep on living your dreams! And so on and so on. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Where to Buy – PBTeen.com Price – $49.00 Who Found It – SusanY was the first to add the ‘Zodiac Necklace’ to the Hive. |
 | Here at Stylehive, we love the long hems and layers that have been so in style these last few years so when the cropped top, belly-baring look made a comeback, we really didn’t know how to feel. But the look has grown on us and we’re starting to love the new ways that this throw back trend has made a few modern changes. With asymmetrical hems, various fabrics and fun design details, the cropped top has never been easier to wear! We know that the cropped top can be a discriminatory piece with those of us without washboard abs left wondering just how we’re supposed to pull off this trend without looking ridiculous. No worries! We’ve got five ways to style the cropped top that all look equally fashionable!

 | If there’s one thing I can’t get enough of, it’s boots of all shapes, heights, colors, and sizes – and I know I’m not alone! Ankle, mid-calf, knee-high, and over-the-knee – nearly anything goes nowadays when it comes to selecting what’s on-trend so the most difficult task often boils down to which you’d rather splurge on for the season ahead! But why settle for just one pair (or spend a fortune on multiple pairs of boots!) when you can get the best of both worlds (and transition from winter to spring), thanks to a pair of convertible foldover boots!
