Resolve To Get Organized In 2010 With Personal Organizers & Planners!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOne quick glance at my desk at home and it’s painfully clear that one of my New Year’s resolutions is to get organized. And sure, it’s easy to get motivated when it’s only the first week of January and I’m still in “fresh start” mode, but once the laziness kicks in it’s going to be a serious struggle to avoid reverting back to my old disheveled ways. That’s why I’m on the prowl for stylish ways to keep me efficient for 2010 — messenger bags, laptop cases, agendas, etc. After all, what better motivation to stay tidy than a brand new bag? And even if your list of resolutions is too long to include staying orderly (or maybe you’re already enough of a neat freak already), these picks are still practical additions to anyone’s shopping list. Check out the slideshow for my favorite get-organized buys for a neat-and-tidy new year!

10 Stylish Sweater Dresses To Keep You Cozily Chic!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI love wearing dresses and just about anything that involves skipping pants. Especially when paired with boots, dresses, skirts and leggings are so much more comfortable than a pair of jeans. Yet, with the cold weather that we’re experiencing, it’s hard to throw on a breezy dress without also adding a bulky coat and multiple scarves to keep from freezing. A simple solution? Sweater dresses! They’re thicker and warmer so you can trade out that heavy coat for a lighter one, and keep a few scarves at home instead of piling them all on your neck. Pretty prints, saturated solids, or with long sleeves or none, sweater dresses come in a variety of looks and styles so you’ll be sure to find one that suits your personal taste and local weather! Just check out the slideshow to see some of my favorites!

Hot In The Hive: Cuaderno Bandada Cube Octahedron Rings

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageMarilyn Monroe told us that a diamond is a girls best friend and you’d be hard pressed to find a chick that disagrees! And if diamonds are a girls best friend, then these Bandada Cube Octahedron rings are the edgy and rebellious friends from across town that your mother has forbidden you to see, but you do anyway because they’re just so darn cool. Based out of beautiful Barcelona, Cuaderno Bandada is a brand that believes in merging jewelry design with product and graphic art and creating something unique. With an underlying message of wanting people to have an awareness of our relationship with the world and a consciousness of taking care of all that is important, Cuaderno Bandada uses handcrafted skills and industrial finishes to complete their jewelry. The Cube Octahedron rings resemble diamonds with their faceted shape but are in fact made of silver or 22K gold.

Price: Please contact: bandada2008@yahoo.es for pricing
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Cuaderno Bandada Cube Octahedron Ring to the Hive.

Be A Snow Bunny In Lush Winter White!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI’m a little obsessed with white right now. We all know it’s a refreshing color for hotter weather, but often times, we forget that it’s just as eye-catching and flattering during the winter season. Just because the days are a little duskier and night falls much earlier these days, it doesn’t mean that our wardrobes have to consist of only grey and black! White is luxurious as a plush sweater, luminescent as a winter coat, and positively angelic as a cashmere wrap. It doesn’t matter if there’s actual snow in your area or not — just pick out a few cold weather staples in white and be a snow bunny throughout the cold weather months. Plus, white matches almost every color, especially the darker tones that have taken over your wardrobe, so click on the slideshow to see some of my favorite luxe white picks!

Let Your New Year’s Look Take Flight With Feathers

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLooking for something for New Year’s Eve or just a fun night out with girls? From leather to fur, luxe fabrics have been everywhere this fall and winter. Try some feathers to really make your look take flight. Feathers can bring a whimsical and quirky feel to your overall look. The key to the trend is elegance, so stick with black or neutral colored feathers; it’s not about the cheesy bright pink faux-feather boas or light pink powder puff looks. Seek out expensive looking feathers, with interesting patterns or subtle colors variations in dark feathers. Ostrich, peacock and marabou are some great ones to looks out for. Accessories like shoes, headbands and jewelry are an easy way to play with feathers. On clothing they can add some bulk so they’re a great way to even out your figure. Need a little oomph on top? wear a feather vest or a feather adorned tee. Looking to add some curves to your hips? Try a feather duster mini skirt. Check out the slideshow for fun ways to play with plumage!
