Hot In The Hive: R.I.P. Tombstone Nail Color

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSo far, we’ve given you lots of options for Halloween makeup, in case you’re looking for an excuse to splurge on more dramatic products and shades you may normally not allow yourself to indulge in on any average day. But what if your beauty budget doesn’t exactly allow for high-end costume-y makeup you know you’ll never use again until it’s way past its expiration date? Luckily, the lines carried at Sephora aren’t the only ones boasting Halloween-friendly products — bargain drugstore brands are going festive with their shades too. Wet ‘N Wild’s costume-specific line, Fantasy Makers, has just released their own mini-collection of R.I.P. Tombstone Nail Polish just for the spooky season. While the three different shades (shiny black, multicolored glitter, and a sheer glow-in-the-dark shade) are pretty “Halloweenie,” they’re inexpensive enough to be worth the splurge. Plus, the bottle is totally cute, in an appropriately morbid sort of way…

Price: $2.50 each
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add R.I.P. Tombstone Nail Color to the Hive.

Hanukkah Trinkets And Treats For Eight Crazy Nights!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAs a kid, I fondly remember being far more excited about Hanukkah than say, my own birthday. I mean come on– eight nights of presents is so much better than one! Of course, that tradition sadly ended when I was around 10, and not long after, I was a tad crushed to find that the menorah I so diligently crafted in preschool (eight Lifesavers-turned-candle holders glued to a wooden plank- so modern!) had been replaced with a stainless steel one– growing up is tough. Nevertheless, I still look forward to the holiday with the same childlike excitement. Hanukkah begins at sundown this Friday, so click on the slideshow to see an assortment of Hanukkah trinkets and treats– jelly donuts and latkes not included!

The Perfect Little Jacket (For Under $100!)

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageI’m crushing for this BB Dakota Indigo Blue Marsh Jacket ($70 at chickdowntown.com). The jacket is a lightweight deep denim and the ruffles on the sleeve give the military look a much more softer feel. Pair it with a longer tee over skinnies (pants, jeans, leggings — just learned this term in NY, ha!) for a more casual look. Plus it’s totally affordable! When the weather gets more chilly wear a long sleeve shirt with color to make it pop like this yellow one shown here. Looove this look! To find out more, click on over to our friends at Coquette!

LemonDrop Suggests You “Trick Or Chic” With Fashion-Inspired Costume Ideas!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageCraving a Halloween costume that’s not so much scary as it is stylish? Why not pay homage to an iconic fashion personality? From a ghoulish Karl Lagerfeld to a monstrous cat-wielding Kenley Collins, these get-ups are just right for fashionistas who are less into “boo” and more into “Goo … cci.” How about Anna Wintour? Between her pow-wow with David Letterman and the success of “The September Issue,” it may just be the Year of the Icy British Editrix. Here’s what you’ll need:

-elegant dress or skirt suit
-bobbed wig with bangs
-fabulous heels
-devil’s accessories
-sunglasses
-copy of Vogue
-haughty attitude

You may not be able to snap your fingers and have a designer frock suddenly appear, but you can fake it. Simply throw on your finest skirt suit or dress (bearing in mind that Ms. Wintour does not do black), affix an inverted triangle Prada label you’ve cleverly made out of construction paper, stick some devil’s horns atop your bobbed wig, and slap on some giant black shades. Extra points for carrying a copy of Vogue or having your giant Andre Leon Talley lookalike BFF hover behind you in a cape. Click over to Lemondrop for three more clever ideas!

Small Space Storage Solutions For The Closet-less Fashionista

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLately I’ve been looking at apartments with some friends who are looking to move to a new place. While many have spacious kitchens, lots of windows, and large bedrooms, I’ve found that some have tiny closets or no closet at all! I’m certainly not a fan of using the hallway closet to hold all of my clothes along with the vacuum cleaner, but there are definitely options that can keep your clothes safely in your room. If you have a small closet, keep all your dresses, shirts, and pants inside the closet. Then make the most of your free wall space by adding something like the Fleur-De-Lys Hook Rack to hang your jackets and coats. For larger storage solutions for the closet-less, go for an armoire like this bamboo wardrobe (cute dog not included). An armoire may seem like a fortune to spend, but if you get a quality piece you love, you’ll keep it forever. Lastly, for the minimalist (in style and budget), a simple rolling rack may do just fine for less than $20. Take a peek at my slideshow to see it all!

LimeLife Reports: Madonna To Model For Dolce & Gabbana

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageMadonna is certainly all over the place these days. Instead of fading away as she gets older, she just seems to be getting more and more popular for more and more things (including dating a much, much younger man). And she’s still gorgeous enough to be modeling, too! Madonna is set to be the newest model for Dolce & Gabbana! And in case you didn’t know, it’s not the first time Madonna has worked with the popular designer. They actually designed the costumes for Madonna’s 1993 Girlie Show tour. And more recently, they just designed the costumes for her Sticky and Sweet tour. Since they’ve been working together for so long, it seems only natural for Madonna to start modeling for them, especially since she recently finished her stint as the spokesmodel for Louis Vuitton. According to Dolce & Gabbana themselves, “To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true.” We believe it! Click over to our friends at LimeLife to read more!

Chic Curtains Add Style And Shade To Your Room

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDo you ever wake up with the sun in your eyes? Sure it may be a natural wake up call, but surely there are days where you just want to sleep in. That means you should cover up those naked windows with some chic curtains! Curtains can shield your eyes (and your furniture) from the harsh sunlight, keep the cold or heat out, and make any room look more put together. Shopping for window treatments can be confusing so make sure you measure all the windows and bring the measurements with you to the store. It also helps to bring swatches of any furniture you have in the room to make sure none of the colors clash with your new curtains. Besides getting curtains, don’t forget the curtain rods, finials, holdbacks, and tiebacks. Take a look at my slideshow to see them all.
