Linea Pelle Chic Belts

image
Since the waist is a strategic place in the silhouette of a woman, the belt is certainly a girl's best ally, as Lauren Conrad (fashion designer and television personality) so aptly put it.


A belt can be used in a large variety of clothes - dresses, sweaters, baby doll shirts, coats and others. They create a waist in voluminous clothes that do not have any. The belt therefore creates the much-desired sensuous silhouette in any attire.


The biggest advantage of a belt is that it is very versatile. It completely changes the way a dress can appear. By simply changing a belt, one can wear a single dress in a different way several times. The belt is a key tool in creating one€™s own personal look.


The Linea Pelle Collection is certainly one of the best innovations that we have seen in recent years in the domain of the belt. For example, the Woven Medallion Waist Belt is a wide belt that is to be
worn quite high on the waist. Completely made of leather, this exquisite piece makes any dress into a full fashion statement. It is certainly the centre-piece of any attire.

These days days the world is all technology and fast-paced business - iPods, laptops, smart phones, the latest gaming systems. It can become very consuming, and we don't all have the time and luxury to take off for a weekend trip.


But StyleHive has found a way to feel more connected with the earth - and it involves accessorizing! Tribal prints have been big for summer so it seemed like the perfect place to start on the road to rediscovery.

Get Her Look - Ashlee Simpson's Office-Friendly Animal Print

image
There are some parties where your favorite "freakum dress" is a huge no-no ... like the office party.


While a low neckline and a high hemline are inappropriate anytime your boss is around, you can have some fun with your office party look.


Take inspiration from Ashlee Simpson's head-to-toe Mara Hoffman ensemble. The animal print is wild, but the style of the dress is conservative. Her arms have some coverage, and the hem hits mid-thigh. Ashlee popped the yellowish-brown animal print with red strappy sandals and pendant necklace.


You'll turn your coworkers' heads in a good way with this festive yet office-friendly look. So the next time you're attending an office party or happy hour with coworkers, leave your LBD in the closet ... this is your look! Get the details below.
