Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Winter Escape Set

What is it about festive drinks like hot apple cider and eggnog that gets me into the holiday mood (even when the unseasonable 70 degree weather outside is really betraying my pre-Christmas spirit)? No matter what the forecast, one sip of hot chocolate and I'm instantly transported out of my uncomfortable heels and straight to the ski lodge, all warm and cozy in a Snuggie (or not). But what's even better -- now you can enjoy the yummy winter-warmness of the season even in the shower! Philosophy's Winter Escape Set comes complete with a trio of peppermint hot chocolate-themed products: shower gel, lotion, and lip shine, all wrapped in an adorable winter cottage box. Sure, it's not the same as drinking cocoa by the fire (I'm pretty sure downing this won't taste good), but lathering up with anything cocoa and marshmallow-scented, paired with the comfy steaminess of your shower, is probably the next best thing! The set also makes a super cute gift to anyone who loves at-home pampering!

Hot In The Hive: Food Print Bowls

Have you ever been tricked by a mirror? No, I'm not talking about those dressing room mirrors that make anyone look like Gisele. I'm talking about mirrored walls that make rooms look bigger or half-filled mirrored bowls that make it seem like it's filled with endless treats. Yup, I've definitely gotten tricked by mirrors! This time, it's not a mirror that has tricked me, but trompe l'oeil print instead. I found these food print bowls from Dutch by Design and was instantly charmed by them. The outside of the bowls look quite ordinary, but once you peek inside, a convincing print of popcorn, chips, salad greens, french fries, and more can be seen. I can imagine filling the popcorn bowl with popcorn and watching my friends try and get the last kernel only to be tricked! The hard part is deciding which one to get!

Hot In The Hive: Revo Heritage Table Radio

Sure, retro "gadgets" may look cool in a stylishly old-fashioned sort of way, but when it comes to actually using them, our geeky reliance on modern-day tech has us too cyber-spoiled and impatient to put any effort in something that can't keep up with our 3G speediness. The solution? A techie piece of equipment that just looks vintage, but packs all the convenient specs and capabilities of the most recent releases in the gadget world. The Revo Heritage Table Radio has the 60s-style walnut veneer surface, but boasts some seriously modern features in that retro-looking package: an iPod dock, WiFi for all your favorite internet stations, wireless streaming from your laptop, a remote control for maximum laziness, and even an alarm clock in case you doze off while listening to your tunes. It's the perfect device for the music lover who may have an old soul... but secretly can't live without a healthy dose of modern tech!

Hot In The Hive: Purse Flats!

Who says you need to sacrifice quality for comfort? Purse Flats are comfy portable shoes that fold up neatly into a cute accompanying clutch to salvage stiletto-sore feet on the dance floor, out on the town, or even during long meetings at work. Since they've been spotted on Mya during her "Dancing With The Stars" rehearsals, you gotta figure they must be pretty comfortable, not to mention sturdy! Sure, they're not as affordable as the vending machine Rollasole version, but a portion of the proceeds is donated to support underprivileged youth! Plus, since I have yet to find a shoe dispenser at any club I've been to, Purse Flats sound like a pretty dependable alternative on the go!


Price: $240, includes purse & flats

Hot In The Hive: Tarte "Be Good To Your Mother (Earth)" Tote Set

Just because Earth Day isn't even remotely close to approaching doesn't mean you shouldn't take every opportunity to treat our planet right! Tarte's Be Good To Your Mother (Earth) Tote Set is a trio of their SPF Lip Sheers encased in recycled aluminum that comes in a super-cute reusable cotton tote. Use the tote for more eco-friendly grocery shopping, or just use it as your everyday carry-all to spread the green love during the official Earth Day "off-season." And what better reason to splurge on a beauty buy than saving the world?

Hot In The Hive: Alessi 'Carlo' Ghost Bottle Cap

You're never too old to celebrate Halloween! While you may not be looking for a crazy costume party to go crash, a ghoulish get-together with friends may be just the thing for some Halloween fun. The decor is done, the scarily tasty menu has been decided and your outfit for your Halloween night is appropriately black and orange. A few bottles of wine to pop open and you're all set. Don't forget to grab Carlo! He's a ghostly little guy that is too cute to be scary and loves to sit on top or your wine bottles as a festive bottle cap (if, for some reason, you don't finish all the wine in one night). Designed by Alessi, the Carlo bottle cap comes in a variety of colors and is cheap enough so you can buy a few to add to your Halloween fun. You did finish all the wine? They're just as cute and festive sitting around the table and mingling with the guests!

Hot In The Hive: Clinique BCA "Great Lips, Great Cause" Keychain

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month , Clinique, among a variety of other supportive beauty brands, is doing their part to spread awareness and benefit the cause with limited edition products sold exclusively at Sephora. Their BCA "Great Lips, Great Cause" Keychain is a pink ribboned product that actually does give back (because we've seen too many items for sale this month that don't donate any proceeds!); in fact, $10 of the $19 price tag is donated to BCRF! And if the sake of the great cause isn't enough motivation to buy, the keychain itself is totally cute and comes equipped with three of Clinique's top-selling Long Last Glosswear shades! You can't go wrong with a good bargain that's also a good deed! Grab one quick while it's still October!

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

So 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

Hot In The Hive: Michael Kors Very Hollywood Solid Perfume Cocktail Ring

Ok, I can't be the only person who's ecstatic about the return of Michael Kors as a judge on Project Runway, right? I didn't know I could miss his clever and biting quips ("slutty slutty slutty" and "insane crotch" come to mind) more than Heidi Klum misses being pregnant. Michael Kors has the American sportswear market cornered with his sophisticated yet effortlessly styled clothing. So I wasn't surprised when browsing through Sephora that he's lent his name to various fragrances too. Of course, Michael understands the value of having something with multiple functions. His Very Hollywood Solid Perfume Cocktail Ring definitely fits the bill because it may look like a showstopping cocktail ring, but if you slide the gem over, it's also a solid perfume. The Very Hollywood perfume has notes of sparkling mandarin, gardenia, and vetiver for a fresh yet distinctive scent. Go ahead, dab some on at your pulse points and get ready to steal the show!

Hot In The Hive: Giuseppe Zanotti Swarovski-Embellished Sandals

Giuseppe Zanotti was born in San Mauro Pascoli, an Italian town by the Adriatic Sea with a long tradition in shoemaking. He's been making shoes for over twenty years, first as a design apprentice and now for his eponymous line. His designs are known for being high quality, unique, and of course, totally sexy. One of his latest creations is no exception to the rule. His Swarovski-embellished sandals are over the top and super glamorous. I think they'd be the perfect pair of shoes to wear if you're going to a fashionable Halloween costume party whether you're dressed as a witch or even as Victoria Beckham. Of course, if you're going to spend over $1000 on a pair of shoes, you've got to be able to wear them again! You can wear them to get over an ex or to all the holiday parties coming up soon. If you don't know how to already, start learning how to handle all the compliments you're going to get!
