This particular winter-inspired style, the Polka Dot Slant Tweezers, are festively cute in red and white, and are encrusted with Swarovski crystals for that extra twinkle.

Hot In The Hive: Kate Spade Hand In Hand Mittens

If you're having a hard time justifying all the inevitably expensive holiday gift-shopping this year in light of our current economic state, how about opting for a present that truly gives back? Famed accessories brand Kate Spade has recently formed a partnership with Women for Women International known as the Hand In Hand program, which employs war survivors from Bosnia, giving them a chance to get their future back on track. The result? A collection of hand-knit winter accessories, including these Colorblock Mittens, that keep you warm during the dreary weather ahead while the proceeds help women abroad rebuild their lives. If that's not incentive to spread some Christmas joy this season despite your dismal paycheck, I don't know what is!

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!

Halloween Costume Ideas For $20 Or Less!

So unless you've been living under a rock, or have holed yourself up in a dark room, I'm sure you've noticed by now that it is pretty much Halloween. It's this Saturday and maybe you've been thinking about finding something cool to go as or just finding any costume, really, so you can join in on the Halloween spirit and festivities. But what about that bank account? Halloween is still a great deal of fun for any age, but now that you understand the value of a dollar more than you did when you were five, you realize that blowing upwards of three figures for one night that you'll remember through a haze is not that a great of an idea. Your rent is due soon, there's that bill you really can't put off anymore and the Holiday season is fast approaching as well. Have no fear (except for those ghosts and goblins that'll be roaming around in a few days), because after doing extensive searching and bargaining hunting, I've found quite a few Halloween accessories that are easy on the pocketbook and, when added to clothing and accessories that you and your friends already have, make a great costume for cheap! Click on the slideshow to see some great Halloween costume ideas that'll leave enough money in your wallet to buy your own Halloween treats!

Ha Ha Halloween: Outrageously Funny Halloween Costumes!

Although no one ever seems to tire of the sexy devils, bumble bees, and bunnies skimping around town on Halloween, the outfits that take the prize are the ones that make us laugh. The guys always get me to smile with their kissing booths and giant banana costumes, but a girl with the confidence to goof around with her look makes a memorable impression! A route certain to turn heads is the creative one, and while they all can't be found in stores (like last year's Sarah Palin and Joe The Plumber), if you can cue in to some of pop culture's latest cover-story conundrums or recent icons (think, literally, Rachel Zoe), you're a goofy god. Sure to flaunt your funny bone, however, is a classic like some num-nums or a young one, and a slew of other clever, time-appropriate ensembles! Yeah, the overused pirate or pixie gear this Halloween will look cute, but nothings cuter than the gall of a girl who can walk around town wrapped in a giant gorilla hand.! Click through this slideshow to see some of the funniest costumes to goof about in this year.

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

Babes In Boo-land: Halloween Costumes For Little Ones!

At age one, I was a mouse, and front-page news for winning my small town's Halloween costume contest. While my fifteen minutes of fame has come and gone, there may be a little one in your life who has a winning future too. Yes, sometimes toddlers don't like costumes -- or clothes in general, for that matter -- but wrestling them into an over-sized, plush lobster may just be worth the hassle. It's probably true that junior won't remember his or her first anything let alone the first October 31st, but the pictures will live to tell the story of a good costume. The best thing about these costumes is that they're timeless, and certainly reusable for the next little nugget that will fit into them. Don't make them too scary though -- the thought of getting a toddler into a costume is frightening enough. Click through the slideshow for some adorable Halloween costumes for babies!
