kristintheory@stylehive.com (Kristin ) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 04:18:41 PST

Hailing all the way from sunny Perth, Australia, today's featured Stylehiver nkatt gives you a glimpse into her funky vintage-inspired Hive. Almost every save seems to be a modern interpretation of a classic retro fave from one era or another, with black, lace, leopard, and red dominating the mix. While this tunic-style camisole in bold leopard may technically be lingerie, it is definitely worthy of a night on the town with some skinny jeans and heels. Don't miss a unique velvet Rose Hair Clip complete with peacock feathers - a special piece that will really attract some attention. And this skirt by Tina Kalivas is the perfect combination of femininity and edge with its flirty, ruffly hemline. Another fun save is a red Nas Vintage-Retro Handbag in a faux lizard skin that could rev-up any basic outfit. Finally, open Pandora's box to find this silver ring, nkatt's must-have accessory of choice. So what are you waiting for? Go search through her Hive for more glamorous retro finds!

Stylehiver 'Shopatista' Adds Steampunk Sensibility To Japanese-Inspired Style!

In my constant search for new and interesting Hivers to follow, I came across Shopatista- a veteran Hiver of over a year. Shopatista's style combines Japanese-inspired streetwear with the unique look of Steampunk- a Victorian aesthetic with a gothic sensibility, like this old-fashioned gown with a bustle. With Tokidoki, L.A.M.B., Artful Dodger, and Harajuku Lovers as some of her favorite clothing brands, it's clear to me that Shopatista is inspired by Japanese culture and street fashion, but she also loves to incorporate the unusual and the creative with her penchant for all things Etsy. After perusing all of her interesting fashion finds, I'm curious how Shopatista weaves these unique styles into one look- we're waiting for the day she starts her own StyleDiary! Check out some of my favorite items from Shopatista's Hive, and also be sure to click on over to her profile for more stylish saves!
