Catch The Sunset At Mexico's Stylish St. Regis Punta Mita

modernluxury@stylehive.com (Modern Luxury ) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:21:40 PST

Indulge in a Sunset Martini at the St. Regis Punta Mita, which promises to provide you with Mexico's best location for watching the sun's descent below the horizon. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this resort integrates natural elements evocative of gardens and the beach into its design. While you'll be mere steps away from the sea (since all guestrooms overlook the water), feel free to kick back in any of the property's three on-site infinity pools, as well. When hunger strikes, choose from a fantastic selection of restaurants, most notably Carolina, a fine-dining establishment serving international fare. Don't leave without a visit to Remede Spa, where you can enjoy customized service at this world-renowned facility.

Sultry V-Day Date-Night Makeup Inspired By Givenchy

xgalexy@stylehive.com (Alex Gambardella) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 08:37:40 PST

Usually Valentine's Day makeup is a kitschy no-brainer: shiny red lips, pink glitter, maybe some baby blue shadow to stay consistent with the whole sugary sweetheart theme. But let's face it -- you're not in 7th grade anymore, and that obnoxiously festive color combo is hardly forgivable even when the holiday begs for it. In fact, ever since we caught sight of the backstage pictures from Givenchy's Spring/Summer 2010 haute couture show, we couldn't help but be enamored with a much more seductive, more alluring, more mature take on date-night makeup. Twinkling smoky eyes featuring darker than dark midnight blue shadow and brick red lips... who knew it was possible to pull off smoky eyes and bold lips at the same time? While full-on stage makeup may scare your date off, you can still adapt the runway look for an ultra-romantic night out with sparkly navy shadow and matte lips. Check the slideshow for some products that'll help capture the captivating look! Photo Credit: Jak & Jil

Hot In The Hive: The Juicy Couture Multi Keys Necklace

facadeindreams@stylehive.com (Anna Yu) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:18:40 PST

Face it, we're all suckers for fancy packaging. If faced with a beautifully packaged gift versus a equally thoughtful gift wrapped in the Sunday funny pages, I'd most likely look forward to unwrapping the former first. So whenever Valentine's Day rolls around, I always look to Juicy Couture for their totally covetable gifts. Whether it's their cute handbags or flirty dresses, there's always something for everyone. I say, who needs a beau when you've got Juicy? Their latest jewelry collection for Valentine's Day is romantic yet wearable throughout the year. The Juicy Couture Multi Keys Necklace comes with 3 silver vintage inspired skeleton keys and a padlock heart on a long chain necklace. Wear it with jeans and a t-shirt to add some pizazz, or with a cocktail dress on a night out. So definitely drop some hints to your special someone or go ahead and treat yourself!

Price: $68
Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Juicy Couture Multi Keys Necklace to the Hive.

The Budget Babe Dares You To Spot the Steal: Floral and Striped Dresses

idabone@stylehive.com (Ida Hsiang) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:26:40 PST

With all the crazy things happening in fashion and trends, it seems like anything goes these days! The latest look to make it big unexpectedly? Stripes mixed with floral prints are an unlikely match made in fashion heaven, and some designers have combined the two within a single garment to make the whole print-matching task that much easier. Contrasting colors and feminine florals make this pairing versatile and unique and a must-have look for Spring! See if you can guess which of these four frocks does the stripe-flower-dance for under $50 (and which two cost closer to $1,000 a piece!).

Fashion Favorite: Celebs Love Denimocracy 'Jeggings!'

BreeBee@stylehive.com (Sabrina Newman) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:18:40 PST

I am a big fan of skinny bottoms and have countless pairs of skinny jeans and leggings. However, jeans can sometimes feel too restrictive (especially if you've put on a few pounds of winter weight), and let's be honest, leggings can't be worn with tops that hit above your hips unless you're pencil thin. Enter Denimocracy and their fantastic line of "jeggings," which are made to look like denim and feel like leggings. Their incredibly cool and flattering styles are perfect for days when you want the comfort of leggings but the look of denim, which is me every day since I got a pair! They come in a variety of awesome washes that pay homage to the likes of "Benatar" and "Bowie" (I especially love the acid wash styles), and are perfect for adding a bit of rock 'n' roll to your look. It's no wonder celebrities such as Katherine Heigl, Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Katie Holmes and Lauren Conrad are all big fans. The best part? All the styles retail for under $80!

Cute Valentine's Day Gifts Under $20

facadeindreams@stylehive.com (Anna Yu) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 02:25:40 PST

Valentine's Day is definitely a romantic holiday, but it's also a stressful time for any gift giver. While couples who have been together for years and years may have their Valentine's Day routine down to a tee, new couples may have some more trouble. Of course, no one expects an expensive diamond necklace after the 4th date, but a small trinket declaring one's puppy love is always appreciated. That's why I've found plenty of cute and thoughtful gifts under $20! For the beauty guru, give the gift of lipgloss with the Mini Super Shimmer Gift Set. Even if you and your fellow single friends aren't celebrating the holiday in a typical fashion, it's nice to give a little something to show your affection, right? I think a magic frog to prince fits the bill perfectly. And if you're without a clue on what to give that special someone you may or may not be ready to call your significant other, take a peek at my slideshow!

Enter To Win One Of FIVE Copies Of The September Issue On DVD!

lisannebee@stylehive.com (Lisanne Silverman) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:18:40 PST

For many, an opportunity to go behind the scenes at Vogue would be a dream. For others, like Andy in the 2006 comedy/drama The Devil Wears Prada, "nightmare" is the word that comes to mind. And for everyone else, well, it's simply a mystery. Who could possibly fear a place with so many shoes? Directed by R.J. Cutler, The September Issue takes us through the making of the most important issue of fashion's premiere publication and brings us face to face with editor in chief Anna Wintour herself, sans sunglasses (if you can believe it.) Models, celebrities, photographers, and other masthead fixtures like creative director Grace Coddington add to the 90 exceptional minutes that Entertainment Weekly hails as "dishy, glitzy, vibrant and sensationally fun." Available as a two-disc "Double Issue" DVD containing extensive bonus materials, including over 90 minutes of never-before-seen deleted scenes, audio commentary with the director and a photo gallery, The September Issue will be hitting stores on February 23, 2010. In honor of the upcoming release, we're giving readers the chance to win one of FIVE copies, each valued at $29.98. Read on to find out how to enter, and see the trailer here!

Stand Out In Powerhouse Pink Like Kristin Cavallari

BreeBee@stylehive.com (Sabrina Newman) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:23:40 PST

Always one to command attention, Hills vixen Kristin Cavallari made a show-stopping splash at the L.A. premiere of When in Rome thanks to her powerhouse pink Naven frock. This color is definitely one of my favorites for obvious reasons- it is stunning and so flattering against all skin tones. Powerhouse pink can make even the greatest of wallflowers come out of their shells and is the kind of color that delivers instant confidence. There really is no wrong way to wear it! Team it with neutrals for a subdued effect or with black for a more edgy vibe. Either way, this dress was made to do all the talking, so take a cue from Kristin and keep the accessories to a minimum. Check out my slideshow to get the exact dress seen on Kristin and for similar options!
