Hot Hiver: HippiePrincess - Inside Her Den - Stylehive

Stylehive: If money was no issue, what 3 items would you buy from the Hive?

I want to get away!
1. New Majestic Hotel
2. Huvafen Fushi Maldives
3. Hotel Fox

SH: What are the 5 websites you must check everyday?
1. Decor8 - I can relate to how Holly thinks. I hope this doesn't scare you, Holly!
2. Oh Joy! - For my "girly" side.
3. Design*Sponge - I've found a LOT of great design sources from Grace.
4. NotCot - Great site for funkier/artsy design and fashion.
5. Crib Candy - Great finds for the home!


SH: Where do you find inspiration? Everywhere! In magazines, I have a magazine addiction, I think. I rip out pages and put them into folders or just tack them onto my inspiration board by my desk. On the web - a lot of my bookmarks are things that I won't actually purchase, but I liked how the the designer came up with an idea, or I liked how the artist used color, certain graphics or prints, from talking to my brother who has a degree in industrial design. And from shopping with my sister - I designed my entire living room around curtains she found while we were shopping on a trip.


SH: If you had to be an animal, what animal would you be? A lion. I'm an Aries; we like being the "king" of EVERYthing!


SH: Which TV show character are you? Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy- a perfectionist with commitment issues! I even used to study medicine. When I was younger, I was the annoying kid in class raising her hand going, "Ohhh...Ohhh...I know, I know!"


SH: What do you do when you're not Hiving? Go to school part-time for interior design, work - merchandising, take yoga classes, and spend time with my other half and my family/friends.


SH: What is the worst date you've ever been on? My answer wouldn't be fit to print, so I'll tell you about another one. About 1/2 hour into the date, the guy said, "Have you ever considered getting implants? My ex-girlfriend and my mother both have them."


SH: What style item can you not get enough of? All of a sudden, I've been obsessed with silk tops and dresses with Pucci-like prints. Oh, and rings- funky, fun, large cocktail rings.


SH: If you could have dinner with 3 Stylehivers, who would they be?
1. Kingbee - I am curious as to how and why he started the Hive and the amount of work that goes on behind it.
2. Myriah - Her picks are the things I'd actually buy, so we may have some common interests.
3. Honeybee- I like her hive since it appeals to the other side of me- more artsy/urban, with an edge.
