Stylehive's Stylescopes Help You Keep Your Cash In One Place With A Shiny New Wallet!

Thanksgiving is this week, followed closely by the season of gift giving and package sending. The stars predict a little bit of chaos for us all, but that's not hard to believe with all the planning that usually takes place this time of year. Holiday cheer and chaos can be fun-filled and festive, but it can also put a pretty big hole in the savings funds. Before you make a mad dash for the stores and lose yourself in a Christmas shopping debacle, treat yourself to something nice and practical! Star alignment says that we're all going to be spending at least a little on others (especially uber-generous Pisces), but let's not forget about our own needs and joys, either! A cute new wallet is just what you need to stylishly keep all your money in one place and is the perfect piece to bring along while shopping for friends and family. Click on the slideshow to see what the stars have decided is your winning wallet! And check out what the stars have to say about the perfect pocketbook for your mom or a best friend, too.

Tread Lightly And Sling On A Small Satchel

Big purses have their moments: they're great for beaches, books and boho looks. There are, however, more simplistic ways of toting around all your stuff -- and, let's face it, not look like a bag lady. Though our clutches are a great way to shed the extra pounds of bag, they're not good for much more than a phone, credit card, and lip gloss. A small satchel is somewhere in between, is straight to the point about what it can fit, and because of its size, is cute in its own kiddie-sized travel tote kind of way. Click through a sampling of small satchels in this slideshow and find the perfect sized sack for all of your toting needs!

Add Tribal Flair To Your Look With Native American-Inspired Designs

Tribal accents have always been equal parts intriguing and cozy. Whether they're in the form of art or knick-knacks, it's hard not to enjoy the look of artisan craftsmanship mixed with a sense of wilderness wonder. So why not wear it? Spruce up your vintage wear and add a little bit of old New World style. This fall, the Native American look is an irresistible trend that's hitting mainstream design in forms of bold, bright colors, arrow-like patterns, tiny embroidered beads, and fringe. The trend is a refined niche of boho style that's even a bit reminiscent of the late '60s Woodstock era. Embrace the spirit of the Native American-inspired styles in my slideshow!

Save Up To 80% On Luxury High-End Fashion And Accessories At RowNine.com!

Sometimes you have to dig through a lot of fluff to find a true gem. Translation: most stores are filled with a lot of things we really don't want, and not nearly enough of things we actually do want. Or maybe we're all just picky, and while there's a time and a place for a leisurely stroll through a store's web site or even a frantic sale section search, sometimes you just want what you want, you know? That's what makes RowNine different from every other invite-only sample sale website out there. The site is 100% dedicated to high-end luxury brands and products, meaning you won't have to sort through virtual racks of Juicy Couture on your quest for Versace and Montblanc (not that we don't love our Juicy, but you get the idea).

Founded by retail experts whose portfolios include La Perla, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, and Piaget, among others, RowNine presents a completely unique and highly customizable luxury shopping experience, at member-only prices- you could save as much as 80% off retail.

Be One With The Woodsmen And Warm Up In A Trapper Hat!

I'm not gonna lie -- while the cozy cable knits and warm faux fur of a basic trendy trapper hat look too comfy to pass up, this winter's hottest accessory isn't necessarily for everyone. It takes a certain winter style to pull off this bundled-up woodsy look, especially since it can easily bring to mind childhood memories of getting wrapped up like a Christmas present every time you wanted to play outside. The key is to not take the trend too seriously -- treat trapper hats like a casually thrown-on accessory, instead of a frostbite-killing survival tactic. When added to a full-on set of snow gear, the look is a little more functionally overboard than fashionable, but with just a thermal and a pair of rosy cheeks the look is cute without looking costume-y or childish. Browse through the slideshow for a festive bunch of my favorite trapper hats!

Bag Of The Week: The Kooba 'Jagger' Bag

I'm sure I'm not the only one by far, but I am guilty of having an extensive handbag collection of all different shapes and styles. In recent years, however, I have matured from snatching up any cute purse and taking it home, only to realize that it doesn't actually match anything I own and have it just sit there until I obtain an outfit that goes with it. Instead, I have wised up and learned to invest in a well-made, high-quality piece that is versatile and convenient, as well as trendy but classic at the same time. That may seem like a lot to ask from one bag, but the 'Jagger' bag from the Kooba Holiday '09 Collection easily delivers all those qualities. The soft leather, the subtly edgy zipper detail and the classic shape make the Kooba 'Jagger' Bag a must-have bag that works for so many occasions from work to play and back again. Plus, it comes in a variety of colors, meaning you can choose the best look for you, so make room for this pretty bag in your purse family!


What: the Kooba 'Jagger' Holiday '09 Bag
Price: $595.00
Where to Buy: Kooba
Who: Idabone was the first to add the Kooba 'Jagger' Bag to the Hive!

From LimeLife: Ashley Greene's Stunning Last-Minute "New Moon" Premiere Look

We think it's pretty easy to agree that Ashley Greene looked absolutely stunning at the premiere of "New Moon" the other night. But did you realize how last minute Ashley's dress was? This has us truly believing that Ashley Greene is a really incredible fashionista. Ashley's beautiful red dress is a Prabal Gurung and we're so glad she chose it because it suits her absolutely perfectly. But Ashley hasn't been planning this look for months and months. In fact, she chose it right before the big "New Moon" premiere. She says she had another dress all ready to go, but then she says that at the last minute, "I decided I didn't like it and we had to start from scratch." We can imagine that must have been pretty stressful! But it was such a big event for Ashley, we're sure she wanted to look as perfect as can be. She continues, "I stopped by the tailors right before I got here to pick up the dress." You definitely wouldn't have known it from looking at her; it seems that everything worked out just perfectly.

Style Flashback: Clarissa From 'Clarissa Explains It All'

"Clarissa Explains It All" had us hooked on SNICK (that's Saturday Night Nickelodeon for those of you who don't remember) from the moment it debuted. We loved how Clarissa broke the fourth wall to let us into her world and we can still sing along with the show's theme song ("naaah nah nah na-na...way cool"), but it was her eclectic teenybopper style that had us always coming back for more. To help us recreate Clarissa's look for today we checked in with our fashion expert Brian, who had some great tips.


Brian says: Clarissa's style might be a little too retro (and not in a good way) for today, but you can still capture the essence of her look without getting sideways glances on the street. Swap her button-front shirt with a fun peasant blouse and substitute a pair of girly ballet flats for her boring black shoes.
