And The WInner Of The Well Dressed Home Giveaway Is...

WellDressedHome.com is one of those websites that you wish you had discovered well before you did. Why? For starters, their assortment of gifts and decor is completely random, meaning you don't have to choose between traditional, vintage, or modern when it comes to adding a personal touch to your home. Then, there's the range of trinkets related to wine and cheese, two of my great loves in life (I've decided I get more than one). Plus, everything's affordable, so choosing between a Jonathan Adler puffer fish and the foot in the door doorstop is basically a non-issue. Last week we offered you the chance to win a $250 gift certificate to WellDressedHome.com- click READ MORE to find out if you won!

These days, decorating your home can take a backseat to more important things like rent, bills, and happy hour (kidding! I really meant shoe shopping).

The home decor and gift website has a wide array of eye-catching and sometimes offbeat design items- think candles shaped like artichokes, vintage bird planters, modern wine racks, and my personal favorite- a page full of fun trinkets from Jonathan Alder. We're giving away a $250 gift certificate to WellDressedHome.com- want it? You'd be hard pressed to not find something you like!

Stylehive's Stylescopes Keep You Bright & Dry For A Rainy Week!

While we patiently (or not so patiently) wait for spring to show its sunny face from behind those looming clouds, it's important to take note of the weather we're currently stuck with and work with it by dressing and accessorizing accordingly. In other words, there's no use living in fashion denial and donning your shortest of sleeves and sunniest of dresses, determined to magically will the sun out of hiding -- you're bound to just end up drenched, freezing, or both. So whether the climate at hand is snowing, raining, hailing, monsooning, or just plain gloomy, Stylehive is here to let all you hivers know what you may have in store and how to be prepared for the weather at its worst this week. Geminis will be encouraged to brave the showers in a cute trench for the sake of staying social, Aries girls will channel the soggy weather creatively with some raindrop-inspired jewelry, and Cancers will stay productive in the face of a downpour with a water-resistant tote to keep their work dry! Check the slideshow to see how your sign can stay chic in the sleet this week, or at least until the rain goes away!

Creative Candles To Set The Mood...

With the days now shorter and the nights colder, consider bringing warmth and flattering light into your home with candles. They're an excellent way to add an upscale and sumptuous atmosphere to your home without spending very much money. And since they come in so many unique styles, shapes, scents, and sizes, there's a candle perfect for every setting and occasion. Best yet, I found a myriad of creative and totally unexpected candles and candle accessories in the Hive. So put those boring candlesticks away and set your house aglow with something much hotter, like these mahogany-scented tree trunk pillar candles. Structural stacked rocks are an organic and artistic way to display your favorite candles, and whimsical cupcake tea lights would make for a sweet gift idea.

Rub-a-Dub-Dub In Your Tub!

In these uncertain economical times, it's easy to be overtaken by worry and stress. Combat those feelings by making a day of pampering yourself, but why pay a spa hundreds of dollars when you can do it straight from home? It€™s easy! Just fill up your tub, add some mood lighting, and have a glass of bubbly (or two) to relax and make your troubles melt away. You can have a relaxing bath time without breaking your bank or running to the market. Try adding epsom salt with your favorite essential oils and finish burning all those nubby candles you have leftover from your last dinner party. If you€™re fresh out of everything, check out my SLIDESHOW for some of my favorite bath time items from the Hive!
