    Gotta Getaway? Stay & Play Down Under At Ravesi's Bondi Beach ...

    Where can you find a vacay that combines the sand and surf of an island getaway, A-List-worthy nightlife for ultimate lounging, and all the modern luxuries that true foodies and shopaholics can't live without? Sydney, Australia, of course! Bondi Beach's hippest hotel and hot-spot, Ravesi's Hotel, is the ideal place to relax on the coast, indulge in the neighborhood's fine dining and boutiques, and explore the nearby culture with a quick cab ride to Sydney's central business district. Designed by abstract artist Dane van Bree, the hotel's guest rooms provide a modern spin on Aboriginal art and culture with its gold and metal palate and artwork, but with the getaway's gorgeous beach location, it's hard to keep yourself cooped up indoors! If the scenery isn't beautiful enough to fully tempt you, you're likely to bump elbows with local celebrities at the hotel's Drift Cocktail Lounge, which lures out locals and tourists alike. Check out the slideshow to see some photos of Ravesi's luxury accommodations -- I dare you to hold back from buying a one-way ticket straight to Sydney!

    Meet Australian Stylediarist Amethyst. Although her style mantra happens to be "quality over quantity, her StyleDiary sure offers up an impressive number of innovative and romantic looks. I'm already inspired by her variety of shorter style dresses, skirts, shorts - and especially seeing how she wears them during the different seasons. Amethyst favors a classic yet timeless color palette of mostly blues, greys, creams, and black, but she isn't afraid to add subtle pops of color from items like grape-colored tights or a knit red beret. But fabulous sense of style aside, Amethyst's StyleDiary is worthy of a visit simply due to her collection of envy-inducing fashion finds. I'm already pining over more than a few items straight out of her personal wardrobe! Like this shrunken coat with beautiful ruffle detailing and this irresistibly chic ivory cape. So see Amethyst's StyleDiary for yourself, or click on the slideshow to see my favorite looks straight from her page.

    Again, I'm bringing you another Australian- the rest of the world really needs to step up their game! This 24-year-old is a self-confessed adornment fanatic. Whether it's gold chains, appliques, rosettes, bows, drapes, ruffles, fringing, feathers, anything jeweled, tie-dye or watercolor prints, she is ready and willing to incorporate it. I like that despite her love of "extras" her looks all appear simple, clean, and coordinated. Most importantly nothing she wears overpowers her frame; it is all balanced. Pash's Stylediary boasts some big names: Christian Louboutin, Luella, Mike & Chris, and Betsey Johnson all make cameos. Even though many of her pieces are from established designers, you could just as easily come up with similar looks from vintage racks. Check out my picks from Pash in the SLIDESHOW and make sure to check out Pash's Stylediary for yourself! As always, let me know in the COMMENTS section if you find someone that NEEDS to be featured!

    Thumbing through the Aussie Stylediary pages, I noticed that a lot of really cute outfits were quite neutral in color. Down under, the palate may be very muted, but this international style screams posh as well as super feminine. Well, I don't know if it's because they're sick of bright colors from living in a perpetual summer, but throw some of those lovely beiges, greys, blacks, creams, taupes, and whites stateside! Check out seven Australian Stylediarists and their toned down pieces that would be sure to boost any wardrobe, in my slideshow!

    Hive Interview: Rosie Hogan, Fashion Week's Youngest Designer

    Stylehive got a chance to chat with Rosie Hogan, the youngest - and only - Aussie designer to showcase her collection during New York's Spring fashion week. Find out how the 19 year old prodigy got her start in fashion, her experiences at Fashion Week, and Rosie's message to aspiring designers everywhere!

    Stylehive: Tell us about the inspiration for your "Beyond the Pale" collection.

    RH: Beyond the pale was actually an idea borrowed from a friend (who is just 17). She told me that she only feels inspired to write, when the sky is torn between twilight and nightfall. Unusually I found a similar experience, when walking outside on an overcast day.
