    Chucks Never Go Out Of Style!

    It's really strange to go out now and see that Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops are still being worn by school kids. I think of Chucks as the shoe that sort of defined Generation X, and to see that they're still so popular is kind of nice. Chucks are great because not only do they look cool, they can be adapted to go with just about any casual outfit, and to say that they're comfortable is the understatement of the century. You even see some people pushing the look to the limit, wearing their Chucks with formal wear. There's really no end to what you can do with these shoes. The good thing is that these days, you can get Converse Chucks in all the standard colors, but also in some interesting new styles. So whether you're into classic looks, or rule breaking, there will always be a pair of Chucks out there for you. Click over to our friends at TheFind for more on these cool kicks!

    Summer, whether or not you have the time off, is all about embracing laziness. After all, when it's this hot outside, it can be tough to even muster enough energy to rise from your lounge chair to get a refill on your lemonade. So naturally, you can't possibly be bothered to do something as strategic as tie your shoes every time you leave the house. But what if flip-flops aren't suitable for the situation at hand? Enter slip-on sneakers -- the athletic yet cute alternative when you want to keep things casual but don't want the hassle of unlacing or re-knotting each time you want to kick them off or slide them back on. Go for a tieless version of your trusty Converse Chuck Taylors, or if slides are more your style, take a look at these cute backless bikers from Bebe! Whichever brand you choose, whether made for speed or style, slip-ons are perfect for sliding on and off at the beach or slipping into in a snap when you're running late! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite pairs.

    Blurring the lines between athletic wear and street wear, today€™s sneakers are a mere reflection of hip-hop couture. This season, my favorite trend is high-top sneakers. The illest sneakers are now available at Karmaloop.com, like the Reebok high-tops on our favorite Gossip Girl Leighton Meester. Brands are featuring new styles, sharp cuts, vibrant colors and ultimate comfort. With everything from leather uppers, velcro ankle straps, perforated and fold-over ankle panels to mesh lining, classic footwear lines are producing cutting-edge sneakers. Not only do your feet feel good, but your whole outfit is that much more enhanced by your footwear. Some of my top picks include the reptile shell toe warrior in turquoise by Alife, the suprano high in purple foil by Supra, and the attitude in white & green by Adidas. Take a look at the slideshow for more of my favorites, then check out the full collections at Karmaloop!

    If you thought Valentine's Day footwear was just about red high heels, gravity-defying stilettos, and cutesy pink ballet flats, you must not be the sneaker freak I am! This Valentine's Day, all our favorite athletic shoe brands are showing us their romantic side (and in some cases, their cartoon-y and kitschy sides too) with bright red and pink color combos and heart patterns galore. From Nike Dunks embellished with X's and O's to bold red floral Pumas, these flashy footwear are bound to give your feet plenty of love and support (and attention) this February 14th! While they're not exactly year-round practical, and quite frankly I'm not sure even I would be caught dead in any high-top conversation-heart-covered creation, you can't deny that these sneaks are adorably festive, not to mention a cheerful addition to any hardcore collector's closet display. Plus, you have to admit - they're not that much crazier than the usual in-your-face color combos found in lines by the likes of Nike, Vans, and Creative Recreation. Whether you're bold enough to show them off on the street or just like to keep them polished on display, check out the slideshow for more sweet V-Day sneakers!

    Hypothetically, let's say that your boy-toy is the kind of guy to already have every mainstream toy or gadget the second it's released, and already has his camp-out gear ready by the door in preparation for the next Black Friday sale at Best Buy. Or perhaps you and your man have just been together for longer than you both can remember and you've already exhausted every trite Valentine's Day gift-giving ritual. Or maybe your boyfriend just always manages to get you the most original, thoughtful, never-before-seen gifts (and you never understand how on Earth he does it) and the only thing you ever manage to come up with for him in return is a gift card. If any of these very specific scenarios hit just a little too close to home for you - don't fear! Stylehive is here to provide you some assistance in your quest for the perfect Valentine's Day gift that I can almost guarantee he doesn't already have stashed under his bed somewhere (don't forget to check out our Personalized Gifts For Him post too!). From a Beer of the Month Club membership for the guy who loves his ale to a state-of-the-art two part locator device for the space-case who's always misplacing his keys (or the remote), these gifts ideas are bound to please even the most finicky, tech-savvy, or creative man-friends of yours. Check the slideshow for more imaginative Valentine's Day gift ideas for your man!

    If you take after Carrie Bradshaw and a part of you dies every time you slip off your stilettos, force yourself to give those 4-inch heels a rest! It's time to embrace a more comfy, funky, fresh kind of footwear that you may have previously kept banished to your closet, except for those rare occasions when you'd actually muster up the motivation to hit the gym. With upscale urban trendsetters like Creative Recreation, high-quality imports like Superga, and updated embellished versions of old favorites like Converse, today's hippest sneakers make a strong case against any stigma against them! And with the right accessories, like a cool coordinating scarf, you can easily turn your casual look from frumpy to fly - and still stay comfortable! Check out more sweet sneaker finds in the slideshow - from wild stand-out colors to subtle pastel patterns, there's a hue, height, and shape to satisfy anyone's athletic shoe appetite! You'll think twice about subjecting these sneaks to scuffs by only wearing them for a work-out. Click the slideshow and see these sneaks for yourself!
