    Make A Bold Statement With Colorblock Home Decor

    The colorblock craze is one that I like very much. There is nothing more sophisticated than that classic combo of black and white. Bright, solid hues matched with black or each other make for an eye-catching and fashionable ensemble. It's such an easy and appealing way to add interest and color, it's a wonder that it hasn't caught on in home decor as well. Be a trend-setter and apply this tried and true style statement to your home. You can choose a few of your favorite colors and use them in a number of accents. Throw pillows and rugs are an easy way to go and make boring rooms more colorful and energetic. Items like placemats and shower curtains are also fun and easy ways to spruce up your living space and give your home a harmonious theme without having to spend too much!

    It's still a little chilly outside, even if the snow has melted. You need a little something to cover your arms, but you can no longer stand your winter jackets. Enter the spring "personality" jacket, stage left. This charming, colorful jacket is waiting to take your style from winter blahs to spring ahh's! Just slap it over your basics - black pants, skirts, capris, white shirts (well, you, get the idea) and all of the sudden, you're Ms. Chic in your city! I personally find myself falling in love with this Semantiks 'deep end' raglan sleeve jacket, but let's be honest, I've been rocking this Marc by Marc Jacobs 'hopscotch' jacket since I picked it up on deep discount on Black Friday. Anyway, find one that you are absolutely crazy for, and go for it. You'll wear it more than you can imagine over work apparel and casually with jeans. Happy searching and check out my slideshow for plenty of possibilities!

    While you're wallowing in all your economic woes this holiday season, take comfort (and cover!) under the hood of a soft and warm hoodie. You have a lot to choose from this winter, as they're slapping hoods on tons of different styles. If you're looking for something super casual, take on the ombre trend with a Juicy Couture velour hoodie, or pick up a colorblock American Apparel sweatshirt. If you want something a little dressier to throw on over a t-shirt or tank top, check out this hooded jacket by Australian label Lover. And for something a bit more substantial, try a Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket like this pink one or this plaid one. Don't miss the SLIDESHOW for these and other picks from the Hive!

    Hive 5: Our Fave Retro Techie Toys

    Retro tech. Although it's somewhat of a contradictory statement, techie gadgets reminiscent of days past are popping up everywhere! So silly and cute you might dismiss them as toys if it weren't for their practical applications. Yep, these fun gadgets may be retro-inspired, but they're fully equipped with the brains of today. Legos from my childhood have transformed into portable iPod speakers, the rubber ducky from my bath into a USB drive (iDuck), and that impossible Rubik's cube is now a multi-function digital clock. These "toys" are difficult to pass up and would make wonderful gifts for friends (or self)! So check out my SLIDESHOW now to see my fave 5 retro techie toys from around the Hive!

    Fashion Poll: What Should I Wear To My Vegas Bachelorette Party?

    image
    Greta on Aug 22, 2008 1:43 PM PDT
    In a couple weeks I will be embarking for a bachelorette weekend in none-other-than, Las Vegas, Nevada. As excited as I am to visit the famed hot spot (it will be my first time!), I'm already fretting about what to pack. This may be my maiden voyage to Vegas, but I want to look well-versed in Sin City style. I have long been inspired by the city: its brilliant neon lights, the sequined outfits of showgirls, the glowing casino games, and most of all, the anything goes attitude. In terms of what to bring for nights out on the town, I'm envisioning dresses that are just dripping with glamour yet still young and fun. Sparkles and sequins, luxe animal prints, eye-catching metallics, and maybe even a few neons. But how can I channel the over-the-top Sin City glitz and glam without looking like a flop? Well my fellow Stylehivers, this is where you come in.. I want to save my gambling spirit for the casino floor and not risk it while preparing for this trip. So I've created a poll with 3 possible Vegas looks - vote for your favorite right now! I can't wait to see which look wins!
