    Hot In The Hive: iPhone App Coasters

    Those of the slightly younger set may not know this, but before the iPod and Mac laptops, Apple was on the brink of being obsolete. They were associated with the huge, loud computers in the school library that you could only do research on or else the librarian would throw her glasses at you. The iPod is maybe the greatest comeback product in history. It not only brought Apple back from the brink, but ricocheted them to number one in technological gadgets. Now you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't have at least one Apple product laying around the house. I've had an a few of the iPod variation, but I'm actually lusting over the iPhone. Well, those at Apple must have felt bad for people like me who would love to jump on the iPhone band-wagon but, for whatever reason, have not. There are now iPhone app coasters that I can also put on my table, and for the fraction of the price! These coasters come in a set of 16 "apps" and are made of MDF plywood wrapped in a vinyl and varnish. A rubber back keeps it from moving around and they're washable and reusable! Ok, so they don't actually allow you to pull up the weather in Tunisia or give you a recipe for "Easy Chicken Bake" with just a click of a button, but they are awesome and fun! At $60 for the entire set, these make a great gift for the i-Aficionado or for those like me who just want to rub elbows with this elite i-Group!


    Price: $60.00 for set of 16

    Inspired by a friend's shiny new pair of Jeffrey Campbell stacked heels in the most refreshing shade of mint, I got to thinking. Who says pastels are only suited for your Easter basket? We tend to associate pastels like eggy yellows and dainty pinks with the early springtime, but what's more summery than a bowl of mint ice cream or a cloudless blue sky or the aqua tint of the ocean on a perfect day at the beach? Creamy cool tones are about as fresh as colors come and are the perfect calming, crisp alternative to obnoxious 90s neons. The stars predict warm weather ahead, so surrender to the the summer spirit and get your hands on some cool-toned pastels! For example, Leos can swap their trusty LBD for a more daring satiny spearmint number and Libras will ditch their old wayfarers for a fun pair of lavender-hued frames. Check the slideshow and see if your sign is destined to don lilac, aqua, or mint!

    Hot In The Hive: Throw Some Green Around With CB2's Astro Balls!

    I love living in the city and would rather be nowhere else. The excitement, the variety, the convenience, the interesting and unique things around every corner. I love it all. The only thing I don't love about the city? The lack of green. You can find gourmet salad bars and veggie burgers piled high with leafy greens and fresh produce on any block, but you'd be hard pressed to find a lush yard in between apartment buildings or an overflow of trees and flowers on any given corner. Now, there is an easy and fun way to add the illusion of thick vegetation to your living environment! Thanks to CB2 and their Astro Balls, livening up your garden is no problem! They are made of high-quality polyethylene and look like giant Koosh balls made of grass! Their fun and unique shape add interest to any yard or lawn, regardless of size. They are not real grass so you can enjoy the look of green plants, but not have to worry about the care and maintenance that usually come with them. These CB2 Astro Balls are great for interior decoration too! Add a few into a large, glass vase, or set them individually in small bowls for a sophisticated look with a quirky edge. They come in light and darker green shades and at $3.95-$4.95 a piece, get a few and have fun decorating your urban area!


    Price: $3.95- $4.95

    Modern, sophisticated and utterly chic, Stylehiver Ximenarm's picks look cut and pasted from the New York or Paris society pages. Couture ball gowns, sequined Studio 54-style cocktail dresses, thick bangle jewelry and modern museum-worthy housewares are just just some of the items that make her Hive feel like a curated show! And when it comes to fashion, Ximenarm seems relatively unaffected by the summer season and its corresponding trends. While others bookmark delicate pastel prints, open-toe flats and cotton sundresses, Ximenarm stays cosmopolitan cool with structured shift dresses in bold patterns and ultra high-end gladiator heels. Her urban-chic style has definitely got me hooked! Check out my Slideshow to see 5 favorite looks from today's featured Stylehiver!
