Lisanne Silverman on May 25, 2009 8:17 AM PDT

Think cashmere is only for the fall and winter seasons? Think again. Inhabit NY's cashmere-cotton blend tanks are the softest, most luxurious tops around, and we think they'd be perfect when paired with everything from summery linen skirts to dark denim. Slightly sheer and ideal for layering, they're a year-around staple and a wonderful alternative to those ubiquitous, often overpriced racerback pocket tanks. Minimal and chic, they drape beautifully for an effortless, flattering look. In case you need another reason to scoop up these lovely knits, Inhabit NY is offering Stylehive members an exclusive 25% discount! Just remember to use code SH4INHABIT when you place your order. In our shopping cart: this drape-front tank, originally $178, just $133.50 after the discount, and oh-so-versatile. This offer is only valid through May 31st (non-sale items only), so start your summer style off right and shop now!

What To Wear: Casual First Date!

kate napleton on May 18, 2009 10:25 AM PDT

First dates are nerve-wracking in all kinds of ways. You're stressed if the guy will like you, if your hair is going to do that weird flippy thing it sometimes does, and most importantly, if your outfit is just right. Well, have no fear, for I have developed a guide to dressing for the occasion. These outfits are perfect for casual restaurants, movies, mini golf -- almost anytime! Remember to wear your most flattering jeans with this beaded tank from Banana Republic, and your outfit is sure to sparkle just as much as your eyes! Or for a cooler evening, pair this flirty ruffle wrap cardigan from Gap with white jeans or skinnies and boots for a great look! Personally, I think the best way to look cute and casually put together is by throwing on a cotton jersey dress and your favorite flats or sandals. Try this ruffle tube dress from Urban Outfitters, sure to hug your body in all the right places. Check out my slideshow for lots of casual first-date-fits!

If you're in a present purchasing crunch, then you should stay simple and with that said, you just can't beat a soft, jersey tee! Ultra buttery soft tees like this Truly Madly Deeply Pocket Tee are the perfect addition to any girl's wardrobe at any time, because what girl doesn't need a few more basics or stylish tees to mix and match with her favorite pair of skinnies? This year, shop assured that this is one gift she won't be exchanging or hiding in her closet. P.S. Boys- get her one of these and chances are she won't be stealing yours as often, unless, of course, you own any of our favorite tees for men- then you're on your own. Click on the slideshow to see some stylish tees worthy of being wrapped up this holiday season!

Our Favorite Couch Potato-Approved Blankets And Throws!

Lisanne Silverman on Nov 25, 2008 4:09 PM PST

It's finally getting cold in San Francisco, and I plan on using the suddenly season-appropriate weather to my advantage. And while actually having a decent excuse for skipping out on a morning run due to impending rain is probably causing an irrational level of excitement as it is, it's the idea of staying indoors and drinking hot cocoa with marshmallows three times a day (Sugar Free Swiss Miss, I am forever indebted to you) that's really making me appreciate the weather. Since there's really nothing better than spending a chilly day curled up on the couch with your favorite book, DVD, person, or bottle of wine (in the evening, of course), I've put together an assortment of cozy blankets and throws that will make those moments even more irresistible! I'm especially drawn to the cable knit throws that luxury knitwear label Lutz & Patmos created in collaboration with West Elm- imagine your favorite oversized sweater made even bigger- then imagine sleeping in it. Might want to have these gift wrapped when you order them so your potential holiday gifts don't fall victim to a love at first snuggle situation! Check out the slideshow for my favorites.
