    Is there anything more relaxing than a tranquil stay at a beach-front home? While it may be hard to venture off to a seaside escape, bringing under-the-sea-inspired home decor and the soothing colors of the ocean into your own living space is easily doable and beneficial to everyone. While an under-the-sea theme usually conjures up the bright colors and cartoon-like sea creatures reminiscent of Disney movies and kids' birthday parties, putting a more tasteful spin on things is easy! Subtle home accessories, peaceful colors and rich, quality materials make you home into a mini-beach front getaway, even if you live in the middle of the city.

    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! Click on the slideshow for some great colorblock ideas that you can bring into your home!

    Not a day goes by without the Stylehive office busy exchanging links to the newest, cutest, and sometimes really ridiculous (like a $12,000 Balmain jumpsuit). But it's no secret that we all love Alessi products and that our dream homes would be filled with gadgets made by the famed Italian design factory. Our latest find is the Ghost corkscrew designed by Alessandro Mendini. Perfect for Halloween, the ghost corkscrew is a limited edition piece and sure to be a conversation starter when you use this to open up all the bottles of libations at your upcoming Halloween party. In fact, I'd probably use this all year 'round for a bit of Halloween cheer all the time. There are other costumed characters such as a devil, angel, rock star, and king, but the ghost is the one that charmed our hearts!


    Price: $88
    Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Ghost Corkscrew By Alessi to the Hive.

    English fits the need for an upscale bar and restaurant in downtown Chicago's trendy River North area. Housed in a 120-year-old building, English stretches through three floors of ultimate party atmosphere. The bar also serves lunch and dinner, but you'll find the most crowds here at night, when the hot-spot really comes to life! The best part? You can rent out a single floor for just your crew; each floor holds 100 people and comes equipped with its own private bar.

    There's usually a touch of anxiety associated with booking a hotel you've never been to before. You travel across the country for an ocean view penthouse and wind up with a room facing a construction site with a shared bathroom. This will never be the case at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach in Cabo San Lucas because, quite frankly, they all face the ocean. This four star resort boasts a spa, a host of restaurants, pools and pristine beaches in addition to all-suite, ocean-view rooms. Rest assured that if you stay here, you're going to get much more that you paid for.
