    CollegeCandy Shows How To Jump On The High-Waisted Skirt Trend!

    Like most of you, I am a [recently graduated but not willing to accept it] college student who would rather dish out money for fashion than food. But sometimes, like in a recession (or when I'm really hungry), that doesn't work out so well. A girl's gotta eat (and look fabulous), right? Which is why I was having some serious issues lately. You see, I am in love with the whole high-waisted skirt look that I see on celebs like Lauren Conrad and Amanda Bynes. It's slimming and cute and I loooove it. But I can't justify spending a good chunk of change on a skirt that will be out of style in 6 months when I have 10 perfectly fine skirts lining my closet. So I decided to figure out a way to turn what I already got into what I want. Turns out, it's not that hard to make your own high-waisted skirt. Even for crafty rejects like myself. Jump over to the CollegeCandy blog for the quick & simple step-by-step!

    Hot In The Hive: Professional Stud Setter

    Okay, I think it's officially time to call off that search for the perfect studded handbag. Now you can custom-make it yourself with this Professional Stud Setter! Portable and super-easy to use, this crafty tool allows you to attach your own grommets, studs, snaps, and other embellishments to your favorite clothes and accessories. It's the ultimate way to spice up your wardrobe and salvage boring old pieces that were once destined to end up at the thrift store. And at the reasonable price of $68, think of all the shoes, shirts, jackets, and bags you can bedazzle just the way you want them, without having to sift through all the heavily-blinged out merchandise on the sale rack that never perfectly suits your fancy. Now, if you see a girl on the street wearing seriously studded duds from head to toe in the next couple of days, it's not an overzealous wannabe biker chick... it's probably just me, taking a break from my fun new fashion toy.


    Price: $68
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Professional Stud Setter to the Hive.
