    Style Flashback: Buffy From "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"

    Goth never looked quite as good as it did on Sarah Michelle Gellar as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She kicked some serious butt with some serious style. Buffy rocked black and leather like nobody's business, and the sultry bad-girl look she sported on the show landed her one of the hottest vampires on the small screen (we love you, Angel). We wanted some tips on how to re-create Buffy's look, and Lemondrop's fashion expert Brian answered the call. Brian says, "Buffy was edgy without being too over the top; sexy without showing too much skin -- and that's the reason she was always so stylin'. She straddled the line between kick-ass vampire slayer and regular teenager by mixing textures and styles to create a unique, am-I-dangerous-or-not look." Click over to Lemondrop to see how you can update her iconic 90s look.

    While Rihanna may have been hiding under her umbrella and taking a breather from the music scene ever since the Chris Brown fiasco, she hasn't lost the following of her faithful fans... and her fellow fashionistas! A strong girl like Ri-Ri isn't one to let a scandal get her down for long, and her eclectic and edgy style hasn't suffered any despite her tiny break from the spotlight. From LA to NYC and beyond, she's partied it up with pals in metallic leggings, relaxed spa-style in flowing printed dresses, rooted for the Lakers courtside in funky sneaker heels, and embraced her inner rocker-chick with moto jackets and a buzzed hairstyle. The Essence blog tracks her fashionable footsteps over the recent months as she enjoys the single life and gets ready to embrace the limelight yet again! Head over to take a look at the slideshow!

    Get That Edgy, Rocker-Inspired Look With Chain Accents!

    To chain or not to chain? These days, it's not even a question! I used to picture a black, quilted Chanel bag with braided chain straps whenever I would hear about chains in fashion. Chanel chain straps are still feminine, but hint upon notes of edginess. With the influx of sexy-goth vampires and emo-rocker fashions, however, chains are now popping up everywhere from hair pieces to fancy footwear and all things in between! It's not so much the single large strand like a Dookie Chain ala RunDMC or the early b-boy days, but rather multiple, skinny links of varying widths and lengths that are adorning clothes and accessories and popping up on every other photoshoot. Smaller, more delicate chains are all the rage right now and look great dangling from boots and pumps and really step up the air of danger in an outfit when placed on what would be basic tops or bottoms. Wear them on as many pieces as you'd like, or have it be the detail on just one. Sexy, edgy looks are in so check out the slideshow for some awesome chained pieces!

    Hot In The Hive: Dominic Jones Jewelry

    With stars like Rihanna leading the gothic, punk style trend and edgy vampires popping up as sex symbols everywhere from Twilight to True Blood, it's no surprise that designers have taken clothing and accessories to the next level. We're seeing metallic studs and points and shiny materials like patent leather and finished georgettes as added details of choice. Reds, blacks and greys are the new backdrops and blood red lips and pale, pale complexions are gracing the runways. One designer to jump on the "sexy-vampire" band-wagon? Dominic Jones. Jones' designs are right on with the current edgy, rocker, "don't get too close or I'll suck your blood" craze, but still makes it his own. Take his black and gold "fangs belt" for example. Black belts are nothing new, but the gold fangs meeting in the middle definitely make it different! The great thing about this belt is that you can wear it to amp up a simple sheath dress and add some attitude into your look, and then lend it to your crazy, over-the-top, super-trendy younger sister to wear over her slashed leggings and oversized tees.


    Price: Inquire at Dominic Jones for details!
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Dominic Jones "Fangs" Belt to the Hive.

    Corsets, Not Just For The Bedroom!

    Women want to look sexy. Elegant... and sexy. Sophisticated... and sexy. It doesn't matter what your style is, or what you are trying to convey through your clothing-- the bottom line is that you can always work a little something sexy into your look. The uniform for instant sexy would have to be corsets and bustiers. They were used in the 1800's because they gave women such a great shape. An uncomfortable one, but a great one. 1950's pin-ups are always shown in corsets, lacy satins and fishnets. They are the epitome of female sexiness. That's wonderful and all, but outside the bedroom and Halloween, where is it ever appropriate to don a skin-tight, laced-up, lacy, bosom-baring satin top? Nowhere, frankly. But now you can get the look and image of sexiness that corsets give, but still be comfortable and day appropriate. Where them under a cardigan and a great pair of jeans for a sexy and sweet weekend get-up, or under a blazer and with some great heels to add spark to the work place! School, work or meeting the boyfriend's parents, check out the slideshow for some great ideas that will leave you looking sexy but appropriate for anything that may come along in your busy day.

    Styles That Mesh Well!

    Every time I see mesh clothing, the early 90's song, "I'm too sexy for my ..." starts playing in my head. However, I've been seeing this trend pop up everywhere from little independent boutiques to department stores and designer labels. When one pictures mesh on clothing, it is usually accompanied with leather, chains and possibly hand-cuffs! The new trend is taking over, however, and has found a way to be edgy without being over the top and totally chic and fashion forward without making the wearer feel like George Michael. From casual knit tops to sparkling dresses (and who could forget those hot YSL cage shoes??), mesh is the way to go. Try it in a trendy spring color or floral to make it more versatile and season-appropriate! Check out the slideshow for some ideas that could "mesh" well with your personal style!
