The first month of the New Year seems to have sped by and the next holiday that many of us are now looking forward to is Valentine's Day! This is a day that you get to spend with your sweetie, whispering sweet nothings into each others' ears, nibbling on chocolates and professing your undying love for each other no matter what happens... according to Hallmark, at least. All that romantic mushy stuff is great and all, but we can't help but be a little more excited about the possibility of a gift. Teddy bears and gourmet fudge are sweet, a candlelit dinner is always appreciated, but the thing that we'd like to get most on the 14th? How about something sparkly, shiny and expensive? Sounds like love to me! A few of us lucky gals will be getting just that, all wrapped up in glossy paper and finished off with a satin bow. And for those of us who won't, it's okay to dream. Click on the slideshow to see some favorite dazzling pieces that will have your heart palpitating on Valentine's Day!
Hot In The Hive: The Swarovski Crystal "Bling-Kini"

While many of us are hitting up Target and the sale racks at Victoria's Secret to stock up on bargain swimwear this season, others overseas are opting to splurge on more impractical poolside pieces, such as The Anita by Pistol Panties, for example, a suit made exclusively for London-based Selfridges department store. Made with 5,000 Swarovski crystals, the appropriately-dubbed "bling-kini" doesn't officially go on sale until later this week (for about $2986 in American money), yet stores in London, Manchester, and Birmingham already have rapidly-growing wait-lists of cost-fearless crazies who can't wait to get their hands on one. I guess if you have three months worth of rent to spare, there's nothing wrong with trying to live a little -- as long as it doesn't involve swimming, because that's strictly off-limits in this morbidly-priced maillot! So if you happen to be strolling along the beach and see someone who resembles a glistening stained glass window headed for the waves, do them a favor and stop them before they dump $3000 down the drain (as if they haven't already). In my humble opinion, I say that if we can't even swim in it, they could have at least made it cute!
Price: Ridiculous.
Who Found It: Victoria1 was the first to add the Anita Bling-Kini to the Hive.
