    Headbands Make Hair Happy!

    Ida Hsiang on May 22, 2009 4:23 PM PDT
    I have low maintenance hair. This does not mean that my hair is amazing without me having to do too much to it. It means I don't do too much to it and just cross my fingers that it'll look decent for the day. I really admire people who get up an hour early to do their hair. They always look great. Personally, I'd rather sleep. The headband has been my friend throughout the years. I may not have time for the straightener, but a cute and practical headband always helps pull my look together and add a fun flair to my ensemble for the day. And it literally takes mere seconds! Headbands dropped off the radar for quite a few years and weren't seen except in the hair of devout headband lovers such as myself. Now, they're back with a vengeance! Headbands adorned with silk flowers or elegant crystals are popping back up everywhere! I've seen them have double and even triple straps and are showing up in funky, fun colors and gorgeous metallics! Add a sophisticated edge to your outfit or make a fashion statement! Easy to dress up with or dress down, headbands are practical, easy and now cuter than ever. Never really been the headband type of girl? Are you a little unsure about how to wear it? There are so many designs and variations to choose from, so check out some designs in the slideshow and find one that's right for you!

    Hot In The Hive: Ballistic Rose From Citizen

    Ida Hsiang on May 5, 2009 6:25 AM PDT
    There has always been something so alluring about paradoxical situations and the juxtapositions in life. What symbolizes beauty and romance better than a rose? Tobias Wong creates the Ballistic Rose out of a single piece of Ballistic Nylon, material used for military purposes. The black, rough material is so different from the fragrant, velvety feel of a real rose, but then, that's the appeal. This Ballistic Rose is in full bloom and lends commentary to the current somber issues in our world today. The Ballistic Rose by Tobias Wong is meant to remind us of the fragility and volatility of our world, but also of the beauty that can still be found in it. Made of a material usually reserved for those that protect, Wong is showing us how simple it is to manipulate our sense of security. The Ballistic Rose is a fascinating and elegant way to accessorize and have your voice be heard. Originally a wry art piece for the New York MoMA, the Ballistic Rose corsage can now be yours. It comes in a replica of a shotgun cartridge box, adding even more tongue-in-cheek appeal to this multi-use, avant-garde accessory. Check out www.citizen-citizen.com for more interesting and innovative ideas!


    Price: $175.00
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Ballistic Rose to the Hive.

    If your mom is anything like mine, you know that she loves flowers. A bouquet of roses can say that you love her on Mother's Day, but wouldn't you rather give her something that won't end up in the trash after a week? You also know she doesn't have the time to keep her own garden. So what are you to do? Luckily for us, floral gifts for your mom can be found almost anywhere and can last longer than a bouquet of freshly cut flowers. Take a look at the gardenia bonsai plant. It comes with small buds ready to bloom into fragrant and gorgeous flowers and it's easy to take care of. For something along the more whimsical side, the windflower necklace made of chiffon and ribbon is a great accessory for any mom's wardrobe. Take a look at my slideshow for more floral gift ideas for your mom!

    Even if it is raining on your wedding day, you can bet you'll have stylish hair! Instead of a traditional veil or tiara, your wedding can be given just the right touch with a bit of some beautifully crafted buds. Hairpieces can be found for tight and loose budgets alike and it's a perfect way to bring a taste of the outdoors to your ceremony. Designers like Mikiye, Erin Cole, Sara Gabriel, and Laura Jayne have even been budding flower-specific collections for hairdos so fresh they could be hair-dews-- but unlike the petals you can pick off of living plants, these keepsakes will last forever! If you're unsure about pinning one of these to your head, start small with a simple accent, like this hydrangea hair pin- it will add the perfect amount of sweetness and elegance, without distracting from your dress. Some of the prettiest pieces are just a click away in my slideshow!

For anyone who was left in doubt of her stylistic prowess, her Michelle Obama's inaugural gown cemented her place among the other formidable fashion mavens who have graced the White House. Check out the slideshow to see some pieces that exemplify the new Mrs. O's wardrobe.

    While the holidays have just passed and it may still be cold outside, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of colorful spring flowers and clear skies in the coming months. So to hasten the slow approach of spring, I've found a few ways to update your home with some colorful accents without a lot of effort. Plant a keylime tree in your patio or sunny kitchen for a dash of natural aroma and bright color to match. A cherry red pillow against your sofa or bed will certainly bring some much needed color.
