Get More Value with a Convertible Handbag!

kate napleton on Aug 11, 2009 2:21 PM PDT

Handbags are my true weakness. Okay, and shoes, and accessories, okay FASHION. But handbags, I love. To get more mileage out of a bag purchase, I've been looking to buy one of the fall's convertible bags. You know, something that goes from shoulder to tote, or hobo to hip-slung with a quick switch of a strap. I love the color, texture and bohemian simplicity of the Kooba tied convertible hobo bag. And I feel like I could honestly carry this Foley + Corinna convertible small leather tote in red almost every day. It goes from shoulder to tote so flawlessly, and the scale is just adorable. Check out my slideshow for lots of other handbags that work hard for you!

Trendy Tie-Dyed Pieces That Don't Look Like You Made Them At ...

Alex Gambardella on Jun 29, 2009 10:17 AM PDT

What is it about tie-dye that seems to just ooze summer spirit? I don't know if it's the bright colors or the fond memories of wringing out freshly-dipped t-shirts on the backyard lawn, but I was always secretly rooting for a tie-dye comeback that didn't look too homemade or too hippie. As if the almighty trendsetters read my mind (it's about time!), tie-dye has been sprouting up all over the place -- high-end and affordable retailers alike -- in every place imaginable, from shoes to shades! While stereotypically the print has always been associated with peace signs, flower children, and campy arts and crafts, this season it's keeping it casual with thong sandals and dressing it up in the form of sexy minidresses. Still not convinced? Take a look at the slideshow and see for yourself how today's tie-dye has gone from hippie to hip!

Chris K. on Jun 24, 2008 12:16 PM PDT

Ashley Thompson opened Owl€™s Lab in New York City right after moving from a sunny beach in California. And it shows. "Owl's Lab is known for playing into the style trends from both coasts," Ashley explained during my tour of her packed racks and shelves. "I would say that's one of my distinguishing qualities as a buyer, being from the West Coast, but being influenced by my life on the East Coast. I blend the two into the Owl's Lab wardrobe." Stylehive interns Abby and Emily had a great afternoon trying on the latest Owl's Lab outfits and accessories last week. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for 10 amazing oufits they put together with Ashley's help, and read on for our interview with Ashley and her fashion forecasts for summer and fall.
