Cozy Up In Tweed Clothing And Accessories That Aren't So ...

Alex Gambardella on Nov 18, 2009 10:19 AM PST

There's something about tweed that undeniably conjures up images of wintertime coziness... not to mention old-fashioned office attire and your grandma's go-to outfit for Sunday brunch. The good news is, however, that tweed has been updated to suit the styles of modern trends -- from platform pumps to boyfriend blazers -- and has expanded beyond its traditional use in plain ol' pea coats and conservative skirt suits. The great thing about the fabric is its ability to makes items still look office-appropriate without appearing stuffy, yet it can also be dressed up with metallic details for a night out, or thrown on last minute for an upgrade of your usual "just rolled outta bed" look. For some wintry-warm tweed pieces that are still totally on-trend, check out the slideshow!

6 Geeky Gimmicky Cameras That Are Way More Fun Than Your Canon!

Alex Gambardella on Nov 4, 2009 10:25 AM PST

Whether you're a true studied photographer or simply rely on your iPhone and TwitPic to document your daily adventures, nowadays everyone's got the photo bug in some form or another. But have you noticed that despite the ever-increasing accessibility, portability and quality of cameras with all the latest tech developments, all the newly released digi gadgets have just started to look and function basically the same? Quick and convenient, sure, but borrring! Bring the creativity back to picture-taking and add some variety to those thousands of extended arm self-portraits you have tagged on Facebook with a novelty camera. Print photos instantly on the go with the Fuji Instax Camera (no need to scrounge around for your USB cord!), or create pop art portraits with the Pop Cam from Fred Flare. These novelty cameras aren't exactly a practical replacement for your usual point-and-shoot, but they're a fun addition to anyone who loves living behind the lens! Take a look at the slideshow for the 6 quirkiest cameras on the e-shelves today!

Hot In The Hive: Pac-Man Plug-And-Play Joystick

Alex Gambardella on Oct 15, 2009 6:18 AM PDT

If you've ever wolfed down an entire pepperoni pie by yourself just for an excuse to hang out at the local pizzeria and beat those kids' scores on the ancient Galaga machine (okay, maybe that's just me), have I got the gadget for you! This super-retro Pac-Man joystick literally looks like it was jacked straight out of the arcade and modernized to fit conveniently on your lap or coffee table. Just pop in some batteries and plug the device into your TV and you instantly have a long night ahead of you in old school gamer girl heaven. With 12 classic arcade games in one compact console, you can officially save the trip to the pizza joint (and the calories that inevitably come with it) and you can geek out in the privacy and convenience of your own home (unless, of course, you want to invite the whole building over for a tournament).

Price: $40
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Pac-Man Video Game Kit to the Hive.

Too Cool For School: Cute School Supplies

Amber Fijolek on Aug 28, 2009 2:17 PM PDT

Going back to school means you're about to have your brain jogging at high speed: cute clothes, cute boys, and something you should definitely think about before heading back to school, cute school supplies. Get your hands on some of the coolest things to get you through the reading, writing and arithmetic of the school year. For those of us like Kathleen Kelly of "You've Got Mail" who love the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, back to school season has an air of excitement all its own beginning with the scavenger hunt-like school supply lists. Sure, you could fulfill the the teacher's requirements with your older sister's tattered, floppy folders, but the cuter option of getting the newest and trendiest takes on drab wooden rulers and plain silver scissors make the thought of nine months of homework seem bearable! Take a peek at some school supply suggestions that will make you smile through your academic agonies!
