    Jenni Kayne is best known for her classically chic pieces that are a perfect fusion of wearability and edge. For Fall '09, she added some nerdy touches to her designs, including large rimmed glasses, menswear inspired pants, and boyfriend blazers that look oh-so-cool and perfect for fall. A loose fitting leather mini skirt paired with opaque tights is sexy enough for night, yet the roomy fit and the covered legs make it totally day appropriate as well! Pair the skirt with a bone colored draped tee and a black boyfriend blazer when the winter chill starts to roll in for the perfect sexy nerd look. The final touches? A large wooden bead necklace and some totally sexy nerd round-framed spectacles. Check out the slideshow to see how to get the look yourself!

    You can feel good about getting your new eyeglasses from GlassesUSA because they're not just in it for profit, they want to help those less fortunate too. Any eyeglasses that are returned to GlassesUSA aren't restocked like in other optical stores, but are donated to organizations around the U.S. that sanitize them and distribute them to people all over the world who need glasses but can't afford vision care. If you've worn prescription eyeglasses for any length of time, you know that seeing properly is not just a luxury but a necessity. EyeglassesUSA is committed to making sure that as many people as possible have correct vision. The company has two offices: one in New Jersey, and the other in Israel. Prescription eyeglasses are produced at both sites in order to bring the newest available styles to customers as quickly as possible. One of the benefits of new glasses (besides better vision!) is that a new pair of glasses is almost like a makeover. The right eyeglass frames can take your look from edgy to professional to fashion forward, and eyeglasses are much more fun to try on than most things.

    Hot In The Hive: Vazu Foldable Vases

    The forever-old custom of giving flowers as gifts would be a whole lot easier if you didn't have to worry about the glass vase not surviving the car ride over to the housewarming party you're attending. Vases usually aren't cheap, they break too easily, and they take up lots of precious storage room when you're too busy to keep them full of fresh-picked flowers. Apparently the masterminds behind the Vazu Foldable Vase had the same frustrations regarding flower-giving. The Vazu vase comes flat in its package and expands to form a sturdy, free-standing vase that you can fill with water and put on display with your flower arrangement. When you're finished, it re-folds easily back into its package for simple storage, and at only $4.99, you can afford to give it as part of a gift -- no broken glass and no lending out your grandma's old vase with the chance you'll never get it back! It even comes in a ton of colorful patterns that can coordinate with any bouquet arrangement. Check out the selection at the Vazu site!


    Price: $4.99 each
    Who Found It: moderntribe was the first to add the Vazu Foldable Vases to the Hive.

    Line To Watch: PRISM London

    Take glasses beyond a necessity and into being an accessory. Frames are as important as any other accessories, and maybe even more as they are on your face. Glasses are a way to express individuality and immediately change your look, even people who don't even need glasses are even wearing them. PRISM frames are here to help you do just that. Inspired by vintage frames from the '50s and '60s the designer Anne Laub also pulled inspiration from street style in cities like New York, Paris and Rome- cities that also give each pair of frames there namesake. The unisex collection has bold frames in cat-eyed, oval and square shapes made in cool colors like midnight blue, zebra tortoise and clear. Each pair of glasses is handmade and hand finished using traditional techniques. There are no big factory style molds being used here, so each frame is like a unique piece of art. Each pair features a subtle prism graphic on the arm that is more low key than a flashy logo. Even the case they come in, a clear prism-shaped box is super fashionable, and can even function as a rad clear clutch! The glasses are available now for pre-order at www.prismlondon.com and will hit stores in July.

    Face the Summer Sun - From the Future

    Sunglasses are a necessity in the summer, and this season's trends appear to be heading in opposite directions. On one hand, you've got the oversized vintage look carried over from last year and featuring large, rounded shapes and subtle, smoky colors. They're very pretty, very feminine, and a bit reminiscent of Jackie O. On the other hand, there's a new futurism trend as well, and frankly it appears the sky is the limit where that is concerned. Galactic angular shapes, bold angles, and downright Devo-looking frames. If you're curious to try the new futuristic style of shades out, you may as well head to the edge of the galaxy and go for these Incognito glasses by Martin Margiela. Far out!
