    Style Flashback: Buffy From "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"

    Goth never looked quite as good as it did on Sarah Michelle Gellar as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She kicked some serious butt with some serious style. Buffy rocked black and leather like nobody's business, and the sultry bad-girl look she sported on the show landed her one of the hottest vampires on the small screen (we love you, Angel). We wanted some tips on how to re-create Buffy's look, and Lemondrop's fashion expert Brian answered the call. Brian says, "Buffy was edgy without being too over the top; sexy without showing too much skin -- and that's the reason she was always so stylin'. She straddled the line between kick-ass vampire slayer and regular teenager by mixing textures and styles to create a unique, am-I-dangerous-or-not look." Click over to Lemondrop to see how you can update her iconic 90s look.

    CHRISHABANA's new collection is now available at Karmaloop.com. One of my favorite jewelers, CHRISHABANA is serious about not taking things too seriously. The New York based jewelry line takes dark gothic elements (like crosses, skulls and spikes) and twists them around to become iconic, pop talismans. Since its debut in 2004, the designer himself has maintained a playful yet subversive approach to jewelry design. Favorites from the collection include The Spike Earrings, The Cross Triangle Earrings and The Cage Diamond Necklace. For the full collection, check out Karmaloop.com.

    Hot In The Hive: Dominic Jones Jewelry

    With stars like Rihanna leading the gothic, punk style trend and edgy vampires popping up as sex symbols everywhere from Twilight to True Blood, it's no surprise that designers have taken clothing and accessories to the next level. We're seeing metallic studs and points and shiny materials like patent leather and finished georgettes as added details of choice. Reds, blacks and greys are the new backdrops and blood red lips and pale, pale complexions are gracing the runways. One designer to jump on the "sexy-vampire" band-wagon? Dominic Jones. Jones' designs are right on with the current edgy, rocker, "don't get too close or I'll suck your blood" craze, but still makes it his own. Take his black and gold "fangs belt" for example. Black belts are nothing new, but the gold fangs meeting in the middle definitely make it different! The great thing about this belt is that you can wear it to amp up a simple sheath dress and add some attitude into your look, and then lend it to your crazy, over-the-top, super-trendy younger sister to wear over her slashed leggings and oversized tees.


    Price: Inquire at Dominic Jones for details!
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Dominic Jones "Fangs" Belt to the Hive.

    Take A Bite Out Of The "Twilight" Frenzy!

    Twilight fans are in a rabid frenzy this week because the movie based on Stephenie Meyer's four book series about a ho-hum accident-prone girl (Into the Wild's Kristen Stewart) who falls in love with a vampire (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's Robert Pattinson €“ if you haven't heard of him, you will be seeing him on magazine covers soon) is out in theaters today! Together they build a codependent relationship of teenage angst and emo-immortality. As said, the fans of this series are rabid. Case in point: look up the small riot that erupted when Pattinson made an appearance at a Hot Topic in San Francisco. The store that made goth and punk household names is the source for all Twilight fanatics. From "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" shirts (this makes more sense if you read the books) to pins and key chains of your favorite characters, the store has all you need to look like an obsessive fan €“ and there is no shame in that. I am wearing my Twilight hoodie right now.
