    Hive 5: Kiddie Fashion Comebacks!

    Warning: nostalgia-inducing fashion finds ahead! Recently I have been coming across some of my favorite primary-school styles right here in the Hive. Now these "kiddie" fashion finds aren't exactly duplicates of childhood faves - these old school styles have been re-born, modernized, and are now totally fashionable. For example, jellies. Who knew that these rainbow-colored summer staples could ever be the inspiration behind a chic pair of flats - perfect for fall. And remember those chunky and colorful Baby-G watches? Well, Toy Watch has an updated version - still colorful, just not so clunky. I even found your little brother's silly and cartoonish dinosaur t-shirt! This one's made feminine with a v-neck and pastel colors. So take a trip down memory lane and check out my SLIDESHOW to see my five favorite kiddie fashion comebacks. And be sure to search the Hive for even more!

    Editor's Pick: A Modern Romance

    Confession: I take being indecisive to new levels. So when it comes to decorating my room-- an ongoing process, given what I just mentioned-- a mix of styles is key. I happen to love the streamlined look of modern decor, but in all honesty, it eventually bores me and I crave something with a touch more intrigue. Likewise, another part of me obsesses over intricately detailed pieces with a hint of enchantment, even a bit of baroque styling behind them-- but they can't be too fussy. Did I mention I'm a little picky? Anyway, I channeled all of those fun little quirks into finding the perfect home accents, just the ones that balance the modern with the romantic for a result that's simply charming. Come to think of it, they're just like you know who. But I digress. Click on my SLIDESHOW and see how to add a little modern romance to your room!

    10 Cool Cocktail Tables To Complement Your Espresso Martini

    In my search for a few super cool coffee tables I came across a similar variety known as the cocktail table. These pieces are like the coffee table's trendier little sister, and their smaller size allows for more playful design. I love Giulio Cappellini's spherical table - it's modern yet soft and would contrast angular pieces beautifully. And no list would be complete without Karim Rashid's 'magino' coffee table - the acrylic medium complements the design perfectly. You'll find those two and many more in my slideshow of crazy cool coffee and cocktail tables, so gather 'round and enjoy! I'm just left with one question: which one would look best holding my espresso martini?

    10 Kartell Pieces Fit For A Dream House

    Lisanne Silverman on Mar 28, 2008 10:16 AM PDT
    Confession: I still have a Barbie Dream House. Actually that's not true, and I haven't had one since the elevator on my two-story one broke circa 1991. But I do have a dream house in the back of my mind, and it's filled with furniture by Italian manufacturer Kartell. The Milan-based design house is known for its contemporary and above all practical focus. Each piece, from the simple 'louis ghost' chair to the playful 'toobe' floor lamp is the result of careful studies of the relationship between plastic and technology. Kartell's collections also benefit from its international design base, where designers like Ron Arad, Piero Lissoni, Maarten Van Severen, and Philippe Starck keep the ever-expanding flow of ideas in constant motion. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for 10 pieces you'll find in my Kartell dream house. (Sorry, Barbie.)
