    Spring is always such a fickle time of year. I'll head outside thinking it's a warm and sunny day, only to encounter gusty winds that threaten my hair and the hem of my skirt. While the weather tries to make up its mind, I've decided to look for warmer destinations, and what better place than St. Barths? We've already learned how we can look like a St. Barths jetsetter, but now's our chance to actually live it! You deserve the best, so staying at Isle de France is the answer to any getaway prayers! They just opened up their brand new beach suites that are perfect for a romantic stay for you and your sweetheart.

    Hot In The Hive: The Motorola AURA, A Luxury Watch-Inspired ...

    Is your mobile service contract up and in your search for a new phone, you just can't bring yourself to buy into all the iPhone hype? Are you perhaps looking for something a bit more -- oh, I don't know -- stylish? Expensive?! Well, lucky for you, Motorola has just released the most exorbitant phone buy you'll be able to find! At a lavish $1,999.99, the Motorola AURA fuses the worlds of top-of-the-line technology and that of designer timepieces to bring you the first circular display mobile phone (a 62-carat sapphire crystal circular display at that!) to provide the luxury of fine jewelry with the crystal-clear yakking capabilities of a mobile phone. Does it have a full keyboard? No. Does it come with cool apps? No. Does it have a touch-screen? Of course not, but it is about as heavy as a brick (so you can literally "feel the richness," it says) so it can weigh down your pocket after it burns a hole in your wallet. Perf! Hopefully you still remember how to read an analog clock, 'cause this baby is already a whopper of a waste of money as it is!


    Price: $1,999.99
    Who Found It: shopchick was the first to add the Motorola AURA to the Hive.

    Charlie Palmer is so much more than your average steakhouse. Executive chef Matt Hill grills up dry-aged steak from the eastern shore of Maryland, beautiful sauteed fish, and locally sourced produce to for his Washington, D.C. restaurant. As for the entrees, don't expect anything to be too manipulated; Hill likes to keep things simple, and doesn't underestimate the ability to showcase the natural flavors of his dishes. But do expect an impressive wine selection: the restaurant boasts 10,000 bottles of wine on the premise, 3,500 of which are displayed in an innovative wine cube. Step outside to the rooftop terrace and catch a glimpse of the magnificent view of the Capitol.

    Looking For Pretty And Practical Lingerie? La Perla, Please...

    Lisanne Silverman on Feb 10, 2009 1:24 PM PST
    I don't know about you, but I happen to find the process of rationalizing lingerie purchases pretty easy. Did I really need five more pairs of aerie boyshorts? No, but I won't need to do laundry as often. That Honeydew satin cami set? Totally unexpected and cute- plus, you have to give your other lingerie pieces a break sometimes. And it goes without saying that there's no such thing as too much Natori or Hanky Panky- it's a fact. But when it comes to lingerie by innovative Italian label La Perla, the pretty price tags might require a bit more rationalizing than usual. The luxury lingerie brand makes some of the most captivating underthings you'll ever lay eyes on, and with just a few key pieces you'll no longer see your lingerie collection as a mix of boring yet functional basics punctuated by oh-so pretty, oh-so unpractical things. Take this delicately adorned push up bra from the Malizia collection- its simple shape and subtle yet stunning embroidery make it a top drawer must-have, and at $113, it's quite reasonable as far as luxury lingerie goes- plus, you can always try it on in-store and then search sites like barenecessities.com for sales. For luxurious design at an easy to swallow price, look to La Perla Studio- this mesh bra is perfect for everyday wear, but looks anything but basic and is just $42. With Valentine's Day just days away, I've found some of the dreamiest La Perla creations, just begging to be wrapped and unwrapped this Saturday (even if you just buy them for yourself). Click the slideshow to see my no-rationalization-necessary favorites!
