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

    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!

    These Platform Pumps Make It Chic To Be Square!

    Pointed, rounded, almond, peep toe... you may think you've got your bases covered when it comes to shoe shopping, but there's a new style on the block that's ready to take over. Square toe platform pumps are popping up everywhere lately -- designer and bargain brands alike -- and are bringing that ballerina-inspired pointe shoe look to the style scene. The flattened toe provides a vintage feel, especially if you go Mad Men style with a pencil skirt, while the platform gives the look a modern edge. Be careful when indulging in this trend, though -- if you're looking to elongate your legs, you might not want to throw out all your pointed pumps and replace them with their snubbed-toe counterpart! However, all you leggy girls can lust after the trend without fear! Of course, your credit card may have reason to fret if you go overboard... check the slideshow to see a selection of hot square-toed platforms!

    8 Bandage Booties And Pumps That'll Have Your Feet Under Wraps!

    Sure, it's always sad to see a once-hot trend overstay its welcome, but the good news is that some of our favorite styles don't necessarily leave the racks forever -- they just migrate to another department! What the Herve Leger bandage dress (or its more affordable counterparts) did for the body, the bandage bootie does for the feet (well, sort of). We won't go as far as describing the footwear trend as "feet-con" in the spirit of "body-con," but the thick-strapped look is similarly sexy in its banded, wrapped-up appearance. Put a sexy spin on the classic Mary Jane with this banded suede pump by Acne, or go strappy (and save!) with a multi-textured gladiator-style heel from Forever 21. Take a look at the slideshow for 8 varied takes on the bandage heel!

    Whether you're tackling midterms or quarter finals this week, impatiently crossing off the calendar days in anxious anticipation of Spring Break, or just trying to trudge through another tough few days at the office, it can be a struggle to work up the motivation every morning to keep your fingers off the snooze button and get ready to give your all to everything you'll attempt throughout the day. With all the to-do's piling up on your plate, it might seem frivolous to take out extra time from your agenda or precious sleep schedule to plan out the perfect ensemble, footwear included; after all, whatever you grab off your closet floor in the dim wee hours of the dawn will suit you just fine. However, haven't you ever noticed how looking great, feeling confident head-to-toe, and even just feeling excited about a new pair of shoes just boosts your overall mood and makes your optimism go through the roof? That's right, I'll say it -- a stylish pair of shoes can save the day! Whether your week is best suited for some smart flats like Virgos, a practical pair of tennies for speedy Sagittariuses, or a killer pair of platforms for ultimate attention-getting Aquariuses, you're destined to find that putting a little extra thought into what you tread in will not only make you look amazing, but will also help you be armed and ready for whatever hoops you'll have to jump through or obstacles you'll have to sidestep in the days ahead. Check the slideshow to see what the stars have in store for you and your feet this week!

    Hive 5: This Summer Go Naked!

    No, I'm not talking about indecent exposure here - nude shoes are what I'm after! Not only do skin-toned kicks come in a wide variety of heights and styles, but they can be paired with virtually any outfit! The celebs caught on early. Remember Angelina Jolie's nude flats that she wore with dark skirts and slacks? How about Christina Aguilera's Christian Louboutin patent platform pumps on the red carpet? Oh, and who could forget those tattered ballet flats Amy Winehouse refused to part with for months on end!? Yes, trends may come and go, but I'm convinced that nude shoes are here for the long run. Not only is this style versatile, but figure flattering too. The neutral skin-tone has an elongating effect, giving legs a (much appreciated) "never ending" appearance. The Hive is full of nudies. Check out my slideshow for five of my faves.
