    Hot In The Hive: Purse Flats!

    image

    Who says you need to sacrifice quality for comfort? Purse Flats are comfy portable shoes that fold up neatly into a cute accompanying clutch to salvage stiletto-sore feet on the dance floor, out on the town, or even during long meetings at work. Since they've been spotted on Mya during her "Dancing With The Stars" rehearsals, you gotta figure they must be pretty comfortable, not to mention sturdy! Sure, they're not as affordable as the vending machine Rollasole version, but a portion of the proceeds is donated to support underprivileged youth! Plus, since I have yet to find a shoe dispenser at any club I've been to, Purse Flats sound like a pretty dependable alternative on the go!


    Price: $240, includes purse & flats

    Hot In The Hive: MovieWedge

    Man, do I wish I had discovered the MovieWedge in time for my last sleepless red-eye flight to New York! Think of the plushy little media player stand as a bean bag chair for your iPod -- it's tiny, squishy and portable, and props up your device at an adjustable viewing angle so you can watch videos on your device hands-free. Anyone who's had to entertain themselves on the go knows it's a pain to have to hold your player for hours at a time (or at least until your downloads run its battery life dry). Now you and your iPod can be cozy just about anywhere as it sits atop its little perch on any tray table, arm rest, or even on your lap!


    Price: $9.95

    Anyone who ever goes out on the town with a gaggle of gal-pals knows that before you leave the house, you need to take a mandatory self-timer group pic. Now, thanks to the DigiDudes Portable Camera Tripods, you don't have to balance your digital camera on random textbooks and appliances to get just the right angle for you, or kick one unlucky lady out of the picture to just take the freakin' photo so you can leave already. Digidudes are small and portable and can be attached to your keys or your camera bag, and simply unscrew to serve as a tripod for your digital camera, camcorder, Flip, or what-have-you for stable picture-taking on the go. They even come in a variety of colors and "characters" -- like Pinky Scorsese, G-Bling-Money-Son, and Snot Buster (um, ew) -- to serve as the perfect portable pal for you and your picture-taking needs!


    Price: $24.99 each

    Laptop Add-ons That'll Have Your Notebook Back-To-School ...

    So you've picked out the laptop that will (hopefully) serve as your loyal lifeline through the four (or more) years ahead full of harrowing all-nighters and endless study sessions. Check. But is its just-out-of-the-box pristine condition completely ready for what it has in store once it's shipped off with you to college? It may be shiny and new, but is it really ready to tackle the long walks to class, the thousands of party pictures, and (gasp!) the spilled energy drinks? Maybe not, but with this selection of laptop additions, you and your notebook will be fully supplied and stylishly accessorized for both working hard and hardly working. Make sure you have a desktop cord organizer to keep all your tangled cables in check, for one, and don't forget to nab a sweet pair of speakers to lure the floormates into your room for your own dorm dance party (after your paper is done, of course). Check the slideshow for some back-to-school laptop loot!

    Hot In The Hive: Thermos-Minis by Crea Crea And Crescioni Vanina!

    You almost wouldn't expect something so whimsically designed and sweetly packaged from the seriously sophisticated and cynically chic French! Just to prove that they are always unpredictable and one-step ahead, French designers Crea Crea and Crescioni Vanina are introducing Thermos-minis! These cute little drink containers are the baby-siblings of the huge, heavy, stainless steel versions that my dad lugs around in order to save money on coffee. They are obviously smaller, but still hold enough that you won't be left wanting more caffeine after drinking the last drops. These Thermos-minis hold about 8 oz of whatever drink you want... hot, cold, or spiked (just kidding). Besides keeping a good temperature on your drinks (because if it didn't, it wouldn't be a Thermos), these Thermos-minis also come in an array of fun and colorful designs and patterns. Personalize your morning pick-me-up by choosing anything from Asian-inspired floral patterns to multi-colored dots and shapes! There's even ones that resemble a tiny man or an umbrella toting frog! All the designs are different, but all are whimsical, care-free and full of bright color. Their size allows you to pop them into a purse or tote, or to throw into the backseat of a car. No more cookie-cutter, silver steel thermoses that need their own carrier just to transport them around!


    Price: $38.00

    Portable Beauty Products For Glamming On The Go!

    If you were to take a look into my purse, you'd realize instantly that it's actually just my makeup bag in disguise, crammed to the zipper with all kinds of cumbersome, clunky products and their accompanying brushes that I threw in at the last-minute for use in a makeup emergency that never actually happens, or in the rare occurrence in which I would find myself forced to open up my own MAC counter in the middle of the street at any given moment. The truth is, I only end up actually using a select few of the whole array of knick-knacks I haul along with me every day, and even though I come across plenty of opportunities for touch-ups at various points in my daily routine, less than half of the tools and products are actually practical for portable use while on a bumpy bus ride or while standing in line for coffee with your hands full. Luckily, plenty of our favorite beauty brands have caught on to this busy-girl dilemma and have developed "to-go" versions of their most popular must-have beauty basics, making their products much more travel-friendly (no brushes or applicators required!), genuinely usable anytime anywhere, and overall much more low-maintenance! With conveniently sleek nail polish pens by OPI, self-sharpening lip pencils, and even a wireless mini flat iron, you'll find yourself saving room in your purse and your makeup bag, not to mention looking your best the whole day through! Check the slideshow for more beauty products for the busy gal!
