Style Flashback: Lisa Turtle From 'Saved by the Bell'

Ida Hsiang on Oct 26, 2009 5:19 AM PDT

Jessie Spano was the brains and Kelly Kapowski was the beauty, but it was Lisa Turtle who had all the style. Saved by the Bell's resident style expert and gossip queen was sassy with sophisticated taste -- heck, she was even accepted into the Fashion Institute of Technology on the show's finale. But could we pull off her over-the-top look? To the rescue with some tips on making it work: our in-house fashion expert Brian. Brian says Lisa's wild style is back in a big way with graphic fit-and-flare dresses and light-wash denim jackets. Turn down the volume on her high-intensity style by sticking to tamer prints with fewer colors. Check out more of Lisa Turtle's style by clicking over to our friends at Lemondrop!

Let Stylehive's Stylescopes Predict Your Perfect Print!

Ida Hsiang on Aug 24, 2009 4:26 PM PDT

Color blocking and tried and true solids are great for numerous occasions, but cosmic powers have stated that prints are the way to go! Prints add interest to an outfit and are a good way to show your personal taste and style. An all-over tribal print dress really makes a statement while a printed scarf is a subtle nod to the trend. Prints and patterns are all over the place from runways to retail stores and are offered in a wide array of looks that either add a sweetly feminine spin or show trendy hipster style. Florals, ethnic prints, polka dots... they're all cute, but not every print works for everyone! So while that floral print skirt looks great on your best friend, you may be more suited for a funky tribal pattern. With all the options out there, how do you find the time to try them all on? Let the stars guide you to the perfect print that flatters and shows your own unique fashion sense. Check out the slideshow and see what prints you should try this week!

Recessionistas Spring Over Personality Jackets For Spring!

kate napleton on Mar 23, 2009 11:22 AM PDT

It's still a little chilly outside, even if the snow has melted. You need a little something to cover your arms, but you can no longer stand your winter jackets. Enter the spring "personality" jacket, stage left. This charming, colorful jacket is waiting to take your style from winter blahs to spring ahh's! Just slap it over your basics - black pants, skirts, capris, white shirts (well, you, get the idea) and all of the sudden, you're Ms. Chic in your city! I personally find myself falling in love with this Semantiks 'deep end' raglan sleeve jacket, but let's be honest, I've been rocking this Marc by Marc Jacobs 'hopscotch' jacket since I picked it up on deep discount on Black Friday. Anyway, find one that you are absolutely crazy for, and go for it. You'll wear it more than you can imagine over work apparel and casually with jeans. Happy searching and check out my slideshow for plenty of possibilities!

Looks like the print phenomenon has jumped from couture to furniture! I consider printed furniture the costume jewelry of the interior design world-- when kept to a minimum, the look is striking but not overkill. It goes without saying that these printed pieces are real scene stealers, so let them have the spotlight and let your other accents merely accent. From well-placed patterns to the most wayward and whimsical ones out there, I've found ten of the coolest printed pieces in the Hive from designers including Kartell, Marimekko, and Missoni. Watch the slideshow and tell me which one gets your vote!
