Hot In The Hive: Kate Spade Hand In Hand Mittens

Alex Gambardella on Nov 10, 2009 6:18 AM PST

If you're having a hard time justifying all the inevitably expensive holiday gift-shopping this year in light of our current economic state, how about opting for a present that truly gives back? Famed accessories brand Kate Spade has recently formed a partnership with Women for Women International known as the Hand In Hand program, which employs war survivors from Bosnia, giving them a chance to get their future back on track. The result? A collection of hand-knit winter accessories, including these Colorblock Mittens, that keep you warm during the dreary weather ahead while the proceeds help women abroad rebuild their lives. If that's not incentive to spread some Christmas joy this season despite your dismal paycheck, I don't know what is!

Price: $95
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Hand In Hand Mittens to the Hive.

Tie One On: Vintage Fashionistas Find Multiple Uses for Scarves

Mary Kincaid on Oct 2, 2009 8:29 AM PDT

I tweeted the other day about an Apartment Therapy post that highlighted how beautiful shopping bags can look when framed and hung on the wall. Then today, I spied a lovely shot of a framed Vera scarf that also does double-duty when framed and hung as art. Now if you're anything like me, you have more beautiful scarves in your drawers than any one fashionista could ever wear and thinking about them as art just may inspire you to bring them a few of them into the light of day. Or perhaps this idea is just the excuse you need to wrap your manicured hands around just one more silk beauty for your collection. Click the slideshow and you'll find some vintage scarves that can adorn both your jacket and your mantle!

Springy Men's Scarves Move To The Lightweight Division

Dino-Ray Ramos on Apr 26, 2009 9:19 AM PDT

In essence, a scarf is one of two things: 1) a piece of fabric that you wrap around your neck to keep you warm or 2) a decorative item that hangs on your neck like garland on a Christmas tree. For the spring and summer seasons, the latter is what we look for. Ultimately, a scarf in the warmer season doesn't really serve a purpose. I have a lightweight scarf that I wore on a nice sunny day and no matter how warm I got, I refused to take it off because it pulled the outfit together in a way no other accessory can. Also, I didn't want to expose my neck in fear that it would be grotesquely sweaty. Nonetheless, lightweight scarves for the warmer seasons work well when the fabric is breathable and when it is wrapped loosely around your neck with dapper flair. For something a little simpler, opt for any of American Apparel's sheer jersey scarves. If you're going for that urban bandit look, Urban Outfitters can make you look like the ultimate hipster. And if you really wanna go all out, Phillip Lim's beaded silk scarf can turn a bunch of heads. Check out the slideshow for more man-friendly scarves.
