    Get Edgy With The Diesel Home Collection

    Diesel may be best known for their fabulous jeans, but it looks like they expanding their empire into home decor too. In particular, their home textile collection caught my eye. From eye-catching sheets, studded towels (whoa), and not your grandma's sofa covers, they definitely don't like like something you bought from Martha Stewart! The clever tromp l'oeil prints are super realistic and give the illusion that the pillow are tufted, and the sheets appear rumpled. You may have to explain to your parents that you did make your bed when they visit and I'm having a hard time imagining how I'd use a studded towel to dry myself off... but hey, at least it all looks cool! I can imagine die hard Diesel fans, rock stars, and edgy home decorators like Kelly Wearstler gravitating towards this collection. Available in select Diesel stores and other boutiques, check out their collection in my slideshow!

    Brit Pop star Kylie Minogue is the latest celebrity to lend her name to a designer line. But instead of focusing on trendy fashion, Kylie is designing home furnishings! "When we had our design meetings, I invited the team to my home," Kylie told reporters in London. "See what my living space is like, you might even notice things I kind of take for granted." The resulting Kylie At Home line (available only in the UK for now) features sheets, towels, curtains, cushions and pillows with glamtastic filigrees like sequins, diamantes, and semi-precious stones.

    Thread Count 101: Achieve Perfect Beauty Sleep on Luxe Linens

    Clearly, the term "thread count" is important or it wouldn't correspond so directly to the price of bed linens. So what exactly does it mean? Here's a handy primer and why the number of threads directly correlates to the number of hours of sweet sleep.

    What: Thread count is the number of threads woven together in a square inch of fabric. Finer thread allows for more thread to be woven into that square-inch, resulting in smoother, softer fabric.

    Who: Frette, Pratesi, Nancy Koltes are three of the big names in luxury bedding. Anna Sova and Veritas are less well-known companies that are jumping on the green trend by offering high thread-count, organic linens. Odds are they won't be under the radar for long!

    Keep in mind: The 200-400 thread count range is usually a safe bet, but sometimes you have to ignore the numbers and do some good old fashioned in-store testing or, if you prefer online shopping, at-home testing. Open that package up, press the pillowcase to your cheek, and let your skin do the deciding!

    Ready to run some numbers? Check out the slideshow for some of the Hive's high thread count bedding faves.
