Wedding What-To-Wear-Underneaths!

Amber Fijolek on Jun 3, 2009 10:22 AM PDT

Now, while it's not something all the guests will see, you should put some thought into what you're wearing underneath your beautiful gown on your wedding day. For the big day, it's all about comfort, control, and some sass, because your after-reception will be the inception of some intimate Mister and Misses time. Aside from the assortment of playful pieces of string and lace that you'll need to stop your new hubby's heart in its tracks for the entirety of your honeymoon, an "under ensemble" for the outfit in which you've been planning to take the plunge is essential for chapel day. Consider things with a corset to tauten up your marriage mirage as well as things with shelf to tease, as your man will probably be ripping you out of the gear you've spent months arranging. Have a secure, smooth and stimulating big day with tips from this undergarment-slideshow!

Get Organized In The New Year with These Clutter-Reducing Tips!

Kristin on Jan 13, 2009 9:16 AM PST

Is your New Year's resolution to organize your closet, your house, your life? If the things around you in your everyday life are in order, you might find yourself with a more orderly mind as well. So we've found some great storage items to help you reduce the clutter in your home - and maybe add to its beauty at the same time! Look for furniture that does double duty, such as a trunk-style coffee table in which you can store magazines and books. Put clothing you don't use year-round under your bed and out of the way. Hang CDs and DVDs from a door with a media rack. Save space with shelves that lean against the wall instead of a bulkier bookcase. Or put up photos on an interesting wall shelf from West Elm. You're sure to clear up space and clear your head. Check out the SLIDESHOW!

Hive 5: Sneaky Stylish Storage Solutions

Greta on Aug 26, 2008 6:13 PM PDT

There are people who don't hold onto things, who donate clothing right when it goes out of style, and who refrain from holding onto precious memorabilia. I am not one of those people. I have always struggled parting with clothing, books, old toys, shoes, ticket stubs, seashells, even fortune cookie fortunes. My (clutter-phobe) father has difficulty understanding this compulsion of mine; he loves uncluttered counter tops and minimalistic rooms. And after a few years of living/studying/eating in cramped college quarters, I too am beginning to understand the beauty of minimalism. All of my "stuff" made my already small room almost unbearable. Cutting back on this excessive behavior is definitely a work in progress, but I recently came across some items in the Hive that made both the hoarder and the minimalist in me smile. Storage solutions that let you hold on - without worrying about cramping your space! These modern solutions are either hidden or camouflaged, and they all promote a clutter-free existence. So check out my SLIDESHOW for five awesomely inventive sneaky storage solutions!
