Depending where you are in the world, the summer temperature can vary, but most likely, it's gonna be HOT. And the hotter the weather, the less clothes and more skin and since we're already showing it off, why not take advantage of the sun and help yourself really sparkle for the summer? A light dusting of shimmery cosmetics over the body, or in small doses on the face catch the suns rays and adds a flirty, sexy appeal. I'm not talking about the body glitters that we applied so generously in our younger years that made us look like we tripped and fell into an elementary art project. Instead, think of a subtle shimmer in eye-shadows, lip glosses, blushes and bronzers. If applied correctly, a subtle shimmer helps slim and sculpt while adding a summer sparkle and is sure to catch attention. Ready to shine this summer?

Hot In The Hive: Doshi Levien Paper Planes Reading Chairs

All I wanna do is ... sink right into that seat. Doshi Levien's Paper Planes line of reading chairs are designed to help you do just that -- they're contemporary like the bulk of their esteemed furniture projects, and their asymmetrical shape was actually crafted specifically for comfort, making the chair as sophisticatedly practical as dad's leather LA-Z-BOY, just more smooth and sleek and effortlessly less burly. And this chair can actually recline in more ways than one. It was actually paper folding that fueled the creation of this swanky lounger. Furniture design may have been pushed against the grain in the conception of this piece of art, but upon further inspection, the lines and angles of the Paper Planes chairs seem to flow together in a way that that makes sound, geometric sense. Upon even closer inspection, you'll notice that some chairs actually shimmer with Swarovsky crystals that trace the graph paper-like grooves along the chair's many planes -- talk about baller. Unwind and relish in the creativity of the planet's edgiest reading chair while really indulging yourself by sitting on upholstery laced with the world's most famous crystals. We'd all probably be reading a bit more if we had a reading chair like one of Levien's Paper Planes. To afford a piece, however, I might just have to take your money. Check out the slideshow for a few more views of the project!
