    Casual But Chic Camp Shirts Are A Summer Staple

    This summer, camp shirts are popping up all over the place, from the traditional structured styles to sheer, more billowy ones. They have a collar and most are button-down, so tuck them into a great pair of wide-leg linen pants and throw on a pair of pumps to be office ready! Change into a flirty skirt and wedge sandals, or some skinny jeans and peep-toe stilettos and you'll look chic and fresh for any after-hours plans you may have. Very comfortable, completely versatile and sweetly sexy in that borrowed-from-the-boys kind of way, camp shirts are the perfect summer staple. They can even double as swim cover-ups! Check out the slideshow for some of my favorites from designers like Modern Amusement, Rag & Bone, American Eagle, and more!

    You're always in the market for new clothes, but in this summer heat, the mall is almost as much of a madhouse as it is around the holidays. The usual alternative would be online shopping from your favorite e-boutiques, but you're sick of guesstimating sizes only to find the goods either ill-fitting or damaged (*gasp*) upon arrival... and forget trying to get good customer service through an e-mail window! Enter Lands' End UK, an iconic go-to brand in men's and women's clothing, known for their long-lasting quality garments, mail-order convenience, and personable customer service for all your pesky returns and exchanges (you'll actually talk to a person and not a machine for a change!). The US-based brand, boasting everything from coats and cardigans to footwear and intimate apparel, has become a summer sale staple in the UK with their no-fuss women's swimwear collection that emphasizes the perfect balance between flattering cut and comfort. Low-maintenance guys dig Lands' End too, since they can stock up on their collection of classic polos, tees, and button-downs without ever stepping foot in a shopping center. The site may cost you a shopping buddy, but at least you won't have to pick out your dude's summer shirts for him! Check out the Lands' End UK webpage to browse their wide variety of clothing and swimwear and start ordering away!

    First dates are nerve-wracking in all kinds of ways. You're stressed if the guy will like you, if your hair is going to do that weird flippy thing it sometimes does, and most importantly, if your outfit is just right. Well, have no fear, for I have developed a guide to dressing for the occasion. These outfits are perfect for casual restaurants, movies, mini golf -- almost anytime! Remember to wear your most flattering jeans with this beaded tank from Banana Republic, and your outfit is sure to sparkle just as much as your eyes! Or for a cooler evening, pair this flirty ruffle wrap cardigan from Gap with white jeans or skinnies and boots for a great look! Personally, I think the best way to look cute and casually put together is by throwing on a cotton jersey dress and your favorite flats or sandals. Try this ruffle tube dress from Urban Outfitters, sure to hug your body in all the right places. Check out my slideshow for lots of casual first-date-fits!

    How To Make A Top From Your Dad's Old Silk Ties

    Jennifer Stern is a contributor at CraftStylish, a site dedicated to do-it-yourself art and design projects. Below she shares how you can turn Dad's old duds into a flowy new top for yourself!


    I have a pile of old ties that my dad cast off to me-- it turned out to be a treasure trove of silk fabric! I decided to embark on a design adventure; I wanted to make something out of them that didn't have the "this was made from men's silk ties" look. I took advantage of the fact that neckties are cut on the bias and used them to make a top with a little flutter. After choosing seven or eight ties from the pile, I took them apart. Then I draped them on my dress form. As I played with them, I ended up using two ties over each shoulder, joining them in the center front and back. This created a graceful V-neck. The ties closest to the shoulders created a fluttery cap sleeve. I joined the front and back with a tie on each side, finishing the armholes at the same time! After I finished draping and sewing, I stood back to evaluate the design-- it looked like a top that was made from ties! The telltale prints and colors combined with the pointed tips at the hem were a dead giveaway. I have to admit, it was pretty interesting with the ready-made "handkerchief" hem, but keeping with my original goal, I chopped off the points at the ends of the ties to straighten out the hem. With the weight of the lined points gone, the result was a graceful draping top...I love it!

    ONE MORE WEEK! Play Stylehive's "The Hunt" And Win $500 Worth ...

    Great news! We've extended our JAMES PERSE "Hunt" contest for one more week! Read on to find out how you can win!


    I used to be really bad about buying black tee shirts- at one point, I counted about seven seemingly identical black tops in my closet (they were each different, I swear!), and of course, I only wore one of them- a super-soft twist-neck tank top from James Perse that I scooped up in multiple colors during a particularly good sale at Bloomingdale's. James Perse tees are more than just basics- put one on and I dare you not to buy it. Sure, they're pricier than your average tee, but think about all of the $20 tees you'll never have to buy again! Plus, JP tees hold up incredibly well and won't lose their shape if you care for them properly. Throw one on (like the tugged pocket tee) with your favorite denim and sure, you're in a tee and jeans, but you feel like so much more. Tuck the short sleeve raglan scoop tee into a mini or pencil skirt and step into a pair of heels for that effortlessly put-together look, or skip the heels and go California cool in flip flops- the wardrobe possibilities that you get with these tees are endless. We've teamed up with James Perse for this week's "The Hunt" contest, and we're giving three lucky winners the chance to each win $500 worth of JP merchandise! Entering the contest is easy- just bookmark your favorite James Perse items, and encourage others to hive your items as well by sending messages to your followers- and if your bookmark is one of the top THREE most popular at the end of the week, you win! Throughout the week you can check and see who's in the lead. Catch the full contest rules here for more information. You must be a Stylehive member to play, so click here to register for free and start hiving! The contest ends this Friday. Good luck!
