Alex Gambardella on Nov 2, 2009 2:19 PM PST

No matter how much you try to keep your inner nerdiness and Facebook addiction on the down-low, we are living in a digital age, so it's about time you openly embrace it -- in and out of the closet! While all this fuss about portable HD camcorders and YouTube videos and TV channels may make pixelated images a thing of the distant past (reserved for old school Pac Man machines), digital prints are making a comeback in the form of clothing and accessories! This Pixelated Stretch Dress by Nicole Miller is perfect for the computer nerd who really knows how to clean up, and this Pixel Flower Necklace will have you rubbing your eyes in confusion... in a good way! Take a look at the slideshow for some of my favorite pixelated prints that will play all sorts of geeky tricks on your eyes.

Skin is In! Charming Snakeskin Accessories To Slither Into ...

Pauline Montupet on Jul 28, 2009 10:27 AM PDT

Snakeskin prints have slithered their way into stores! At the spring runway shows, they were on everything-- dresses, skirts, hats, bags, shoes, belts... and dyed in every color! It's all about adding texture to your look with skins. Look for color-rich reptile accessories; they're a great way to dabble in the trend without looking like a walking (well, slithering) reptile. Real snakeskin and python can be quite expensive, but there are plenty of faux embossed options that will keep you from having buyer's remorse when this trend slithers away. Try a sexy snakeskin sandal with a basic ensemble to pump up a look. A bright colored python belt works perfectly to cinch this season's slouchy boyfriend jeans and khakis. Don't be afraid to mix and match your snakeskin- just keep one neutral and the other colorful for a coordinating but not overly calculated look. Check out the slideshow to see some ssssssuper sssnake accessories that are sure to charm you!

Bring Out Your Wild Side With Help From Stylehive's Stylescopes!

Alex Gambardella on Apr 20, 2009 4:17 PM PDT

In preparation for spring, we were all about the festive egg-dye pastels and quintessential floral prints, but now that the Easter bunny has come and gone, we at Stylehive are looking for fashion inspiration from some much more stylish critters. Animal print may scare off some traditionally demure girls who have always written off zebra, leopard, giraffe, and boa as patterns suited only for the tacky and fashionably loud and best left on the African Savannah, but the celestial spirits are here to prove that wild prints can be both sophisticated and sexy! For example, Virgos can look forward to brightening things up in an eye-popping orange leopard tank, while Aries girls will keep it subtle and classy in a printed party dress! Whether you're destined to sport stripes, spots, or scales, you're bound to look hot while walking on the wild side this week! Check out the slideshow to see what kind of animal print best suits your sign!

Mary Kincaid on Jun 13, 2008 8:16 AM PDT

Python. Anaconda. Cobra. While many fashionistas wouldn't get within a few feet of a live snake, they're perfectly happy to carry a snakeskin handbag.

There are growing concerns, for instance, that this fashion obsession is wreaking havoc on the populations of the most popular species of snakes as well as affecting the ecosystems of their natural habitats.
