    It's all about making a personal statement through jewelry these days. Chunky bracelets, multi-layered necklaces and huge earrings help add character and individual style to sleek outfits, but many times, these gorgeous works of wearable art cost more than we're willing to shell out. The great thing about statement jewelry is that it's eye-catching and highly memorable, but the downside is also how memorable it can be. Sure, you could wear your statement piece every day, and you'd certainly get your money's worth, but people would probably begin to notice and you might get bored of the piece yourself! Check out the slideshow for our favorite standout pieces and scoop up a few to add to your outfits- at under $50 each, you can shift your thinking to style statements, not bank statements!

    When money is tight, it can be hard to stun your peers with your stellar fashion sense. Well, fashion is like a chameleon-- it changes quickly, and adapts to everything around us, so when your fashionista within needs a good pick-me-up but you've got little money to spend, what do you do? First and foremost, focus on accessories! No matter where you go, when it comes to shopping for earrings versus shopping for a dress, it's the latter that will likely cause your ATM card to groan more. My favorite things to add to rejuvenate any outfit are bold earrings, and whether they're big, colorful, or just downright weird, there's always the perfect earring out there to make any outfit complete- and plenty of cheap, cute options at that. Check out my slideshow to find plently of modestly priced ear candy that's guaranteed to make any outfit!

    B is for...Bold Statement Jewelry

    You've probably been hearing about statement jewelry for some time now, but come fall it's back and bolder than ever. That means the baubles you thought were too over-the-top are now the ones you'll want to be wearing, no matter how big, bulky, or blinged-out they are! Want to add some punch to a basic tee and jeans? Throw on Subversive's 'sunken treasure' necklace- the melange of chains and charms was made to be shown off. Need a big accessory for that little black dress? An Erickson Beamon stone, crystal, and gold leaf cuff should do the trick. The pieces we're about to show you are worth their weight in gold, silver, and pretty much anything else you could think of, but don't let a little heavy lifting scare you away. Go to Fall A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's selections, and click on our slideshow for even more bold statement jewelry picks.

    Hive 5: Spice Up Your Look With Red Lipstick!

    I've come to the conclusion that it's time to play with makeup again. For so long, makeup has on a daily basis been used to make us look "naturally" beautiful. The "I just naturally look like this" act has been in play for quite some time and in my opinion needs to be retired for a while! The newest statement that is being worn for both day and evening makeup looks is a strikingly saturated red lip. Think of Dita Von Teese, pin up girls, and old Hollywood glamour as your inspirations. I've selected an array of stains, glosses, and lipsticks to give you as many means as possible to achieve your perfect red lip this season. Check out my SLIDESHOW to see just what I found in the Hive.

    Hive 5: Beads From Sui, Stella McCartney and More!

    Beads, beads and more beads, these delicate, intricate, and ornately patterned pieces will surely become family heirlooms. Today's Hive 5 not only brings drama to your accessories collection, but gossip as well! It seems that the Anna Sui bag that I've featured was not designed by Anna Sui! For someone known for her gusto in the creativity department it seems unfathomable that she would make an exact copy of a bag someone in her camp purchased from dorotheasclosetvintage.com (check out her website, maybe you'll find something from Anna's next collection...) but really, down to each and every bead that seems to be the case! Along with this controversial purse, I've selected an exquisite sequined bib necklace from Marni (perfect for the bohemian artist type), a BeaValdes necklace which is just the look for to fit this season's statement necklace criteria, and stunning evening bags from Matthew Williamson and Stella Mccartney. Explore my picks in the SLIDESHOW!

    With the upcoming November '08 presidential election, politically charged fashion is being taken to new levels. Diddy may have popularized campaign couture with his trendy 2004 "Vote or Die" line of tees, but fashion being used to make a personal or political statement is anything but new news. From the Civil War to the 1960's and 70's to now, fashion has played an important role in the expression of our political beliefs. So forget about bumper stickers (who wants anything plastered to their car after Election Day anyways!?). This fall, don't be afraid to make a statement - a fashion statement! From shoes, to jewelry, to tees and bags. There are a surprising number of campaign related items for every political party circulating the Hive! So check 'em out and also click on my slideshow for some of my fave political statement styles and items!
