    Hot In The Hive: Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan

    It's a sad, sad day when you realize there's a chance you might be too old to go trick-or-treating. This realization either comes in the form of a too-high number of slammed doors during the previous year's Halloween activities, or a shift from fear of cavities to fear of calories. Eeek! Luckily there are still plenty of ways to make the most of your annual sugar rush and they don't involve dipping into the kids' stash (bad!) or going to town on the office candy bowl. This Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan turns an ordinary box of Halloween Funfetti cake mix into a haunted mansion (with the help of some sprinkles, gumdrops, and fondant), and is way more exciting than an endless influx of bite-sized Snickers bars. We know- it's not free like trick or treat candy is, and it's not exactly handed to you, but try to accept it as a part of growing up. Still feeling bitter? Be that person and hand out toothbrushes and sugar-free candy. Muahaha...


    Price: $36

    Hot In The Hive: Bodum Bistro Toaster

    I don't know if they're just too busy browning our bagels to perfection to be concerned with looks, but it seems exceedingly rare to find aesthetically pleasing toasters. It's even more unlikely that I'd spot a toaster I felt I just had to have based on cuteness alone! Until now, toasters seem to have been strictly business -- pop in your toast, grab it when it pops back out, get on with your day -- but the Bodum Bistro 2-slice Toaster isn't only functional... it's pretty darn spiffy too! With eight fun colors to choose from and a modern heat-resistant rubber exterior, it doesn't just look pretty, either! The adjustable-width slots can fit all sorts of slices (no more cramming or jamming your huge slabs of bread) and the pull-out crumb tray makes for easy clean-up. I think I already have about 4 free toasters from various other appliance purchases, but this one is just so cute, it might be worth the splurge!


    Price: $79.95

    Hive 5: Just My Cup Of Tea

    The idea of a formal tea party goes back to Victorian/Edwardian times, where the affluent would gather over rigid social conventions, conversations, corsets, and, of course, tea. It sounds very stuffy to me, and in all honesty I think these people just really needed a reason to dress up in all their finery and eat cake, and so there you have it. But then I got to thinking- who am I to judge? Swap the corsets for something cute and the cucumber sandwiches for cupcakes, and you have a pretty brilliant idea. And in today's world, where bakeries are often boutiques in their own right, the idea makes complete sense. Pass the sugar- and a pink Ladurée macaron, please- and see my slideshow for five tea party-perfect pieces.

    Searching high and low for this week's Fab Finds has me inspired to throw a little party... why, you ask? Well turns out, some of the deals I found are just as festive as they are fab. Adorable drink stirrers and a steal of an ice cream maker are definitely on my list, and at such low prices, I'll have more left over for what really counts... my outfit. And don't forget the rest of my finds, including more plush picks from Frette (how does 50% off sound?) and a pretty pretty piece from Kate Spade. Start shopping, because deals like these won't last long!
