    Where can you find a vacay that combines the sand and surf of an island getaway, A-List-worthy nightlife for ultimate lounging, and all the modern luxuries that true foodies and shopaholics can't live without? Sydney, Australia, of course! Bondi Beach's hippest hotel and hot-spot, Ravesi's Hotel, is the ideal place to relax on the coast, indulge in the neighborhood's fine dining and boutiques, and explore the nearby culture with a quick cab ride to Sydney's central business district. Designed by abstract artist Dane van Bree, the hotel's guest rooms provide a modern spin on Aboriginal art and culture with its gold and metal palate and artwork, but with the getaway's gorgeous beach location, it's hard to keep yourself cooped up indoors! If the scenery isn't beautiful enough to fully tempt you, you're likely to bump elbows with local celebrities at the hotel's Drift Cocktail Lounge, which lures out locals and tourists alike. Check out the slideshow to see some photos of Ravesi's luxury accommodations -- I dare you to hold back from buying a one-way ticket straight to Sydney!

    Hot In The Hive: Zip-it Necklace

    A trend that I've noticed with considerable staying power over the last few seasons is the exposed zipper. Found on clothes, bags, and shoes, zippers have been found everywhere from Narciso Rodriguez to Alexander Wang. So it comes to no surprise when I found jewelry that's made of one of our most used fasteners. Inspired by people who talk too much, Australian design team Cynics created the Zip-it necklace which is made of a real zipper. Available in antique gold, antique silver or polished silver, you can adjust the length to hang freely or in a choker-like manner. The necklace definitely gives a versatile edge so you can wear this with your darkest and skinniest denim or with an feminine floral print dress. The next time someone can't stop talking, just point and let your zipper do all the work for you.


    Price: $60 AUD
    Who Found It: facadeindreams was the first to add the Zip-it necklace to the Hive.

    Ever wonder what things are like down under? As if you didn't already wish you were in the land of Oz, just one look at awesome Aussie designer Maurie and Eve's collection and you'll be ready to book your next vacation. This Australian label already has a pretty sweet history, having been inspired by the love of designer Kelly Davies' grandparents, but it's seen through by the camaraderie of family, (brother Scott) and like family, Maya Clemmensen (Scott's girlfriend). The clothes are definitely a far cry from any Crocodile Dundee undertones and are the ultimate in chic fashion. Each piece calls out its own bold character, as it's beach and bohemian-driven with a bit of an 80's edge. Their lovely pieces exude a free-spirited confidence that will have you greeting your friends with "G'day" and insisting that they call you Sheila. So, calling all trendy US style-lovers -- allow us to introduce you to a down under designer that's most definitely blossoming.
