    Make A Bold Statement With Colorblock Home Decor

    The colorblock craze is one that I like very much. There is nothing more sophisticated than that classic combo of black and white. Bright, solid hues matched with black or each other make for an eye-catching and fashionable ensemble. It's such an easy and appealing way to add interest and color, it's a wonder that it hasn't caught on in home decor as well. Be a trend-setter and apply this tried and true style statement to your home. You can choose a few of your favorite colors and use them in a number of accents. Throw pillows and rugs are an easy way to go and make boring rooms more colorful and energetic. Items like placemats and shower curtains are also fun and easy ways to spruce up your living space and give your home a harmonious theme without having to spend too much!

    Hot In The Hive: Witches' Kitchen Casserole Cauldron

    Double, double, toil and trouble! Concoct the perfect witches' brew (or a totally harmless casserole that's just frighteningly festive) this Halloween season with the Witches' Kitchen Casserole Bowl from Unica. The black ceramic bowl can also be used as a regular serving bowl (snacks, candy, spooky side dishes -- you name it!) and is part of a sustainable line of limited-edition goods produced from eco-friendly materials. Sure, it's a little costly, but it's not so garishly Halloween-ish that you'd be forced to hide it in the cupboard until next year. It's universally sleek and stylish for kitchenware, but with the right seasonal decor and the perfect pointed hat, it's potion-ready!


    Price: $360

    Hot In The Hive: Bin Bin Wastebasket

    They say beauty comes from within, so that's why we try to eat fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, and get a good night's sleep every night. So it's no wonder why our hair is naturally shiny, skin is glowing and eyes bright... right? Ok, maybe we could eat better to look better but that can wait after the frenzy of Fashion Week is over. In the meantime, I've decided to take a tiny break from all the fuss about the runway and thinking about my home instead. The Bin Bin Wastebasket is a perfect example of the inside contents looking like the outside! Like the crumpled rough drafts of your next Great American Novel or those pesky credit card bills, this wastebasket looks like a giant piece of crumpled paper. Put this in your office and everyone will know where to throw away the junk mail (instead of leaving it on your desk) or it could be a stylish umbrella catcher on a rainy day. The possibilities are endless with this unique design!


    Price: $54

    Transform Your Abode With Asian-Inspired Home Decor

    There are many times in my life where I would love to get away from it all and go to an exotic Asian country to enjoy the beautiful sights and delicious food. So when I looked online for plane tickets, the four figured price tag promptly stopped my plans for the whirlwind vacation. While I can't afford to transport myself to another country, I can certainly transform my home to at least reflect my imaginary travels! Seeing a well decorated home with Asian-inspired objects makes me think the the owner is sophisticated and well traveled so what's not to like about that? You can start out small like this pagoda wine bottle stopper from Saks Fifth Avenue for a bit of Asian flair whenever you're entertaining. If you're looking for a total room makeover, add a koi rug. Now you can sit back, light some incense, and imagine yourself into another world. Click my slideshow to see more Asian-inspired goodies you can get without a plane ticket!

    Summer most definitely means summer vacation! And although people are bag-obsessed, they seem to forget that luggage is as much an accessory as any handbag! But you don't need to have a private driver hauling your Louis Vuitton trunks around to say 'I travel in style,' because these fun suitcases have personality to spare. Adventurous colors, prints, and graphics make traveling more fun and fashionable. Vintage to ghetto blaster-inspired, these items are most definitely conversation pieces that anyone in any country can admire. Check out my SLIDESHOW so that you'll never be stuck at the airport carousel guessing which luggage is yours again!
