Video Style Steal: We're Nostalgic ...
Ever since we caught a glimpse of the Grammy get-up that Britney Spears unwisely chose to wear this year (if you haven't seen it, you've officially been warned), we at the Hive have been really missing Brit's good ol' days. We're talkin' Britney circa 2001 -- you know, "I'm A Slave 4 U," her movie debut in Crossroads, and the wise-beyond-her-years "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman." In fact, speaking of that particular video, while watching it we can't help but think that she had way more fashion sense ten years ago than she did now, even by today's standards. I mean, swap those 70's-style flares for a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and trade her crop top for one that's... well, not cropped, and she's practically wearing an outfit straight out of the latest Free People catalogue. And wait -- are those desert boots she's wearing under those humongous bell bottoms?! Dear far-more-stylish-Britney-of-the-past: if you're still in there somewhere, come back and save yourself before you do something else drastic like wear another see-through lace dress in public. Anyway, while we're waiting for that futile message to be delivered, watch the video for a fun Britney flashback, then take a look at the slideshow for current pieces that pay homage to vintage Britney!

Hive Video: Become an Urban Princess ...
What do you get when you mix a wearable dosage of femininity, playfulness, and flattering cuts? Why, Madison Marcus of course. Madison Marcus is designed by New York based Jessica Sturman, who preceding her women's clothing line worked in and array of fashion houses. Just two years old as of this August, Madison Marcus has become an established fashion force in record time. Lucky Magazine introduced the line as, "A great, wearable mix of feminine pieces with quiet sex appeal." -- and really isn't that what makes up the perfect garment?! Each piece is easy to wear, day or night, and can be dressed up or down. I own a flutter sleeved black dress with a cutout neckline and I can proudly say that it is my absolute favorite, hands down. Still don't think you need Madison Marcus in your life? Check out the video where LX.TV chats with the designers and checks out some of their favorite pieces!
