There is nothing more stylish or fashionable right now than going green! It's THE color of the season (and every season after!). Whether you're wearing an organic cotton tee, re-doing your bedroom floors with reclaimed wood or bringing your own reuseable totes to Trader Joe's, going green is the way to go! Eco-conscious companies are popping up all over the map from NYC to LA and across the globe. One of these companies just so happens to be at the top of our favorite list here at the Hive. RuMe is a fair trade manufacturing company that produces reuseable bags.
RuMe stands for ReUseMe. The company started as a reaction to the growing concern about the detrimental effects that plastic bags have on our planet and believes that now, more than ever, there is a serious need for consumers to take the responsibility of environment protection into their own hands. RuMe bags offer a simple and affordable solution for consumers who are looking to be eco conscious by using less and reusing more. Their bags are considered to be high quality as well as both stylish and affordable. Two of our very favorite features. Better yet, they are designed and packaged following a no-waste philosophy.
Currently, we are totally obsessed with the RumeCuff, their newest invention. Imagine this ... you're headed out for a bike ride with your honey. He's got nothing but his bike, but you're still scrambling to find something to hold your keys and a couple of dollars for a post-ride cappuccino. You do NOT want to carry your purse, but what? RuMe has got the answer for you! The new RuMe Cuff. Designed as a reusable cuff for a coffee cup, it also includes a useful pocket that functions as an armband wallet.
Now you can kill two birds with one stone. A place to put your cash and your coffee and saving the planet in the meantime!
Where To Buy - RuMe
Price - $9.95
Who - MeliMeli was the first to add the 'RuMe Cuff' to the Hive.
Hide From The Rain In A Hoodie!

Unless you live in the United States Of Perfect, there will always be that day sans sunshine. Clouds and raindrops, however, shouldn't cramp your style by forcing you to either sacrifice your morning coffee as you walk outdoors carrying an umbrella, or your at-long-last perfect hair poof by wearing a hat. Instead, beat the weather blues by slinging on the ever-comfortable hoodie
. Hoodies are great for sheltering a bit of chill, and certainly perfect for protecting your head from a mop of wet hair. Strings or no strings, zips or no zips, pockets or no pockets -- they may just be the most versatile form of buffer between you and inclement weather! With as many shapes, cuts and crops to choose from, there are just as many price points to find the layer that works for you. The beachy California surf style is always fresh, and there are plenty of options if you're anti vintage-varsity-lettering as well. Go ahead, spring: that drizzle's not going to frizzle us under these hoods. Besides -- the best days for shopping are the rainy ones anyway!
