Pamela Love is a genius. Her jewelry designs incorporate tribal and native traditions from across the globe into contemporary shapes and styles. For her Spring 2011 collection, she sourced materials and design from India and Africa creating an inspiring and ethereal collection that we absolutely die for.
While many Pamela Love pieces are need to be reserved for major splurges, this wonderful Howlite Skull necklace is beautiful and a conversation starter that’s affordable! We obssesed with the Dia De Los Muertos inspired artwork.
This necklace comes in three colors - white, black, and turquoise (yum times a million and this color has a sterling silver chain instead of bronze).
And at $70 it’s a Pamela Love steal! Show this necklace off with a lowcut shirt or flowing dress for the summer. Layer them for a truly stunning look!

Now that the season has changed from cold, somber winter, to bright, breezy spring, it’s also time to change up our manicures!
Ditch the navy blues and save the dark plums for next winter. This season is all about the neutral or bright nail!
If you’re the type to wear a lot of colors, try out a beige or taupe tone to balance everything out. Or if you’re all about the nudes and neutrals when it comes to getting dressed, add a spark of pep and brightness by trying a fun, saturated hue!
Here are the five must-have spring nail colors that you just have to try!
Beige/ Greige/ Taupe - It’s clean, it’s classic. A beige or taupe tone on nails elongates fingers and are versatile enough to go from day to night, jeans to dresses!
White - A stark white really pops, especially when worn with a tan! This color works best on shorter nails and it’s bright, clean color is perfect for the sunny days ahead. White does stain easily, though, so apply a fresh coat every couple of days.
Bright Orange - This pop color is definitely the ‘it’ color of the season! It’s popping up from purses to blazers, but if you’re not ready to take the color full on yet, try it in a manicure. It adds just the right amount of color and goes perfectly with the color clash look spring, as well as compliments neutral tones perfectly!
Dove Grey/ Lavender - It’s a soft tone with a sopisticated feel. Dove grey is a surprisingly versatile color while a touch more of purple in lavender hues makes for a more feminine appeal. Keep it shiny for full effect and apply a new top coat every couple of days!
Bright Cobalt - Need something with a little more pizazz? A bright blue is trendy and seasonal and is a great way to add color. Such a daring color makes a statement all on it’s own, making it a cool color that goes with almost anything!
We’ve been impatiently waiting for Spring to finally make it’s appearance and save us from the chilly, blustery days of Winter. And now that it’s here, we can’t wait to try out all the new trends for the season!
From bright colors to neutral palettes, longer hems, the return of the trouser and the military inspired trend still in full effect, there’s no end to the cute ensembles! However, for many of us, majority of our days are spent at our desk or in the office.
Just because you’re stuck indoors doesn’t mean you can’t show off your style chops at the work place! And you can find great Spring ready work pieces for an affordable price so get multiple pieces to mix and match and wow your colleagues from Monday to Friday!

As a working gal with a nonstop schedule, I rarely have time to feed myself, let alone find ways to relax and unwind. Sure, I find time to sneak in the occasional 3 PM coffee break (if I didn’t, I’d likely crash right at my desk), but how the English consistently make time for traditional afternoon tea is beyond me!
Luckily you can channel the British’s genius winding-down ritual and get a similar peace of mind, no matter how packed your to-do list is, with a tea-time inspired fragrance from Jo Malone.
The brand’s new Tea Blend Fragrances feature 5 distinct scents - Assam & Grapefruit, Earl Grey & Cucumber, Sweet Milk, Sweet Lemon, and Fresh Mint Leaf - all designed to channel that refreshing, calming, and invigorating feeling that accompanies the tradition where everything stops for tea.
These scents may not help you physically escape your endless meetings and presentations, but I’ll embrace any fragrance that will help give me that much-needed daily pick-me-up and help me smell pretty in the process!

What if we told you that you could save money by keeping a pet elephant? That would just sound a little bit cray-cray, right? But the truth is ... you can - with this great home accessory!
It’s an elephant bank. Not to be confused with a piggy bank. And whether you actually want to store your coins in it or not, it looks darling and sweet sitting on your desk, a shelf or next to your television.
Plus, you have to appreciate that it’s wood-carved, hand-painted, and it’s much larger than it looks in the picture. Not to mention, it has felt on the feet to protect the surface it sits on.
So go on ... give in to your need to save by buying this lovely elephant. We’ll call her Sally.

Just because it’s a recession doesn’t mean you can’t get a cool manicure. Forget going to the salon for an expensive airbrushed design and hit up the drugstore for a find that will send shock waves down to your fingers tips!
All the typing we do here at StyleHive takes a toll on our nails, so we took a break to freshen up our fingers with some crazy cool designs!
Whether you’re feeling French or seeing stars, these are just a few new takes on a simple manicure.
What you’ll need
- 2 nail art pens - colors of your choice
- Base coat - color of your choice (we used white!)
- Clear top coat
Step 1 - Apply your colored base coat. This will be the background color for your nail design. Let dry.
Step 2 -Use your nail pens to apply the design of your choice.
For polka dots, simply draw circles all over your nails using the colored nail pen.
For a French manicure, use the pen to easily mark a thick line across the top of your nails.

It’s bright, it’s colorful, it’s printed and it’s classic Matthew Williamson.
However, this Matthew Williamson, officially labeled ‘Matthew Williamson for Impulse, Only at Macy’s’, is priced hundreds, even thousands of dollars below his signature collection.
The limited-edition collection of short dresses, maxi dresses, outerwear pieces, rompers, shorts and blouses ranges in price from $50 to $120, with the suede and leather pieces priced slightly higher. This collection, which hits 225 Macy’s stores on April 13, was previewed on Tuesday evening at a presentation at the Mondrian Hotel in New York’s SoHo, but the designer, sadly, was not in attendance.
‘He has whimsy and fantasy and integrity of design’, Nicole Fischelis, Macy’s group vice president and fashion director, told StyleList. ‘I have been a fan of his work from the beginning and he has been extremely consistent.’
She added - ‘His unique color and print sensibility, his bohemian sensibility and attitude - there’s something very youthful at the same time totally sophisticated. It’s totally for right the contemporary Impulse customer.’

Who said that blondes have more fun? We’ve got three brunette hotties and we’re asking you who you think rocked their look the best!
Is it Jennifer Hudson (and her incredible shrinking body) in a skin tight mini with a crazy abstract print? We love the platform stilettos and stacked bangles that she matched with it and the fuschia lips give a pop of color!
Maybe you’ll vote for Hilary Duff who traded in her golden locks and joined the dark-side recently. We love how she paired super trendy taupe pumps with a casual plaid top. Leather-look leggings add an edgy appeal!
Perhaps you’re digging Katie Holmes’ look the most with her classic black and white combo of a sleek blazer and slim cropped pants. We love that the polka-dot pumps add a youthful and energetic vibe!

Enough is never enough ... - Elizabeth Taylor
She was one of the most beautiful women in the world with smoldering sex appeal and sultry natural beauty.
Elizabeth Taylor’s glamorous take on fashion both on the silver screen and off has influenced many women throughout generations. Never shy about showcasing her curves or to be dripping in diamonds and daring enough to don bold print and colors, Elizabeth Taylor was an expert in wearing clothes and standing out and we applaud her for starting and setting trends and giving women iconic and classic looks to follow throughout the years.
Here is a celebration of Elizabeth Taylor and her style evolution. Click on the slideshow!

You’re the kind of girl who eats healthy, does yoga and volunteers during beach clean-up days because you care about the environment.

Being socially aware is your lifestyle … being health conscious is the chicest thing about you.

Now that the days are longer and the sun is shining brighter, we’re shedding our cold weather layers! Another thing to shed? Pasty skin! Now that Spring is here, that means we’ll be showing a lot more skin and who wants to flaunt pale legs and shoulders that haven’t seen the light of day in months?
Maybe it’s still a little too chilly to go sunbathing by the pool, or perhaps you just don’t have the time in your busy schedule and it’s no secret that tanning beds just aren’t good for you. But we still want that warm, sexy glow now! Luckily for us, self tanners are everywhere these days and we’ve narrowed it down to our top five self-tanner picks that we’ve tried and loved. Check out why then click the slideshow!
Jergens - Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer: When it comes to drugstore brands, this is one of the originals and the best. At less than $9.00 for 4oz., the price is right and the express version delivers! Get believable, even color in just three days! The only down side? We’re sold on the price and color, but there is the tell-tale self tanner scent.
Clarins - ‘Delectable’ Self Tanning Mousse: Color applies evenly and appears after only a few uses and gives a warm, sexy glow! It dries very quickly with minimal tell-tale self tanner scent and with the addition of Mirabelle oil, it leaves skin soft and smooth, making it a great 3-in-1 product of self tanner, skin moisturizer and sun care lotion!
Victoria’s Secret - Sunkissed Bronze Instant Self Tan Lotion: Instant color! We watched ourselves turn into bronze goddesses before our very eyes! Plus, the color lasts and at only $12.00 for 6oz, we’re loving the price! The one down side? It takes a little longer to dry than the 5 minutes is claims so make sure you have a little extra time before getting dressed.
St. Tropez - Tanning Essentials Self Tan Bronzing Lotion: With a silky feel and light floral scent, this self tanner feels more like a nice body lotion than a self tanner! It builds believable color quickly and dries quickly. The down side? The color doesn’t seem to last longer than a couple days so stock up!
Jane Iredale - Tantasia Self Tanner: It smells like grapefruits and goes on smoothly and streak free. You see a slightly more bronze tone within the first application and builds gradually and believably. The color lasts a long time too and is great for sensitive skin!
