Enter To Win A Package From Rugby Ralph Lauren, TOMS, And FEED!

Forget boho-chic and boyfriend jeans- this season's hottest trend is all about giving, and giving back. Rugby Ralph Lauren has teamed up with TOMS shoes and FEED for a philanthropic initiative, MATCH RUGBY, aimed at bringing ideas and resources together to help organizations and individuals help the world, and we're giving all of you the chance to get in on the action and win a MATCH RUGBY package for yourself! The package includes one MATCH RUGBY shirt ($95), one pair of TOMS shoes ($58), and one FEED bag ($100), for a total retail value of $253. Money aside, it's a priceless endeavor- the purchase of each sustainable, organic cotton FEED bag provides a $50 donation to the FEED Foundation, which provides nutritious school meals to children in countries like Rwanda through the UN World Food Programme, in addition to raising awareness on the issue of child hunger. For each pair of TOMS for Rugby shoes sold, a pair will be donated to a child in a developing country. Finally, 50% of the purchase price from each MATCH RUGBY shirt sold goes directly to the MATCH RUGBY Fund.

Stylediarist Akinam Has Tomboy Chic Down To A Tee (And Jeans)

Once again I found myself scrolling through StyleDiary for fashion firsts and wardrobe wants, only to find another favorite StyleDiarist Akinam! She's hip and blond, so of course she's from Germany! What I love (read, envy) about Akinam's style is how she can transform from chic tomboy to floral femme without missing a step! Although her favorite colors are white, grey, and black, Akinam's looks span a wide spectrum, jeans and a soft T-shirt to a rather girlish frilly dress. I'm in awe over this leather jacket that Akinam pulls off so effortlessly. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I could squeeze this simple off-the-shoulder cotton top into my wardrobe closet--just a thought! Get ideas and inspiration for your closet in my SLIDESHOW of my favorite looks from Akinam's StyleDiary!

Hive 5: Kiddie Fashion Comebacks!

Warning: nostalgia-inducing fashion finds ahead! Recently I have been coming across some of my favorite primary-school styles right here in the Hive. Now these "kiddie" fashion finds aren't exactly duplicates of childhood faves - these old school styles have been re-born, modernized, and are now totally fashionable. For example, jellies. Who knew that these rainbow-colored summer staples could ever be the inspiration behind a chic pair of flats - perfect for fall. And remember those chunky and colorful Baby-G watches? Well, Toy Watch has an updated version - still colorful, just not so clunky. I even found your little brother's silly and cartoonish dinosaur t-shirt! This one's made feminine with a v-neck and pastel colors. So take a trip down memory lane and check out my SLIDESHOW to see my five favorite kiddie fashion comebacks. And be sure to search the Hive for even more!
