Stylehiver TheShoeFairy Brings Universal Fashion To D.C.!

Washington, D.C. has had a bad reputation for not being very fashion-forward, but today's featured Hiver, theshoefairy, is a happy exception to that rule. While she may hail from D.C., her style sense is truly universal. I can imagine her saves being worn on the docks of Cape Cod or in the streets of Tokyo. Take a look, her name says it all! Expect some amazing shoes like this handmade pair crafted out of vintage kimono fabric, as well as boho-chic dresses and accessories. What are you waiting for? Check out some of theshoefairy's saves in my SLIDESHOW and start following her today!

But the leaves aren't the only things changing colors- it's time for your closet to also make that all-important transition too!

Death of Trends: Why I Told the JC Report That YOU Are the Future of Fashion

If you don't read the JC Report, you should. It's one of the best running online commentaries on emerging fashion culture. I was recently interviewed for their 3-part series called "The Death of Trends." The subject of the series is basically what Stylehive is all about - the revolutionary movement of fashion from the few (glossy magazines, diva editors, copycat designers) to the many, meaning - you! JC Report calls the myriad ways people are now choosing to express themselves "micro trends," as opposed to the "macro" fashion trends of old, like grunge and heroin chic, that would dominate runways and closets for seasons on end. Check out their fascinating series, and tell me in Comments what you thought of my comments. And if you have any of your own to add, and I'll pass them on to the writer. Cheers!

Hive Q&A: Project Runway Castoff Doesn't Play The Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda Game!

On last week's episode of Project Runway, the designers created cocktail dresses with their models as clients. This week, the party continued as the designers were challenged to construct outfits for a night out on the town using the city of New York as their muse. The contestants were broken up into four groups and dropped off in different parts of the city. With digital cameras in tow and the city at their fingertips, the groups snapped away and frantically searched for the perfect source of inspiration to draw upon to capture the essence of this wildly eclectic city. As is usually the case, some thrived and attained the ever-so-elusive WOW-factor, while others floundered, making it almost impossible to predict who would take the win and who would be out. However, someone had to go and I just spoke to the latest bootee to get the scoop on what REALLY happened. Click READ MORE to find out.

6 Weeks to Sexy: Turning My Philip Seymour Hoffman Body Into Sting's

Everyone tells me I look like Philip Seymour Hoffman. Which is fine, he's cool. But I want to look like Sting, circa 1982. So who do I go to for a total body transformation? The husband-and-wife personal trainer team who own High Performance. They fell in love in boxing class. Need I say more? Here's the catch. They've only got six weeks to get my pudgy ass into rock star shape. Because in six weeks, New York Fashion Week starts. And this season, I will not be the fattest dude at the tents. So READ MORE for more about my trainers Elizabeth and Clay (like the fact he trained Matt Damon), click the SLIDESHOW for pics of my humiliating Week 1, and watch a quick VIDEO for a snippet of me struggling to use my stomach for something other than luring nachos to their death.

Stylehiver Spotlight: Her Hive Is Like Walking Through a Guggenheim of Style!

Modern, sophisticated and utterly chic, Stylehiver Ximenarm's picks look cut and pasted from the New York or Paris society pages. Couture ball gowns, sequined Studio 54-style cocktail dresses, thick bangle jewelry and modern museum-worthy housewares are just just some of the items that make her Hive feel like a curated show! And when it comes to fashion, Ximenarm seems relatively unaffected by the summer season and its corresponding trends. While others bookmark delicate pastel prints, open-toe flats and cotton sundresses, Ximenarm stays cosmopolitan cool with structured shift dresses in bold patterns and ultra high-end gladiator heels. Her urban-chic style has definitely got me hooked! Check out my Slideshow to see 5 favorite looks from today's featured Stylehiver!
