Which Overpriced Kiddie Toy Is The Most Ridiculous?

Most parents these days will tell you that there isn't anything in the world they wouldn't do for their kids. Sometimes, these unconditional expressions enter the realm of gift-giving, and the high-end retailers know this better than anyone because I've seen more ridiculously overpriced children's gifts and toys this year than in any other. I don't even need to mention the current state of our economy to drive home my point that no child needs a crystal-encrusted piggy bank, a BMW Z4 Roadster, or a Swarovski tricycle, unless of course they're unnaturally motivated in their quest to appear on My Super Sweet Sixteen. I can't imagine a child even asking for one of these, but if they do, a word of advice- the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book? Not a bedtime story.

New York Fashion Week Runway: Rosa Cha Brings Sao Paulo To Bryant Park

One thing I always love about swimwear shows is the relaxed vibe - ignore the flashing lights and tons of crowds and you may as well be laying out on the beach. As for the looks that defined Rosa Cha Spring 2009, it was impossible not to take note of their structured nature, which is so unexpected for the swimwear category. Subtle pleats and folds added an air of elegance as designer Amir Slama's Brazilian roots took hold, resulting in the kind of devastatingly sexy pieces that ensure all eyes will be- and stay- on the wearer. The color palette was minimal, but just enough not to overwhelm Slama's true prowess-- details in design. Leather belts, metal rings, and a generous smattering of Swarovski crystal and mesh stripes were the icing on the optical white and vibrant green pieces, and deep v-necks and structured bandeaus ensured the looks were equally functional and flattering on or off the runways. Model Chanel Iman's wispy, floor-length overalls had an ethereal feel, another unexpected notion when it comes to swimwear, and for a brief moment the sound of the rain pounding on the tents outside became that of waves crashing on the shores of Sao Paulo. Click on the slideshow to see looks from the show, and then check out the Hive for our members' favorite Rosa Cha creations!

Do The Twist With Johnny Egg's Corkscrew-y Furniture

Sometimes style is best served straight-up, but sometimes it's better with a twist. Case in point: the new line of twisted furniture from Johnny Egg. Check out the three drawer twisted in black-- if the super shiny exterior doesn't draw you in, the pink contrast lining will. It's got enough swagger to make even the most bon-a-fide couch potato get up and give it a spin! For a less dramatic but equally stunning piece, check out the twisted little sister single drawer-- that black lacquer finish adds the rockstar vibe we're craving. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for a taste of the twisted, along with a few other goodies from the Johnny Egg line including a Swarovski coat hook!
