Joes Jeans- The perfect fit

With the thousands of Designer jeans out there in the world- it's really hard to pick a favorite. Then again- I have a favorite - Joes Jeans. The fit is amazing, they are extremely soft, long lasting and the price is a bit lower than most. I myself gravitate towards the Provocateur fit. Now I'm 5'4 - clearly no fit model BUT, no need to hem! Makes me feel just a little bit taller.
We at Queen Bee actually just got in a new shipment, and I could not be more satisfied. Check em out! I guarantee you'll find your favorite fit out of the many styles and stick to it.

NuBras just got EVEN better

Anyone who owns a NuBra can vouch that it changes lives (in the wardrobe department of course). I couldn't agree more- What's better than a Bra you can wear with anything-backless, strapless etc- that actually gives you a rack when you have little to work with? Simply stick on one cup, stick on the other, push together and clasp- BAM! ...cleavage. So, I don't know why they never thought of this before but NuBra has JUST come out with a Push Up Seamless. I for one am super pumped. Tell your friends- they will thank you.

Old skool do- new skool trend

The process of braiding has been around for ages, and seems to be making quite a comeback. We've seen celebs sporting their lush locks wrapped up in different styles. Whatever style you prefer- fishtail, crown, or just a simple french- this summer you're sure to inspire others with this simple yet elegant trend.

Harem Pants- Love them or Hate them?

It seems that most people hate the new McHammer-esuqe Harem pant trend. Me- I'm a little on the fence about them. This particular example really just makes me think of a grown-up diaper. But I have seen ones that can work, and many of the major designers have also jumped on board- DVF, YSL, Ralph Lauren among others. While living in Florence years ago I saw this trend on many of the Europeans which then slowly crossed the Atlantic over to the US around 2008, and still growing slowly- Spring and Summer 09 were big season's for the interesting trend. I don't think they've hit their max just yet- so can plan on watching the trend blossom and change. My advice- get the higher crotch that has more volume and slowly narrows to the bottom. The length should hit mid calf- and make sure to pair with some killer heels. Be bold!

Lady Gaga, What are you doing?

You have to give Lady gaga props for her unique and risky fashion choices, but this is just utterly ridiculous. There's a point when bold fashion moves just go too far. Maybe she has a pimple? Maybe she had a bad botox batch? Whatever the case may be, leave the scary dominatrix mask at home. Ok, Lady Gaga we get it, you're kinky.... after this charade, I'm left with a sour taste, from her "saving face"

This economy is bad for retailers but good for consumers. This summer, stores are going on sale much sooner then usual. Make sure to check your local stores and score designer Summer threads for much less! There's still months left of Summer (as most of us are hoping in the New England area-what is UP with this weather?)- so you can buy it now at a bargain and wear it now!

At Queen Bee save on Summer cocktail dresses, shorts, and tops from Milly, Shoshanna, DVF, and more!

Resort 2010: To buy or Not to buy....

It's no secret that resort travel has dwindled. Due to the current economic trends many canceled their yearly trips for 2009- therefor had no need for resort wear. You can still see the remains in many stores who are STILL stuck with inventory from January. Tis the season for buyers to begin looking at resort 2010 lookbooks and linesheets, but the question is- to buy or not to buy. Ticket prices, and hotel rates have significantly decreased attempting to lure those high end travelers once again.
2010 resort season does not look like it will be the same as 3 or 4 seasons prior, but the good news is that it can't be as bad as it was in 2009. SO- the possible solution to the buyers dilema is buy small, and buy safe.

We have seen the tulip style dress in multiple colors this season from Shoshanna- and it is working for just about everyone! It has been extremely popular- especially in the fuschia color. If you can't get your hands on one this season- not to worry. The style is carrying over into winter and Holiday as well. Go Shoshanna!

Cannes Fashion

I particularly like the Cannes Fashion from this year. It was very simple, yet glam. The festival just seems much more fun and laid back than most celebrity events.
I particularly liked this look on model Devon Aoki. The color is amazing on her and she paired it well with a sparkling necklace and a simple bun.
On a side note- can someone PLEASE tell me what Paris was doing at the festival?? OHHHH wait I know, her "Paris, not France" made for MTV movie- sorry my fault :p

New Favorite Trend~ Bright Nails

We've been seeing celebs sporting some crazy polish- and I have to say I just LOVE the trend. It's something so small, but it really goes a long way! When I sport the bright nails, I always get comments. I plan to be stocked up on some OPI this Summer to add a touch of color to every ensemble.

New Summer Splendid

I have to say that I am in LOVE with all of the new Summer Splendid~ I am all about basics! They're just so extremely easy to wear, comfortable, and they go with EVERYTHING. I especially love this lightweight, cotton gauze tank we just got in. I can just see it paired with some cutie white shorts and some FIERCE gladiators. Way to go Splendid!

Eco-Friendly Fashion

These days, it seems the world's geniuses are coming up with new ideas and technology to help save Mama Earth: electric cars, scooters, solar/wind energy and even fashion! Green or Eco-Friendly fashion has come a LONG way since the hemp trends that most fashionista's would not be caught dead in.
What does Eco-friendly fashion mean anyways? It can mean a whole boatload of things, but the big ones seem to be animal friendly, natural fabric that's free from chemicals and dies, and pesticide free raw materials. I think in the future we will see more and more well known designers doing their part and start incorporating some more greens in their fashion salad.

Shopping Moods

What effects your shopping habits? For me, I just have this constant urge to buy something new. Once I get this feeling I let it stew for a little to see if it's real- and I know it's time when I hate EVERYTHING in my closet, and then fantasize about a certain item I saw in a boutique window that one day after coffee. The different seasons can also effect my habit. In Boston at the moment, it's still way too cold to buy all the fun, brightly colored merchandise in the windows.
But I'm curious to see if this is the norm or there are other factors out there. Let's here yours!

My New Obsession: Miracle Hair Product

So my new rockstar stylist introduced this amazing product to me, and I can't believe I went through life without it. It's a finishing product by Aquage - Beyond Shine. Just a little spray after you blowdry will turn your hair extra shiny and help manage those loose fly-a-ways and unruly textured locks. I feel like it's the answer to the question "how did Jennifer Aniston's hair look so perfect on Friends?" I also use it before I blow dry to protect my hair and style it the way I want. It's extremely light and doesn't weigh your hair down which is important for ladies with thin hair like myself. It's around $12 a can and it lasts forever!

It's perfect for a day or a night out in the city!

Do It Yourself: Destroying

Destroyed denim only disappeared for a short while- but it's back in full force. Many celebs have been spotted wearing their brand new, already destroyed denim. For those of you who refuse to pay top dollar for denim that already looks overworn- this tip is for you. All you need is some bleach, a dremel, a metal cheese grater and some scissors. Bleach works well to break down and discolor the fabric. Let it sit for an hour or two. You can also dribble it to make spots. Wash and dry before you begin to shred and tear. Put some shoes in the dryer as well to beat the fabric a little more. Go at the jeans with the dremel, grater and scissors to get the look you want. Paint can also be a fun touch- just make sure you don't wash it with anything else for the first few times. When you're done, you'll feel accomplished and smarter than those who paid over$200. Take that, Abercrombie!
