Hot In The Hive: Kate Spade "Hope Peace Cookies" Notecard Set

I work at my friend’s paper goods boutique where I sell unique greeting cards, journals, planners, and calendars by independent and local designers. So I’m always on the lookout for what’s new in the world of paper when I’m not obsessing over fashion

Susan Sarandon ‘Never Tried to Force’ Politics on Three Children
Jim Spellman/WireImage There’s a running joke around the dinner table each Thanksgiving at the home shared by actors Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins — how many minutes into the meal before politics are discussed!

Which Celebrity Tot Looked Cutest In Her Juicy Couture?
I have to admit, there are a few pieces that Juicy Couture comes out with each season that I do find cute and worth having, but overall, the Juicy style is not for me. It’s especially not for me when I do pick up that one dress that I actually find attractive and have a minor heart attack from the ridiculous price tag attached to the simple, knit garment in my hands. Juicy Couture tracksuits were and still are, one of their most popular and best selling items, but again, I cannot feel good about handing over that sum of money just to buy something to lounge around in.

Cookie Swap, Creative Treats to Share Throughout the Year
Come December, it’s hard not to think about cookies (especially since today is National Cookie Day).

Fashionistas Have Sweet Dreams in Vintage Lingerie
The term lingerie comes from the Old French linge , which referred to scandalous underclothes. Though the term was not in widespread use until the 1850s, the history of lingerie itself started centuries earlier, back in ancient Egypt around 3000 BC. And while the choice for men may center around something as simple as boxers or briefs, we women have so much more to consider: peignoirs, chemises, nighties, camisoles, slips, crinolines and teddies — both racy and demure

The 36-year-old actress filmed Up in the Air alongside George shortly after welcoming son Fynn , 10 ½ months, and notes in a new interview that “it takes a woman a good six or seven months to get in the groove after maternity.” Her own groove was fast-forwarded by the suave actor, however! Vera reveals, “There’s just sleepless nights, so lack of sleep takes a toll, so I didn’t always feel buttoned up and sexy and confident and comfortable in my skin
