Elizabeth’s Top Five Pre-Fall Picks From the Hive

It’s not even officially summer so I feel a little bad about sharing this lookbook since we call it the “Pre-Fall” delivery. The items on these pages are not very fall-like until you get to the end of the book; they really have more of a summertime feel. But you will start to see some sweaters and heavier fabric as you flip further. So for that, I apologize.

Since we started unpacking so many of these shipments, some of the Tibi has already come and gone. So we decided we had to share all these great new arrivals with our Stylebook readers while we have them! There are so many great true summer pieces. We have a huge Xirena order that should arrive right when this piece runs. And I’m really excited about all the white sets from Anine Bing. I am a shorts girl, so they’re right up my alley.

Of course, the true pre-fall is what I’m most excited about. I am not a warm weather fan. I suffer through the hot months. Even as a child I would pick out my back-to-school outfit months before the first day–and then sweat all day in the Ohio heat in August in corduroy shorts, argyle knee socks and a sweater. I’ve always wanted autumn to arrive months before it actually does.

It’s possible it will be 100 degrees out when the Hunter Bell silver skirt arrives, but I am going to wear it anyway. Silver has been big this year and this skirt is superior to what I have seen anywhere else.

I have shared my top five picks for these deliveries, and if you know me, of course I got 5 of the Tibi pieces alone. I love the transition deliveries. I feel like most of these items can transition from season to season. Stop in to The Hive and Shoe Hive and see our newest arrivals and shop our Spring Sale.

Owner | The Hive, The Shoe Hive, and Yellow Jacket

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
