Four Timeless Summer 2024 Trends Worth the Investment
While trends don’t drive our purchasing decisions, I find that we consistently end up carrying items that are both on-trend and have the ability to be timeless. Here are four Summer 2024 trends that we think make a good wardrobe investment — for now and forever.
The Straw Sale
Since it’s officially summer and the Fourth of July is almost here we wanted to help everyone spruce up their summer accessories. Starting June 27, all straw accessories are 50 percent off! Shop online or in store at The Shoe Hive, check them out!
We’re All About White Denim
The one item that folks come in looking for the most from April through July is: white jeans. To help everyone out with this summer staple we are having a White Denim Sale, June 24 through June 30. All white denim will be 20 percent off online and in store.
Street Style: Meet Ashley Perkins
Ashley’s background has been in surgical medicine for the past 20 years. “I’m an artist, and even though I can’t draw, I can paint your face. I can see the angles of your face, that's what injectable medicine is. It’s not replacing plastic surgery, it’s supporting your face. It’s changing the way your face catches the light.”
What We’re Loving: Summer Nail Colors in a Seasonal Palette
While we've been cruising around Old Town – walking, shopping, attending openings – we’ve also been checking out each other’s nails. We asked our contributors to share the summer hues they’re loving; see if any of these shades work for you.
The Saul Pant: Our Favorite Cargo Styled 4 Ways
If you are in the market for a new black pant, these are your pants: not too dressy, and not too casual. They’re the perfect in-between and so comfortable. Wear them with a light linen shirt for work this summer, or a tank top and sandals for something more casual.
Happy Changes: Monday’s Child is Getting the Keys for 127 S. Fairfax Street
We are moving into one of Old Town's most iconic storefronts and I couldn't be more thrilled about the enhanced shopping experience that awaits you in our beautiful, expanded space.
Krewe Sunglasses: Which Style Works Best for Your Face Shape?
Krewe does a great job of breaking down different shapes for different faces. We wanted to share their expertise to maybe help edit your selection. Of course, we always think the best way to decide which pair to purchase is to try them on.
Luxury Pearls in Yellow Gold
One of our signature and most popular necklaces is the link chain, which provides a unique and stylish touch to any outfit. To elevate your look, you can add a one-of-a-kind pendant like this South Sea pearl with a diamond and sapphire.
The Shoe Hive Summer Sale: 50 Percent Off Now!
I’m sharing my favorite spring shoes since they are all marked down to 50 percent off. I mean, these shoes are the good stuff – made by master crafters in Italy!
Krewe: For the Sunglasses’ Girl
If any brand could cause me to have a sunglasses addiction, this is the one. Their shapes and color are like no other brand out there. They make custom acetate and in my opinion that is what makes them unique.
Big News: The Merger is Coming!
Since 2016, when The Hive opened its doors at 301 Cameron Street, I have consistently heard two statements - almost weekly - and they’re related: “I wish The Hive and The Shoe Hive were right next to each other.”
Of Things I Regret, I Wish I Had Worn More Sunscreen – And Hats!
I always say that my only regret in life is not studying abroad in college. But truth be told—it’s not wearing enough sunscreen. I wish I had lathered on the sunscreen as a child instead of opting for baby oil.
To Have & To Hold: Customizable Items For The Bride & Her Bridal Party
For a most special commemorative item, consider a custom lacquer clutch with your new name, initials, or perhaps his & hers crystal appliques. These clutches were inspired by the jewel box handbags of the 1950s, so beautiful they double as art when perched tabletop.
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.
Closing Yellow Jacket in Old Town
Over the week we have featured our favorite items from The Shoe Hive and The Hive. Now it’s Yellow Jacket's turn, and it is with great sadness that I have to announce that it isn’t just the start of the spring sale; it’s our Going Out Of Business Sale.

Madeline picked some of her favorite pieces that she can’t believe made it to markdowns, along with items that already found their way into her closet this spring. Check ‘em out!

The debut of AIP BESPOKE brings a quarterly suite of bespoke and custom experiences ranging from design-your-own accessories and hand-painted monogramming to made-to-measure tailoring and custom footwear from some of South America’s most elite polo boot makers.
Five Deals to Love at the Shoe Hive
This week we are kicking off our Summer Sale at all three locations: The Shoe Hive, The Hive and Yellow Jacket. I asked Madeline to share some of the items she was surprised didn’t sell – and share some of the pieces she purchased herself that we still have in stock.
From the Hair Accessory Aisle to the Red Carpet
When I was a little girl, if I was very well behaved in the drugstore, my mother would sometimes buy me a hair accessory. I should note that at the time my hair was so long that I could sit on it, so sparkly clips and scrunchies were like currency.
