Sometimes, a single website is worth its weight in trendy little gold clutches, and Stylehive.com is one such place. It is kind of a Facebook for style and fashion junkies of all stripes – from clothing to purses to makeup to home furnishings to artful décor and on and on. It features the web wanderings of its busy style-bees as they continue their never-ending search for the coolest new thing to buy or admire. If you want to check it out, you can look at the day’s most tagged, or most popular, items spotted on the web by the hive’s bees in lots of categories – from furniture to fashion. Yesterday, for example, folks tagging items in the fashion category liked a cute sequined tank dress by Abaete on sale at Bergdorf  Goodman (and it’s marked down to $248). In the Unique category, there was a bit of buzz about a cute little owl ring that’s for sale at ReVision Jewelry for $24.99. You can look at words of wisdom from the hive’s most popular members and what they (and their followers) are coveting today – like Lisanne816, who has more than 100 followers and yesterday was showing them all a zingy pair of mouse-faced Marc Jacobs slingback slip-ons that are $325.

Most of us know there are professional organizers: people who you pay to come and get rid of your clutter and organize your life. If you are a messy person, you may have wondered about the musings of such people. Perhaps you can glean some organizing insight from their words. You should, because they’ve designated January as “Get Organized” month. We’ve come across some blogs written by professional organizers. White Space is written by Cynthia Ivie, the owner of an organizing business. She started her business in ‘98 and now has 100s of clients and 7 professional organizers on staff, her website says. Her blog is nicely designed (of course) and offers thoughtful ideas on the advantages of time management and a simpler life. Jeri Dansky just began her career as a professional organizer, and on her blog she offers advice on an array of ways to store your Christmas ornaments, new and interesting staplers and 7 gentle alarm clocks. Living an Organized Life is a blog by professional Cyndi Seidler. Her blog has some interesting ideas, although at first glance it doesn’t give one a sense of her personal thoughts. This blog has some fun ideas in it, although you’d never guess it from the name: Professional Organizing - Custom Living Solutions. But author Joshua Zerkel has interesting tidbits about new products, chronically late people and references to other articles. Organized with Style is the name of both business and a blog. They offer whimsical posts, such as a suggestion to photograph all your Christmas decorations that you really liked this year, or to bring all your spare change to a Salvation Army kettle instead of your bank. An Organized Existence is written by Michelle Lynn Goodfellow, a organizing pro from Canada. Her site has a easy-going, casual feel to it, like this recent post about organizing piles of paper “and other stuff”. She has lots of wisdom under the category of “coaching” and answers the universal question we wonder about professional organizers: “Have you always been this way?” Her answer: “Yes. Eat your heart out.”
