Hot In The Hive: Moshi Voice Control Alarm Clock

Finally -- an alarm clock for the sleeper who really doesn't want to get up. Since my alarm isn't within arm's reach, I always have to physically haul myself out of bed every time I want to smack the snooze button! The techie braniacs at Moshi clearly had everyone's lazy-bum side in mind when they invented the Voice Control Alarm Clock. Now you can shut your alarm clock off (or set the time, or check the temperature, or even set your next alarm time) by simply telling it off -- with its trusty voice control technology. I'm kind of thinking this device is dangerous for those who sleep like the dead (or those who talk in their sleep), but it does sound awfully convenient for us anti-morning people!


Price: $24.99

Add Vintage Appeal To Your Look With A Pocket Watch Necklace!

One accessory of the past that I wish had never gone out of style is the pocket watch necklace, or pendant watch. There's something so refined and sophisticated about this vintage-inspired timepiece, dangling elegantly from a chain and worn as a necklace, or placed carefully inside a breast pocket. While watches can also be beautiful, a watch necklace is not only eye-catching, but unique and practical as well. Is there anything else you could ask for from a piece of jewelry? With the layered look still at the forefront of jewelry trends today, a pocket watch necklace frees up a wrist from an everyday watch and allows you to pile on a few more bangles and bracelets. Plus, a pocket watch necklace nestled amongst other chains and necklaces adds interest and texture, giving the wearer a look that's both vintage and modern.

Hot In The Hive: Telephone Cord Watch

What time is it? Time to get a new watch -- and possibly finally return some of those missed calls that have been piling up on your PDA. Unfortunately this "On The Other Line" Telephone Cord Watch from Uncommon Goods can't help you make phone calls, but it is a cute throwback to the pre-wireless world of long-distance communication. Made from recycled telephone cords and adorned with a vintage phone key, the timepiece is fun, functional, and artsy-chic. Plus, the stretchy cord eliminates the need for add-on links and resizing to suit your wrist. And you gotta admit, you kind of missed absent-mindedly twirling the cord around while you chit-chatted your way to an outrageous phone bill.

Hot In The Hive: World Time Clock

While I've been living in the same place for over a year now, I've left many good friends scattered across time zones around the world. That means I really have to make sure I know what time it is before I call them to catch up. (Remember, no one likes to be woken up at 5 a.m.!) That being said, it's not very practical or space effective to have a clock for every time zone on my wall. If you're a frequent traveler, then I imagine you're always turning the dials on your clocks and watches whenever you land in a new place. That being said, the Museum of Modern Art store has the perfect solution. The World Time Clock features 12 sides listing 24 major cities around the world. The 24 cities also represent the 24 world time zones. Just face the city you want upwards and you've got the time! Now if only there was something that could cure jet lag...


Price: $66.60 - $74

Tell Time With Oversized Watches!

Every year, "oversized" gets its 15 minutes of fashion fame. First there was big, over-sized, over-teased hair. We have seen over-sized pants and for both men and women, as well as over-sized outerwear and over-sized jewelry. More recently, we have seen over-sized sunglasses that make women look like one of their parents may have been a fly, as well as over-sized totes and handbags that could double as a studio apartment. The next must-have, over-sized accessory is definitely the watch. Huge watches are popping up everywhere from the dainty wrists of society's finest to edgy hipsters. The styles vary from simple and streamlined to adorned and flashy and everything in between. They are a great substitute for a bracelet or piece of statement jewelry and you can have multiple styles to go with multiple outfits! This is a great look for both men and women and would make a great gift as a matching set. Watches are a "must" part of an interview outfit and now you are able to show that your are responsible, reliable and fashionable! Have it be one of many eye-catching components to an ensemble, or punch up a classic look with this extreme accessory. Check out the slideshow for some favorite over-sized watch designs and find one that you'd like to spend time with!

Fresh Planners for the New Year!

Maybe I'm a huge nerd, but I think there's nothing more satisfying than starting a fresh planner come January. It might actually be my favorite part of the New Year (besides champagne and party dresses, of course). I'm a sort of devotee, so I'll be picking up this metallic aqua desk diary again this year. If you're not in such a long-term paper products relationship, I also love the Kate Spade canvas anne pocket organizer, which begs the question: can Kate Spade do any wrong? Check out my SLIDESHOW for lots of planners to time-manage in the New Year!
