    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!

    A gift certificate is a puzzling thing, especially when it's handed to you. Do you use it on something cheaper so you save money, or do you apply it to a larger purchase? Do you hang on to it until you find the perfect thing because it's "free" spending money, or do you spend it right away? So many questions! Last week, we introduced you to Creative Contrast, an online fashion retailer with a serious selection of accessories from Sir Alistair Rai, Tolani, Alexis Bittar, Kenneth Jay Lane, and many more. All you had to do to win a $100 gift certificate was tell us which item sold on the site was your favorite! Read on to find out if you won!

    This is really the era of self-expression and as long as it looks good and you have the attitude to rock it, anything goes! Skinny jeans and wide-leg trousers are both in style; tops with super long hems as well as cropped cardigans have both become fashion staples, and any bright color, funky pattern and unique silhouette is welcome! The same goes for accessories and this summer, really top off your look with a hat! Usually reserved for slightly cooler weather say, in the winter and fall, hats are really making a statement this summer. From floppy, wide-brim straw hats reminiscent of the Kentucky Derby to classic, sharp fedoras that add edgy attitude to a flirty dress, the wide array of coif-topping styles make it fun and easy to find a shape that works for you! So give your daily SPF moisturizer a little help and invest in a great summer hat to stay cool and stylish all season! I'd say "hats off" to great style, but you'll be wanting to keep them on in this case! Check out the slideshow for a variety of styles and prices to fit your look and budget.

    Hot In The Hive: Denise Julia Reytan TimePeaces

    Lists, schedules, appointments, deadlines, meetings, alarms... it's enough to make a girl go crazy! In this non-stop modern day world, even those who used to remind others to stop and smell the roses don't have time anymore! But, it is important to think of ourselves and stop for a moment and breathe. That extra 10 minutes in the morning for coffee, or walking through a local park during lunch hour, or even just shutting the door and getting lost in our own non-work related thoughts for a few moments everyday is the difference between stress and serenity. Jewelry designer Denise Julia Reytan decided that she would be one of those to remind us to not be such a slave to the clock, but to also do it in luxurious style! Her T1mepeace collection is available for June and comes in a variety of eye-catching and edgy metallics. They are gold or silver plated bracelets that resemble the appearance of a watch, but there's no actual time read-out. These T1mepeaces are aptly named and are here to remind us that sometimes, it's ok to just live in the moment and enjoy yourself right where you are. Make your peace with time and even though it stops for no man, you're free to take a moment for yourself. These "watch" bracelets are a beautiful statement piece, perfect for summer, and would look great with your colder weather wardrobe as well!


    Price: Contact Denise Julia Reytan at mail@reytan.de for prices!
    Who Found It: sofiabb was first to add the Denise Julia Reytan T1mePeace to the Hive.

    Top Off Your Look With A Boater Hat!

    Picture yourself in a boat on a river.... The Beatles may have had something there. We've seen the fedora come and go and the floppy sun hat loitering around, but the new shape in hats is... drumroll please... the boater hat. It's a classic silhouette, but the mini boater hat from Pixie Market was the first to re-catch our eye, now we can't stop spotting them on the style-set in the streets. We love this perfect straw boater hast with grosgrain ribbon from Brooks Brothers & suggest you give this new/old shape a try.

    A great belt is a fashion staple that will serve you well, whether it's to define your waist in a baggy dress or shirt or dress up an otherwise plain jeans and t-shirt combination. These are tough times, ladies, but I have found lots of cute, colorful belts to dress up your wardrobe, all for under $50! This gorgeous bouquet sash belt from J. Crew is just $35 and will spice up any outfit with floral flair! This Belgo Lux open weave belt strikes just the right notes of preppy and bohemian. Or for a hot pop of color, there's the Another Line covered snake textured belt from Nordstrom. Check out my slideshow for other belts that cinch the waist and not the wallet!
