Tell Time With Oversized Watches!

Ida Hsiang on Jun 29, 2009 2:25 PM PDT

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!

Fitness Gadgets To Expedite Your Exercise Routine!

Alex Gambardella on Jun 25, 2009 4:23 PM PDT

I consider myself pretty in-shape, relatively speaking. But just because I'm not huffing and puffing after two minutes on the elliptical or on the verge of a heart attack while jogging on the treadmill doesn't mean I have an easy time motivating myself to even get to the gym in the first place! Unless you have a ton of self-discipline, a particularly fitness-savvy gym buddy, or a ridiculously good-looking personal trainer, it can be tough to get excited about working out, no matter the level of your athleticism. And even if you try to work out outside of the gym to spice things up, it's easy to get fed up trying to keep track of your workout, time your jogs, and know offhand how many calories you've burned. Enter today's hottest workout gadgets, including sports bras with built-in heart rate monitors, calorie-counting GPS wristwatches, and iPhone bike mounts (because let's face it -- exercising just isn't worth it without some tunes to pump you up). There's no need to keep it old-fashioned with your fitness regime when technology's rapid advancements turn an activity you'd normally dread into... well, something almost fun! Take a look at the slideshow to see how you can technologize your training sessions!

Hot In The Hive: Denise Julia Reytan TimePeaces

Ida Hsiang on Jun 25, 2009 6:21 AM PDT

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.

Alex Gambardella on Jun 18, 2009 8:19 AM PDT

When it comes to gift shopping, I can dish out plenty of advice on picking out the right presents for every kind of recipient, but I'm definitely guilty of not following my own words of wisdom regarding planning ahead! If you're like me and often find yourself smacking your forehead in frustration upon realizing that you are yet again empty-handed just days before Father's Day, you will be relieved to know that not all hope is lost. While scoring that just-released gadget your dad has been eyeing or shipping in a thoughtful personalized present may be out of the question if you're looking to be prompt with your gift-giving, you might just be able to save yourself from being deemed your dad's least favorite or "the heartless forgetful one" by making a quick trip to your local Target or Walmart. From Father's Day themed candy gift boxes to men's accessory essentials like wallets and watches, these gifts may be impromptu and kind of corny, but at least you didn't put in zero effort. Check the slideshow for more last-minute Father's Day gifts, perfect for a guy who doesn't shop enough to know the difference!
