Tell Time With Oversized Watches!

Ida Hsiang on июн 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!

Hot In The Hive: Denise Julia Reytan TimePeaces

Ida Hsiang on июн 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!

Time To Make A Statement With A Bold Neon Watch!

Alex Gambardella on апр 21, 2009 10:24 AM PDT

With 80s and 90s-inspired neon colors making comebacks all over the fashion spectrum, what youthful trend of yore would be more fun to welcome back than those funky florescent watches? I don't know about you, but back in elementary school I used to rock one of those faddish Baby-G watches every day like it was a diamond-crusted Rolex... and now even Lady Gaga has added her own neon yellow one as a staple to her very "fashion-forward" characteristic look in her latest music videos. Similar plastic and jelly-banded bright digitals (and analogs too) are popping up in both casual and high-end accessory lines, from sporty brands like Nixon and Adidas to designers like Michael Kors, and are appearing to be a hot color-popping trend for summer. Despite their silly hues and casual appearance, some are still pretty fancy and may be a bit on the pricey side if you're just looking to try out the bold look for a fun occasion or two, but others are both affordable and durable enough to take along to the beach and maybe even swim in! Check out the slideshow for some examples of the season's most vibrant watches!

Hot In The Hive: The Motorola AURA, A Luxury Watch-Inspired ...

Alex Gambardella on апр 3, 2009 5:21 AM PDT

Is your mobile service contract up and in your search for a new phone, you just can't bring yourself to buy into all the iPhone hype? Are you perhaps looking for something a bit more -- oh, I don't know -- stylish? Expensive?! Well, lucky for you, Motorola has just released the most exorbitant phone buy you'll be able to find! At a lavish $1,999.99, the Motorola AURA fuses the worlds of top-of-the-line technology and that of designer timepieces to bring you the first circular display mobile phone (a 62-carat sapphire crystal circular display at that!) to provide the luxury of fine jewelry with the crystal-clear yakking capabilities of a mobile phone. Does it have a full keyboard? No. Does it come with cool apps? No. Does it have a touch-screen? Of course not, but it is about as heavy as a brick (so you can literally "feel the richness," it says) so it can weigh down your pocket after it burns a hole in your wallet. Perf! Hopefully you still remember how to read an analog clock, 'cause this baby is already a whopper of a waste of money as it is!

Price: $1,999.99
Who Found It: shopchick was the first to add the Motorola AURA to the Hive.
