We heard New York loves Urbanears.

Mar 1, 2010 8:45:52 AM

We were mighty flattered when a New York Moxsie fan spotted our Urbanears in New York Daily News. And here's proof!

It's not difficult to understand why the headphones have been such a big hit. Yes, they're a part of the larger retro movement, but the colors play a big element to their appeal. And did you know about all the cool features Urbanears come with? From the Wired Gadget Lab:

The stylish headphones have a microphone and inline remote that will control or at least let you talk to most phones, including the iPhone. They also have something I’ve never seen before: a headphone jack socket high up on one earpiece, so you can let a friend jack-in and share your tunes, or listen as you watch a movie together. They also fold flat (ish) so, unlike the Panasonics, they’re actually good to travel with.

Urbanears and Antenna

Moxsie Urbanears Plattan Salad Refinery 29

URBANEARS UP ON TOP

Urbanears must be smiling (Brace yourself.) from ear-to-ear with all the praise they've been getting recently. Refinery 29 is just one of many newfound Urbanear fans:

The Plattan style from Urbanears is everything we've been looking for: great sound quality, a non-ear-squishing shape, and that old-school "keyboard unit in music class" look with wire adjusters and a lanyard cord (no super-tangly, plastic noodles for you!).

They swear their morning commute sounds "ever sweeter through them." You can get a listen to what's streaming through R29's airwaves here.

Ear Candy

Feb 19, 2010 9:38:27 PM

Sometimes it's a shame when one of the most exposed parts of the body is left bare. Doth the ear not deserve accessories? Are not earrings flattering accoutrements for almost any face shape? Do we not understand the value of beautiful sound? Of purposeful sound?

Okay, so we just waxed way poetic for a loose theme from last week: Things That Make Your Ears Happy. We received new shipments and refilled stock that many of you have been waiting for for months. Take a look, or lend us an ear!

Moxsie Urbanears Plattan Black headphonesURBANEARS - Back in stock!

Definitely one of our quickest-selling gadgets and probably one of the easiest things to gift. Our Urbanears are back in stock in every color - plus black!

If you're hard-pressed trying to justify another pair of headphones, we like to reason that cup-style headphones warm up your ears. Plus there's the whole earbuds-are-bad-for-you debate. So either you're properly preparing for awaiting the subway in winter, or you're taking preventative measures to protect your hearing for the future. Either way, you win.

That leaves us with the question, "What color?"

Moxsie Nanda Home Gauri Nanda Clocky almond alarm clock

 

NANDA HOME - Your new best frienemy!

Many of us find it hard to wake up and get out of bed in the morning. You know why? Because it is.

It's hard to get out of bed, particulary when you're cozy, there's a threat of blustery weather outside, or you just don't feel like taking on Monday.

You know what would make this all better, though? Having a wake-up buddy. Like a gym buddy, except they make you emerge from your sheets and they smile while they don't take no for an answer.

Meet Clocky, Gauri Nanda's wake-up buddy! We just got Clocky two weeks ago, and they're already selling out. Take note of these little friends - or don't. If you try to ignore Clocky and snooze his alarm, he rolls off your nightstand and swiftly out of reach. You'll just have to get up and find him from there.

But still, at least it's a friend beeping you awake in the morning.

Moxsie Pretty Little Thing Spearhead Earrings Lirany Vasquez

PRETTY LITTLE THING - Fit for big girls and little ladies.

Designer Lirany Vasquez sent us a fun mix of new Pretty Little Thing pieces. They're surprisingly wearable and would go just as well with your dainty frocks as they would with your studded leather jacket.

These Spearhead Earrings have a carefully placed pinch that'll catch the light and make 'em say, "Where'd you get those?"

Also check out our new Potluck Paris pieces - If you think your fingers need more attention than your ears, their latest batch of rings might just get the job done.

Singles Awareness Day

Feb 3, 2010 5:11:37 AM

If the drugstore aisles clad in pink and red are getting to you, you're not alone. Some of us at Moxsie could do without the lace and hearts so that we can just pick up our gummy vitamins in peace. Though we've got our fair share of V-Day gifts worthy of a loved one, we thought it'd be just as pertinent to pull up the best of what it takes to get your single life on.

Moxsie Men's Forecast for 2010

Jan 30, 2010 12:35:30 AM

Men's Fashion Week wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, and in the meantime we've finally gotten a chance to catch up on the top men's style bloggers. (Steady blog reading takes work, people!) With our powers combined, we present: Moxsie's Men's Forecast for 2010! (You can always revisit our take on Women's style for 2010 here.)

WORKING HARD, HARDLY WORKINGWhile it's key that you have the basics - well-fitted shirt, slacks, and jacket - we're going to see men's style shift more toward looser, business casual. Leisure moves in on otherwise formal territory with basic colors but more ready-to-wear pieces.

WELL EQUIPPED | Accessories are often overlooked when it comes to men's style editorial, but maybe that's because they make the mistake of thinking you already have the key essentials. Another misconception is that in order to be a well-dressed man, you have to focus on the clothes. Not true. It's just as much about what fills your pockets and how you carry your goods as it is about how your threads hang on your body.

POLISHED STREET  | There are many variations to the concept of polished street style, but what it comes down to is the details in your wares. A polished, street style-savvy man is not averse to surprise embellishments, but he is mindful that they be subtle deviations from the norm.

Moxsie Urbanears Plattan OceanJeanne of The Periodic Elements of Style has been looking for things to get her motivated for 2010, and our new Urbanears will help her step up her game on the treadmill.

...I could make an exception for the rad and vibrant Urbanears at Moxsie.com. I don't plan on running outside much, so running in the gym with a big colorful pair of headphones would be fine with me.

Urbanears have added to our growing poole of gadget accessories. With seven punchy colors, these are headphones that are fun and functional - Great for drowning out that chatty neighboring coworker.

Thanks for the mention, Jeanne!
