Time to Talk Watches

First of all, the pun was definitely intended in this blog post title. A watch just has a way of completing a look, even though I rarely actually use mine to tell time. I find myself checking my phone if I need to know what time it is.

I have a ladies Rolex that I received as a gift a long time ago and I literally wear it every single day. I do have a couple of other high-fashion watches, but I find myself always going back to a classic. I don't really buy a watch unless it's an investment piece because so much can go wrong with watches and you want one that will stand the test of time (again, another intended pun).

I love the look of women wearing large oversized men's watches and I wish that I could find a vintage Men's rolex or some stunning watches by Girard Perregaux that would be cheaper than finding a new one. I think that the 42mm size is perfect for the "men's watch" look. I think this is definitely what Michael Kors was going for with the popular gold watch that you see all the girls wearing these days.

I also love the look of a leather banded watch. I particularly love exotic leather bands with gold hardware. I am all about big watches right now, so I think that a huge faced watch with a brown leather band would be killer to wear all-year-round. Timex makes a great one that is both affordable and practical, all the while still looking stylish. I actually featured this watch a couple of year's ago in an old post.

Do you all have a particular watch that you wear every day or a style that you like? I always feel like my wrist is naked if I don't have a watch on. Do you feel the same way?

This and That

This week has been rough. It's been one of those weeks where I keep hitting the snooze button until I literally only have about 15 minutes before I have to leave for work. I go in phases where I will wake up super-early and be productive and then the next week I will feel like crawling into a dark hole in the mornings and going back to sleep. What gives?

I've pretty much given up on styling my hair. Rolling it lately has proven difficult as the curl falls out by the time I get to work, so I've been doing a lot of buns and braids. I probably need to cut

my hair and get an easier look to style.

This dress is about 4 years old from J.Crew and I found in the depths of my closet. I wore a Chambray top over it and threw my hair into a braid. Welcome to getting ready in 10 minutes at its finest.

I have been loving Emma Stone's easy casual style lately. I think she's so pretty and against popular opinion, I love her hair blonde.

Unfortunately, it's too hot here to wear a similar outfit, but I love the blazer and jeans look and could definitely recreate that with sandals and a breezy tank under the blazer.

I really want a Lady Dior bag in the large size with the shoulder strap. I've wanted one of these for about a year, but haven't convinced myself that it's a classic bag that I will keep for a while.

Do you all like the Lady Dior bag?

That's all for me today.

Casual Chambray

This is a casual outfit that I wore yesterday with a Chambray top from Gap, J.Crew pants, Chanel flats, Chanel Maxi and a scarf I got at JL MerryMarketplace a long time ago!

I hope you all like the new design! Thanks to Caroline of Between Your Ears for coming up with the new look!

Back to Black

I have been wearing a lot of black lately. I don't know why, but I feel like black is just so easy to wear. I recently got this James Perse dress that is super-casual and easy to throw on with anything.

Navy Blue Fashion

I have always loved navy blue- it just seems so regal and classy to me. It also goes well with people with lighter hair/eyes and pale skin. One of my favorite items in my closet is this navy blue H&M blazer that reminds me of something Duchess Kate would wear.
