All About Timing

Let's talk timing. It's everything. And when you're not on time, well, it's embarrassing. Today we are looking at some casual, everyday watched that are affordable and chic.

Need Supply, Boheme Rose Gold Watch, $99

Worth the investment, kids. This rose gold watch is just stunning. Worn alone or add your own arm party.

Macy's, Timex Weekender Champagne Polka Dot, $55

Truth time: I bought this watch this weekend. I waited, I thought about it, and then I did it. I love it.

Nordstrom, La Mer Collections Studded Leather Wrap Watch, $98

Studs are usually more rocker for me, but these are dainty and feminine. Certainly a statement watch.

Modcloth, Arrow on the Side of Awesome, $39

I love this pop of color and a simple and chic watch face.

These watches are non-metal options meaning they are bit more casual. I think they can be worn to work, weekend, and in-between. While I wouldn't wear them with an LBD, they are workhorse pieces for sure.

Black Tie Wrist

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I thought we could extend the weekend a little bit by looking at some glamorous items. Watches. Now, stay with me, there is a trend and style for every kind of watch, but the dressier options sometimes leave the wallet hurting. Today I'm thinking of a black tie inspired watch. Black, white, with silver or gold accents. Very versatile yet mature.

American Apparel, Vintage Silver/Gold Roman Numerals Leather Band Watch, $45

The silver and gold option is a great way to play with mixed metals. 

Nordstrom, Anne Klein Round Leather Watch, $75

This is understated bling. Don't get me wrong there is a time and place for a blinged out watch, but for something more workplace appropriate, this is a great option.

Fossil, Georgia Leather Watch, $95

I really like the snaffle bit detail on either side of the face, it makes this piece just a bit more interesting.

Urban Outfitters, La Mer oversized vintage watch, $85

CHeck out the crown on this watch (aka the time adjuster knobby) I love how it stands out next to this quite oversized face.

Watches are a very personal purchase. For me I wear the same one everyday, so it needs to be dressed up and down depending on the occasion. Finding something black and white or a tuxedo-style watch will make it easy for you to mix it into your wardrobe.

Silver and Black

Happy Monday lovebugs,
We're back from another weekend and back to the grind. How was your weekend? I had a great brunch with Nikki, Rosa and Sarah yesterday, it's always great to get some inspiration from fellow bloggers.

Today I thought we would look at a great trend in watches: black and silver. It's so chic and easy to pair with any outfit.

 Nordstom, Timex Easy Reader Leather Watch, $65

So masculine, I would layer on a ton of bangles and maybe even a charm bracelet.

Fossil, Sydney mini face watch, $95

A great stainless steel watch is softened by a great circular face.

Asos, Watch with double dial, $53

Simple, chic and minimalist. Very professional.

Lord and Taylor, Jolie silverstone square watch, $45

I love the industrial look of this watch. And the price is just right.

It seems like every designer is coming out with their own watch line these days- what are you going to be wearing?

Gold Watch

Yep, nothing cute or creative from that title, but that's just what I wanted.  Gold watch.  A simple, clean, and weighted sentence and piece of jewelry that is truly timeless. Ok that was a little funny. Watch, timeless, ok fine, I laughed.

I bought myself a Michael Kors watch two months ago and while I was skeptical of the large face at first, now I won't take it off.  It goes with everything!  While you can splurge like I did and go for the $200 version.  Here are some picks for under $100.

American Apparel, Vintage Seiko Watch, $100

Simple, elegant, and vintage.

Urban Outfitters, wraparound watch, $38

This is so interesting.  Usually a wraparound is only seen with a leather band.  Love this!

Timex, easy reader watch, $29
I love this watch- its very old school in a journalist or editor sort of way.

Nordstrom, Anne Klein crystal index resin, $55

A little more casual with the gold ceramic band but perfect for everyday wear.

So are you feeling the gold? I think it is very ladylike and professional.

Watch yourself!

This post is a bit of research I'm doing for my good friend Amy.  Amy is looking for her bf to get her a watch for Christmas, but a watch is a very serious purchase and one not to be taken lightly.  It is one of a few accessories that you will probably wear every single day and have for quite some time.  So this is a big deal.

Watches have more styles than than RuPaul has wigs, so it can be a bit daunting.  If you're buying a watch for  someone make sure you take note of what kind of jewelry he or she wears.  Is it chunky, silver, gold, plastic, preppy, rocker?  Take that into a account when making your purchase.

While I could spend all day listing watches, these picks are ones I think Amy would love.  Do you have something on your list you'd like me to research? Great! Email, tweet, or comment it to me and I'd love to get started on it!

Also lovebugs- tomorrow is Friday Foodday so send me those recipes!

Urban Outfitters, typewriter initial watch, $28

How adorable is this? Dainty face with a masculine band.

Fossil, three hand silver dial, $75

I like this one because it's no nonsense.  Chic and functional.

Anne Klein, Silver Tone Easy to Read, $55

I would make sure to try this one on in the store because if the circular face is too big on your wrist its going to drive you nuts.

Fossil, Berkley pink, $95

Colorful plastic seems to be a huge trend in watches right now.  I like this one because It's sturdy enough to wear with a suit.

Anne Klein, 10-9304, $59

This might as well be a bracelet. I just love it. It's gorgeous.  It looks like something you'd see at an estate sale or an antique store.
