Ultimate Watch Wishlist, October 2016

    Ultimate Watch Wishlist, October 2016

Hey guys! Today I'm gonna be showing you guys my updated watch wishlist for 2016. The last time I made a watch wishlist was over a year ago! And boy has my wishlist changed in a year. Some things stayed the same, but you'll see a lot of new pieces on my list. This list will go in order of how much I want the piece. So without further ado here's the list!

1. Copernicus- Atlas

Here is a watch that was on my list last year, and it has returned for good reason. I am in love with this watch and the story behind it. I came really close to purchasing this watch recently, but decided against it for another watch (which I'll be blogging about later). Last year I featured a picture of the blue version of the Atlas model, but this year I am sticking with the classic black color. I think this piece is timeless and it could go with many outfits. I would personally wear it on more dressier occasions, but I think a casual outfit could be elevated with this piece. Overall this watch is the most obtainable for me at this time in my life. 

     2. Rolex- Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41

This watch just recently sparked my interest, and I found the color way that I would get if I were to buy one. I love the silver bracelet and the grey dial color way of this particular watch. On my last watch wish list I had another Rolex watch, but I replaced it with this one as I think the DateJust is such a classic model and I think it could be worn in very fancy situations but also in very casual settings.

    3. Cartier- Tank Solo

You may recognize this watch from last years list. I still love this watch, but it has gone down the list. It is still one of my favorite watches, but not my number one anymore. I would love to buy one eventually, possibly a vintage one. I prefer it in silver, but the gold ones have a great vintage look to them.

    4. Audemars Piguet- Jules Audemars Extra Thin

Here's a new one! This watch just recently got on my radar and I'm in love! This watch is in rose gold, with a  black dial. I think this watch is so slick. I usually don't go to rose gold watches, but this watch does it perfectly. It's not obnoxious, as some rose gold watches can come off very tacky. This watch features a crocodile leather band, which adds to the beauty of the piece.

Thanks for reading! I hope you guys are enjoying these watch posts. I'm gonna plan to do more mens fashion and interior design posts. Let me know in the comments what you guys what to see from me! Also make sure to follow me on my social media down below!

Thrift Find of the Day #6

Thrift Find of the Day #6

       Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! I just wanted to check in with everyone and show you all a cool thrift find. I discovered this piece a few weeks back at my local Goodwill, and I've been in love ever since. This is an amazing example of early 20th century needlepoint art. This one in particular is even dated at 1927. It was created by a six year old girl named Mae Jean. Once I saw this gem I grabbed it, because I knew it was something special. And it only cost me $2.99! That is a steal considering that you can never fully recreate a piece like this. Perhaps one of the most amazing aspects of this piece was its frame. It was done professionally, and even done with matte glass! This makes it look super cool as you will never get a glare. So let me know what you all think of this awesome piece!

Stone Furniture

Stone Furniture

     Recently I acquired a piece of furniture that really got me excited. Its a vintage marble coffee table! I have seen this piece for years in the my great aunt and uncles home, and finally I decided to take it off their hands as they are moving into a condo. I love the fact that the colors are very modern with the black and white, and the fact that the slab of marble is not attached to the ugly green base. This means that I can buy some cool MCM table legs. I just envisioned this piece in my future Chicago apartment! With dark grey walls and black leather furniture, I could really make it work! Let me know what you guys think about this diamond in the rough!

New post coming soon!

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting anything for a while, but Im working on some cool new fall decor blogs! I have been really busy with school lately, ACT and all. So stay tuned for upcoming blogs!

GENERAL UPDATE

GENERAL UPDATE!

                   Hey Guys! I just wanted to come on here to give an update since I haven't posted in a couple of days. I haven't posted because I just started school this week, and that takes up a lot of my time. I wont be able to go thrifting as much as I did over the summer, but I'm going to try to go do some thrifting tomorrow. I do have some planned blogs that will come out this weekend. Thanks for understanding!

Thrift Find Of The Day #5

Thrift Find Of The Day #5

           I'm happy to report that today was quite a succesful thrifting experience! Let me Explain. After looking around Goodwill today, and not finding much, I managed to find this amazing vintage hand made abstract art piece. The frame and everything is in good condition too, so it was a no brainer, and especially because it was marked at only $6.99! I think it was a good find and I have already put together some cool ways to use it on a shelf or a mantle. the first look I incorporated the gold tones, by adding the yellow gumball machine, and the gold two person decor item. I also added a black candle to add some contrast to the look. The second look I put together incorporated the black, white and grey tones to it. In this look I added two vases on the right, which brought the black/white/grey and on the left I used a cool zebra, and the same black candle from the last look. Both can be incorporated into any home and its super affordable! Thanks for reading, and leave me feedback!

Golden Thrift Haul!

Golden Thrift Finds

              So finally after a while of accumilating some cool, eclectic golden thrift finds, I am getting around to posting a whole blog about them! There will be another color specific thrift finds post coming soon, but first lets get on with the Golden collection! So The first item I found was the two person object. I found it for only $1.99 at my local Goodwill, and I was quite happy because it still had its retail sticker from Marshalls that read $9.99! And the best part, was that it was in pretty much brand new condition! This made the find so much more fufilling and rewarding! The next find on the far right is this cool plastic candle holder. It was only $.99 so I couldn't resist it, but looking back at it now, it was not the best purchase of the day. I am still sure that it will look amazing in future staging projects, like with a black candle in it. For less than a dollar I couldnt say no. The last find of that day, was this awesome golden mask. I was in the lighting section of Goodwill, right when I was about to give up, I foundd this awesome mask laying on the top shelf where I couldnt even see the amazing golden color of it. It was such a quirky piece, that I could not leave it, especially the $2.99 price tag! Upon further investigation, I had revealed that it was a form of porcelin or some kind of clay. I dont care what material it is, because i am still in shock at how awesome it is! So that was my Golden thrift finds and boy were they good! Thanks for reading and please leave me feadback!
