Watch collection 2016

Watch collection 2016

       Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for what seems like ages, but lets not harp on that ;) Today I have a new blog for you guys! It's an updated watch collection! My collection isn't huge, but it unique, curated and well loved. Also, along with this blog, I will do an updated watch wish list! A lot has changed on my wish list and I can't wait to show you guys!  So anyway, onto the collection! Enjoy!

       The first watch I'm going to be talking about is my Michael Kors Brockton Blue Dial Black Leather Strap Chronograph watch. I know, there is a stigma against Michael Kors in the fashion industry, but I adore this watch! It is so versatile and it goes with many outfits in my wardrobe! I've had this watch for over three years now and I must say that it has held up very well. The color of the dial fits into my wardrobe very easily as it is a dark blue. This watch features a faux croc leather band, which makes the watch have a more fancy feel, but I don't hesitate to wear it casually.

       The second watch that I have in my collection is my Jack Spade Pillow Tank, Sutherland watch. So I got this watch almost two years ago, and well I've had a rocky relationship with it. I love the style of it, as it has a really cool vintage look, but there are a few drawbacks. The first drawback is the strap. This is my only major problem with the watch. So the strap is a brown leather strap with this faux gator look to it. I love that part of it, as I didn't have a brown leather strap watch, but the strap on this watch is absolutely too stiff. It's so stiff that after wearing it for almost two years, the leather has cracked and is looking pretty beat up. Its really unfortunate, but I'm actually thinking of purchasing a new leather strap for the watch that won't look so beat up. Overall this watch is really cool and has a vintage look that really adds to any outfit.

       The third watch that I'm going to be talking about is my Versace watch. I got this watch last November for my birthday and I have loved it since! Since the first time I laid my eyes on the watch I loved its edgy, fancy and elegant look. It is a silver watch with a black dial, but the dial is made with a slight pattern. Also the bezel on this watch is different, as it incorporates a classic Versace motif. I have not had any problems with this watch and in a few months I will have had it for a year, and I plan on having it for many more to come! Also this watch has the best packaging of all of my watches.

Men's Watches

Men's Watches

           Hello everyone! I am back to writing blogs and i wanted to start off this return on a topic that I have been thinking about a lot lately, watches. While I only own two watches at the moment, I have always appreciated the look of a fine watch. There are so many unique watches out right now, and most of the ones that have been on my radar are quite affordable! When it comes to me buying watches, i have been attracted to leather strapped watches. In fact the only two watches that I own, both have leather straps. The first one that I own, is an amazing Michael Kors watch. I got it almost two years ago for my birthday. This was my first real watch, which is why it is so important to me. While I usually shy away from anything Michael Kors, because of the stigma that I have attached to the brand, but when I saw this one, I really fell in love. It mixes a few of my favorite colors; black and blue. In addition to the dark blue face and the shinning silver hardware, the faux-black alligator strap really brings the whole watch together. My next watch is a vintage inspired Jack Spade watch. Being my second watch, I bought it a few month back and haven't looked back since. The story behind this watch is quite interesting as I saw it at the store for a long time, and never really considered it, as I am quite decisive with the watches I buy. So after some time, I finally decided to take a closer look at it. I was in awe of how amazing this watch was! It looked super vintage which is why I was attracted to it. Once again it was a leather strap watch, but instead of the black leather strap, like the Michael Kors watch, it has a brown leather strap. It has an alligator effect, just like my first watch. Anyways, when I tried it on, it looked really cool on. The by far the best thing about this watch, was the price. It was discounted almost three hundred dollars off the original price! The Jack Spade watch is by far my favorite watch at the moment, because of the vintage look and the square face. I'm all about unique watches and vintage inspired watches. I will be posting more watch inspired posts soon, as I will be ordering a few pieces in the upcoming week.

Men's Fashion: Cardigans

Men's Fashion: Cardigans

             I have loved cardigans for a long time now, and having already owned one cardigan, I was on the hunt for a simple black one. So today I went over to a local mall near me, to go to H&M and find a cardigan. I already checked the night before if they had any good ones, and they did, so I made sure to find them today. I found it right away when I walked into the store, and tried some on. I went with the black one, because I wanted a versatile color that I could wear with anything. I tried the x large, but ultimately went with the large, because the other one was super baggy and i wanted a good fitting one, to be my first black cardigan. Now having worn it all day, I definitely want another one, but maybe in like a mustard yellow or some kind of burgundy, or maybe even a navy. I already have a blue color blocked one from Jack Spade, so I would want maybe a dark grey next. One thing I can say, is that cardigans are very comfortable and you can wear them with almost anything. I'm sure I will be wearing it all season and through the winter and possibly into the spring! Make sure to comment down bellow and to check out my other blog posts for other fashion posts!

Love this color!
