Fossil haul

May 8, 2012 6 Comments

My co-worker and I are just obsessed with Fossil watches.

This is L McMomsie (the blonde), she has been ‘featured’ on this blog many times before.

As I posted on Friday evening I have two Stella watches, one in black the other in white.

Just last week we were both in our local Fossil store in the mall and were trying on watches for me to get. (Still not sure when I’ll get mine, but I do have a few picked out. Here are my top three):

All Stella’s, just different looks. Which one do you think I should go for?

My co-worker couldn’t stop thinking about one watch when we went in last week, so on Friday we both went in once again to get her some new watches! Yes, plural!When you buy a Fossil watch they come with adorable tins for you to pick out.

Isn’t she just stylish? She had some great looking grey heels on too, I loved her outfit that day.

One thing which was totally missed by both the sales people and my co-worker, was getting the watch re-sized. I even ended up asking the sales girl when we were in there the first time, if they offer it no charge. But unfortunately my co-worker and I forgot, and it wasn’t suggested by the sales associates either. I think everyone was equally enthused by our excitement in the store. I had L try on her watches, and model them for me.

She now owns THREE Fossil watches. She’s ahead of me! I only have 2 and I want my third.

I’m definitely not going to go for a “diamond like” rim around my watch, since my white one which was purchased in 2009 or 2010, I forget, lost a few of its studs. So it doesn’t look the greatest!

Check out the changes that Fossil has been through over the past few years. L bought her old one a few years ago (left) and the new one is so much bigger. Of course Fossil has other sizes available, but L and I both like the over sized boyfriend watches. I think they’re so sleek!

Wish this was my haul, and not L’s. Ah well, my turn will come soon.

Accessorizing your outfits

May 4, 2012 No Comments

Having arm candy or necklaces can really spruce up an otherwise boring outfit.Â

You can easily look put together wearing a great pair of fitted, dark wash jeans with a plain white v-neck top.You just have to accessorize those outfits of yours! It’s fun to get creative with it all.

While I do like the look of bracelets, bangles and jewelry on my wrists, I get annoyed with them banging around if they’re too big. As I pointed out previously, I have abnormally small wrists so a lot of bracelets are bulky on me and tend to not be secure and tight.

I’ve done my research and purchased customizable sized items so it doesn’t feel too big on my arm. For instance:

Hello Berry bracelets (my HelloBerry review) are custom-made for your own arm. HelloBerry is sold on Etsy and they’re located not too far from me, in Toronto, Canada! When you’re purchasing which ever bracelets you wan, you just measure your wrist and tell them the size in the form. These bracelets do not have a clasp, they slide right over your hand and fit on that way. Sooo fun. I’m loving gold lately.
Fossil Watches are another nice statement piece. You can create so many different looks by paring your watches up with bracelets and bangles. The watch I am wearing above, is a Fossil Stella watch in White Resin. I own the black version of it as well (see online here). Fossil’s watches are so great because they have some really nice classic pieces, as well as trendy colorful one’s as well, like rose gold or a nice teal blue. I’m thinking of getting a third watch from Fossil. I have one picked out already but I don’t want to show you unless I actually get it.
Inexpensive elastic-like bracelets from Ardene.
Cute statement or simple rings.
