Fossil Fall 2013 Collection

I don’t get the weather. First it was 40º for a whole week now this week it’s dropped to 17º and I feel like I’m in the arctic. What extreme temperature differences. Seriously I feel like I need to sit by a fire.

I visited the Toronto Fossil HQ’s in February (wow, has it been that long since I saw my friend Lori!?) and blogged about the Summer 2013  line a few months ago. Now it’s time to jump into the goregous Fall collecion that I was itching to show you all! Since it’s already in stores I can talk about it. 

Tada! Fossil Fall 2013 Collection.fall-2013-for-fossil

I haven’t been checking out the Fossil website in a while. I can’t visit there too often, or I’ll want everything. My co-worker showed up to work with a brand new bag and told me she purchased TWO purses over the weekend. TWO. From Fossil! That means she now has 4 Fossil purses and endless more accessories and watches by them. Since she failed to tell me that she bought them and I had to find it out my own way (spotting it next to her desk) I decided to ask her to take photos of me modeling them. Ha!

The orange crossbody explorer was on sale, and she couldn’t decide between the Explorer Tote in purple, or the Explorer Crossbody in orange sooo, she got both.fossil purse in orange

Hello beautiful! LOVE THE ORANGE.fossil-orange-summer-2013

Alright back to the Fall collection. I want to show you my favorite item FIRST. I don’t want to save the best for last. Who does that?

Boom. There you have it folks. The best of the Fall 2013 Collection in my mind. Leopard print and orange. Huzzah. How beautiful! Wait omg, I can’t find it online. Did they only go with the black for Fall?! It’s the Memoir Flap Checkbook by the looks of it. Ahgg.orange-and-leopard

Couldn’t stop modeling with it.leopard-print-fossil-2013

It’s in stores right now. Also online. How convenient. me-holding-up-fossil-purses

There’s such a variety of styles this fall it’s incredible. Look at the two purses below. Almost like old school Doctor bags. The one in the back I forget the texture, whether it’s cloth or leather but the gold cross hatch detailing on it is beauty. The cognac color of the purse in front is one of my favorite browns for purses. Plus it comes with matching wallets (like the one in the bottom left hand in the picture below).fossil-fall-2013

I’ve been itching for Fossil to come out with a suede purse. I have two favorite colors lately. The Erin Crossbody is available in this purple/fuschia below. How perfect, one of my favorite colors (To be honest, my first fav color is a nice coral/watermelon and fuchsia is a close second). Too bad the entire purse isn’t suede. I need them to make one like that. Fossil, you listening? :) Below is a crossbody canvas and suede mixture with a full zip on the top, large enough to fit your (reg sized) ipad. fossil-crossbody

I dare you to buy this Erin satchel below and show it to me. Perfect color. A nice pop of color to add to your Fall wardrobe. purple-fossil-2013

And for the conservatives who still like Fossil but want to stay classic and steer clear of trendy colors. We have the perfect wallet and color for you. Navy! Always safe, always reliable. fossil-navy-wallet

Some fun belts are readily available in the furry leopard print too. I’ve spotted (ha) a similar belt at Target Canada, and already picked one up. So I’m good for now. fossil-belts

I had such a fun time at Fossil, I can’t wait to go back. Can’t believe it’s been five whole months since I was there last! I need to change that, asap :) fossil-favs

Sharing the Fossil love

So much Fossil love has happened since I last blogged about them. Though it may sound sponsored as it always may seem with Fossil. It’s not. Just truly love the company and their products.

Remember when the CEO, and my Boss picked up some Fossil goodies in March? Then I finally showed you what was available for the Fossil summer launches!

Well friends, apparently Fossil thought it was my turn to have a little something special from them too. My friend Lori e-mailed me a birthday parcel with some Fossil treats!

Please wish my new Fossil Explorer Flap Clutch in bright blue a happy one week birthday as of today. I filled it up with my cards and my dollah billz the moment I ripped open the FedEx packaging. No holding me back. Use it or lose it baby.fossil-clutch4

My nails have already made a few minor scratch marks on the supple leather. It was a little distressing, but the soft leather will eventually be distressed on its own. Hence that’s the look it’ll age with. Soft, touchable leather.  fossil-clutch

The explorer collection is by far my favorite by Fossil since it has so many compartments. It has a huge pocket at the top of the clutch which is wide and deep enough for your phone amongst other things.

I use the second zip for coins.

Side view. Ain’t he pretty? I say he, because all my other Fossil’s are female. I mean, c’mon a pink explorer flap? 3 triplet watches named Stella? Girl needs a bit of diversity, am I right?

I was way overdue for a new wallet since my blue coin purse turned wallet was getting a little ratty. I had my eye on the Fossil (which I blogged about, no surprise there). And boom, that was sent to me as well. Fossil Canada Headquarters, you are way too kind to me. I appreciate it more than you know, Lori. Sending virtual hugs, friend!

This morning another surprise came to my attention. TWO parcels from Fossil in less than a week? I’m one spoiled birthday girl. Fossil mini crossbody

My co-worker and I are matching Fossil-licious fanatics!fossiliciousI need to get a photo of my entire co-workers Fossil goods. Because it’s quite unreal at how much all of us love the brand.

While my Mom was in Florida during the first few weeks of April, she e-mailed me the first day of shopping once she came back and said “Look what I got, hehe” and what do ya know. I’ve got my Mom hooked on it too. Moms Fossil watch

Laura’s birthday was a few days before mine and her daughter bought her a lot of jewellery at Fossil! I was pretty impressed.

Oh, and that’s not all. Her daughter also bought her a necklace with charms too. Such fun pieces.Lauras Fossil2

Laura (shown in the photo above) also picked up this explorer crossbody purse for herself. It matches my purse. I’ll have to get a trio photo of our items together again,  just so they can hug, and remember their blue explorer cousins. lauras purse

I am a Fossil influencer. I know it. All these people have bought Fossil items because of my obsession. Or because they just love Fossil, but I like to think it’s because of me, ha!

Even the girl we interviewed a few weeks ago brought in a Fossil purse that I spotted. There’s no denying my hawk eyes. When I spot it I’m all Hey, love your purse girlfran. Instant connection.

Do you have an obsession with a product/item/thing as much as I do?

What is your favorite store to shop at? I love Fossil (who doesn’t?), H&M and Target.
