‘watch’ing me ‘watch’ing you

What time is it? … Oh, ladies and gents it is multiple watch time. I first saw this trend in some other blogs, etc. … but-tttt …

… well when I wear it, fellow employees at my office look at me funny. And even ask me what if there is something wrong with me or my watches. I personally love the trend. I like accessories {and life} in excess. You?

Thoughts?

Big Rings — Class or Trash?


Lately I only wear big rings. I usually try to restrain myself to wearing them one at a time — one hand only — in order not to look too tawdry {showy but cheap and of poor quality}.

I am just in ♥ with cocktail rings. The bigger the better. I am totally crushing on this one right now — and plan to buy it as soon as it is back in stock. Hot, right? … Right? … Riiiigghhhht????

… a ‘bangle’ of good time.

I literally put on as many bangles as I can fit up my arms. It is getting a little ridiculous actually. I make so much noise when I walk. And sometimes my coat sleeves won’t even go over all the bracelets — but I just can’t stop myself. They are fun! They bring me a smile. They are affordable. I hope this trend lasts forever!

Look at all my bangles! I seriously think this may be slowly developing into a sickness. {top/bottom}

Glamour thinks bangles are still going to be hot in 2010. {below}

Do you?

Tiffany’s Keys …

tiffany-keys

I have never been big into Tiffany’s jewelry — in fact — I have been definitively anti-Tiffany’s…

Why?  Welllll … I have received two pieces as gifts.

  • A keychain: never stayed closed; I quite often ended up losing my keys
  • A bracelet: constantly tarnishing; I had to PAY Tiffany’s to clean it (trés-trés annoying)

HOWEVER, I must admit that I am quite taken with Tiffany’s new key collection. Or I was until I saw the price! Ouch. No. And even though I begged my husband (‘splurge for me’ ‘I am worth it’ ‘I never ask for anything!’), I never truly expected him to pay $175 (to over $1,000+!!) for a key charm — that does not even come with a chain.

This morning though I had a shot of enlightenment. I searched through my huge and unruly jewelry box and lo-and-behold I did find a lonely little key. Ghetto? Probably. Could I stand to get a better chain instead of the old leather I am using? Definitely. But I think my found key may have potential! Maybe I should head over to Etsy to see if a jewelry expert there could help…??
