Online Shopping: Summer's Perfect Watch!

Hi all!

Happy Online Shopping Post Day! (lol I love this "new holiday")
Recently I've been looking for a new watch to wear in the Spring/Summer. My current watch is a gold Guess watch adorned with crystals circling the dial. I absolutely love it and it's definitely one of my most worn accessory pieces. But for the warmer seasons, the watch feels very heavy and chunky on my wrist and the gold tone and dark brown background just doesn't look right as my wardrobe colors become softer and lighter.

This Spring, Rose Gold is very popular. Not only is it in trend, but it's also a very beautiful pink color. I love it and it's a perfect color for the warmer seasons! After a lot of "researching" through hundreds and hundreds of watches, I have narrowed it down to a Top 10!


Marc by Marc Jacobs Marci Strap 33MM   175.00
 I love Marc Jacobs! Those who have read my Crossbody Bags post can kind of tell.. (lol) I really like this one because of the rose gold on grey here and I do like that it has a leather strap, which would be a nice change from my Guess watch. The only thing I don't like about leather straps are the imprints and creases left after a little while. :/


Marc by Marc Jacobs Marci 36MM  200.00
 I really like this one a lot. It is a little more on the expensive side of the 10 watches, but it's so purtyyyyyy :3. I love the rose tint, its pinker than most and it just looks so simple yet classy at the same time. The dial isn't too big or thick, so it won't be too heavy or chunky on my wrist.


AK Anne Klein Round Leather Strap Watch  95.00
 This one  is more of a light pink than rose gold I guess, but it's still a great color for warm weather nonetheless. What I like about this one is the part connecting the dial to the straps. It makes the watch look and probably feel smaller and it's gives a different style from most watches.


AK Anne Klein Round Roman Numeral Watch  65.00

  I love this combination of colors -- rose gold, mother of pearl, pink leather, and crystal. Just like the Round Leather Strap Watch, the part connecting the dial to the straps really caught my attention. The Roman Numerals makes the watch different and overall I think it's very elegant~ (And just look at the price! It's definitely worth it! :D)


Betsey Johnson Floral Dial Watch  75.00

 I am in loooooooove with this one! It's so... PRETTY :D. I love the florals (Flowers for Spring? How original, Evey. haha..) and the colors! I just don't like that the strap is white. Creases and scuffs are seen a lot more clearly on white.


Betsey Johnson 'Lots 'n' Lots of Time' Swirl Dial Watch  135.00
 This one is so whimsical! And it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland (lol). This watch is also available with a white band, which looks really nice!



AK Anne Klein Single Diamond Bracelet Watch  125.00

 This one isn't really my style.. it's a little too fancy for me, but I know other girls would love it. This strap gives a unique distinction from other watches.


AK Anne Klein Round Bracelet Watch  110.00

  Totally loving this bracelet strap! It's so thin and slender^.^


AK Anne Klein Crisscross Bracelet Watch  75.00

 Look at all the sparkly crystals! (lol) This watch has a very elegant look, and I really like the crisscross pattern, it gives the bracelet more definition. Also, the rectangular mother-of-pearl dial gives the watch a nice shape.


AK Anne Klein Charm Bracelet Watch  125.00

 It's funny, I just noticed that many of the watches are AK. This one is obviously very different. It's cute, fun, and a little girly! A bracelet with charms is perfect for the fun Summer season.


Well girls, those were the Top 10! Now for 2 Honorable Mentions:


Betsey Johnson Crystal case & Patent Leather Strap Watch  95.00

Animal print seems to be very "in trend" this Spring, particularly cheetah and leopard print! This watch is definitely fun and bold, depending on what you wear, it could really work. I really love it, especially the '♥' where the '4' should be.


La Mer Multi Chain Bracelet Watch (in Rose Gold/Beach Stones)  176.00

 This honorable mention is so cute! I love that is multi chain and the contrast between the leather band next to the chain and beads. It looks like you're wearing a watch plus a bracelet. I'm just afraid that it would be too much for Spring/Summer in the heat, but it is a great combo!(:

I've seen some girls wear their watch with a Tiffany bracelet, which looks really cute o; !

So there you have it ladies! Time to decide which one I want to get for myself :3 Which one do you think I should get? Let me know, leave me a Rawrr!

Online Shopping: Crossbody Bags!

Hi all!

I woke up this afternoon with a bad headache so this post is late, I'm sorry :/. While watching MythBusters, I did a little online shopping (hehe..). In June, I'm taking a trip to Florida with my best girlfriends (WOOTWOOT!!) and we plan on hitting a couple of theme parks. Since I won't be allowed on to the rides with a big bag, I have been "researching" for a cute crossbody bag that's big enough to fit a few things like my phone, a sweater, a water bottle, etc, but small enough that they would let me bring it on the ride. I've been told that if the bag is small enough for me to lean back on during the ride, then they would let me bring it on. Oh, and of course it has to be cross body because a shoulder bag may fling out (and that wouldn't be good..lol). A cross body bag is perfect for trips and sightseeing because you don't have to lug extra things in your hand or on your shoulders. Now I just have to find one that's SUPER CUTE! (lol) So after what seemed like ENDLESS (and I really do mean hours of) searching, I've finally narrowed it down to 4!!


1. DKNY Heritage Vintage Leather Mini Crossbody
 This lovely mini is $185. It's actually the cheapest of the 4, but still an average size among them. I like the front okay, but I absolutely love the inside. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I feel like the space is perfect.
 The only thing I don't like is that the color is so light. This bag comes in only two colors-- Black or Nude. I don't think the black looks that good, but I'm afraid the Nude will get dirty easily :/. It's so difficult finding the perfect bag.


2. MARC BY MARC JACOBS Crossbody - Classic Q Percy 


At $198, this one costs a little more than the DKNY bag, but its soooooo cute!! I love it, love it, love it! Except, it's a little smaller than what I wanted.. 


 Also, bloomingdales only has it in 3 colors-- Hazelnut (the color shown in the above picture, which is actually kind of nice), Black, and Blossom (which sounds like a light pink, but it's more like a fuchsia).

 Although, the crossbody strap is not only adjustable, but detachable. I can use it as a clutch for the night time when we hit the clubs and lounges :D!




3. MARC BY MARC JACOBS Crossbody - Classic Q Natasha


This beauty is a little bigger than the Percy, which is great! And again they have it in Hazelnut^^. 



The interior is basically the same-- two open pockets and a zipper pocket. It's obviously roomier than both the DKNY one and the Percy, just because of the fact that it is bigger. It can probably fit most of the stuff I would want to take on a day out at the theme parks. 



I think the style is really cute with the folded flap and the zipper being at the end of that flap. If I add a classy keychain to the side, I'm sure I can dress it up for the night outs as well. The more I think about it, the more I think I might actually like this one more than the DKNY one now (lol!). BUT, it's also a lot pricier... $368... Why does there always have to be a 'but'?? :'( 




 4. MARC BY MARC JACOBS 'Petal to the Metal' Flap Pouchette


It's funny that 3 out of the 4 bags are Marc Jacobs. I do love their style though.. 

Okay so this cutie is really small... Despite it's size, the price is still more than both the DKNY one and the Percy. But I LOVE the little birdy on the front and the overall vintage feel of the bag. It's very, very small and definitely would not fit what I want to carry around during the trip, but it's so cute that I had to add it on my list! (lol, I just couldn't let it go) It comes in three colors -- Shell, Nude, and Black. I like Nude best because Black is never good for summer and Shell (which is similar to the DKNY bag) is a little too light. They also have a bigger version with this style, but that one is slightly too big for what I need -.-"...
(-sigh- You can never get exactly what you want, can you?)


After all this searching, I think I may settle for either the DKNY one or the Natasha. They both fit most with what I want. Do you have a better recommendation for me? 


Leave me a Rawr(: . Thanks!
