Can I Get the Time?

I recently saw a blog post somewhere (and I can't remember where!) on watches and it was the same idea - watches to splurge on and watches that are a steal. The thing that made me laugh was that the J.Crew Timex watch was listed as the steal at $150.00. Which, really, isn't a terrible price for a nice watch. The part that made me laugh is that Target carries an identical Timex watch for a fraction of the price at $34.99. I've seen it firsthand -- my brother has the J.Crew version and I have the Target version and there truly isn't a difference. Target's changeable straps are cheaper too, so you can mix up colors depending on your mood or outfit for only $6.99 per strap! I have white, lime green, pink, and navy and white striped, but am looking to get a more neutral, subtle color like an olive green for fall. Just another reason to love Target, as if there weren't enough already!

On Kate Spade Time

I'm proud to say that I have owned the same Michael Kors watch since the summer before freshman year of college. I'd like to think that I was ahead of the trend with Michael Kors watches, considering it seems like everyone on the planet now owns one, whether it's silver, tortoise, gold, or ceramic. I love mine because of it's overly large face and simple design - no glitz or glam. However, Mr. Kors might have some competition with Kate Spade debuting their first ever watch collection. Above are some of my personal favorites. Continuing with my pink obsession, I love the Cooper Strap in a neon pink and the Metro is a nice neutral color that is not a typical gold or silver. I've also been wanting a two toned watch for awhile now, so that would make the Cooper Bracelet a perfect addition. Looks like I better start saving!
