Fossil Finds

Ever find a piece you love and wear so much that you simply have to recommend it to everyone?  My Fossil watches are just that; they're my everyday go-to (I interchange them according to my mood).  I received my first and second as birthday gifts from my parents and my best friend a while back; and I never really wore watches until then.  It took me a little while to get used to having something on my wrist, but now I wear one everyday, and when I don't, I feel kind of naked without it.

And then I received my newest Fossil watch, the gold Cecil Multifunction Stainless Steel watch, sent to me by the amazingly kind people of Fossil; and I've worn it every day since it came in the mail!  I've had my watches for a while and they still look like new; these watches can really take a beating.

I've had the two watches on the ends for some time now, and they still look brand new despite everyday wear-- they can really take a beating!

I've compiled a few of my favorite picks that Fossil currently carries.  My favorites typically have a larger face (because sometimes I forget to wear my glasses...oops).  I admit I tend to gravitate more towards more versatile pieces, nothing overly showy, but still with a classic shape and maybe a slight quirk (like the orchid-colored face of one of the watches below).  I like to be able to mix and match my watch with all my accessories and outfits.

I've also included some men's picks because guys can always use a good watch!  The men's watches are sophisticated and grown up without being stuffy-- something the guy in your life will definitely appreciate.

Did you know that Fossil also does clothes and accessories?!  While window shopping watches, I just had to look at their other pieces.  My absolute favorite is their motorcycle jacket in 'raisin' (I love, love, love the deep reddish-purple of the jacket; it's perfect for a sophisticated pop of color to an all black outfit).  I'm also in love with the Vickery Drawstring Satchel (the smokey blue color is to die for)!  Both are currently on my wish list (cue attempts fill up the piggy bank)!  :)

Alex Aviator Sunglasses (Matte Silver) // Vickery Drawstring Satchel (Smokey Blue) // Marin Classic Retro Sunglasses 

Seriously, if you've never checked them out before, make sure you stop by Fossil at the mall or online.  They're definitely a can't miss brand with their great quality pieces that are a great investment and addition to your wardrobe!  :)

The Stockings Were Hung By the Chimney With Care

You can't have Christmas without stockings!  Nowadays almost anything can be a stocking stuffer, so long as it's small enough to fit in the stocking.  Instead of candies, accessories, mini-fied goodies, and even gift cards to a favorite place are the way to go.

Top Row: minimergency kit // heart sunnies // lip + nail matching duo // golden earbuds 

2nd row: macaron trinket box // mini mason shaker // metallic bow // assorted hair ties

3rd row: hunter boot liners // j. crew band aids // tasseled hair ties/bracelets // anastasia brow kit
