Winning Watches @Twitter

ToyWatch:  I won the Rose Black Color Tattoo watch by entering a ToyWatch contest on Twitter and I honestly feel like I won the lottery.  Talk about serious buzz!  ToyWatch has an impressive list of celebrity devotee’s like Oprah, Madonna, Sienna Miller and Jessica Alba and for good reason: their pieces are exciting! I am particularly enamored with their customizable Jelly Watch collection.  Each Friday, ToyWatch will choose a different watch style to give away through June (@ToyWatch). 

ToyWatch Jelly Watch: Customize your own Jelly (72 color combinations) - $175. 

Color Tattoo – Rose Black $295 

Precisiontimeco: TGIF!  You have to check out “Free Watch Friday” on Twitter (@PrecisionTime).  Simple, clean, chunky and cool, I won the Toxic Barrel and wear it with everything!  Of the many companies competing for your attention, Precisiontimeco is definitely a solid social media player.  Besides Free Watch Friday, I was equally impressed by their blog which was fun, informative and full of offers.  

Lucien Piccard Men’s Chronograph Watch: $139 on clearance (originally $475).

Toxic Barrel ($105 retail) 

Celebrity Copycat Deluxe: Get Selena Gomez’s Look for Less!

Although only 16, Selena Gomez (Hannah Montana, Spy Kids) is looking cute and trendy in skinny jeans and a cropped jacket.  Get Selena’s outfit (and two additional options) for under $200!

Celebrity Copycat: Leather Cuff Watches

Popular with celebrities like Johnny Depp, soccer star David Beckham and Chris Daughtry of American Idol fame, leather cuff watches can be a great accessory if you’re looking to revamp your style or just add a little “trend” to your look.  But not all cuff watches are created “equal,” and they come in a variety of styles and sizes.   

Johnny Depp is clearly the “Accessory King of Hollywood” and his style perfectly blends with leather cuff watches.  Fossil has a large and eclectic selection with the majority of pieces under $100 (style shown $75).

Chris Daughtry wears it well.  Check out accessthatrock.com for well-priced and unashamed rockstar accessories (style shown: $64.99 )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a more understated and “slimmer” leather cuff watch (like this classic version worn by Robert Redford in 1975’s Three Days of the Condor) try Diesel.  $140 for this model. 

Celebrity Copycat: Brian Austin Green

Everyone keeps harping about how great it is that Megan Fox is single. From the female perspective, trust me, it’s quite the opposite! There’s nothing better than a hot guy with a slightly nerdish look.  Get Brian Austin Green’s laid-back look for less………..

Celebrity Redo: Kate Bosworth

I’m sure Kate Bosworth could wear a paper bag and still look gorgeous, but this particular outfit (although cute and quirky) seemed to beg for a little “oomph!”  First step: I decided to stay within the same color family, but switch it up by adding a white crew neck sweater over a black button down ( I LOVE THAT COMBO!).  Next: The bulky bag wasn’t working for me, so I replaced it with a clutch.  Lastly,  I found a gorgeous bow back skirt, which really adds a lot of character to the outfit.  When it came down to the shoes and footless tights, I just went with it simply because I liked it (but the ensemble would look just as good without them).  Don’t forget, every piece in this outfit can be broken down and worn with just about anything in your closet: The skirt could be worn with a cropped blazer to work; the sweater with a pair of jeans for a casual luncheon, or the black button-down with a pair of black slacks for a chic evening get-together.

Rachel Zoe: It’s All In The Details

At first glance there really isn’t anything special about her outfit.  But take a sharper look and you’ll start to appreciate why Rachel Zoe is a master stylist – it’s all in the details!    Check out how her t-shirt drapes low off her shoulders; the chunky, gold men’s watch around her dainty little wrist; and the delicate necklace which plays in perfect contrast to the masculine vest.  And you have to love those platforms! Kudos to the busiest stylist in Hollywood that manages to find the time to look fabulous herself. Get the look for less……..
