I Want To Wear: La Mer Chain Wrap Watch...But Which?

28 October 2011

I've seen La Mer watches cropping up all over the place recently. In magazines. On Pinterest (just joined - so fun, still don't really have a clue how it works mind you). On celebrities. On blogs. But, alas, NOT on my wrist. Not yet anyway.

I have to get one of these. I love them. The problem is getting one, by that I  don't mean I can't find them, I mean just one as opposed to several. Yeah, I love them that much. Here's a few I'm debating between:



I love the leather wraps coupled with the touch of girly sparkle. Each of them are so different I don't know how I'm supposed to choose. I figured those four are quite practical color choices for me since they would go with a variety of outfits but I'm kind of lusting after this one too...

Not such a practical color choice...but then practicality never has been my strong suit! Maybe that one would have been better for summer though. 

You can see more of the collection here or you can customize your own watch (fun - maybe too fun - I'm staying away!) here on the La Mer website.

Before you go browse though I need your help please...which do you think is the best choice??

PS: I hope everyone has a lovely relaxing weekend!

I Want to Wear: Gold Metallic Effect Skinny Jeans.

24 October 2011

Trend Alert : Metallic Jeans
This is a new kind of post I'm going to be doing - items I spot and want to wear. It's kind of like a trend alert type post too as...lets face it, my taste is just impeccable, awesome, perfect, flawless! Ha. I'm joking obviously! Except in this case these are actually going to be a big trend. Metallic jeans will be a huge fall/winter 2011 trend I reckon. No doubt you've already spotted some metallic jeans in the stores. I saw this pair that I'm dying to go back and buy. Do not know why I didn't just get them there and then.

They were in H&M so they were pretty cheap, which is great for bold trends like this one. It means you don't feel so bad when you can't really wear them (fashionably at least) anymore.

I spotted this pic of Elle Macpherson on Grazia's website wearing silver metallic jeans. I love how she paired her silver metallic jeans with a simple loose sweater.

Although metallic jeans might not be for everyone, if you dare to try then they'll add a fashionable level of bling to an outfit. The easiest way to wear these is to keep the rest of your outfit simple, let the jeans do the talking!

Here's the info of the six pairs shown in the set I made at the top:
Mango skinny jeans
£55 - mango.com

TopShop super skinny jeans
$120 - topshop.com

So what d'ya reckon? Will you be trying to rock a pair of metallic jeans or is this trend a bit much for you?
