a very timely craving

i have always loved watches.  i have a small collection, mostly gifts.  but, of course, my favorite is my chunky, silver michele watch - a birthday gift two years ago from my husband, who then was just my boy toy ;)

this year, however, i have had my eye on gold watches.  i prefer a more classic look & would be more than happy to see a gold or rose watch under the christmas tree this year!

making a statement

i have always been a big fan of the jewels - the more the better has always been my motto. i love the look of layering chunky and delicate necklaces (and bracelets!).  also loving the pop of neon with chunky rhinestones.
