I'm either giving you a great gift idea, a great gift hint to drop to someone, or a great gift-to-yourself idea! Or even just something pretty to look at. Either way check out these stunning Kate Spade Metro Grand watches I stumbled upon last week.
Talk about perfect holiday sparkle for your wrist, but also with the option to switch out the strap! To me the whole switching out the strap concept reminds me of the kinds of versatile watches that were around when I was a kid. Switch out the strap or the coloured bezel and it's like you've got a whole new watch! I like these ones because one is party perfect where as the other one is more streamlined and classic... okay, maybe not the neon pink as much but definitely the black!
I'm torn on which combo I love the most: I'm very drawn to the classic gold and black, but how fun is the rainbow and pink?
I previously mentioned that I have my eye on the Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry Skeleton leather watches, but while I pine away over those (and they are actually sold out most places anyway), I've found a comparable watch that is not nearly so pricey! Yes it's not as incredibly cool as the Skeleton watches, BUT considering they are about $170 less, I think that is just fine. The price of the Skeleton watches vary but no matter what you are looking to drop about 200 bucks, whereas this American Eagle find will only set you back $25.
I will also admit, these pictures are quite deceiving - the American Eagle watch does not look nearly as bright or neon as the Marc Jacobs one, but I promise you, I've seen it in real life and it is VERY neon!
I never used to be much of a watch person. I have always loved watches and wanted to wear one, but never really got in the habit of wearing one consistently. I think that was mainly to do with the fact that I never found one I loved enough to wear all the time. That is until 2 Christmases ago. I got from my parents the wonderful gold Michael Kors Mid-sized Runway watch. I love it because it's not too big, it's not small but a more classic size, and goes with just about everything! Last year I got another one - the Michael Kors white ceramic glitz version. I love LOVE that one. Between the two I'm now wearing a watch almost everyday, and I don't know how I didn't before!
My preferred style of watches has stayed the same (not into the tiny ones or the oversized ones) and I recently stumbled upon some watches that not only fit the bill, but are stunning and unique! They are the brand new Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry Skeleton Leather watches. I am pretty crazy about them... don't be surprised if you see me walking around with that yellow one around my wrist before summer hits! :)
