The Power of a Wrist Watch

I hear it from my hubby all the time, “why do I need a watch when I have an iPhone?” This is wrong on so many levels – sorry hun! Your phone also houses an obscene number of apps and distractions. How many times have you picked up your phone “just to check the time” then wound up on Facebook for 40 minutes?! Yeah we’ve all been there done that! A designated wrist watch will enable you to check the time and only the time. Aside from keeping you on track to check off all of the tasks on your to-do list, it’ll add a little bling to your arm candy. That’s a win win if you ask me!

The featured watch is from Kapten & Son, a watch and sunglasses line, disrupting the US watch market in a good way! What separates them from the rest is that you can design your own timepiece. Choose the dial color, strap, case color, and size then voila! I chose the 40mm face in white, and a mesh rose gold strap. It matches with everything and the compliments are endless. When I get tired of the mesh, I’ll swap it out for “canvas blue” or “vintage brown leather.” That’s right, the straps are interchangeable! Keeping track of the time has never looked so good and never been so easy.

Thank you to Kapten & Son for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

A hip take off of the classic MK Runway timepiece, the flash lens watch in pink and green is a great way to add a pop of color to your neutral ensemble. I can already picture this gem with an all white look and a bright pink lip!

If pink isn’t your thing, the Runway watch in blue is for you. Featuring a bright blue ombre dial and rose gold hardware, this pretty little thing is a great everyday piece. Don’t let the radiant hue scare you. Just like pairing your go-to blue jeans with every single top in your wardrobe, the same rule applies with some blue arm candy.

Finally, if you cannot commit to one color metal, go for the dual-tone watch. The Bradshaw features an iridescent pink and green face, similar to the Runway above, and roman numeral typeface. If your bling is evenly divided between silver and gold, this timepiece is a safe choice.

The dress photographed below is rather loose with a gold sequined overlay. Being roomy in nature, this is the perfect garment to wear for a fancy five course dinner. Who wants to worry about their skirt zipping closed, after chowing down on a delicious meal?! Now just because this dress doesn’t hug your curves, doesn’t mean that it isn’t flattering. The above-the-knee length shows off your legs while the low cut back helps flaunt extra skin back there.

Originally, I styled this look with simple “Peek-a-boo” pearl earrings, my rose gold watch, and nude Christian Louboutin’s – loving how the red sole adds just a touch of color. Being the color enthusiast that I am, however, I swapped out my nude pumps for bright red bedazzled high heels. Which ones do you like more?! I still cannot decide.

This two-toned beauty is what you would call the perfect everyday watch! The mixed metals (stainless steel with rose gold accents) make it easy to wear this timepiece with virtually anything in your jewelry armoire, and the pave crystal bezel allows you to mix this item right in with your fine jewels.

Now about that blue face…when it comes to fashion accesories, to me, navy blue is the best alternative to your black and white wardrobe staples. Think jeans. You pair your favorite denim with just about anything, right? The same rule applies here.

Speaking of blue, this would make for a wonderful Hanukkah gift…hint hint!
