Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Orange Crush

As I look at the window and am greeted with fog, it has suddenly dawned on me that fall has arrived and with fall comes new scents, flavors and a color palette.  And since we are in the month of October (and I did just return from Amsterdam where the color of the country is orange) I decided I should really try to incorporate the color that I despise so much into my wardrobe.

clutch, watch, bangle, ray-bans, earrings, iphone cover, gloves

I think the easiest way to incorporate orange for me would be in accessories.  Accessories allow you the luxury of being bold and bright without being too trendy or over the top.  I am loving all these varieties of orange goodies but am most definitely favoring the iPhone cover, as I am about to make the switch from blackberry to iPhone.  It's a little bit edgy, fun, punk and perfect to set me apart from other iPhone users.

sweater, blouse, ruffle top, pumps, dress, scarf

While the easy and safe route would be accessories, I would like to own one orange staple item.  However my fair skin and light hair are not complimented by orange.  So the trick is to find the right orange for you!  For me, I veer towards the coral and the red-orange options.  But if you are gonna go full out orange a scarf or shoes would be another great choice. 

This fall I am really going to try face my fear of looking like a pumpkin and try out this orange trend.  With options like the ones above I am pretty sure I can't go wrong!  What are your thoughts on orange? 

Gung-ho or steer clear?

How to Find the Best Deals on Watches for Men and Women

A watch is just as important to an outfit as any other component. People tend to overlook the lowly watch as a fashionable and stylish accessory, seeing it rather as an unimportant timepiece that no one cares about. But anyone who knows anything about dressing well and looking stylish knows that a good watch can mean a great outfit.
People think that women’s or men’s designer watches, or watches that will look good on them, are just too big of an investment. Stores and jewelers offer extremely expensive and fancy jeweled women’s watches and luxury watches for men, and after seeing those outrageous price tags, who would want to get a beautiful watch. But a great watch doesn’t have to come at a bad price, and if you know where to look, you can find great deals on women’s and men’s designer watches.
There are countless websites offering discounts on watches for men and women alike. Some of these offer even normally expensive jeweled women’s watches for a fraction of the prices. These are a great way to get the quality without paying the retail price, as many of the watches are old models which are still just as fashionable, or damaged watches sent back to the factory. While many of these sites offer extremely high quality watches legitimately and for reasonable prices, some are scam sites which should be avoided. Always research and read reviews on a site before buying off of it.
For more great watch deals, try checking a used goods site where people are reselling products that are still in acceptable shape for incredible prices. You can get the perfect women’s or men’s designer watches with minimum use and for a minimum price. Also consider looking in garage sales and on classifieds, where people may be offering even rare jeweled women’s watches for an unimaginable low price.

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Steal vs. Splurge

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am not generally a "watch person".  However whenever I see my roomie sporting her Michael Kors 'Runway' Rose Gold watch or my girl Christy sporting this stunner I am ever so tempted to become a "watch person" (I have my eye on this one specifically) and just spend the money. 

However, today I saw this awesome Timeless Fashion watch at Forever and am considering buying it to test out if I can really become a "watch person".  At under $20, it is the perfect "gateway watch". 

Anyone else not a "watch person"?  And those who are sporting these gorgeous bold watches, do you use them for the functionality of a watch or more as an accessory (like a bangle)?
