(Another) Orient Watch Giveaway!





could there be a more perfect present to give than a watch?

Orient offered me another of their fine watches to review and give away to my readers.
I'll admit i come up way short as a connoisseur, but i know when something stylish and beautiful and this watch is that. I chose it because of its interesting dials. I mean everyone checks the time on their cellphone so if you're going to wear a watch it has to be interesting and show your personality. I chose it because it has personality. When it was delivered i was stunned at it's beauty. I thought, oh this is why people make a big deal over watches. I get it now.

It's called The Masquerade watch. The strap is a great brown leather, the case is made of crystal and has gold plating. You can see a video of specific details here.

This watch might not be for everyone but i think it would be for a man or lady who wants something interesting on their wrist but also wants a classic color. I could see it being worn with tweed and jeans.
If this is not the watch for you or the men in your life, fear not! Orient Watches has a great selection of watches for men including some that are made of Sapphire Crystal.

Anastasia of Beverley Hills Feature

Quick confession to all my readers: i have never had my brows professionally done. I'm sure that comes as a shock to most bloggers out there. We are all so fashion and beauty obsessed.

The reason why I've never gone through with it is because I've always been a low maintenance kind of gal, especially when it comes to waxing and certain upkeep. My full efforts go towards clothing and shoes.

So when i was sent an email about The Beauty Express Kit i said right on! I doubt that I'll ever step up my beauty swag to the level of some bloggers but at least I'll have nice brows !

I'll probably be doing the product review soon but first let me tell you about the Anastasia of Beverley Hills Salon.

Anastasia has long been the definitive eye and brow expert for icons such as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah as well as hip up-and-comers like Diana Agron, Selena Gomez and Kristen Cavalari and has recently expanded into colors that match their superior standards for skincare based cosmetics.
Their products have been added to all Sephora stores in the United States.

I'm including a video of the Eyebrow kit that I'll review soon. It looks like a superior stenciling technique. I can't wait! I've always had terribly sparse eyebrows, inherited from my mom's side of the family. Compared to my sisters my brows are puny!

Kits come in brunette and blonde. I might want to include this in my Christmas Gift Guide.

This is the coat i want for winter. I love the shearling and the plaid. Very simple and wearable for three months. I am so incredibly fed up with my old winter coats. I don't want black, anything but black.


Did i mention my new favorite band yet?

Much more excited about the start of the holiday season than i've been in years. That excitement and my excellent 20s costume inspired me to choose this dress for a giveaway. I bring you the "ski bop" dress, perfect for thanksgiving dinner or, if you choose, NYE or Xmas dinner.
