{Friday Faves} The Etsy Taste Test

Friday, December 24th, 2010 by admin

I don’t know about you, but I find Etsy can be wholly overwhelming. Love the site, but sometimes I just want to look at things that appeal to me without having to scroll through page after page. Well, maybe the lovely people at Etsy were feeling the same way because they recently launched their “taste test.” It’s a quick quiz like process (it’s all pictures) that creates pages of products based on the things you like. The first question looks like this, but if you don’t see anything that appeals to you, you can refresh the options and try again. It’s a lovely thing, and a great way to start dropping those Valentine Day hints. Yea I said it, Christmas is almost so done for the year. Enjoy the holiday!

{Friday Faves} Watch Out

Friday, June 4th, 2010 by admin

One upon a time, actually almost a year ago, my watch went in for a new battery. As the story goes it was fixed and shipped back to me, but sadly it never arrived. I have gotten over the fact that particular watch is donezo, and now I am searching for one that stops time by it’s allure.

Time stopped for this one, and then it started again when I saw the price.

Cartier wedding watches, destination wedding

Cartier Chronoscaph Watch, $4350 which is way too nice for me, but it sure is pretty.

Now for the more reasonable/ likely options

Destination wedding watches

Michael Kors Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch, $225Michele Sport Sail Large White Bracelet, $645

I may be prematurely aging myself here, but I so remember these watches. I wanted one so badly in grade school, and then they were banned so no one could cheat on math tests. It’s another eighties revival, which reaffirms my belief that everything from that decade should have been left there.

Destination Wedding Watches

Casio Stainless Steel Databank Watch, $130(!?)

Growing up in the south I appreciate the preppy-ness of this bad boy. Plus I have a hard time passing up anything blue.

Timex ‘Heritage’ Watch, $95

Decisions, decisions. Have a great weekend!
