One of my favorite aspects of cool weather is being able to bundle up with cozy sweaters in warm rich colors. Needless to say, I was delighted to see camel colored pieces everywhere this season.

Watching the Clock

Before last summer, I had very little interest in wearing/owning a watch. I had my cell phone to tell me the time, so what could a watch do for me? Oh, how I was wrong. Last summer Gabe bought me one of the gold Michael Kors watches for my birthday and I've been in love ever since. I find myself constantly eyeing a new watch, in a new color or shape, and wanting to bring it home with me. As I've mentioned here and here, I adore all the Michael Kors watches and would love to start a collection. The three trends that interest me most right now are watches in gold, bright colors, and the return of the digital watch! There are so many options at so many different price points, I feel like I can absolutely justify owning more than one. What watches are you eyeing right now?

The Look of Lucite

How could anyone not love huge clear lucite beads? I'm certainly a fan and am especially fond of the Michael Kors Lucite watch. Michael Kors does it every time. I'm definitely in the market for one of these and with the current Bloomingdales sale situation, I might have to purchase something from my list.

The Color Purple

I've been in love with purple practically since birth. From my lavender banana seat bike when I was 5 to my purple velvet formal dress when I was 14, I'll always think of purple fondly. While my taste has grown and changed over the years, gorgeous purple dresses and accessories (such as these below) still make me swoon. In recent years, I've been more than happy to reintroduce this color into my life as a wardrobe staple.

Shockingly Bright Pinks

As you can see by my profile picture (and shown above) I love shockingly bright pinks. This look is especially cute in dresses and handbags, but I'm happy to also wear it in more casual pieces like tanks and tees. This is definitely a color I want to wear a lot of this summer. What bright colors are you into right now?
