gorgeous! YOU have great taste CC - love the J|C Balmain beauties!
ReplyDeleteThat watch is stunning. Orient watches are timeless (no pun intended) and classic.
ReplyDeleteMenswear inspired watches call for a sexy dress, a well cut blazer, killer ankle boots, and flowing waves.
the contrast between structure and feminity is always a beautiful luck.

ReplyDeleteThat Vogue cover is divine!

P.S. Read your interview - it was such a great idea and it was wonderful to know you better.

Well count me in! This is a fab, fab post CC!!! I want the watch because... embarrassingly so-- I don't own one, never had or I did but never used it ..... relied on my cell phone for the time..
ReplyDeleteWow, it would appear that I love what you love CC ;)
ReplyDeleteEspecially that fabulous Spanish Vogue editorial (April 08).
I adore that Orient watch to the nth degree! It epitomises EVERYTHING I look for in a watch; oversized, stainless steel, chic, classic, fabulous!
I would style it with anything and everything. I'd pair it with a feminine floral frock, with a ballgown and even for a spot of golf (if I played ;)
hey CC!! looove the alexander mcqueen pleated blousee!!
ReplyDeleteThe watch is so pretty...what I like the most about it is the size...it's easy to check the time without being noticed...Trust me, this is important when you are trying to count the number of breaths a person takes during a minute :). I would wear it with classic jeans and shirts, but I would also wear it with a romantic dress.
ReplyDeletej'adore christian louboutins!
ReplyDeletelove men's watch for women especially this Orient watch--Love the stainless color, and its classic look. I will love to enter the giveaway.
I could use this Orient watch for any outfit, but specifically i will wear is with a drop crotch pants or Hareem pants, with a racer or T sheer tank and a ysl tribute pumps. I will pair the watcg with silver, gold bracelets, silver/gold rings!!

ReplyDeleteMen's watches for women... such a good idea! With the chunky fashion trend now, it's a perfect fit. It would be great with a collared button-down and high waisted skirt at work. Very classy.
