A Week with My Watch | Timex Giveaway

Back in May, I attended the Macy's x Timex "American Icons" watch launch party where I previewed some of the brand's newest time pieces. As a lover of arm candy and watchees in particular, it was great being able to see some of the latest styles from such a notable watch brand. I was gifted with a Timex watch of my own and styled the piece over the course of a week. The watch has quickly grown to be one of my favorites - it's durable, cute, versatile, and fits my baby-sized wrists (very much a plus in my book). Below are a few of my arm candy shots - which one is your favorite?

Of course, (arm) candy is better when shared with others! So, I'm giving away a Timex watch to one of you! Simply leave a comment below letting me know which look is your favorite and let me know you did so via Rafflecopter. This giveaway runs from now until the end of the month - good luck! (Please note the watch you receive will be different than the one I have styled above.) 

Be sure to check out all of Timex's new styles at Macy's this summer!

Pop of White

Skater Dress c/o Charlotte Russe, Denim Moto Vest & Whip-Stich Crossbody Bag c/o Aeropostale, Steve Madden Leopard Flats

I have yet to find a skater dress that I don't like and this blue and white number from Charlotte Russe is no exception. Two things I love about skater dresses? They're flattering and feminine. When you have a smaller waist/torso and a larger bottom half (hey, I have hips, okay?), skater dresses complement your figure like no other dress can (which is why I own so many of them, ha!). I've been playing around with the different ways to wear vests and lately I've been stuck on the vest/dress combo. This denim moto vest from Aeropostale helps give my otherwise girly ensemble, just a the right bit of edge - but don't be surprised if you see me wearing it again in a completely different way. I can already see myself pairing it with some printed shorts or skinny jeans for my next look. And the crossbody? I'd call it the perfect summer companion. I hate carrying larger bags because it turns me into the ultimate bag lady - if I can stuff my bag to no end, then I will. A little crossbody helps me minimize and take only what I need. All together, I'd say I'm ready for summer. (Hey, San Francisco, you hear that? Gimme some sun!)

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. 

pancakeLEFTOVERS: May

I'm a bit behind, but better late than never, no? May was another whirlwind month -- it flew by just as fast as it arrived. If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen a fair portion of my day to day (all the good stuff I fail to share on my blog!). But of course, there are more photos taken than can be shared in a month's time, so that's where the leftovers come in. So what were some of the highlights from the last month? Heading to Napa for BottleRock, Cinco de Mayo, Memorial Day weekend, Giants games, being Lucca Couture's Blogger of the Month, and some pretty cool press (Lucky Magazine, anyone?). June's already pretty amazing thus far, and I doubt that the good stuff is going to slow anytime soon. So before we speed off into the halfway point of the year, let's take a look back at some goofy shots and outtakes from the month before.
