Arm Fashion: golden armor and the runway watch

Gold on the subway....Yes, I took these on the subway in New York- and no, I don't care if people think I'm weird for taking pictures by myself on the subway. ha ha ha...ok maybe I felt a little weird.

Golden arm- armor! I used to not like gold...at all! I would only wear silver. Well recently I've grown fond of the goldness...

This is how I mix it up...I don't know where the studded gold cuff it from, because my sister gave it to me (she always get sme stuff I love, like my yellow flower ring!)...
But the gold bangles are from Charming Charlie, they were under $10!
the watch is my biggest splurge item, it's the Michael Kors Runway watch (for me it's the most expensive watch I've ever owned, it was $250! I had to keep asking my mom, do you think I should buy it, is that too much money?!? And she said, "not for a watch, you wear it everyday and you'll keep this for years."- and yes even though I had gift cards  to buy it -gift cards are like money to me and Even giftcards I've gotten for my birthday- I end up buying the kids things with them! I also have "gift card" anxiety- I never know what to buy so I save them forever and then find out they've expired! Just found 2 expired ones in a wallet 2 days ago! (way to go Miss Indecision Kandee! ha ha ha)

..and though it's not a $500 or thousands of dollar Rolex...for me this was fancy and special, since I had been wearing my grandpa's watch for 10 years...that's how I roll, until it broke.  I'll wear this for at least 10- it's a classic style that will never, go out of style...so to me it was worth it. (FYI: You can get good deals on these on Ebay!)
-oh and the gold spikey ring is from BCBG, it was on super clearance at Dillard's for $9! I love this ring...I wish they made it in silver too!

What would do you think is a good investment item...a watch, purse, earrings, shoes??? And how many years have you used a watch?

Happy golden, bangley, changley wrists....i love you more than all the watched in the world! kandee

Jewelry Style Steal Report: Hip-Hot for Fall

ready to add some zazzle to your fall wardrobe...(yeah, I know it's still hot...but so are these urban-edgy-hip-hop-tastic" accessories...

I love the tough yet chic big chain link bracelet and yes, an awesome pair of gold bamboo earring (these aren't my first pair of bamboozlers either, I lost one a while ago, so these are replacements)
You could wear em al funky downtown or pair with a colorful flowing top for an exotic golden glow.

Inspiration: Michael Kors has this awesome gold chain link necklace that I love...but it 's about $690 over my $10 budget for necklaces...oh but just look at it:

(dear Michael Kors...you not only have the most amazing necklace...but your "RUNWAY" watch...is so fanta fanta fantastylistically, timeless, trendless, just a masterpiece, statement of a watch! I heart it more than cheesecake, which I heart a lot.

my budget looks more like Forever 21 finds...yep I got them all at F21, baby...nothin' over $6.80! see:

bamboo hoop earrings: $3.80
 silver chain link necklace & jade and purple gold horn necklace: (each) $6.80

I'm off to pack up all my wardrobe goodies..and sleep for like 2 hours, then wake up and head to the airport to go work on a tv show...but yay, I'll be getting up early and trying to get ready before baby wakes up..then trying to get all the baby gear ready to go too!...I'm gonna need to spackle on concealer under my eyes- so the rings under my eyes don't show! ha ha ha

off to go to bed, er I mean, take a nap...ha ha ha
bling-a-ding-ding.... i love you more than all the diamonds in the world, Kandee

since I've gotten a bunch a people askin' if I can show a picture of what I'm wearing everyday...we'll see...some days...the sweats may not be so exciting...ha ha ha ha...

but here's what hopped on my body for the day....

I love these pants...!!!! I just got them at a thrift store last week....and washed the heck out of them.... polyester is a weird fabric that doesn't like to let go of weird odors...and you betcha' these babies are -fantatic-ester!!!! ha ha ha ha

a super old Von Dutch, (before they got all trendoid) shirt that was one of my first shirt cutting creations many years ago....
