Look for Less: Rhinestone Studded Wrap Watches

La Mer wrap watches caught my eye in a magazine a while back- watches with long, embellished leather bands that that wrap around your wrist a few times. I never liked those chunky gold men's watches that girls started wearing, so I liked that La Mer kept their watches feminine, with small faces, but added a unique twist (literally). The only thing was that they were over $100 a pop on Karmaloop. Why spend that much money on one thing when I could get a bunch of cute bangles, bracelets, and cuffs instead? But then, everytime I went on Karmaloop, I kind of regretted not having the money to get one.

Now, I'm glad that I didn't buy a La Mer because I found these gorgeous wrap watches at 15dollarstore.com for only $15 each:

Are You Over- or Under-Accessorizing?

FAIL.

Yes, the hottest trends this fall and winter are meant to make bold statements… but not simultaneously. Someone needs to tell Myleene Klass (British TV and music star) about the “less is more” rule. She looks like Fall 2011 threw up on her!

The best way to make sure that you’re not over- or under-accessorizing is to take inventory of the details in your outfit before you leave the house. Add one point for each detail:

1. Add up each color in your outfit
2. Eyeglasses/sunglasses
3. Shoes (+1 pt for each extra detail)
4. Handbag (+1 pt for each extra detail)
5. Tights/socks (+1 pt for each detail and color, if visible)
6. Colored nail polish (no points for nude)
7. Contrasting buttons
8. Contrasting belt
9. Jewelry: watch, necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings, etc. (+1 pt for each)
10. Scarves, hat, bows, ruffles, monograms, labels, contrasting trim, etc. (+1 pt for each)

Add up your total points. If you’re under 8 points, you’re under-accessorized. If you’re over 18 points, you’re over-accessorized. The key, obviously, is to stay within the 8-18 range.

Also, please don’t wear several animal prints AND an oversized fur coat at the same time- if the fashion police don’t get you, PETA will.

NYX "Haute Jersey" Palette: It's Like Snooki-in-A-Box

Like any other born-and-raised New Yorker, I was bred to hate all things Jersey. That is, until I started watching Jersey Shore on MTV. For the record, my boyfriend and I only started watching that show so we could bash the pumpkin-orange, fist-pumping mess of a cast but, admittedly, I'm kind of obsessed with it now. (Hey, every girl's allowed to have some guilty pleasures.)

Now, to my even greater shame as a New Yorker, I have another Jersey-related obsession: the "Haute Jersey" palette by NYX Cosmetics. (Although the name will always be an oxymoron to me.)

NYX Cosmetics Haute Jersey Palette, $25

This palette is like Snooki-in-A-Box:  the leopard print (which is definitely what drew me to this thing in the first place), the bronzers, the intense eye shadow colors... as Ms. Polizzi would say, "It's fuckin awesome."
