it's friday, i'm in love: with my new boyfriend (watch)

My parents are two of the most loving people a girl could hope for. Since my new stay at home momma lifestyle doesn't afford much room in the budget for non-necessities, my mom insisted on getting me a little gift to celebrate this new phase in my life. What a woman. 

When Henry was born, my hubby gave me a beautiful vintage anniversary band the day I went back to work, and my parents gave me a sapphire and diamond (my birthstone and H's) the day he was born. Since jewelry is something I rarely buy myself, and it lasts longer than clothes, technology, or other junk, it seemed fitting for this occasions. 

Allow me to introduce my new boyfriend- the Fossil Boyfriend chronograph watch. 

Back in 2010 when I was great with child, our firm won the Fossil Headquarters project and in 9 very short months, designed, documented, and built one of the most gorgeous projects for one of the best clients out there. I have always loved Fossil's products, but that process showed all of us in the studio how creative and authentic their people are.  All the more reason to continue giving them my business.

Things I love about this watch:

• The gold tone is perfect. Not too flashy. 
• The classic chronograph look will never go out of style
• The bands are interchangeable! 
• The price is right. At just $125, it looks way more expensive than it actually is.

 

Fossil was having a crazy sale when we bought the watch a couple of weeks ago, so I managed to get 2 of the 3 extra bands for free.  So far I've been loving the metal band, but will likely switch to the silicone ones once we enter the hot, humid Texas summers. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. If you don't have a boyfriend, just go buy this one.  It'll keep you warm at night.

XOXO
