INTRODUCING TORY BURCH WATCHES

Tory Burch will continue to expand her empire in women's fashion and accessories. Just a few months ago the company debuted its logo themed Fitbit bracelet and now it's a new watch collection. 

Tory Burch teamed up with the Fossil Group to create the timepieces and has been working on the project since February 2013. The Fossil Group currently produces watches for designers like Burberry, Marc by Marc Jacobs, MICHELE and Michael Kors amongst many others. 

The watch collection will range in price from $350 to $695. So prepare on handing over your weeks paycheck if getting one of these watches. There are currently five styles in the collection. The Tory, Reva, Buddy, Izzie, Sawyer and the $995 limited edition watch; The Robinson. 

My two favorite watches from the collection are The Tory and The Reva. I like the mixture of classic and modern that the watches embody. I also love the iconic logo dial that The Reva watch has. As a plus, each watch style comes in an array of colors so you have plenty of options. 

The watches will be sold at Tory Burch stores, Toryburch.com and exclusively at Nordstrom. You can pre-order your watch now if interested or wait until October 1st when the collection debuts.

The Limited Scandal Collection: Fabulous & Fierce

(@ScandalItalia via Twitter)
I started watching the TV series Scandal this past year. After watching a couple of episodes, I was hooked. I managed to watch 29 episodes in a matter of a month to catch up to the current season. While watching this show, what really captivated me was Olivia Pope's wardrobe (Kerry Washington). Costume designer Lyn Paolo surely knows how to put an outfit together. She manages to make Olivia Pope look feminine, delicate, powerful and sexy, all at once. All those white and ivory suits, sexy gowns and amazing trench coats...oh I could go on and on. 

So when the bombshell was dropped back in June, I jumped for joy. The Limited was going to be launching a Scandal Collection designed in collaboration with Lyn Paolo and Kerry Washington. All those stunning outfits now within my reach and budget. 


(@Kerry Washingston via Facebook)
Ever since that announcement, I have been eagerly waiting for a sneak peak or a lookbook. We were shown two sketches, swatches and most recently the Scandal Collection clothing tag. Overall, there hasn't been much information released. That was until this past Friday, when finally we were given a sneak peak into the collection. ET News aired a small segment into the Scandal inspired fashion line. YES!


The outfits are beautiful. I love the neutral palette and rich fabrics of the tailored collection. The line consists of suits, coats, gloves, dresses and gowns. There will be 78 pieces ranging from $49 to $250. I hope they release a lookbook soon so that I can make my wish list and strategize. The collection inspired by the drama series Scandal arrives in stores and online September 23rd. Gladiators, mark you calendars!

Essentially Green


To be honest, I wish I had the time to make myself fresh juice or a smoothie but the reality is that I don't. That's why I was very happy when I came across these Evolution Fresh juices and smoothies. Now I try to have at least one every week. One of my favorite flavors is the Sweet Greens with Lemon. With the Evolution Fresh juices I truly taste a "homemade" natural flavor to them. I have tried other bottled fresh juices in the past but have never really liked the taste. Additionally, they are healthy drinks made from natural vitamin rich ingredients. The Sweet Greens And Lemon juice that I like contains celery, apple, cucumber, spinach, romaine lettuce, kale, lime, lemon and parsley. 


Evolution Fresh is a Starbucks subsidiary company that produces juices, smoothies, snacks and healthy meals. Evolution Fresh juices are cold-pressed instead of heat-pasteurized.

"It’s our way of helping protect the flavor and nutrients of the raw fruits and vegetables we bring into our juicery. No added colors or flavors nature didn’t put there. Just our favorite produce, tasting as close to fresh picked as possible with minimal processing." 
- Evolution Fresh 

The Evolution Fresh juice and smoothie line consists of 26 drinks and can be purchased at Starbucks, Evolution Fresh Kitchens or grocery stores.


Have any of you tried these drinks?

Elie Tahari for Kohl's


Yes, you heard that right. Elie Tahari has partnered with Kohl's as the next DesigNation designer. Are you excited, because I'm excited. I have no idea how I didn't know about this collaboration but I'm glad I found out before it's too late because this collection is sure to sell out. Elie Tahari is a very talented and sought after designer known for his clean tailored designs, keen eye for details and use of rich fabrics.

The Elie Tahari Kohl's Collection was inspired by the urban sophistication of the one and only New York City. It consists of dresses, sweaters, blouses, cropped jackets, knit tops and bottoms in shades of black, blue and ivory. This line will range in price from $40-$175, which is a bit more expensive than previous DesigNation designers but it's well worth it. Ladies mark your calendars, the Elie Tahari Collection for Kohl's will be available September 26.
