Tic-Tock: Goes the Pocket Watch

Lets mix it up a little; take it off the wrist and lets put in a pocket, back in the pocket that is! But make sure you’re working with the right one… I’m referring to the pocket watch! Pocket watches are historically the first type of watch to hit the scene; they were here long before the wrist watch and have evolved with the times. Typically the pocket watch can be found on a chain, intended to be carried in the pocket of a jacket or vest. Wrist watches didn’t really become popular until the 1920’s, but before they gained their popularity they were known to be strictly for women. It has been said that men during this time would rather step into a skirt than be seen wearing a wrist watch; but, boy have times changed! The pocket watch could often be found at the end of a chain, think train conductor. This chain was also found overly decorated and adorned “ostensibly” with practical accessories such as a winding key, vesta case or a cigar cutter . While these early age pocket watches were typically found with only an hour hand, time pieces today are found with all sorts of additional time-related features such as timers, chronographs, and alarm functions, calendar days, days of week, year or sub-second units like 1/10 or 1/100 of a second. And some even more modern designs go as far as using GPS technology or heart-rate monitoring capabilities… Oh watch out now!

Cool Hunting: Less is More...

You know how you always want what you either don’t or cant have... well not all of the time but, sometimes right? It just seems like those certain things are just sometimes out of reach... Well, I vividly remember when I was younger having friends that were getting their noses, eyebrows, tongues and belly buttons pierced and no matter how much I annoyed and begged my parents the inevitable answer I always was faced with was a big fat NO! (which today I am thankful for) But instead I went a little pierce happy with my ears, ok not a little, A LOT pierce happy… I pretty much pierced any part of my ear that was humanly possible, I know what you're thinking- a little tacky and maybe kinda gross huh? Well gone are the days where my ears are weighted down with a mess of random piercings, granted they still exist, I can only be found wearing 2 simple studs with my left side tragus. But I did recently come across a look I am totally diggin’ by line and jo and while less is more in my world of piercings these days I am thinking this is one look I am going to adopt! Luv it! Its a simple cartilage hoop linked up with a delicate gunmental chain through the lobe, it is simply stunning in my eyes (see pic directly under blog title)

I have also included a few extra random piercing photos! Enjoy
