She's A Boss Because: She Knows What Time It Is



 

I’m currently obsessed with gold watches with round faces. Here are a few of my faves.

1. Michele $1,695

2. Movado $650

3. Nixon $187

Tropical Storm Isaac has been holding me hostage for the past few days, but I’m finally free! Fortunately there wasn’t any major damage, but there were lots of thunderstorms, cloudy skies, and spotty internet connections. Under these circumstances, my hurricane preparedness plan consisted of watching old movies and walking around in sweats and rain boots. Since there was absolutely nothing too fashionable going on in my neck of the woods this weekend, I decided to spare you the pics of my oh-so chic rain gear (insert hubby’s ‘yeahright’ face here), and chat about one of my favorite work-wear accessories -the watch.
