I’m verrry excited to share with you a little sneak preview of Achica.com’s incredible watch sale starting next week. I have written about Achica before on the blog, but if you don’t know them, Achica is a members-only home & lifestyle discount website, which does daily sales lasting for just 48 hours. Every so often they have amazing fashion sales, like the Chanel vintage jewellery one a few months back, and now they’re back with another winner.
I have always loved the Hermès wrap watches, as they’re such a timeless classic. They somehow seem to transcend age and trends – I know girls my age and I know women my mom’s age who have one of these and they all look supernice wearing them. If like me you don’t like wearing too much jewellery around the wrist, a wrap watch takes care of your watch or bracelet dilemma.
A selection of the Hermès watches goes on sale on Feb 4th at 7am (there’s a great purple strap one in there), with some for the boys as well (by Bremont and Technomarine), all at up to 50% off. Perfect Valentine’s Day gift if ever I saw one.

It’s funny how a brand can completely change your perception of it by having a great ad campaign. Vero Moda have not been on my radar much since its launch in the UK last year, to be honest. Now they’ve recruited Alexa Chung as their new face, and after seeing the images of her rocking the Peter Pan collars, sweet dresses and girly cardigans, I think I might need to pop in stores soon!
I’ve not been a massive Alexa Chung fan for some time now, but I have to admit she really makes Vero Moda look incredible in these snaps. Shot in her new adopted home of Brooklyn, NY, Alexa gives the brand all the cool and understated edge she’s famous for. The girl sure knows how to make a simple white shirt look good…
