Because I'm Addicted Shoutout: The Masculine Gold Watch

We love it when a trend has options at every price point.

We love it when a trend has options at every price point. Today, while catching up with network partner, Because I'm Addicted, we were reminded (just as she was!) of the masculine gold watch trend we've seen scattered about the delicate wrists of young fashionistas. In her post, Because I'm Addicted references a pretty steamy VMan spread in which the model curls up with what appears to be a gentleman's timepiece. Worse loose in a sexy, messy way, or uptight in a nerdy boyish way, we think gold men's watches are a pretty sweet accessory. Here is our pick of a few at a lower price point, for those looking to make an easy addition to their wardrobe.

Scented Salamander Shoutout: Classic

The fresh smell of spring is all around us.
The fresh smell of spring is all around us. But for some of us the question of how we are going to smell like spring is a more pressing issue. The Scented Salamander has a list of 10 Classic Spring Scents for those of us who are at a loss. We are particularly enamored of her suggestion of Diorissimo with its lily of the valley bouquet. It is a sight better than the suggestions we might have come up with ourself which would have invariably involved a boring citrus. Which can only lead to bad things like picking up some grapefruit based horror along with our 5 pack of cotton undies at the Gap. Not that there is anything wrong with a pink eau d' toilette per say but why smell sickly sweet when you can smell like lillies? And if that isn't your scene Scented Salamander has 9 other wonderful possibilities.
