DIY: Watch It Fit

A couple weeks ago I went to the Gucci Sample Sale. I woke up extra early on the second day of sales, braved the lines, and in the end I got this little watch for over 80% off retail value. It's actually a men's watch but I liked the chunkier proportions on my wrist.
Dilemna? As it was a men's watch it was a little bit big for my wrist. I wanted to wear my watch right away so I didn't want to bother taking it to a jewler/watch store. I figured it couldn't hurt to try to adjust the strap myself.So I located the arrows on the watch strap.Used a pen/push pin to poke out the spoke from the farthest point to where I wanted to adjust the watch to and pressed against a flat surface. Pushing the pen/pin into the arrow.I removed the 2 thin metal pins to take out the portion I didn't need, while being very careful not to loose the pieces.I matched the metal watch strap up
Then I took the pin and placed it back into the watch the same way that it originally came out. Fat end of the pin away from the arrows.
I used a hard flat surface to push the pin back in. (Actually a hand cream jar). Repeat on the other side.
Voila! A watch that fits!
*Warning* Try only at your own risk.

iWant Gucci Indy Bag


Isn't it gorgeous? Meet Gucci's Indy bag. The Indy bag is available in a variety of textures, including leather, velvet, and snake skin. My personal favorite is the patent leather as shown above.

While shopping on 5th Avenue, Erin and I spotted this bag on Brandi, who works at The CW. The shine of the patent leather and substantial metal hardware caught our attention, not to mention the unique shape. She was kind enough (and very excited) to show us her brand new bag. Up close, the bag was even more incredible! Lots of stunning details - tiny studs, suede tassels, and and a smooth handle.

With the basic Indy retailing at $2695, who knows when or if I'll ever be able to afford this bag, but Brandi made a good point. Some people spend just as much on electronics, which will be outdated in just a few years. While a handbag won't last forever, with care a good designer bag can be passed on for generations.
