Michele watches are one of our favorite fashion timepieces. We love the huge variety in shape, style and formality, as well as the fabulous price point. A step up from the fun but ubiquitous Michael Kors watches, Michele watches offer a next level for the budding watch collectress. The Michele Deco watcch in rose gold with diamond bezel and a mother of pearl dial is our current crush, thanks to its rose gold case, geometric shape and smattering of diamonds. We adore rose gold for fall (and diamonds for every single day of the year) – there’s just something about the bright pink tone that recalls freshly picked apples, falling leaves, pink cheeks from the first sub 60 degree day, and other fabulous fall things. This Michele Deco watch features a diamond micropave bezel framings its mother of pearl rectangular dial. The dial, while we’re discussing it, is fully loaded with chronograph, minutes and small seconds dials and a date window, but all the business only works in its favor. We swoon for the feminine grosgrain strap and its equally pretty rose gold buckle, and we’re fairly certain we’ll wear it with absolutely everything this fall. No matter what style we’re channelling that particular day, this Michele watch is the perfect addition to whatever we’re wearing. Case in point: two totally different looks to choose from. This Matthew Williamson dress is the ideal transition piece, a summery-shaped maxi in a fall colored paisley? Love it, and it’s giving us Miranda Kerr vibes. It pairs just as well with flip flops as it does with these Sam Edelman Petty booties and a gorgeous, coordinating rose gold Love bangle to get your arm party started (every boho-chic look needs an army party). On the other hand, if we’re feeling the preppy vibe that fall always somehow seems to bring out in us, the Deco is ready to play. We start off with a steal of a faux leather skater skirt by H&M, then pair it with a sweet silk bow blouse on sale at The Outnet, an exclusive design by iris and Ink. Loeffler Randall’s Quinnie pointed toe flats satisfy our craving for leopard prints, and a classic pair of diamond martini set studs in white gold add sparkle up top (4 carats of sparkle thank you very much). Because leopard print and red lipstick go together like chunky cashmere knits, riding boots and pumpkin spiced lattes, we’d keep a mostly fresh face with minimal eye makeup (a swoosh of DiorShow will do the trick), a swirl of pink blush (cream or powder, your call), and the classic red lip: Yves Saint Laurent Le Rouge Pur Couture (in Le Rouge). It’s a perfect autumn conundrum, and we’re completely torn. Do we channel Rachel Zoe or Blair Waldorf? Luckily, it’s your weekend and your choice: so would you choose This or That?
