STYLE DIVA: New You 2013 – Right on Time!

Our new “Style Diva” Patty Hughes fills you in on the perfect watches for 2013!

Growing up the wrist watch was always the Christmas gift from my Dad. From a Mickey Mouse watch to Swatch, it was a right of passage.

Watches have become the most important accessory next to the handbag in the past few years. One hot now trend? The big, oversized face men’s style for women, paired with an arm full of bracelets.

To take your style in a new direction in 2013, invest in a new timepiece! Here are three styles to try.

The Classic Watch. A timeless timepiece, the rise in their popularity has been resurrected from TV shows like Mad Men and Downton Abbey. Theses watches have a refined, vintage style. The Cartier Tank watch, favored by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, was always understated with a symmetrical exquisiteness. It’s totally worth getting wound up for as the watch is in every sense the Vogue of watches. QVC has captured a moment time with it Jacqueline Kennedy Classic Rectangular Case Watch (pictured), a replica of what Jackie O. wore.

The Power Watch. The women of 2013 are powerful, confident, intelligent and extremely stylish. Michele Obama, our First Lady, is the inspiration here; her watch of choice for her official White House photo was the Cartier Steel Tank Francaise (pictured left). This watch is polished elegance, with a definite no nonsense approach. Tap into your own power with a similar silver link design from Kenneth Cole (pictured right).

The Business Watch. Kerry Washington, who plays Olivia Pope on ABC’s hit series Scandal, is an ambassador for Movado watches. Nothing says all business like a Movado timepiece. They have a cool-and-in-control vibe, just like Olivia — a work of modern art for the wrist! See the collection at www.Macys.com.

Gift yourself a watch in 2013, and every time you look at your wrist you will be reminded this is my time!
