Orla Kiely Watches at ChrisElli

Oh boy, am I in trouble. I just discovered online boutique ChrisElli, which appears to have the ENTIRE Orla Kiely watch collection. And let me just say, each piece is FAB-U-LOUS! I think for the first time ever, I'm actually overwhelmed by all the Orla Kiely and I'm having a difficult time choosing which ones are my favorites (I'd love to have them ALL of course!) Check out all the styles below, and shop the entire collection here.

Orla Kiely Watches at Look Again

After a little bit more searching, it turns out that there are a few online retailers that already have the Orla Kiely watch collection available. Let's first check out what's available at Look Again, an online retailer based in the UK.

What to do when every single piece is GORGEOUS?! Oh, how I love them all! I wonder if they will be available for purchase in the US soon. I really hope so! It'll be so difficult choosing a favorite, but once I do, it's going straight to the top of my Christmas/birthday list :)

Orla Kiely Blue Strap Watch

Orla Kiely Blue Strap Ladies Watch
£75

Here's our first look at Orla Kiely's watch collection, which is now available for purchase at British Airways High Life Shop. For some reason, this seems to be the only watch that I can find available. I know Orla Kiely is set to release an entire collection this month, but I'm not sure when. At least we have our first glimpse of the collection, and so far it looks amazing! The watch above has all the elements of a classic Orla Kiely piece - a fun print, gorgeous color combination, and amazing attention to detail as shown on the flower print on the inside of the watch strap. I'll continue to keep a lookout for the rest of the collection (and if you know of any that are available online, please share!) and write up a post as soon as it's officially released.

Orla Kiely at Kohls on Sale


The Orla Kiely stationery at Kohls are now just under $10 each. I know there were a lot of complaints about the huge markup, but now they're all under retail and Kohls is having a Columbus Day sale, where you can save an additional 20% off with code COLUMBUS20. I know these are sold online only, but I recently used the Kohls kiosk in store and, although it was quite tedious, at least I got free shipping. So if you're wanting to purchase the Orla Kiely for Studio Oh! stationery, Kohls would be a great place to purchase them since you can save an additional 20% and get free shipping if you order these from a Kohls kiosk.

Orla Outfit of the Day: Vests

OOOTD:
Forever 21 Vest
AG Legging Jeans
Orla Kiely Sixties Stem Punched Leather Mini Ivy Bag (Thursday Purseday post here)

I am loving vests for this season. I live in a very warm climate, which means I don't really get to wear cute jackets or cardigans that often. So when I found this vest at Forever 21, I thought it would be the perfect layering piece for the fall. I love anoraks and cargo jackets, but oftentimes it is just too hot to wear one here, so this vest is a great way to achieve a similar look and still stay cool :)

I'm glad it's almost the weekend! Sorry for the lack of posts lately - it's been a super busy week for me, and I'll try to pick back up this weekend. Happy almost-Friday!

New Hair Color

What I'm Wearing:
Orla Kiely for Uniqlo scarf

I finally decided to change my hair up this weekend by coloring it - something I hadn't done in about six years. I felt like I was in such a hair rut, so I was looking forward to something different. I knew I didn't want to get a drastic haircut because it's taken me so long to get my hair even this long, and I still want it to be a bit longer for the winter time. I'm a big fan of ThatsHeart, and a few months ago she got her hair colored this gorgeous shade of caramel blonde, and I'd been wanting it ever since. I kept going back and forth, though, on whether I wanted to take on the maintenance of colored hair, but just decided I was desperate for something different so I finally went for it this weekend. And I absolutely love it! Definitely the change I was looking for :)

Orla Kiely AW15: Skipping Girls Applique

I am absolutely loving these Skipping Girls Applique bags, which were recently released on Orla Kiely's UK/Worldwide website. They are so cute and super quirky - two things I love! Each purse features the applique design on both the front and the back, with one girl wearing pink and red and the other one wearing yellow and brown. The handles are made of rope, taking on a quite literal interpretation of the name. The inside features a Linear Stem jacquard lining, and the bag itself is made of vinyl, while the "girls" are made of leather. I am definitely loving the Box Bag the best, with the Flat Zip Purse as a close second.
