We did it. Matching watches for all – sort of. O clock is the latest discovery in my trek for all things watches and original. Reminding me slightly of the Movado bold (though we know we’re not comparing apples to apples), the O clock watches are an original silicone, unisex set of watches. The full initial set is approximately $50, each part being $25. You can mix and match infinitely with the variety of faces, with new ones coming out like mirrored faces and camoflauge. The brand hails from Milan, all of the products are Italian designed. While the silicone isn’t my favourite material (it attracts dust, don’t care what anyone says), I’m quite fond of the minimalistic feel and ease of wear (it really doesn’t feel like anything). The one I’m wearing is called “water blue” (aka teal).

The moment you’ve been waiting for – all this talk about boxing day and here’s the culimination of that fateful day. Honestly, it’s not my tradition to head out at all, but because the other half has one, I’m there with bells and plastic on.

Welcome to my adventure – I woke up at 7am to head down to Eaton Centre – Yorkville – Bloor – Queen West – then King West. Eventful, tiring, and overall, so glad that I did it. I used to work so much retail that December 26th used to signify wearing comfortable shoes and having no breaks. Love that it’s on the other end. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not advocating to go out and splurge, but rather to save yourself money and pent up that buying impulse for a day where you’ll save half the money you would have spent on regular price.

Have a look see at what I managed to haul this season, after the cut.

If I had room in my wardrobe for more jeans, I’d jump on this (that is, if you’re not on the jeggings trend, which I’ll admit to succumbing to). Over the Rainbow is doing some sweet boxing day deals, here are some more deets:

THE DEALS:
50% off all seasonal DENIM styles (All week long LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM!)
30% off all FALL fashion items (men’s & women’s bargains!)
20% off regular stock denim & fashion (Boxing Day ONLY!! SAVE WHILE U CAN!)

I’ll be working away on boxing day – so I suggest you run and enjoy if you can get your hands on these deals (premium denim at 20% off?! Mm..)

Wow, so that title came out totally wrong, sorry. Regardless, Over the Rainbow is offering $35.00 (sweet) off their merch until Christmas Eve (but after that should come Boxing Day sales…right?)

Print out the above to get your $35 – and tell ‘em who sent you (big winks).

There’s something so inexplicably stunning about Trove, a Toronto-based clothing line that appeals to the young and socially conscious. 100% organic cotton. Made exclusively in Canada. Does it get any more sustainable than that? Hmm. Well, maybe. But it’s gorgeous, so that should have greater bearing than sustainability.

Read this line, it’ll make you feel happy:

“Trove is the amalgamation of inspirational people, marvelous places, and creative spaces”

Trove is sold at Canopy Blue, Holt Renfrew, Over the Rainbow and TNT Blu (aka…the finest retailers in Toronto)
