TMBR Wood Watch Review

A few weeks ago, TMBR wood watches reached out to me to collaborate. While I enjoy such partnerships, I'm very particular about what I share with you all here because authenticity is important to me and as such, anything I share with you has to be a natural fit into my mostly classic wardrobe as well as something I'd truly recommend. After having the opportunity to wear it on a few different occasions, I can say that my new rose gold wood-face helm watch fits that bill, TMBR also has a handful of other beautiful women's wood watches. What I like most is that it's so versatile for everyday wear because the face is light and simple, the brown leather band adds a bit of a casual aesthetic but the rose gold balances it out as it adds a feminine vibe, it's also affordable at under $100. A classy woman should invest in a few different watches for her wardrobe to coordinate with various outfits. I like how this one is different than the others I already own, a great addition to my collection. Here's a look that I wore recently on a cooler California day.

It's no secret I love the weather here in the Bay Area, one day we'll get an 85-degree dose of blazing sunshine perfect for spring days by the pool, and the next we'll be back into the 60's and layering up once again. I wouldn't have it any other way-I appreciate the variety as I really enjoy wearing layers. I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago to check in on a few properties we were staging that happened to be under renovation. As much as I gravitate to heels for my professional attire there are days where I have the ability to dress down more casually and flats just make more sense in terms of safety. I've been living in these sneakers lately, especially walking up and down steep hills in San Francisco, while in homes under construction still and while on-the-go with my busy preschooler. Although I often use my phone to keep time when running from appointment to appointment, I still prefer to wear a watch, so this one has become the perfect addition to wear on more casual days.

My sweetie could tell you that I've literally been living in these skinny jeans on weekends, which you may have noticed if you follow my insta stories. I purchased them in black as well as the dark wash several months ago and wear them so often that I just bought another identical pair of each color as they're currently 40% OFF right now so it's like getting a pair for free. They have great stretch, fit true to size (for reference I'm wearing a size 4 tall). It's hard for me to find long jeans that fit like a glove in a longer length so when I discovered these which are super soft and comfortable, I knew I'd be buying them in more colors-they also come in white which is a staple for summer. For the past couple months I think I've worn this Tory Burch bag nearly every day as I love the adjustable strap which can be worn longer over the shoulder, cross-body or doubled up like I'm wearing it here. It's the perfect size, fits all of my necessities and is so versatile that I can go from a day of client meetings in a dress or suit to dressing up a pair of jeans after hours, it is the perfect classic go-to bag in my opinion.

His & Hers Watches (Cyber Monday Sale)

{Karla's watch / Paul's watch}

When I invest in accessories for my wardrobe one of the things I always consider is how often I'll use the item in question. For that reason I always spend a bit more on handbags, shoes, sunglasses and timepieces. Likewise, when buying gifts for others, I tend to gravitate towards things that I know the recipient will truly use often, I'm practical that way. ;)  Watches make a wonderful surprise under the tree for everyone from a significant other to mom, dad or even a sibling or very close friend. It's good to have a few different watches on rotation in your accessory wardrobe as no one watch will coordinate with every single outfit.

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite classy watch brands with you-Fossil! I've been wearing Fossil watches for over a decade and my husband now wears them too (thanks to me introducing him to them). We both love them for the same exact reasons-they're stylish, affordable and durable. It makes buying or gift giving hassle free as you know you're buying quality. They are currently running a Cyber Monday sale which ends Dec.8th for $25 off $150 OR $50 off of $200  which should show up automatically at checkout but you can use code: HOLIDAYTIME. In addition, they'll provide free shipping +free returns when purchasing from the Fossil website.

Paul and I had some fun selecting our favorites and compiled His & Hers Fossil watch picks for you. I personally tend to lean towards chronograph watches-I just think they provide a sophisticated look but I like to have a little bit of bling around the dial or on the face itself to add a bit of glam. My husband on the other hand likes the perfect mix of watches that are a bit sporty/casual but also work with a dressier outfit also. The photo at the very top is of our current favorite watches. White can be worn all year round so why not, right?
