 Because it’s Monday, and we all kinda hate Mondays, I thought it would be a great opportunity to make you smile a little.
I already told you that I mostly shop online lately. Well, through my searches I found an awesome online shop. It’s called ORIENT and there you can find all kinds of cool watches, especially watches for men. I’m telling you this because lately, women wear men watches too, at least this is the trend.

Well, the guys at ORIENT  decided to give away a watch to one of you! 😡

Here’s what you have to do:

– kiss someone you love 
– say “thank you” and “forgive me” more often
– follow High Street Cardigans with Google Friend Connect or Bloglovin
– tell me in a comment what kind of watch would you like to wear, a lady like one or a more manly model?


 .

I picked this one for you. I hope you heart it.
The winner will be sort out randomly next Monday.
Goooddd luckkk and start the week smiling!

 .

One last thing…I want to show you something before I go.

 .

HERE IT ISSSS!!! Look down!

This is my present! I got it from Gabriella, who is an illustrator and a designer. You can find more about her on  The Fashion Crayon.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Gabriella, it’s awesome! 😡
Now, go and do what I said for the giveaway, after all, it’s a circle, Gabriella made me happy, I’m passing it on, making you happy so that you can make others happy and…(I’m off base don’t I?).

    I always loved wearing my lover’s watch, thinking that was the best way for him not to know when was the time to stop loving.

    What a lovely giveaway!
    I would love a manly watch because i’m quite bored by my only watch which is a ladylike type.
    By the way, I love the one you have chosen! It’s great for this fall!
    Have a great day!

    I really love mens watches but only the ones with leather bracelet, more clasic, simple watches. I love the one you chose for the giveaway, I hope I win it 😀

    I like a leather strap and a classic large dial (maybe with a few cool looking little dials on the face that I don’t know what they do) 🙂

    i really like men’s watches – they complement a woman’s wrist and even make her more feminine – in my opinion.

    Aww I love the sketch. It’s SO cute and chic. I never got into the men’s watch craze because right when it started, I started my new job and super super anti-fashion (sad day). But I’ve been slowly incorporating more colorful and cute pieces into my grim suits. I’d go with wearing a men’s watch. I think I’d love the statement it would make.

    I think I’d try for a more manly watch, because my others have always been feminine.
    And I love that drawing!

    A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. So whether we choose a more manly watch or a lady one, we need to know how to keep our youth through style because a woman has the age she deserves.
    So i won’t chose, but i would definitely go for a manly watch sometimes.

    Mi-au placut dintotdeauna ceasurile barbatesti. Ceasul meu preferat pe care il port zilnic este un model barbatesc de la fossil cu o curea foarte lata. Imi place mult si ceasul ales de tine 😡

    lovely site…thx for sharing it with us…it’s the first time i’m commenting on your blog, but i’ve been following you for a long time. i visit your blog more often than i visit my university forum :)i’ve hadn’t had a watch in a very long time, but i’ve been window shopping for men’s watches for quite a while hoping that one day i can afford the one that fits my fantasies. i’ve always found something else to buy other than a watch although i love watches, but now that i found this site you recommended i’m thinking of the way to buy one…but not for me…for one person that i love and adore more than anything…my future husband i hope 😛

    Adooooor ceasurile! Mi-am cheltuit mai bine de jumatate din primul meu salariu pe un ceas de care ma indragostisem cu cateva luni inainte… Am si ceasuri girlie, am si un ceas manly pe care il port cu mandrie, depinde de stare, ele oricum au personalitatea lor 🙂 De fapt, ma completeaza pe mine…

    Such a lovely blog you have here… And a great giveaway if I may say so. It always brightens my day when I see one of your posts pop up in my bloglovin list:)
    But let’s get to the point. I’ve always preferred wearing men’s watches because I’ve always had quite an androgynous style, even before the ‘boyfriend blazer’ or ‘boyfriend jeans’ became IT items. This kind of originates from when I was little and I went out with my mom to buy a watch for my dad’s birthday and I fell in love with one from a Pierre Cardin men’s collection. Even though it wasn’t the one we ended up buying, I still steal my dad’s watch and wear it every time I come home haha.

    Pe 14 iulie am primit de la prietenul meu un ceas Fossil, care e intre girlie si barbatesc, daaar, mi-e dor de ceasul meu de la Next exact ca cel oferit de tine de la Orient. Nu ca nu mi-ar placea cel de la Fossil. So, care mi-ar placea? Cel girlie….
    Esti foarte faina, si in fiecare zi trag o privire pe blogul tau!
