I have been drooling over La Mer watches since I first spotted one as I was window shopping on Urban Outfitters a while ago. Window shopping online is one of my favorite pastimes, and safer than shopping in real life. In real life, I can find something and then wander around a store convincing myself that it is okay to buy it and then do so and then hit the food court for something fattening because why not? I'm already broke lets add fat to that list as well.
But when you shop online, shit starts to add up. Shipping is always an insane amount. Unless I'm being enticed with free shipping if I spend only $15 more! So yes, lets do that! And then I ALWAYS forget about tax. So by the time I'm ready to submit my order, I've scared myself away from purchasing anything and now I'm going to drive to the food court just to be fat because I'm still feeling sorry for myself, this time for not purchasing anything. See how quickly things spiral?
And then. THEN. One of the hundreds of newsletters I've subscribed to over the years made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Refinery29 has what I've been calling a "fancy groupon," also properly known as Refinery Reserve. A coup for a La Mer? Hell yes. I snatched that sucker up without even thinking more than three times about it.
That is how I became the proud owner of this beauty. It's an automatic arm party that also tells time! Which I forget and still bust out my cell phone. It is still a little tricky to put on and I've given up a time or two a la Samantha in SATC (double high-5 if you know what I'm talking about). But once it's on, I can't help but stare. At my own arm. You would too.

I AM JEALOUS. I've been wanting a La Mer watch for some time now too, and I had NO idea about this Refinery reserve business. I will certainly be checking it out now. And I do the same thing with online shopping! Shopping in the actual store is much more dangerous for me!

oooh now you have me drooling over la mer watches. so gorgeous!
ReplyDelete1st off, this is borderline Grouponer and I am SO proud of you! See, saving is fun bahaha!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, that shit is adorable! And I do have a birthday coming up. Money is no object for our LP, right ;)
Thirdly, are the bracelets detachable? So you can wear them together or by themselves? If so, genius!
So this made me laugh because obviously i do the same thing. i carry the shit in my hands all around the store, put it back and go to the cookie store then go home and think about it until i drive myself nuts. i love this watch. i would feel like wonder woman.
ReplyDeleteYou have great taste. I love the blue and white nautical themed one.
ReplyDeleteOooo gorgeous watch! I love it!
