Their Men’s line seems to have more distinction and character making them a bold and unexpected accessory. Reminiscent of Nooka Watches the time is displayed using a circular graph – the hour is represented as numbers while the minutes are represented as segments. It takes some getting use to to read the time but it is well worth it. Also available in black. Measures: 41mm x 11mm. Price: $110. More Info

This spring/summer I promise myself to buy more flats (that shouldn’t be too difficult) and not wear them into the ground (that’s the hard part). My hunt for flats begins with the Eyelet Ballet Flat by Gap. Made of cotton, they are easy enough to keep clean. The color is unassuming and will match virtually any outfit, while a ruffled detail adds a touch of femininity. Price $40. More Info
