I like having a routine--particularly to start my day.  Every morning (in reality, it's mid-day): I lounge around for a bit after I've woken up, do some light stretches, and pick my clothes for the day. Once I'm fully awake, I brush my teeth, wash my face, and about three time a week I use an exfoliating scrub (St. Ives Apricot--it smells wonderful!). I put on sunblock (muy importante), a bit of eyeliner (Chanel Violet Smoke), some mascara (Kiehl's Marvelous Mineral) and lip balm (Labello Lipcare). I make some toast with agave and apricot jam (delicious!) and check out my favorite sites (huffingtonpost , new york times, a cup of jo, bitch blogs, and feministing) while sipping on some lemon tea. I eventually get dressed, and I'm out the door.

What about you? What do you need to face the day?

I'm really into pairing masculine and feminine elements. And one of my favorite accessories is a men's watch on a woman. I think they look good on most women, but it can be  difficult to get just right. Like many women, my wrist is significantly smaller than a man's. This makes it hard to find a watch that isn't sliding off my hand and/or much too bulky. In the end, I had to resort to a masculine women's watch.


What do you think of this style?
