There's something so magical about spending the day shopping with a great friend. In SoHo, almost every brand you could possibly dream of is represented in one form or another and it seems as is the fashion world is at your fingertips. Strolling from boutique to boutique you become entranced by the new and the possibilities of the future. So much to wear....so little time. These are the treats I picked up along the way.

Michael Kors Rose gold-plated stainless steel watch

$250.00 by Michael Kors at Net-A-Porter

After weeks of window shopping - aka digital stalking - the Michael Kors rose gold watch finally seduced me. I admit it - I am powerless to resist the lure of these stunning watches. They've been gracing the wrists of the stylish for seasons now, but it was finally the rose gold style that made me weak in the knees.

if you're as seduced by the Michael Kors watches as I am, I highly recommend visiting a retailer to view the full collection in person. There are so many face sizes, band choices and even dial differences that it can make choosing between models very difficult. I purchased the style above only yesterday from Lord & Taylor, where the band choices alone were staggering.

What I love most about the style that I chose was that it works well with me proportionally. It's not too large or too small, and will remain a classic for seasons to come. In recent months there has definitely been a resurgence in timepieces - have you made any watch purchases? I'd love to hear about what pieces have made you weak in the knees.

We've dished the hairstyles, the makeup and (of course) the gorgeous gowns from last night's Golden Globes, but we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to the stunning jewels adding the finishing touch to their red carpet looks.

Emily Elizabeth Jewelry Punk Love Stud Earrings

$48.00 at Max & Chloe

Call me crazy, but I've always been inspired by ladies who are brave enough to wear mismatched earrings. When it works - it really works and there's no formula for recreating the look. It's one of those mystical, magical style intersections that just happens.

When I discovered Emily Elizabeth's Punk Love mismatched stud earrings, I was absolutely elated. Designer Emily Elizabeth Kolins makes it effortless to wear mismatched earrings. I'm absolutely head over heels for these earrings. They feel like my special style secret every time I wear them.

While I still haven't been brave enough to try to mismatch earrings from within my own collection, the Punk Love studs have definitely filled this Gemini-esq style void (for now).

Have you ever worn mismatched earrings? I'd love to hear how you braved this style challenge!

Gorjana Horseshoe Studs

$40.00 by Gorjana at shopbop.com

I'm not sure whether it's my equestrian past from Arkansas that's subconsciously sneaking up on me or I'm feeling the need for an extra bit of luck, but I can't get the thought of a darling pair of horseshoe stud earrings out of my mind.

The instant I saw these Gorjana Horseshoe Studs, I instantly knew they belonged on my ears. With brushed 18k gold, these studs are 1/2" an inch wide, which just happens to be just about the perfect size for a pair of studs.

Superstition says that you should always keep the ends of a horseshoe pointed up so your luck doesn't run out - keep those ends up, ladies!

These days, if you were to mention Guinness in fashion circles, people might instantly think of fashion icon Daphne Guinness, but there's another fashion Guinness that has been making quirky accessories since before the magic of the internet introduced us to Daphne Guinness.

Lulu Guinness is a designer best known for her signature clutch - a pair a bright red, lacquered lips. Her style is equal parts quirky, charming and delightful, with whimsical elements like flowers, birds, silhouettes and other feminine details.

My pick for this Holiday season are the Red Pave Crystal Lip Earrings. These studs pack a punch, lacqured & studded with red, they're sure to spice up any outfit that is needing that extra touch. Pair them with a classic red lipstick and you've made the quite the "read my lips" statement.
