Hello and welcome to my favorite things of 2015, and a link party to share yours!



My 2015 Favorites:

* Timex Herringbone watch I got it this fall and LOVE it. The band is interchangeable so you can switch it to leather, team colors, or fun colors in the summer. It has the indiglo, and nice classic numbers. If it’s out of stock at Target,  I also found it at the Timex store online and if you click on the sign-up for emails at the bottom you will get an email in about an hour for 15% off your first order.
