A Watch Lover From An Early Age
Have you ever had that feeling where you believed in something so much that when others said, “just wait, it’ll happen” or “patience is a virtue,” it made you feel like they were completely in the dark?
Welcome to the life of a 6th grader in 1995 when the new Timex Ironman Triathlon Datalink landed and was going to revolutionize the way this student would ace science class! My parents and I argued for months about why I needed a $100 watch and what value this would bring over my trusty paper and pencil. Ultimately, my dad conceded after months of pestering, but he shared in my zest of technology and recognized I would use this watch to its max potential.

It marks the end of the frigid winter and makes way for sunshine and greenery to peek through, although somebody really needs to tell Indiana that it’s supposed to get warm and stay warm. We can finally shed our layers of clothing and toasty heated blankets to hike, barbecue, picnic, and partake in whatever other warm-weather activities we do to lift our spirits. From Easter to Mother’s Day to Memorial Day, it seems there’s always a reason to ... [Read More]

Merchandising Coordinator and resident trendsetter, Anna Brookie, gives some background on the modern-day reemergence of the pearl and how to best incorporate it into today’s looks.
The Pearl, Historically
Everything old is new again, and the perfect evidence of this is the resurgence of pearl jewelry as a high-fashion accessory. The humble pearl has been adorning monarchs as far back as ancient Rome and China as the ultimate status symbol. Flash forward to the 1920s and pearls are christening the rebellious and iconic flapper, and thirty years after that they can still be found around the necks and in the ears of women, with only incremental stylistic changes.
