Rosefield Watch Review | The Bowery

Back in July, I was gifted my very first 'good quality' watch (thanks mum)! It was one I'd had my eyes on for months, since stumbling across a photo of one of the watches in the 'popular posts' section of Instagram. Finally, about 6 months later on my 20th Birthday, I had my very own Rosefield Bowery Watch.

Rosefield is an up-and-coming watch brand based in Amsterdam, offering a wide range of affordable, great quality, minimalistic watches. They currently have four styles on offer; the classic Mercer - a mesh chain watch in either Gold, Silver, or the popular Rose Gold; the Grammercy - a sharp-looking watch face with a real Italian leather straight-cut band; the Bowery - with a more classic looking watch face and a stitched real Italian leather band; and finally the Tribeca collection, which is basically a smaller, more delicate version of the Bowery.

As you can see, I went with the Bowery with silver hardware and a grey stitched band. I was tossing up between this one and the Mercer, but I chose the Bowery because the leather bands are actually interchangeable which means if I want to get a new look, I can just buy a different coloured band for about $35 and I'm good!

I've been wearing this watch pretty much all the time since getting it, and because it's a nice, neutral colour and minimal design, it goes with everything! It's comfortable on my wrist, easy to read (especially with my terrible eyesight), and all-round just the perfect everyday staple accessory. I'm already looking into getting the black, pink, and possibly brown and navy interchangeable bands so I can start switching it up.

Also, if you're not living in Europe then this could be the perfect choice for you as you'll get a pretty good discount by not having to pay the European VAT Tax (Bringing the watch down from around $150aud to around $115aud). There's also free shipping on all orders including international orders, even a single $35 band, which is super convenient.

I love my Rosefield Bowery Watch, and I'd love to know what you think of it! Have you heard of the brand? Do you own any of their watches, or are you interested in getting one? Let me know!

It's getting hot here in Brisbane. It was 29 degrees today, and Spring has only just begun! I was actually considering bringing a cardigan into the city for uni today, but I'm glad I reconsidered. I got these shorts from Dissh earlier this year, and I've been looking forward to wearing them again ever since the cooler weather hit - they're just super cute and fun, and I love how they can dress up an otherwise casual outfit.

I also made a pretty amazing discovery the other day - Starbucks Australia finally has my all-time favourite drink on their menu, the Pumpkin Spice Latte! I grabbed one on the walk into uni today and it was every bit as delicious as I remembered!

I haven't been very active here of late, and I just wanted to address that quickly! I've been lacking motivation, and I think that's largely because my blog has been heading in a direction that I'm not passionate about. You've probably noticed an influx of beauty posts - which don't get me wrong, I love a good product review every now and again but it's not what I'm passionate about - along with other random posts that are all over the place. When I started this blog, I wanted it to be predominantly about my personal style as well as travel, with the odd lifestyle post thrown in here and there. That's what I'm really passionate about, and so I'm going to be moving toward a more 'streamlined' genre of style, travel and lifestyle from here on out. I hope you'll join me as my blog evolves to, well, what it was always intended to be!
