It’s Wacky Watch Wednesday — and Rob is on his way to Alaska to fish, but not before a last-minute FaceTime call to talk WATCHES. 🎣⌚️
Today we’re seeing double…
⚓️ Rolex Yacht-Master II in 18K yellow gold — bold, sporty and unmistakably Rolex.
⚓️ Rolex Yacht-Master II in stainless steel — same iconic regatta watch, completely different look.
And for the ladies…
💕 Cartier Ballon Bleu in two-tone rose gold and stainless steel — elegant, feminine and one of those watches that works with absolutely everything.
💕 Rolex Lady-Datejust in stainless steel and rose gold with the fabulous pink anniversary dial — the one with ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX across the dial. Because sometimes one Rolex just isn’t enough. 😂
Apparently I’m in a yellow-and-pink mood, so I had to add a little color…
💛💗 Chanel ombré bag in excellent condition — pure summer fun.
And if you’re not quite ready to let summer go…
🌴 Louis Vuitton OnTheGo Miami Pool limited edition — and we’re selling it for about HALF of what we’re finding it offered for online.
Watches, Chanel, Louis Vuitton…and Rob somewhere between Houston and Alaska.
Next Wednesday he’ll be back — hopefully with halibut and salmon. 🎣

Happy Tuesday! Rob’s away, and apparently I’m in the mood to sell everything in the store. 😂
So I walked around and pulled a few things that I think are extra special right now:
⌚ Audemars Piguet Royal Oak — One of the most coveted watches in the world and certainly not something you can simply walk into an AP boutique and expect to buy.
🔴🔵 Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” — An iconic Rolex GMT that is no longer in the current Rolex catalog.
🖤💙 Rolex GMT-Master II “Batgirl” — I still don’t know what makes her a “girl,” because I think this watch looks fantastic on a man or a woman. I gave one to Rob for his birthday a few years ago!
👛 Hermès Constance wallets — One in light pink and one in white, both offered for less than retail.
💕 Chanel Wallet on Chain — Pink and in excellent condition. Such an easy way to add a little color without committing to a larger bag.
🎀 Hermès Twilly scarves — These little scarves are so fashionable right now. Wear one around your neck, tie it bandana-style in your hair, or add it to a handbag.
🤎 Hermès Evelyne III & TPM — Both in highly coveted neutral colors. Easy, understated Hermès bags that you can actually wear every day.
✈️ Chanel Deauville Medium — One of my favorite travel bags. Roomy, chic and easy to carry.
Apparently, when Rob leaves town, I start shopping our own store for all of you. 😂

It’s kind of chic to admit you don’t have it all figured out.

It’s kind of chic to reinvent yourself when the plan changes.

It’s kind of chic to be a business owner and admit that sometimes it feels incredibly lonely.

It’s kind of chic to redirect. Refocus. Rebuild.

It’s kind of chic to realize that experience doesn’t mean you always know what comes next.

It’s kind of chic to be open to change—even when you’re tired of changing.

It’s kind of chic to learn something new when you thought you’d reached the point where you wouldn’t have to.

It’s kind of chic to let go of the way you thought things were going to be.

And maybe it’s kind of chic to be vulnerable enough to say that entrepreneurship isn’t always about having the answers. Sometimes it’s about finding the courage to figure them out all over again.

I’m still figuring it out. And maybe that’s part of owning a business, too. Here’s to figuring it out together.

It’s Wacky Watch Wednesday... and today we’re so wacky we’re talking only watches.🎉
Today’s lineup features some of the world’s most coveted timepieces:
• Cartier Mini Tank Française in Yellow Gold
• Vacheron Constantin Overseas with Blue Dial, complete with box & papers, in as-new condition
• Patek Philippe 5270J Grand Complication featuring a perpetual calendar, moon phase, and chronograph. The perpetual calendar automatically accounts for leap years and won’t need a date adjustment until 2100.
I’m wearing turquoise in honor of the not-so-blue waters of Alaska, where Rob is headed for a fishing adventure.
If one of these exceptional watches belongs in your collection, call us at 713.977.7296.

It’s Wacky Watch Wednesday... and Rob may be feeling a little wacky today.
Maybe it’s because he couldn’t decide between two favorites—a Rolex Wimbledon to match his Wimbledon polo or a solid yellow gold Yacht-Master II. Some decisions are just too difficult.
As for me? I’m keeping things simple. I’ll take the Hermès Birkin 40 in Étoupe with palladium hardware—brand new, in the box, and one of the most timeless handbags ever created.
So... who’s winning today’s style showdown?
⌚ Team Rolex?
👜 Team Hermès?
