I first spotted the Timex 80 on high-end fashion online retailer Net-A-Porter’s website and found it quite amusing that this simple little watch was now being sold next to Christian Louboutins.  But I also have to admit that I immediately wanted one!  Now I have been spotting this retro watch at every high end department store.  I love all the bright colors and whimsical feel of this timeless style.

Timex 80 Pink Blue and Lime Tri-Colour Watch $82.50

The popularity of the Timex 80 has made some of the best colors slightly difficult to track down.  This candy-colored style is my absolute favorite, but I couldn’t find it in any American department stores.  It’s so fabulous!

Timex 80 Metal Digital Watch in White $60

This is the classic white stainless steel elastic strap design…definitely a close second.  This is the perfect casual women’s watch.

Timex 80 Jumbo Digital Watch in Red Mars $60

This is the new Jumbo design from the Timex 80 Universe Collection.  This is an oversized update to the original 1980’s version.  It is also available in tons of fun colors like Blue Neptune, Pink Venus, and Green Earth.

At around $60 per watch and tons of color options, it is definitely tempting to buy one in every color.  You can see all of the available color options for the Timex 80 Classic and Jumbo at the Timex 80 website.

Return of the Classic Timex 80 Watch

I am coveting these Retrosun vintage multicolor Cazal sunglasses.  I love the funky detailing in gold, red, and green on the white plastic frames…so retro!  Cazal sunglasses became popular in the 80s when hip-hop celebrities like Run DMC and The Fat Boys were photographed wearing their colorful and eccentric styles.  I love their designs because they are completely unique and they experiment with shapes and colors that are not usually seen in sunglasses frames.

Retrosun Vintage Cazal Sunglasses $270 at Net-A-Porter

Colorful plastic oversized aviators and vintage styles are really fashionable this summer, so sunglasses like the vintage Cazal are a perfect pick for a combination of the two trends.

Here is a close-up image of the detailing on the frame…love it!

Paul Smith/Oakley Frogskins in Pink Camouflage $325

I am a huge fan of the retro styles, bright colors, and patterned frames that they are using in their design but I’m not so sure that the pricetag of $325 per pair.  Yes, there are two big name designers involved in this collaboration, but these are still just rubber sunglasses.  Limited edition Frogskins in standard colors, like black rubber with colored mirrored lenses, are usually available for around $100, which I think is a very reasonable price.

Paul Smith/Oakley Frogskins in Purple $325

What do you think of these Frogskins?  Does the Limited Edition Paul Smith label make them worth over 300% more?
