Add color to your life, er, your wardrobe with a jelly watch.

WHOLE LOTTA JELLY: When did fashion become so straight forward? Black suit, tan shoes, black leather watch, blah blah blah. Brighten your mood with a Toywatch. The Jelly watch comes in fun colors and the band and head are interchangeable, so when you are feelin’ a little lime green in your life, go for it. When you are feelin’ dark, or even professional it's cool; they still carry black. Barneys.com

PRECIOUS METAL: Head to SushiSamba August 9 from 6-8:30 p.m. to celebrate the launch of JLee Silver, a new line of women’s clothing made right here in Chicago. Nosh on apps, throw back some drinks and watch an informal fashion show to cap off the evening. 312-595-2300.

DIVINE, DAHLING!: Treat yourself to a day of fashion and beauty at Divine Sole Boutique on August 9 from 3-7 p.m. Browse merchandise, try on shoes, let a professional do your makeup while you sip a much-deserved martini and listen to live music.
