This stylish watch is also available in gold or rose (I love them all!). Click the image below to shop.

We've teamed up with Melissa Tosetti, author of the online magazine The Savvy Life, to give one lucky Budget Babe reader the chance to win a copy of her brand-new book Living the Savvy Life, which launched in stores TODAY!

Living the Savvy Life looks at money from a lifestyle perspective rather than a "personal finance" point of view. It's filled with stories of friends and family members who are naturally savvy or have learned to be savvy the hard way. Written in a positive, upbeat manner, Living the Savvy Life encourages readers for the future rather than making them feel guilty about past financial decisions.

It's the perfect read for the new year, especially if one of your resolutions for 2011 is to make peace with your money!

To enter:
