Hmmm. I am not a watch collector by any means. And this is, by many accounts, a limited number of watches, and certainly not on the designer side at that. But the fact that my friends laugh at me for constantly being on time (to everything and anything) has finally just resonated with me…and maybe it’s because I always have a pretty watch on my hand to stare at,  thus ensuring I’m never behind on anything. And with the likes of these watches, that’s style included.

From Left to right:

1. White One Teaspoon Watch: Tip-on with the December 09 issue of Cleo. Catch it while you can and you too can look fashion-forward for eight bucks.
2. Gold Guess Watch: Searched Europe far and wide for a gold man-style watch. All I could find were pretty dainty ones. Although I expected to pay very little (in comparison to Aussie prices that is) for a Gucci or D&G number, I walked away with this Guess one. I paid more for it in Europe than I would have here, but to date, I am yet to see the same one in gold (although I have spotted it in silver here and there).
3. Guess Patent Navy watch: A preppy little baby I bought in year 11. It was my first graduation to a designer watch…and I am still very in love with it, even if it is worn and torn.
4. Guess light blue watch, with sparkly diamante face: A bargain buy that is still my fave to this day.
5. Jag two-tone watch: A simple piece for the plain jane in me. I love that I can wear it with both gold and silver jewellery. I wear this when I need to feel toned down, elegant and classic. If I could ever afford a Cartier, I’d wear their simple classic silver square watch everday.
6. Pink Fluro Watch: The time piece that is identical to the $345 Toywatch watch, but with a $20 price tag. As seen in Monday’s post, and my fave of the summer season.

PS: And for those checking out my necklace, let me just say that this is 18 carat gold, circa 1993 – yep, I was ahead of Miss Carrie Bradshaw at the ripe young age of seven. My nanna sent it to me from Lebanon, and I have loved it ever since.
