Things I Love: The Statement Watch

Statement watches have been an obsession of mine since I was a youngster. When other girls were getting mermaid dolls and Polly Pockets for Christmas, I got my very first watch (it was a Wittnauer). From then on: I was hooked. The day I go without wearing a watch is a day I will feel completely naked. And I have always, always worn mens' watches. I'm not even sure why, especially since I have like, the tiniest wrists ever. I guess I feel like mens watches (like menswear, engineer boots, or big tough red trucks*) accentuate femininity via the contrast.

One of my favorite new sites to browse in the morning over coffee & cereal before work is The Inside Source. It's a new fashion Web Site in a magazine-style with a clean layout that features great editorial content on the latest trends and designer news. And, it's created by eBay. Way to go, eBay! They did a post about statement watches here which I really enjoyed.

Since we can't all afford the luxurious Chanel J12 watch or the Hermes Clipper, eBay comes in very handy. I myself am a huge, huge fan of Michael Kors watches (and sport #4 above almost every single day) because they're pricey enough to reflect their true quality and craftsmanship, yet are attainable.
