Toywatch gone Timex

lucky me and happy you! 2009

I have couple of minutes on my hands until I party hard tonight, so I decided that I have to post this one this year and leave/save the job of picking up the 2009 highlights for the 2010!

It’s been 5 months since the last time I wore handwatch. Let me tell you, I am highly punctual person who has been wearing handwatch since I was in grade 6. (it must give you a perspective on how hard it was for me to give up on handwatch) But then I met an interesting man in Europe who told me the story of how time worn on hands (his way of saying handwatch) affects people’s natural aura, how people set time on themselves -  I found this thought extremely profound and decided to give up on wearing time on my hand. However, I must say that this decision did not bring me any good during those 5 months I was late more times that I was late in my entire life. I felt that I missed something and now I understand that it was my handtime- so I am back to my handwatch with no regrets what so ever. Though, it’s a great opportunity to update my watch collection with one new piece.

For the past month I have been obsessed with this cool yet not over-popularized trend of white plastic/ceramic/men watches.  In my search for the prefect watch, I went straight to ToyWatch website where I was pleasantly surprised with their great collections of watches just in right shapes and colors and prices. And of cause there must be a BUT and there was one huge BUT. There did not deliver to Canada – I thought then I’d stay enthusiastic and check out the proposed retailer points. Again, me being slightly naive. When I went to couple of the places where they supposedly have to have ToyWatch, all I got were those idiotic looks saying :”Hmmm ToyWatch? Maybe you should try ToyRus instead?” And then I gave up on ToyWatch… I am rather sad because I am absolutely in love with their purple plasteramics.   ToyWatch cool

Then I had that eighties fever and started obsessing about Timex digital watches. Timex80 is the last season’s brand’s update which features metal and plastic digital watches in amazing colors! I don’t know how is that I was not aware of that cool collection before. Nevertheless, I found almost perfect (to me) substitution for ToyWatch – Timex80 Indiglo white metal digital watch! And oh boy, they look great! My strategy to get them? Is of cause eshopping. To my huge surprise (detect sarcasm here), Timex80 website does not have shipping policies for Canada, ie no delivery here. I was devastated! In my despair moment my absolute favorite shopping portal came to my survival – net-a-porter.com is the only place where I can find everything I am looking for!  There they were Timex80 white metal digital watch for only $60! I was over the moon. As a side note: quick delivery(literary 2 days) got here, in Mtl, my watch right before all the New Year parties!

Now I am back on track with my time on my hand and now my time is my new white Timex80!
