The Perfect Valentine



For Valentine's Day, Chris and I decided to treat each other to a pair of Daniel Wellington watches. And can I just say that... this watch is the dream. They're both such stylish and chic pieces that go so well with anything and everything. We've had our eyes on them for a while now so when the occasion presented itself (cheeky.. oops) we just had to get them. We both decided to get ones with NATO straps because they're more casual and we preferred them for everyday wear.


I absolutely adore this watch. It makes a gorgeous accessory, and goes so well with my personalised Thomas Sabo Love Bridge bracelet that was gifted to me by Chris on my birthday. I used to be quite conscious about wearing watches because when I was much younger (think around ten) I used to have one of them big and bulky Casio watches that I wore everyday to school, and it ended up giving me a tan line!! ... It took ages for the tan line to completely disappear and since then I've always been kinda scared to wear a watch. But let's just say that fear is completely out of the way now ever since the first time I tried on this baby - I wouldn't let it go, and kept thinking about it for days!


Chris and I managed to get our Daniel Wellingtons at Boutique, which had 10% off student discount. I'm absolutely in love with my watch, and I can tell Chris is too - I've caught him a few times waving his arm in the most exaggerated way just to look at it... hehe.

I am wearing the Classic Winchester Ladies Watch while Chris has the Classic Glasgow Mens Watch. They both suit each of us perfectly. What more can I say? ... They're stunning.

If you've not jumped onto the Daniel Wellington bandwagon - what are you waiting for?

    1. I agree! I used to be really afraid of wearing watches in fear of them making my arm look short and stubby but my new Daniel Wellington watch has definitely become an everyday staple accessory in my life! :) xx
