Object love of the day: Gold DKNY watch

Hi guys,
Since I got it at Christmas, my Marc Jacobs watch has been my most prized possession. I wear it every day and it goes with everything: and it's turned me into something of a gold watch magpie. I notice other people wearing gold watches on the tube. I lust after them in magazine spreads. I'm officially obsessed! So when WatchCo.com asked if I wanted to review a watch from their website, how could I resist?



I had a hard time choosing because there were a couple of Fossil watches I really loved, but in the end I chose this DKNY watch complete with chronograph, pearl dial, and diamante around the watch face. I chose it because it's more of a dressy/evening watch that my Marc Jacobs one, and now I have a watch for every occasion!

Like all watches I had to have a couple of links taken out of it, but i'm in love with it already. It's reassuringly heavy, it is thick and chunky (which has the added benefit of making my wrist look tiny) and it's a great outfit focal point. I've been wearing it since it arrived. In fact, I've only taken it off because unless you're a contortionist it's almost impossible to take a photo of your own wrist! As an aside, it was really well packaged, and it also arrived (from the USA) in less than five days: I definitely wasn't expecting that!

What's your most prized possession? Do you have a watch you love, or something else you wear every day and couldn't live without?

Love Tor x

More prizes with the Fabfrocks Reader Survey!

In an attempt to fulfill my very early (or very late, depending on how you look at it!) New Year's Resolution of making this blog a better one, i've started a reader survey to find out what you guys like, what you do, and who you are!

There are only 15 questions, and it takes less than 3 minutes to complete: I can't promise it will be fun (surveys are never fun!) but I can promise i'll listen and you'll see the results, and the changes I make based on them!

As an added incentive to fill in the survey (and make my day!) one of the questions will ask for your email address (but you don't have to provide it if you don't want to!) All of the email addresses I do receive will be added to a big old box and one will be randomly selected to win the fabulous prize above: my way of saying a big massive thank you for taking part!

The prize is a selection of goodies i've received through the blog over the past month or so, and includes:
- A 30ml bottle of DKNY "Be Delicious"
- A very cute button bracelet
- A can of Batiste "diva" dry shampoo
- A Trafalgar Hotel faashion cotton bag
- A Melvita organic facial wash

Click here to take the survey. Thanks in advance for helping a girl out!

Giveaway: DKNY Be Delicious Perfume!

Hi guys,
DKNY Be Delicious perfume is 5 years old. And to celebrate, I have a 30 ml bottle, and a matching make up bag to give away!

It's a great looking perfume: i'm a big fan of a gimmick, so I love the apple label on the bottle, and its apple shape. Of course, before I could give away a bottle to you, I had to have a little bottle to try myself, and I am wearing it right now. It smells Delicious, if you'll excuse the obvious joke! Its very fruity and sweet: I would say it was a youthful fragrance because of it's sugary overtones, which are noticable but not overpowering. It's definitely a day time perfume, as I like more depth in my evening ones, but it's perfect for days in the office, and its smell reminds me of summertime!

To win all you have to do is follow the blog (see the big follow box to your right!) and leave a comment below letting me know what your favourite perfume is. The winner will be chosen at random next Monday (25th October) Good luck!

Love, Tor xx
