Consumerism 1 - Helen 0

I did a dreadful thing the other day, I knew what I wanted, and I knew where to get it. So what did I do? I went and bought it.

My new Swatch watch in black matt, not bad don’t you think? Thank you Colette ♥

Now if only this would be the answer to all my ‘late’ problems…. ;)

PS. Off to Vienna today, so look forward to some Austrian goodies coming soon!

Another day, and yet another Parisian transport delay due to a ‘grave passenger accident’ in coincidentally enough, the MIDDLE of Paris. And where was I? On the other side of town near Nation. Thanks to this unfortunate unfolding of events, the RER train wasn’t working between Auber and Nation - great guys, just cut half the line off… !

Asides from passing the time impatiently waiting, eating an apple donut and sighing mutually with other as agitated passengers, I resorted also to reading a magazine I picked up. Save of the day! Within seconds, I had forgotten about such traffic complications and became terribly excited by…

The new back-to-basics collection of Swatch watches: COLOUR CODES ♥

Matt series - see colors available

Shiny series - see colours available

They are basic and stylish - love it! I am not a massive fan of dramatic and over-decorate accessories, including watches which is why I find the minimalism of this collection so attractive. Coincidentally enough, I currently wear (well, when I actually wear it) a silver Swatch watch that a family friend gave to me as a present.

Methinks however, that it is time for an update! I have my eye on the black Matt one, what do you guys think?

Swatch Colour Codes collection available at €38 each @ Colette
