ever since i received my daniel wellington saint andrews rose gold watch last christmas i have worn it non-stop. there was a time when i had a watch for every day of the week, but this one has proven so classic and versatile it is second nature to me now to strap it on my wrist every morning.

so when daniel wellington got in touch again this year offering me another timepiece from their fantastic collection i jumped at the chance, knowing how reliable and hard-wearing they are. last year i had opted for the chic, practical ‘wear with everything’ choice, so this time i decided to be a tad more adventurous and, with my trip to the sunny shores of fuerteventura on the horizon, went for the quirky nautical stripes of the classic glasgow lady. those of you who follow my style musings board on pinterest will know that my signature outfit is basically just denim+stripes 247, and given that the only time i took it off my wrist while i was in the canaries was to snorkel (which seemed pretty sensible), it’s safe to say this new model will be vying with my saint andrews on a regular basis!
