Goin Vintage on the Wrist

Ni Hao everyone! How was your holidays? I hope it had been a great one cause mine certainly was~ (despite the chills of my final exams approaching haha)

A personal favourite fashion accessory of mine are watches!!! I can't live without them! I repeat CAN'T!!!! It feels awkward when I'm walking around with a bare wrist. Weird I know... but I just CAN'T~ If people feel awkward not wearing clothes, then my hands feel awkward when they are not wearing watches... hahaha OK OK back to zee main business~

I recently have this crazy love for vintage looking things and watches are great looking vintage accessories that go with any style of clothing. Back in January I had a trip to Osaka, Japan and I was amazed at the amount of vintage clothes and accessories they had there!!!!! It was like Vintage heaven~~ One particular shop was an underground vintage fashion house (yes it was underground.. pretty cool concept I should say) and it had tons of gorgeous looking vintage things! Gaaaahhh! I regret not buying anything at the shop though.... Woe is me...

However, I did buy one watch in Osaka. Tiny but it is a work of art~

I bought this in one of those mini accessory shops located in Shinsaibashi. Its leather is really soft and although the face is tiny, the watch oozes with cuteness~ I fell in love with the watch at first sight! Trust me, watch junkies like me can be very picky with watches... so falling in love instantly with one is a rare game!~
Price range: 2545 yen (after discount)... before the discount it was about 3500 yen... Approximately around RM 110 after deduction~

Watches like these are rare in Malaysia. I'm talking about mini-sized vintage looking watches with cute metal buckles and glitter faces~ So when I came back I regretted not buying another one in Japan... Again... woe is me....

However, recently on a very random visit to KLCC, I found a shop selling vintage watches that looked rather similar to the watches in Japan~ It's a mini stall right in front of Marks and Spencer... It has quite an interesting range of vintage watches and the stuff only costs less than RM100 (half the price I paid in Japan yay!)

This wrap-around cuff watch looks really chic! It was only RM50 which I think is a really reasonable price for a watch.
Bored of the brown straps? This watch came in 5 colours and the red one looked really pretty to me. It has a vintage and punk look to it (possibly because of the rounded spikes....) but this duo appearance of the watch is an exciting feature don't you think?? This one was RM40 and the other colours were black, white, blue and grey.

Fossil has pretty good vintage looking accessories too (watches included). If you are looking for a more expensive and better quality vintage watch, I would suggest that you take a look at Fossil outlets.

So if you plan of owning some vintage watches, these places are recommendable places to visit~
Fossil KLCC, (there are other Fossil stores but I like the ones in KLCC and Pavillion hehehe), mini stall directly at the entrance of Marks and Spencer KLCC, and Japan :p
