CD - I wore my Reverso nearly every day from 2000 to 2007. Then my partner bought me a Cape Cod for my birthday last year, so I have worn that a lot since then.

I really like my Reverso - it has a metal not a leather strap and I find it really easy to wear every day, kind of low key glamour IYSWIM. But now my partner has bought himself a Reverso and I kind of balk at the twin look

Anna8888 · 24/06/2008 16:18

That's not true Cod - there are style things people do here that are vile and I would never dream of adopting.

But it's always interesting to compare assumptions about what is and isn't stylish from one culture to another

expatinscotland · 24/06/2008 16:18

Jewellery - big black gothy type cross

Skincare - serum, eye cream, spf moisturiser (it's horrible though and I need a different one)

Make up - foundation, under eye stuff, Mac shale, bit of blusher.
