We’re probably years behind on these things, but fuck it, we love ‘em. Toy Watch Company’s Fluo and Crystal watch collections. Built from high strength polycarbonate plastics, TWC’s watches copy the style of iconic Rolex designs including the Submariner and all feature the classic Rolex designed Oyster Bracelet making them light, stylish and practical.

According to statistics there’s a new blog created every second, but according to Kartel 99% of them are pish. Thats why when we come across a blog like Kingdom of Style it makes us feel all warm in side. Published by two girls about town, Kingdom of Style is a fashion and design blog for the ladies, covering everything from high street to high design with the odd bit of street style thrown in for good measure.
The ladies have kindly agreed to bring their expertise to the table and start a regular column for Kartel which is coming very soon, but in the mean time check out their blog at http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk.
We’re a little bit late on this but if you’re in the Manchester area tonight then you should definaltly mosey on over to the opening event at the brand new Carhartt store on Oldham Street.
