Celebrate Friday the Power Plant way with this...

I LIKE...

Now that I am deeply immersed into my countryside beat, I am trying to increase my line-up of outdoor gear and accessories. While not necessarily "rugged", I feel that these watches would be a great way to accent my usually drab outdoor get-up...The Too Late line of watches are comprised of waterproof, rubber and colorful pieces of wrist candy. With 15 colors to choose from, these watches are ultralite and come packaged in a unique plastic jar. Nice to have or to give away!

And where can we get them? Only from the accessory haven which boasts of an interesting collection of fashion jewelry made of semi precious stones and even loose diamonds--ACCESSORY LAB!
