Finding
the perfect Valentine’s gift for your significant other should not be a
difficult task, but in reality it is. Friends have asked for my help on gift
suggestions before and I always tell them to get an ornament that is more
timeless, classy and can be used in many occasions. Some people prefer shoes,
as the size will maintain regardless of your body changes, but there’s
apparently this superstitious belief that giving your partner shoes is like
indicating them to “walk away” from the relationship so maybe, it’s not the
best thing to do. In the end, it’s always scaled down to purses, bags or
watches… or flowers!
Fake
flowers would also be acceptable under certain circumstances =P
Purses
and bags are pretty difficult to choose too. You would have to know your
partner’s taste to choose the right bag. In any case, just stick to classic
black design with good gold or silver colored hardware. However, watches are
somewhat eternal. There’s something about a good piece of watch that a person
can bring everywhere and wear with anything. Buying watches does not have to
burn a hole in your pocket and lucky you (and me) I stumbled across Casio’s
latest collection under SHEEN that is classy, affordable and would look lovely
with any outfit.
I
had to choose from an array of beautiful watches, and to be honest it made me
so fickle! I am a sucker for anything with rose gold, or black and sleek so
going through their catalogue was like wanting to collect Pokemons. I just
‘gotta catch ‘em all’ (nerd alert!). There were so many rose gold watches, with
stainless steel and leather straps that would complement most of my outfit. The
Swarovski Elements just made it even better to add a touch of glamour to the
watches. Most of the watches have date and day indicators, 50 meters water
resistance, stainless steel case or band and some with leather bands.
After
weighing my options, I ended up with this lovely SHE-3029SG-7A
which retails at only RM649! That’s pretty affordable for watches with
Swarovski in it.
I
am in LOVE! Check out the properties that this watch has:
• 50-meter water
resistance
• Day and date indicator
• 24-hour time dial at 6
o'clock
• Cut glass crystal
• Sparkling SWAROVSKI
ELEMENTS for hour markers
The most important part
when choosing a watch, at least for me, is to know that I can match it with my
other accessories and outfit. Watches can make or break your look so it’s best
to know what other accessories do you usually wear, and if the watch
complements your daily look. I love how it looks on my vanity dresser- elegant
and classy.
Okay, I’m not just here to
write to you about my new watch. I’m also writing here to let you know that
