[Advertorial] IMPULSE

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, how are your preparations coming along so far?

New apparels, new shoes, new bags...

Wait...

Did you forget something?
Yes, accessories!!!
(I can NEVER get enough of accessories because they contribute so much to my outfit!)

If you are thinking where to get cheap finds (Waaaayy cheaper than retail stores) but YET full of choices, then you should totally give yourself a chance to read on what I have in store for you.

And if you are a guy, there is no need to complain too because I am offering more Valentine's Day gift ideas for your other half! Just scroll down and thank me later!

Well... Thanks to IMPULSE, it is possible to look sophisticated without going through much expense. 

The lovely owner of Impulse, Chloe, has generously sponsored 3 different accessories of my choice from her online store, and here they are:

(I totally LOVE them!)

1) A merry-go-round necklace - Item code #N0033

2) A leaf headband (That can be used as a necklace too - I'll show you!) - Item code #H0001

3) Fashion gold ring - Item code #R0001

I have purposely chosen 3 accessories of different categories so you guys can see and compare the varieties:

Let's start with the "merry-go-round" necklace first, shall we?! =)

Top view:

I simply love all the details that are engraved on it. It really does look delicate!

Personally, I am a HUGE fan vintage-looking necklaces. 

They are intriguing because the color and design is made to look old but sturdy.

 And this design was one of the first that caught my attention while I was browsing through the store catalogue.

I am trying to capture every bit of the necklace's material to detail so you can judge for yourself.

It's totally NOT those cheap-looking ones made of crappy material.

 (I ever encountered one which looks similar to this material in retail stores but it broke in my hands, much to my horror!)

Darn, why is there a blue ink stain on my finger?? LOL!

And look at this small wheel-looking thingy at the end of the necklace!

It just adds on the cuteness in general. :)

Pardon the strand of hair across my face. It somehow spoils the picture. HAHA.

But whatever - It's the necklace I wanted to focus on!

 CUTE right? The design really appeals to me because the "merry-go-round" actually 'moves'! 

The mini horses will dangle as you walk!!!

I wanted to capture a full-body photo but it made the necklace look small, so this is the furthest I could go:

I matched it with a black dress of mine and I love the combination!

Somehow black color makes the necklace stand out more:

Let's go the Vintage style! 

LOL.

Here's item no #2: The leaf headband 

I have friends asking me where I got this from when I wore it - So here is the answer in the blog post!

A close-up of the leaf design. In metallic gold.
If you are a headband lover, I am sure this will appeal to you!




One of the random photos I took using my phone's camera while I was shooting this advertorial:
(I believe some of you Facebook friends will recognize this pic! Haha!)

I seldom wear headbands but I totally love the design of this one.
Am considering it as part of my CNY accessories!





And if you are not comfortable with wearing a headband, then pull it all the way down to your neck and it'll transform into a necklace!

SIBEI CHIO!!!

What do you think??

Headband or necklace? You decide! :)

Here's item no #3: Fashion ring

A ring that appears simplistic and yet appealing.

Fashionistas, how do you like it?!

Sturdy material, no doubt!

Here's a method to "show off" the ring if you are wearing it:

-Pretend to yawn and cover your mouth like me! LOL.

SEE? Notice that ring?

Hahaha.

Okay, enough of my nonsense. Here's something important that I have to share here - and I promise you it's something great.
