Previous entry: Asia to Africa Safaris January 3, 2012

If you do decide to go to Kenya, Cheli and Peacock has a good portfolio of luxury resorts to stay in which they own and some of which they manage

I had the pleasure of meeting Stefano Peacock during his visit here in Manila and he introduced to us Cheli and Peacock which is a company owned by him and his wife

The camps

I took some photos from the website and from the presentation and wow, the camps are so beautiful!! And this is just in Kenya!! It is so hard to choose which one just in Kenya because they all have their own charm

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Chinese New Year 2012 – The Year of the Dragon

Alfred Dunhill present a range of products to mark the Chinese New Year and year of the Dragon. Those born under this Chinese zodiac symbol are considered to inspire confidence and as such Alfred Dunhill have created pieces with this spirit in mind. The collection comprises of cufflinks, a key fob and ties.

A polished sterling silver Dragon Key Fob boasts an intricately carved dragon attached to a Alfred Dunhill branded chain with a choice of karabiner or ring clasp. Exclusively designed by Alfred Dunhill, the authentic Chinese dragon is also depicted on sterling silver cufflinks, each exquisitely detailed and hand finished. A pure silk tie in bold red, pale blue or pink subtly portrays a repeat dragon motif and is hand stitched from a single piece of silk.

The dragon sign is associated with bravery, honesty, pride and self-sufficiency. Dragons are irrepressible free spirits and enjoy grand gestures and ambitions.

In the Philippines, Dunhill is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists Inc. (SSI) and is located at Rustan’s Makati, New Port Mall, and Rustan’s Tower, Shangri-La Mall.
