What to Expect from Marc by Marc Jacobs this coming Fall 2010

Marc Jacobs moves away from his previous year’s 80’s-inspired collection to a more subdued, conservative look for his diffusion line Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2010 collection. With an array of casual chromatic pieces, the fashion forward designer caters to stylish students at the same time maintaining his seat as the leading trendsetter. With the fashionable workaholics in mind, Jacobs put his mark on the ever-comfortable jersey material, versatile cottons, and even experiments with crochet thread for the Bronte Lace top which ended up as the most coveted piece by notable fashion magazine editors.

The most romantic piece amongst the “army surplus” garb stood out to balance the other-wise somber toned collection that included olive green twill shorts, black satin pants, and shadow grey wool sweaters. Editors also saluted the Reilly Heringbone set as commander of the military inspired collection seeing that it was perfect for the working woman. Overall, this well-received collection was commended for its versatility and “wearability” being that it presented a wide range of casual and formal items such as trousers, button downs, and outerwear. The structured silhouettes and geek chic vintage styles carry a certain “timelessness and enduring” quality that will be popular among today’s youthful urbanites.

Nikki’s Charity Project

By | For kids, Giving Back | 4 Comments

Heart2Heart has little angels too!  My niece, Nikki, who is only 10 years old is starting very young!  Nikki organized to donate school supplies for the school of her Yaya’s children.  What a great idea.  Even my husband always tells me that we do not have to look so far to help others…our household staff who work for us and dedicate their lives to our family need our help too.  

I am so proud of her and I am sure this is because of her mom’s influence on her as she too is an angel 🙂

Spirited Dressing with Springfield Man & Woman Fall Winter Collection

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Exude cosmopolitan living with the Autumn-Winter collection of Springfield

This season, men are in for diverse clothing that stays true to the theme of relaxed casual while the women go back to the 90’s with silhouettes and tough chic look with a feminine touch.

Springfield Man comes in three very different styles, all inspired by active lifestyle. Sport the free spirit of Route 66 from Beatniks, and take cues from On the Road by Jack Kerouac (Beat Generation’s staple reading), with the Free Rider collection.  Wear designs inspired by American folk music, shirts in stripes, and trousers in washed vintage tones made comfortable to quench your thirst for adventure.  Show an air of mystery with the Beat Thrill collection.  Slim silhouettes, dark colors, and technical fabrics dominate this urban collection, noting every piece down to its details.  New Varsity is college style with a twist. Varsity jackets, polo shirts, rugby and Oxford shirts and trousers rule this university-inspired collection that reflects an air of optimism, youth and sports with the legendary school colors of blue, red and green.

The Springfield Woman collection highlights the feminine look in two different ways.  Ladies go back to the grunge style reminiscent of the year 1990 with the Nearly 90’s collection.  Remember the good old days of laidback, casual clothing with skinny pants, bermudas, and boyfriend shorts paired with boxy or tight tops.  Make your waist the center of attraction with flower prints on dark bases and styling that shouts “let’s rock!” with black tights matched with rock and roll shoes.  Bring back distressed jeans and acid washed garments of the 90’s with a more feminine flair in this collection.  Don the staple French fashion editor’s outfits with pieces from the Classic Rebel collection.  Classic items juxtaposed with “biker chic”-inspired garments dominate this new mixture of style.  Laces and bows look tougher amidst denims, blacks, whites and greys in this collection.

Dad’s Birthday Celebration at Shang Palace

By | Celebrations, Foodie | 3 Comments

We all treated dad for his birthday last week!  This is one of the best Shang Palace dinners for me because we had dishes which we were not the usual and we had never ordered these dishes before.   Heart2Heart liked them all 🙂 Thanks to John for choosing the food! We had sweet and sour pork but this time with walnuts.  The cod fillets with barbeque sauce was really good and is one of my favorite now, we also had it when we had lunch with Tita Vivian ( Shang Palace with Tita Vivian and Tats Sept 10, 2010). The stir fried noodles was so good especially with the bagoong on the side!  And the Prawns which we normally have with mayo ( Prawns salad ) , this time was with orange sauce.  Yummy! 🙂
