LALA EO @eophilippines Dinner ( with spouses ) last night was hosted by Andrew Masigan @ajmasigan owner of @xo46_heritage_bistro  and @arroz_ecija We ate in XO46 in @smaison_conrad and we dined at the private dining room which is the replica of the Malacañang dining room ( with permission of the palace). I met him before but we only talked about food but last night i discovered a little more about him and I like him. He is an economist and so so organized and smart! He does the business side of the restaurants while his wife Sandee @lemonadeideasdoes the creative and culinary side. He has done many things for our country but he never claims fame for any of them – he is always behind the scenes but he has a good  and sincerely wants to help our country progress. Thank you Andrew for promoting Filipino cuisine, for what you do for our country, and one day I hope to work under your campaign headquarters when you run for President #h2hpresidentiables#h2hpeople #h2hproudtobepinoy#h2heoI was the only spouse at last night’s LALA EO @eophilippines dinner but i would say i am the luckiest. I love meeting people and listening to their stories. Last night was Andrew’s turn and we all took advantage and got advice from him because he is really so smart, so logical and so organized. He is not only that but he is also very nationalistic, he even gave us a giveaway which was a Philippine flag ?? Definitely makings of a true President #h2hpresidentiables#eophilippines #h2heo#h2hproudtobepinoy#xo46heritagebistro

Spanx’s Distressed Denim Leggings Are Giving Your Skinny Jeans
A Run For Their Money

Every woman’s wardrobe needs a great pair of jeans. But tracking down the perfect pair — one that hugs the body in all the right places while allowing the wearer to move freely — is easier said than done. Some jeans fit comfortably, only to be loose around the waist or sag around the butt and knees. Others show promise by hugging the bottom and thighs perfectly, but does nothing to complement the female figure.

Spanx just made the search for the perfect pair of jeans a no-brainer with their new line of stretch denim leggings that look great on any body type. With the brand’s signature shaping panel built into the jeans, Spanx’s Distressed Skinny Jeans flatten the tummy without constraining movement — thanks to the jeans’ four-way stretch. And its high-rise coverage eliminates the need to self-consciously pull up the jeans while sitting or squatting, as well as totally banishing muffin top woes.

Your Jeans, But Better

The Distressed Skinny Jeans are a lot like every girl’s favorite pair of jeans, but better in many ways. With a pull-on design sans front zipper or buttons, the jeans create a completely flat front for that perfect silhouette. Plus, it makes slipping in and out of them a breeze.

Not everyone is keen on looking like they’re wearing jeggings, but the Distressed Skinny Jeans are made with fabric that feels just like premium denim. Made primarily of cotton, the stretch fabric has more structure than typical jeggings. And because these leggings have real pockets, they look just like a pair of regular jeans.

Wear Everywhere, From Day Till Night

The beauty of jeans is that they’re perfect for almost any occasion. Because of their form-fitting shape, Spanx’s Distressed Skinny Jeans are especially versatile, as they look amazing with almost any top — from fitted tanks and oversized sweaters to dressy tops. The ripped details add just the right amount of attitude to any outfit, so even with just a plain shirt, these jeans still make a statement.

With its wear-all-day comfort fit and wear anywhere design, transitioning looks from day to night is easier than ever with these jeans. Slip on a casual tee and sneakers during the day, and throw on a dressier top, high heels, and a good amount of bling for a stylish yet comfortable evening look. Spanx’s Distressed Denim Leggings truly are a real “jean-come-true.”

Spanx is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation and available at Rustan’s Department Stores, Debenhams Shangri-la, Rustans.com and Zalora.

Get An Instant Confidence Boost With This Lightweight Body Shaper From Spanx

Most women are familiar with the experience of trying on a gorgeous form-fitting dress only to walk away feeling dejected and wishing that they had the body to pull it off.  But here’s the thing: sometimes, looking good in an outfit can be a matter of simply having the right undergarments.

For every woman who’s yearned to wear a body-hugging dress yet just couldn’t muster up the courage to do so, Spanx OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short is a godsend. This sculpting shaper instantly boosts confidence, empowering women to look and feel their best while embracing their curves.

This powerful shapewear features fully bonded front and side panels that flatten the tummy and create that jaw-dropping hourglass shape. And because of its edge bonded side panels, all that slimming doesn’t leave the body feeling squeezed, allowing to move around freely. Its booty enhancing pockets keep the rear in gear, preventing a uni-butt appearance. This shapewear features a seamless and lightweight design that allows it to stay invisible under tight clothing, so much that it almost feels like second skin.

No Diet? No Problem

Form-fitting pieces of clothing should make women feel and look their best, not self-conscious about their bodies. There’s no question that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important for our wellbeing. But with the right shapewear, no woman ever has to beat herself up just to look great in her OOTDs. By just putting on the OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short, anyone can achieve that perfect shape, even under the most unforgiving of outfits.

Slipping in and out of shapewear may sound like a huge ordeal but Spanx’s OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short features a double gusset opening, making things so much easier whenever nature calls.

Why hide under loose and frumpy clothing when you can look amazing in what you really want to wear? Finding the right shapewear is so life-changing that wearing them even under everyday skirts and dresses makes perfect sense. After all, we all deserve to feel confident 24/7.

THE RIDE TOD’S MEN SS20 

Driving, movement, exploration and speed are some of the key values of the Tod’s brand.

Spurred on by an innate yearning for freedom, Tod’s traveller moves around the world with his Ride Jacket and confident style.

Weightless nylon and leathers; digital-camouflage prints, tailored denim, butter-soft suede materials and finishes serve to take on the wind, any road, due to their total versatility.

Travelling light on high-performance soles and uppers and wearing the new Gommino and loafer models; his itinerary flows naturally, dictated only by the pursuit of high quality.

The Ride Jacket

Tod’s version of the biker jacket becomes a second skin, in ultra-light nappa leather. Slant pockets and double stripes, in tone-on-tone or bold colour block effects, define Tod’s Ride attitude with ease.

New Signs

Hand-crafted geometric elements, leather trims and piping move through the city as the bold symbols of a new ‘outline’ aesthetic. Garments in feather-light suede and cotton Drill embody the fresh style of an urban preppie.

Material exploration

Research into materials takes lightness to extremes. High-performance textiles provide technical luxury in an agile and fast wardrobe in which windbreakers have big pockets; the Field Jacket features leather piping; Pillow-effect bags and backpacks become more tactile and versatile than ever before.

Step Performance

An ergonomic shape and yachting-inspired details have been re-imagined in Tod’s Competition, a new icon with the ultimate in flexibility and bold colours.

The new cupsole on the Sneaker brings softness to every step, together with the new braided knitted technical fabric.

Tod’s Gommino features contrasting piping and the new T: an iconic archive symbol found throughout the accessories, including those with double stripes.

The loafer is slipper-soft with a wrap-around rubber sole for extra impact.
