AMULETTE DE CARTIER
Since the dawn of time, precious materials and fine gemstones have crystallized the virtues that man ascribes to them… Amulette de Cartier is a jewelry creation charged with emotional power. Like a talisman, a lucky charm, a padlock-pledge in which the knowing ear hears a personal wish, a very secret message.
Moving on from the fine gemstone creations, the Amulette de Cartier collection has been enhanced with new, naturally sophisticated precious materials. Now, guilloché gold and snakewood seal their potent mix of sparkling presence and mysterious magic to create a jewel of one’s very own, ringed with gold, at once a promise and a wish.
CLÉ DE CARTIER
Intrinsic to Cartier’s history as a creative watchmaker is a spirit of innovation. A pioneering ethos that has not just brought about numerous technical advances, but also engendered ground-breaking new forms: the square for Santos, the rectangle for Tank… The result is a line of emblematic timepieces that have not just created a new aesthetic, but also stood the test of time. Creativity, passion and pure excellence are the keys to a success that has endured for more than a hundred years. The same qualities at the very heart of Clé de Cartier.
Behind simplicity often lies pure virtuosity. A simple shape. A simple line. A simple gesture. A simple innovation. A simple outline. A simple allure.
COUP D’ÉCLAT DE CARTIER
Launching globally this October is the Coup d’éclat de Cartier. The diamond is imaginatively staged in this capricious collection that plays with radiance, proportion and movement. 
Ablaze in the form of swirls, twists and facets, the light of the diamond is the creative signature of stunning Cartier savoir-faire
ETINCELLE DE CARTIER
The collection of delicate pieces exudes elegance and refined simplicity. The lines of these timeless, feminine pieces are paved with diamonds that are radiant with finesse and graceful purity. 
Wear singly, as a declaration of love, together to radiate joy and light, or independently – just for you.
HYPNOSE
Black, white: contrasting tones which make the head spin – the Hypnose watch seems to whirl Cartier timekeeping into a never-ending spiral. A jewellery watch of hypnotic fascination, its aesthetic appeal lies in the form and power of illusion inspired in its lines. In one stylish yet disciplined stroke, Cartier has created a major new watchmaking classic in the Hypnose timepiece.
The elegance of its oval form, edged with diamonds, is feminine, subtle and definitively Cartier with an essential brilliance. Graphic ellipses of pure, jewel-like white are accentuated by the luminosity of pavé-set diamonds to create a watch that falls halfway between sophisticated evening attire and exquisite day wear.
Movement, perspective, optical illusions… All these and more are encapsulated by the virtuosity of savoir-faire in the black lacquer filling the hollows together with the diamonds illuminating the hours from one oval form to the next.
PANTHERE DE CARTIER SUNGLASSES
With the Panthère de Cartier sunglasses, the popular pilot shape lends its taut lines to the Maison’s emblematic animal, the panther. This is a timeless design created for the assertive, independent woman. An iconic style with unique character and unexpected details, epitomising the distinction of a Maison that cultivates the art of being an individual whilst staying true to a classic aesthetic.
A panther’s head, a three-dimensional jewelled sculpture, emerges on each side of the lenses. The animal’s jewellery finish (black lacquer for the eyes and the nose with a realistic pattern) is a mark of Cartier’s incomparable expertise.
Mirror-effect lenses coated with a golden flash or graduated grey lenses with silver-toned reflections exude style and excellence, whilst the bridge and temples are adorned with a smooth gold or platinum finish in a stunning example of Cartier’s eyewear expertise.
A sunglasses collection distinguished by an exquisitely wild side, this reinvented classic is produced in the Cartier Eyewear Manufacture in Sucy-en-Brie. This ultra-modern setting dedicated to innovation, design and production confirms Cartier’s position as one of the few Maisons to benefit from its own Manufacture, a guarantee of uniquely high standards.
SANTOS DE CARTIER SUNGLASSES
This is a man who loves to move forward. He radiates unmistakable strength, shares his convictions, and is never short on daring. Everything is a question of perspective for this lover of detail, who finds the confidence to guide him across the world within the flawless design of the Santos de Cartier sunglasses.
Aviator style or rectangular, featuring a double bridge enhanced with a touch of tortoiseshell, and lenses that are brown, grey, polarised and graduated, or adorned with a slight flash coating. This is an eyewear collection conceived to define a way of being: a matter of curiosity, a question of desire.
And when it comes to exploring the world, going further, and pushing back the horizon, the lenses are adorned with a “world map” motif, enhanced by a golden flash coating. This special limited edition is both an allusion and tribute to Cartier’s pioneering spirit.
The same precious finishes can be found throughout the collection. The signature of quintessential jewellery eyewear craftsmanship: a double acetate bridge, protruding domed screws, gadrooned bridges, or guilloché lens edges. These are essential accessories, a true declaration of style and independence.
In the Philippines, Cartier is located at Greenbelt 4, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-la and Newport Resorts World. Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
In anticipation of World Food Day on October 16, Michael Kors is pleased to announce a host of initiatives to support Watch Hunger Stop, the brand’s campaign to fight global hunger. Now on its 4th year, Watch Hunger Stop has enabled the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to deliver more than 13 million meals to children in need. This year, there are more ways than ever to help build a world with zero hunger. Everyone can help—because it all adds up.
PARTNERSHIP WITH KATE HUDSON
Actress, author, entrepreneur and humanitarian Kate Hudson once again teams up with Michael Kors to support Watch Hunger Stop. “I’m honored to continue my collaboration with Michael on this important cause,” says Hudson. “We are all responsible for making sure the world’s children grow up healthy, happy, strong and educated and that all begins with eradicating hunger.”
SPECIAL-EDITION ACTIVITY TRACKER
A centerpiece of this year’s campaign will be an activity tracker specially designed to support Watch Hunger Stop. The unique piece will be sold exclusively in select Michael Kors stores and on MichaelKors.com. For each activity tracker sold, 100 meals will be donated to WFP to support school meals.[1] Part of the new Michael Kors Access line of wearable technology, the activity tracker has been specially designed to highlight the cause, with a sleek, understated map of the world on its white mother-of-pearl face and “Watch Hunger Stop” embossed on the leather band. It will be powered by the Michael Kors Access app, enabling you to set goals, track your steps, distance and calories burned, and monitor your sleep activity. Compatible with both iPhone and Android devices, the tracker requires no charging (thanks to a coin cell battery) and offers remote control link functionality so you can take photos, play music and find your phone. Both the men’s and women’s activity trackers will retail for $145, an accessible price point that makes it even easier for anyone to become an ambassador for the cause.
WATCH HUNGER STOP TIMEPIECES
Special-edition watches have been a part of the Watch Hunger Stop effort since its inception, with 100 meals donated to WFP for each watch sold.[2] Both the 100 Series watches, featuring the designer’s iconic Runway watch case body, and the limited-edition Bradshaw 100, feature a detailed map of the world on the face and Michael Kors’ signature engraved on the back, along with WATCH HUNGER STOP and the message “1 WATCH = 100 MEALS.” The watches, in styles for both women and men, are sold exclusively in select Michael Kors stores worldwide and online at michaelkors.com and retail for $295.
SNAP TO DONATE
To mark World Food Day, Michael Kors has created a special Watch Hunger Stop Snapchat geofilter that will launch on October 1. Just stop by a Michael Kors store in the US, Canada or the UK, snap using the special geofilter, and 25 meals will be donated to WFP.[3]
WATCH HUNGER STOP T-SHIRTS
Every year, Michael Kors designs a new Watch Hunger Stop t-shirt to give away. This year, t-shirts will be given away at select Michael Kors stores around the world during the weekend of Oct. 15-16. Best of all, if you “wear it and share it” by posting a selfie in your t-shirt tagged with #WatchHungerStop, Michael Kors will donate 25 meals to WFP.[4]
DONATE IN STORE
Customers will have an opportunity to make a donation to WFP at the register in select Michael Kors stores around the globe during the entire month of October. Just $5 feeds a child in school for a month.
TEXT TO DONATE/DONATE ONLINE
As in years past, users in the US will be able to text to donate to WFP. In select countries, visitors to watchhungerstop.com will be able donate to WFP directly.
ABOUT WATCH HUNGER STOP
Watch Hunger Stop, established in 2013, raises funds and awareness to help achieve a world with zero hunger. The brand’s partner in the effort is the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and funds go to support WFP’s school meals program. In 2015, Michael Kors was named a Global Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme, and this past April he was awarded the McGovern-Dole Leadership Award by WFP USA for his dedicated efforts to highlight and alleviate the crisis of hunger.
“Hunger is a complicated problem, but the simple truth is that if we work together, we can solve it,” says Michael Kors. “Watch Hunger Stop supports WFP’s school meals program, improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children. It’s a cause that should matter to everyone, because in the end we’re all part of the same community.”
Please note that WFP does not endorse any products or services.

The GG Marmont is a design inspired by a buckle that was used by Gucci in the Seventies. It’s distinctive GG detail is one of the House’s strongest and most recognisable symbols. But though the roots of this bag lie in the House archive, the twenty-first century version of the GG Marmont is decidedly synonymous with the aesthetic world of Creative Director Alessandro Michele.
In this new version of the GG Marmont the GG motif appears as the main ornament. The new handbag is an evolution of the original style, featuring softer construction. The models of GG Marmont range from shoulder bags in three sizes to tote bags and camera cases. All come with brass chain shoulder straps featuring a leather detail. And all combine functionality with femininity.
Materials used are calf leather, velvet and crocodile. There is quilting on the smooth calf leather styles – either in a chevron or a cubic design, the latter with the addition of studs. Chevron quilting is also a feature on some of the velvet styles.
The colour palette includes a multitude of hues: black, mystic white, hibiscus red, pink intense, yellow, fuchsia, peacock and dark emerald. There are also models using a combination of colours, notably black and mystic white.
Linings are in beige-coloured microfibre for the leather models, beige nappa leather for the crocodile models and peony-coloured silk for the velvet models.
The metallic elements – notably the GG motif itself – are in antiqued gold, and there is a ‘quilted’ heart detail or GG design on the backs of some of the chevron-quilted bags. For the shoulder bags the closure is a pin closure with a side button, while the totes have a hidden magnetic closure and the camera bags a zip closure.
As well as coming in a myriad of colours, materials and styles, the GG Marmont has been designed with practicality in mind and, depending on the model in question, features zippered or open pockets inside.
In the Philippines, Gucci is located at Greenbelt 4 and Shangri-La Plaza East Wing. Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
Congratulations Tita Nedy Tantoco, Anton @antonhuang111 and Nina Huang @photographsninaherrerahuang @ssilifeph @centralsquareph and Undersecretary Berna Romulo @bernsrp & the Dept. Of Agriculture. I am so glad I made it this time since I missed the first one.
A repeat of the highly successful PHILIPPINE HARVEST AT CENTRAL SQUARE held last May
Once again, the Department of Agriculture (DA) in partnership with SSI Group, Inc. celebrated and promoted the richness of Philippine agriculture through a wide range of exhibitors who presented and sold their products at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street. This time, the food range has been expanded to include and highlight Philippine Spirits.
Philippine Harvest will boast not only of a diverse array of Organic, Artisanal, Natural and Indigenous Agricultural Food products, but also a wide variety of wines and liqueurs made from tropical fruits, honey and rice. “This event will be an opportunity for us to meet some of our farmers, processors, and retailers of premium organic, natural, and indigenous products and spirits that reflect our culinary culture which is at par with international standards,” said DA Undersecretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, Undersecretary for Administration and Finance, and Chair of the National Organic Agricultural Board (NOAB). The three-day agri food fair was an avenue where the public could buy, bring home and appreciate organic, artisanal, natural and indigenous products that are native to our country. The fair was at the lower and upper ground floors of Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central and will be open to the public during mall hours. CENTRAL SQUARE INFORMATION

We enjoyed our tea appreciation afternoon with Enzo Santos – TWG Tea Trainer/ Tea connoisseur. We learned so much about tea
There are 439 teas in TWG Philippines @twgteaph among over 800 TWG teas. The teas are from 28 tea producing countries ( China as the biggest tea producer ) with up to 5 notes. TWG is the Finest Teas of the World #twgteaph #ssilife #H2HSSI @ssilifeph
TWG Tea, the world’s finest luxury tea company, invited both tea novices and connoisseurs to experience the most premium flavors and diverse collections of raw ingredients exclusive to the TWG Tea brand to sate the taste buds. The invitation came with the offering of Tea Appreciation Series that the luxury tea brand hosted for the month of August. It was held last August 18 and 25, from 2pm to 5pm, at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique in Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Center, Makati
At the forefront of luxury tea, TWG Tea draws deep within its vast selection of exclusive flavors and blends to strengthen the Filipinos love for tea. A hearty afternoon pastime, a nightcap beverage, or an early morning cup, whichever way you take it, tea is woven into every aspect of every meal each day, and it delicately enhances the essences of your lifestyle with each sip.
One of my favorite teas in @twgteaph Red Tea! Authentic red iced tea – Red tea blended with blueberries, Nashi ( pear) fruit and blue cornflower. Listen to Enzo and you will find out why i love this tea. It’s a perfect gift for anyone and everyone #twgteaph #redtea #ssilife @ssilifeph #H2HSSI #h2hhealthyproducts #H2HHealth
TWG Tea’s very own Tea Trainers, who will educate guests through tea history, culture, variations, tastings, and pairings, will facilitate the journey between man and tea during the Tea Appreciation session. The teas these trainers will be serving during the workshops are TWG Teas sourced from the best tea producers all around the world, ensuring that participants only sample the best.
This is my favorite tea in @twgteaph – Pu-erh tea ( Chinese black tea) because it’s for weight loss 🙂 It develops a good bacteria that eats fats so it’s a natural weight loss tea. Find out from Enzo who used this tea to lose weight ! It is fermented multiple times ( minimum 1-2years) underground in cellars kept in clay jars. Health benefits are – it lowers blood pressure and it’s a natural laxative. There are different kinds of Pu erh teas and it ranges from P 385.00 to P 2,545.00 per 50 grams. The more expensive the longer the fermentation and the more effective. Though if your body is not used to it its best to start with the mildest- the Imperial Pu Er. You will see results in 2-3 weeks. #H2HTrivia #twgteaph #h2hhealthyproducts #h2hdiettips #puerhtea #H2HSSI #ssilife @ssilifeph
Yellow tea is the most expensive and rarest type of tea. It is produced in one province in China – Szechuan province- in one single mountain range. Harvested only one day in a year. In the past, Only emperors could enjoy this tea and they had to use silk gloves. They used gold plated shears for harvesting and those harvesting must be female virgins. At @twgteaph it is dusted with edible 24 karat gold leaf and costs P14,000.00 per 50 grams (20-25 cups) #twgteaph #yellowtea #H2HTrivia #ssilife @ssilifeph #H2HSSI
In the Philippines, TWG Tea is exclusively distributed by Specialty Food Retailers, Inc., a member of the The SSI Group. TWG Tea Salons & Boutiques are located in Greenbelt 5, Resorts World Manila, Rockwell Power Plant Mall, Shangri-La Plaza East Wing and Central Square, Bonifacio Global City.
