Oliviers & Co Introduces the 2015 Olive Oil Collection

By | SSI Group Inc | No Comments

It’s been a little over a year since the SSI Group introduced France-based olive oil company Oliviers&Co. to the Philippines and redefined local kitchens everywhere.

O&CO 2015 Olive Oil Harvest Launch

As Oliviers&Co. settles to be a regular in local cooking, the company continues to innovate and surprise the palate with new concoctions.

This year, 10 new olive oils have been meticulously selected as part of a new collection that offers deeper eloquence to dishes, as we introduce the 2015 Olive Oil Collection.

Putting quality to the fore, Oliviers&Co. is renowned for its superb catalog of gourmet olive oils, condiments, and seasonings, committing to only the finest ingredients and sound processes. With sensory analyst Eric Verdier and CEO Albert Baussan as guardians of the company’s hard-earned and well-deserved reputation as the best in the industry, Oliviers&Co. continues to push for precision—from hand-harvesting the olives to tasting pre- and post-bottling with a third test at the boutiques and finally, to packaging. Verdier measures the oils “by taste, by nose, and by luminescence.”

From a humble history of affiliating with families and small cooperatives to now partnering with 300 mills in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and Portugal, Oliviers&Co. maintains the standards that have made them invaluable to internationally acclaimed chefs. Outlets in Central Square, Bonifacio Global City, and Greenbelt 5, Makati City, make this elegant culinary must-have accessible for Manila cuisiniers, too, and it’s quickly become a pantry staple. Now, even home kitchens can have that sophisticated touch of flavor, thanks to Oliviers&Co.

 The Agrolaguna is a rare oil from Croatia. Leccino and Picholine olives create a smooth but intense taste, and a flavor that’s both vegetal yet nutty makes it a versatile ingredient for vegetables, meat, cheese, and even desserts.

More delicate profiles like seafood and chicken breast benefit from an oil like the Moulin La Cravenco, which was harvested from Baux de Provence, France. It’s exceptionally creamy—almost like butter—and with sweetness reminiscent of apples, it would also complement baked goods and fruits.

Oliviers&Co. also bottle oils in the tradition of the finest wines, identified with the label “Grand Cru.” One of these is the Monva olive oil. This Spanish gem comes with robust tart notes that could certainly inject life in lighter fare or add extra zing in ice cream! The Sao Sebastiao, from Madural Cobrancosa, and Verdeal olives, hails from Portugal. Undertones of dry grass, olive leaves, and tomato leaf bring out the best sides of cooked vegetables and meats like veal, chicken, and beef.

Oliviers&Co. prepares their oils in small, limited batches, and this set is no exception. Whatever you’re cooking, you’ll find that nothing can better articulate flavors than Olivers&Co. It’s truly a testament of taste, in all aspects.

Swarovski Winter Gardens 2015 Collection

By | SSI Group Inc | One Comment

Though Swarovski is known for the decor and home line, they have many beautiful jewellery pieces which are not only for decoration or collection but can be worn and showed off 🙂  SWAROVSKI'S FALL WAINTER 2015 - WINTER GARDEN COLLECTION  (1)

Each new season brings with it the opportunity for Swarovski to present a versatile, on-trend collection that speaks to the needs of modern and multi-faceted women. Enhanced by the touch of glamour and sparkle that is Swarovski’s signature DNA, the Fall/Winter 2015/16 Winter Gardens collection takes inspiration from nature and more precisely, from gardens.

Nature is an endless source of inspiration, and after celebrating flowers in our latest Spring Summer collection, we now take flora and fauna to an autumnal interpretation. I was inspired by textiles portraying an idealized nature such as the vintage tapestry of English manors, the dévoré velvets, as well as the ornamental lace which presents feminine, romantic accents. Through the design process, we turned them into modern jewels with historic hints”, says Creative Director Nathalie Colin. Foliage morphs into lace-like filigrees, insects and night butterflies transform into stylized pendants, in a palette of autumnal flowers and berry tones. The collection features a generous offering of easy to wear designs ranging from the timeless to the fashionable and from the subtle to the bold, which ensures a piece to suit any occasion.

Zen style garden is a major influence which infuses an organic, minimal yet sensual touch to the collection. A pure and simplified design aesthetic is combined with curved metal to create an easy chic silhouette, both sleek and feminine. The Dusky necklace exemplifies this contemporary reference to nature with repeated drop-shaped crystals which take center stage on a rose-gold polished metal all-around base, twisted by the addition of leather. Particularly on-trend this season, the all-around shape adorns neckline with a fashion signature.

SWAROVSKI'S FALL WAINTER 2015 - WINTER GARDEN COLLECTION  (3)

The clean lines and subtle sparkle of the Stardust bracelet, appearing in its third season, confirms its ability to inject an instant touch of glamour into any outfit.

The 730 tiny crystals in the simple wrap and the 1460 in the double version are now enclosed in a metal rather than nylon fishnet to ensure additional sparkle. Available in gold, rose gold and silver tones that can be combined to echo the mixed plating trend, Stardust is easy to wear and sets the tone for any occasion. The brand new Stardust necklace builds on the success of these popular bracelets. The links of this cool and modern chucky chain necklace are made of “stardust” making it as light and supple as the like-named bracelets, imparting a festive and glamorous feel to the wearer.

The other main inspiration focuses on the autumnal beauty of an English manor house garden. Design here favors a richer and more sophisticated approach, evoking vintage jewelry, antique tapestry and lace-like filigree, in a palette of elegant dahlia and berry colors. For the contemporary woman who is unafraid to stand out from the crowd, Swarovski offers the opulent and ornamental Dramatic necklace.

SWAROVSKI'S FALL WAINTER 2015 - WINTER GARDEN COLLECTION  (7)

This sophisticated jewelry piece exemplifies refined craftsmanship with textures that evoke intricate embroideries. At the same time, the inclusion of a modern chain fastening provides that timely design twist. Limited to a dark palette of blacks, greys and violets borrowed from the season’s fading flowers, Dramatic’s large multi-facetted crystal medallions are surrounded by smaller contrasting crystals hand-set using the exclusive Pointiage® technique. Equally seducing are the Diana necklace and ring. The metal base of the necklace features crystal stone stacking in faded pinks that reference the fall flowers theme, and the voluminous ring serves to pile on its own style of drama. The insect motif can be found in the Daphne pendants, which combine the classical spirit of crystals in rich gemstone colors with the more modern stylized lace-like filigree abstractions of butterfly wings. These pendants can be worn separately or combined together at different lengths to create the currently on-trend layering effect.

The sheer breadth of the Fall/Winter 2015/16 Winter Gardens collection insures that every woman can discover that coveted piece destined to transform any outfit from a LBD to a denim look into a personal statement of glamour with just the right amount of sparkle.

here comes the sun artdeco beauty bar philippines

I asked my friend Laura how to keep my face from looking so white after putting Armada sunblock and she said “use a bronzing powder and blush” And so this Art Deco Sunshine blush and Bronzing powder from the Here Comes the Sun limited collection are perfect!!! It gives a natural complexion and its fragrance, lanolin and mineral oil free. The bronzing powder comes in beach walk and beach party

Art deco blush and bronzing powderAs we enter the rainy season, we are not quite ready to let go of our sunny summer vibes- still dreaming of the sun, the beach and the bikini. This limited collection Here comes the sun by ARTDECO ensures to arouse that holiday feeling all year long, allowing us to keep the glow and keep the bronze. Warm earthy tones, brilliant coral and intense orange conjure up a seductive summer look. The products, which are available in new packaging, make every woman feel as if she has been kissed by the sun. It’s as if the Maldives are a short hop away.

A naturally bronzed and matte finish is achieved with the fragrance- and paraben-free Bronzing Powder Compact. Inca oil is quickly absorbed and preserves moisture. Pea extract regenerates the collagen structure. The lanolin- and mineral oil-free Bronzing Powder Compact with SPF 15 is available in two color variations: No. 02 “beach walk” and No. 04 “beach party“.

The ultralight Sunshine Glow Fluid “sunshine glow” conjures up a refined, sun-kissed finish. The gently shimmering fluid containing vitamin E and hyaluronic acid makes the skin radiant. The fluid can be mixed with a day cream or foundation to perfect the natural skin tone and make the skin more voluminous.

Vitamins C and E nourish the skin and mineral sericite leaves the skin feeling good. The Sunshine Blush is fragrance-, lanolin- and mineral oil-free.

Achieving a dramatic or smokey eyes look with the Khol Kajal is child’s play. The Khol Kajal feels good and is easy to use even for the uninitiated. The Kajal wears out evenly during application because it is self-sharpening. It dries upon application.

Michael Kors, Anna Wintour and Melissa Rivers joined Mayor Bill de Blasio and other notable New Yorkers as well as God’s Love staff, donors, and volunteers to celebrate the launch of the new facility in a special ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony. The ARC gospel choir joined the day’s festivities, singing “I’m Working On A Building,” “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher,” and “Oh Happy Day.”

God's Love We Deliver Celebrates Return To Soho With Dedication Of New Michael Kors Building

“With the dedication of our expanded facility, we will, together with our thousands of caring and committed volunteers and supporters, continue to serve the most vulnerable among us, meeting an ever-increasing demand for our program,” said Karen Pearl, President & CEO of God’s Love We Deliver. “Every day, more and more sick and hungry New Yorkers reach out to God’s Love looking for help. The Michael Kors Building allows us to continue to respond to the urgent needs of our clients for years to come. We will provide all those who need us with life-sustaining – and life-affirming – services at no charge and without a waiting list.”

The God’s Love expansion project, which was made possible, in part, by an $8 million city grant and private gifts, including more than $5 million from designer Michael Kors, more than doubles the organization’s space – from 18,000 square feet to over 48,500 square feet.

The nonprofit has been cooking and delivering nutritious, individually-tailored meals to people living with severe illnesses in the metropolitan area for over 30 years and currently serves more than 1.4 million meals to some 5,200 people each year. The new Michael Kors Building allows the organization to meet the growing demand for its services, up 94% over the last eight years.

The facility includes a new bakery, named The Joan Rivers Bakery in honor of the late comedian, talk-show host and author who supported God’s Love for over 25 years and sat on the Board of Directors for 20 years. It also plays home to The Anna Wintour Volunteer Center, honoring Anna Wintour’s more than 20 years of service and support to God’s Love and made possible through a gift by Michael Kors, Lance Le Pere, John Idol and the Michael Kors company.

In addition to these spaces, the new facility also includes an expanded delivery and pack-out area, an enclosed loading dock and rooftop garden where herbs will be grown for the food that the non-profit organization plans to serve.

“God’s Love We Deliver has been helping and healing our community for more than 30 years, bringing home-cooked meals to people who are ill and, in the process, turning strangers into neighbors,” said Michael Kors. “They are a precious resource for so many people, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them grow and expand their vital mission.”

In the Philippines, Michael Kors is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., a member of the SSI Group Inc., and is located at The Power Plant Mall, Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Newport and Bonifacio High Street Central Square.
