TORY BURCH OPENS NEW BOUTIQUE IN THE PHILIPPINES

Tory Burch opened its boutique at Power Plant Mall in Makati on August 23rd. This further extends the brand’s presence in the Philippines, where it already has three retail locations: two in Makati City and one in Mandaluyong City. The new store will be its largest in the country. To celebrate the opening, the boutique will offer several pieces from the Fall ‘18 collection that are exclusive to the Power Plant location.

The store’s facade is clean and modern, with minimal brass detailing, large windows, and lightboxes featuring seasonal print campaigns. In keeping with all Tory Burch stores, the interior has been designed to create a residential feel. Oak panel walls, cane tables and brass étagères offer a neutral backdrop for a sophisticated mix of furnishings, including leopard rugs, mocha-striped drapes, and banquettes covered in an exquisite floral inspired by Tory’s home in the West Indies.

A wide assortment of the Tory Burch collection will be available at the Power Plant Mall boutique, including ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, watches, and fragrance. In addition, the exclusive fall product includes a patchwork caftan in the season’s key floral Happy Times print, two Gemini Link handbags, and the Scallop Sneaker in pink and navy.Tory Burch Powerplant Mall - Official Photo 1 Tory Burch Powerplant Mall - Official Photo 3 Tory Burch Powerplant Mall - Official Photo 2

 TORY BURCH COLLECTION: FALL/WINTER 2018

 

From Lee Radziwill’s effortless style to a field of carnations inspired by the drama of Pina Bausch’s Nelken… Romanticism defines the Fall/Winter 2018 mood,” said Tory Burch. “Feminine layers mixed with classic tailoring, a modern take on chintz, and contrasts of texture and print. Accessories carry these ideas through in leather bags and pointy-toe shoes.

Silhouettes: Relaxed, yet refined with feminine details. Loose, fluid dresses with scarf hemlines balance tomboy jackets and trim blazers. Layered outerwear — from a classic peacoat to a blanket poncho — adds to the effortless vibe.

Palette: The palette balances ivory, pale pink, and red with leaf green, deep burgundy, and the brand’s signature Tory Navy.

Prints & Patterns: An eclectic mix speaks to the brand’s bohemian spirit. A modern take on chintz is interpreted in several colorways, and anchors a patchwork of florals set against stripes and classic checks.

Fabrications: The drama is in the details with new fabrications, finishes, and textures. Soft, relaxed fabrics — ranging from delicate lace and organza to wool and cashmere — against a structured poplin, cotton chino, and a bonded wool satin. Cascading ruffles are finished with an organza edge and a floral is interpreted as a velvet burnout, while top-stitch details on poplin and snap closures bring a sporty element.

Accessories: Accessories are pared back and refined, putting the focus on natural, effortless style. A handbag, named after Lee, in different fabrications and pointy-toe booties have clean, modern lines, while wishbone rings and a delicate medallion pendant necklace reference good luck talismans.

Music: Produced by Michel Gaubert; live performance by Chamber Orchestra of New York; Music Direction by Salvatore di Vittorio; and Violin Solo by Daniel Khalikov. Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi — The Four Seasons: Spring 1; Unfinished Sympathy (Instrumental) by Massive Attack; Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi — The Four Seasons: Spring 3.

The Dessert Kitchen

By | Foodie, What's New at Power Plant Mall | No Comments

I have been wanting to try this place ever since I heard about it last year!  So happy to finally visit and have dessert at the Dessert Kitchen at Rockwell.  It is a franchise from Hong Kong and it is by the same owners as Tuan Tuan @tuantuanmanila and Lugang Cafe @lugangcafe #thedessertkitchenph #powerplantmallThe Dessert Kitchen Love the Vertical garden 🙂The Dessert Kitchen (1) When you think Dessert Kitchen – immediately what came to my mind was dessert heaven filled with rich, super sweet, super fattening sweets.  But apparently that is not what Dessert Kitchen is all about.  It’s desserts that are light and relatively healthier than the usual desserts that we have.  So it’s even better than what I expected.  We should have more places like these!!!The Dessert Kitchen (16)Monitor showing the menu right in the entrance of the place
The Dessert Kitchen (2) The Dessert Kitchen (3) Heart2Heart loves Soft Ice cream 🙂   At The Dessert Kitchen its low fat and low sugar.  They serve 2 flavours at a time so the one marked is the one they are serving for the day- Vanilla and Yogurt for us that dayThe Dessert Kitchen (4) They also have hard ice cream The Dessert Kitchen (5) The Dessert Kitchen (6) LOVE the wall!!!!The Dessert Kitchen (7) The Dessert Kitchen (8)  A fun and healthy afternoon at @thedessertkitchenph with these two – Margie @paellaqueen and Alexie. We not only had healthy and yummy desserts but we talked and shared tips on how to be healthy. We all want to be healthy. LOVE, Friends, Desserts and Happiness 🙂  that’s all you need  #thedessertkitchenph #H2HQuotesThe Dessert Kitchen (9)  We started with a savory dish. There’s only 2 in the Dessert Kitchen @thedessertkitchenph Japadog ? eggettes ? It’s their version of a waffle dog with caramelized onions, seaweed, teriyaki mayonnaise and with honey mustard dressing. Yum!The Dessert Kitchen (14) the dessert kitchen menu 4Chocolate Lovers EggettesThe Dessert Kitchen (11) The Dessert Kitchen (10) the dessert kitchen menu 2Sesame Rice Ball in Coconut – YUM!The Dessert Kitchen (17)the dessert kitchen menu 5Kanten Grape – You dip the noodles in the grape sauce and then eat with fresh fruits 🙂  It’s their version of RAMEN! 🙂The Dessert Kitchen (12) One of the signature dishes at @thedessertkitchenph – Taiwan Style Shaved ice. It comes in different flavors – Coconut, Mango and even Durian with Mini Rice Balls, Nata De Coco, and fresh mangoes. Light, refreshing and sweet. The desserts at the Dessert kitchen are very innovative, light ( low fat ) and healthy yet tastes good. It’s not the usual very sweet, very heavy and you feel guilty afterwards. Heart2Heart loves @thedessertkitchenph at @powerplantmall #powerplantmall #thedessertkitchenph #taiwanshavediceThe Dessert Kitchen (18)the dessert kitchen menu 1The Romantic Valentine – Low fat yogurt, corn flakes, peanuts, pistachio crust, and fresh strawberries?

Rambla

By | Foodie, What's New at Power Plant Mall | One Comment

I was looking at all my delayed Spain posts and suddenly had a craving for Spanish food!!! It’s a good thing Rambla opened in Rockwell!!!  

Opened by the same owners as Las Flores.  Uri Singla was there 🙂  Rambla is Catalan food.  I have never been to that area so I am so happy to have been able to try their cuisine!

Pretty servers 🙂 

Loved my Naughty Banana Smoothie ( even though I am not naughty! 🙂 ) 

We ordered almost everything on the menu!  We wanted to try all!! 🙂  Good thing we were a lot 🙂  Everything was good!!  No need to go all the way to Spain to have good Spanish food when you can have it here!

Super yum croquettes!!  Please have some more croquettes with different fillings!  

Uri personally took care of us!  We got the BEST service 🙂

Spherical Olives

Yum!!! My Dad was telling Uri to have a degustation meal!  I hope they will offer this in the future.  Chef Pepe is very talented!

Crispy Catalan Flat bread – Butifara and the next one was Goat cheese!  VERY GOOD!!

Egg dishes were also excellent!  Amazing how a simple egg is now being cooked in many ways!

WOW! Burrata!!  A MUST!

We almost tried everything on the meat menu except the cannelloni

Wow! 🙂 Once in awhile hopefully is not bad!

Uri told us that we need to try this since this is the Chef’s specialty!  It was amazing.  Under those prawns is the chicken and seafood coulant!  AMAZING!  First time for me to try a dish like this

YUM!!!!!

I can’t stop saying yum!  Everything was really good.  PORK PORK PORK! 🙂  A very well made crispy suckling pig!  YUM!

Blood Test at Hi Precision Diagnostics

By | Health and Fitness, Medical, What's New at Power Plant Mall | One Comment

At 43 years old, I have been spending much time in the hospital doing check ups – just making sure everything is okay.  Any sign of anything unusual I go and have it checked.  I am so happy to know that there is Hi Precision Diagnostics Plus in Power Plant Mall in Rockwell!  It’s inside the mall beside True Value.  It’s so convenient!  And I like going to this type of location so you don’t feel like you are really going to a hospital! and then after you can go shopping or eat! haha!! 🙂

It’s clean, organized and high tech! 🙂

I went to have a blood test and it’s a good thing this guy is a sharp shooter because it’s hard to find my veins 🙂
blood-test-at-hi-precision-diagnostics-5.jpg

All hospitals and clinics should have this!  Sometimes they do not anymore remind you – they just tell you to hold the cotton ball! 🙂  Never assume that everyone knows!

Hi Precision was the first to have online results!  After a few days I logged on to get my results! Simple and easy
