Mother’s day may still be a few days away, but to celebrate something as extraordinary as motherhood, it’s never too early to conjure up thoughtful ways to show your gratitude and put a smile on her face. So while you have time, why not explore the many dazzling possibilities that will be more surprising than the usual greeting card, bouquet of flowers and a meal out?
For AGATHA, Paris’ trendiest fashion jewellery brand, these possibilities come in the form of effortlessly chic, unique pieces to reflect her every day style and sophistication. Using a variety of materials such as silver and gold mixed with semi-precious stones, the brand has captivated ladies in places all over the world including Seville, Dubai, and Tokyo; and will literally work its specially created charms on mom’s special day with a line-up to suit whatever style and personality.
For fun loving mothers who are young or young at heart, show your affection with a big, adorable dose of kawaii courtesy of “Cutest Mum:” Agatha’s most mischievous collection yet! Expressively styled in bright hues of pink, blue, or red, these Kokeshi pendants, key rings and bracelets made from enamel and rhinestone are a playful take on the traditional Japanese doll that mom will find hard to resist!
If she’s fashionable and attune to the latest trends, Agatha’s silver chain mail drop earrings from the “Yummy Mummy” collection make a striking accessory to the safe, light grays that will be in this Spring 2010. For something less edgy yet still flattering to the color palette, consider a long two-strand necklace and bracelet set of pearls and metal disc pendants, accented with amethyst glass beads and mother-of-pearl. The same beautiful design comes in gold, red, and turquoise to add a splash of color to summer’s crisp whites.
Finally, if femininity and elegance are more her thing, gift her accordingly with a piece from “My Sweet Mum” to complement the season’s romantic dresses and prints; such as a pair of sterling silver hoop earrings with pink pendulum-style glass beads that also come in pearl or black for a bold twist. Silver earrings, rings, and necklaces in delicate double heart or bow motifs make timeless choices as well; set with sparkling, tasteful touches of rhinestone and cut cubic zirconia to whisper thanks and “I Love You!” well after the day ends.
Aside from the special Mother’s Day collections, Agatha’s wide array of fashion jewelry – from the alternately simple and refined, bold and dramatic, to the zany and whimsical – likewise make wonderful, year-round gifts that won’t break the bank. From France to the box in her hands, rest assured that whichever style you pick will proudly deliver your heartfelt message: Bonne Fête Maman!
In the Philippines, Agatha jewelry is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is available at the boutiques located in Greenbelt 5 and Robinson’s Midtown.

The Tory Burch Spring 2010 collection takes classic American style and infuses it with a sense of humor and a hint of European edge.
“William Eggleston’s vivid photographs make ordinary things seem extraordinary and embrace the colorful backdrop of America,” says Burch. Our spring collection captures the essence of that classic Americana as seen through his lens and blends it with European accents.”
Utilitarian and sporty elements mixed with charming prints and an eccentric sensibility reflects a new way of looking at American style. Hemlines are short; cigarette pants and casually rolled cargo pants are key. A staple in every woman’s wardrobe – the t-shirt – is reinvented in sequins, crepe de chine and textured knits for a fresh take on the original.
Our garden print and a modern take on gingham are focal points of the collection. Snakeskin printed denim, along with tie-dye and perforated leather adds an unexpected element. Bright splashes of candy colors like turquoise, garden green, fuchsia, yellow and orange are complemented by a palette of neutrals and metallics.
Washed leather handbags and ankle wrap high heeled sandals are standout accessories. Painterly prints are done on snake printed leather, chain mail and canvas handbags. Statement bracelets and necklaces incorporate rope and Navajo detailing for a distinctive look. Metallic snake printed leather and canvas striped belts complete the look.
Our new eyewear collection has a timeless feel that reflects the unique spirit of our brand and is the perfect accent to the spring collection. When designing the eyewear, Tory was greatly influenced by old photos of her parents on trips they took during the 60s, 70s and 80s to places like Greece, Morocco and Istanbul. The collection also takes inspiration from the distinctive style of icons such as James Dean, Peter Fonda, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.
In the Philippines, Tory Burch is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City.
Why don’t you Be Stupid???
Visit Diesel Rockwell on May 1, 2010 and get a free BE STUPID t-shirt. Just wear any Diesel item, be it old or new, fall in line, and get a free t-shirt! Let’s all wear our stupid shirts with our heads held up high.
When somebody says “don’t be stupid”, what they’re really saying is “Don’t have fun. Don’t be daring. Don’t provoke. Bury your sense of humour. Get serious.”
So we say: “Get lost. We’re with stupid”
Stupid is the liberating alternative to dry-as-dust cerebral (so called “smart”) and it takes courage, loads!
Stupid is the very word all those folk use to dismiss anything original and genuine.
Stupid is about having the guts to risk, to take on the new and inventive, however dangerous.
Stupid is about passion, strange sex, wearing the wrong thing in the right place, swapping roles trying something new, failing, trying again – and failing better.
Stupid is about giving things away for free, like we’re doing on May 1, for the sheer joy of seeing people happy.
Falling in line and wasting your time is stupid. But who knows what you can get from it!
So we ask you, Diesel is stupid and thoroughly identifies with it and lives it as the clearest expression ever what the brand is standing for. So we say Be Stupid!!! Take risks and live your life.
Be Stupid calls out to each and every one of us. It’s the key to successful living. It’s about following your heart and not your head. You can’t outsmart stupid – so don’t try. Long live stupid.
In the Philippines, Diesel is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is available at Greenbelt 3, Power Plant Mall, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, and Robinson’s Place Manila.

Summer’s finally here! But before heading off to that dream getaway, make sure you have all the essentials for a wonderful time in the sea or on the shore. Sunblock? Check. Sunglasses? Check. The perfect swimsuit? Fashionable flip flops to go with your outfit? Check. Hard to find indeed, but not if you shop at Rustan’s!
This season, there are no more excuses for so-so swimwear as the country’s premier department store once again opens up a treasure trove of exciting resort garb from some of today’s most fashion-forward, internationally recognized brands.
From Brazil, the home of beautiful, bronze bodies, Despi Swimwear phases out minimalism to make way for the glamour and luxury demanded by contemporary women. Their extremely fashionable suits caress the skin with enchantments of silk and natural cotton fibers and delicately embroidered beads and lace; while daring oversized jewels and leather and gold encrusted studs will definitely bring out your “sexytude” and inner rock ‘n roll chic.
For lovers of adventure and the outdoors, Eberjey will be the ideal companion. Meaning “joy” in a Nigerian dialect, the collections will undoubtedly rouse delight as they are inspired by jaunts around some of the world’s most fascinating places. Don slim and sexy suits reminiscent of Central America in shades of yellow, lush greens, and soft browns from Wild Forest, or get into the bohemian vibe with the exotic and mysterious prints of Moroccan textiles and tile with Marrakech.
If you’re more of a casual beach bunny, then evoke the feelings of freedom and fun from The Land Down Under as you frolic in the sun – with the fusion of quirky and classic themes of Tigerlily, Australia’s premium swimwear brand. Seeing the world in “bikini-colored glasses”, as model and founder Jodhi Meares puts it, a piece of Gaudi architecture, an 18th century armchair, or even a Picasso or a Monet aren’t safe – all things translate to their bikinis!
Feeling conscious? Well, don’t fret if the two-piece isn’t your thing. What would you think about swimwear that’s cut and gusseted to make you appear an inch slimmer around the waist and hips, and enhanced at the bust? Or perhaps a bandeau with prints that bring the eyes upward to flatter your neck and create an illusion of a longer torso? If those sound good, then let Fantasizer become the secret to your strut.
And when you’ve finally found the right swimsuit to match your taste, don’t reveal all just yet! Keep comfortably covered and stylish in Echo’s cotton metallic striped geo tunic or cotton smocked spectator duo dress. Paired with their colorfully patterned scarves and accessories, you won’t be able to resist sashaying down the sands.
To add a bit more sparkle, check out the Havaianas Embellished Collection in Metal Mesh Silver and Metal Mesh Gold. The studded metal mesh that is hand-sewn to the straps glams up the traditional silhouette, creating a comfortable but utterly luxe fashion statement
By showcasing these versatile offerings for 2010, Rustan’s truly has got it all for you, whatever your shape or size. With that, you can finally put down your list and say, “The perfect summer? Check!”
The Resortwear Area can be found in Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-la.
