Fall/Winter 2009 sees Lucky Brand Jeans embark on a “voyage” to take its fans onto a creative odyssey — one that will bring new surprises with the ever-lasting fashion genres of jeans and tees. Independent thinking, an individualistic style and a true-to-oneself brand philosophy is what Lucky Brand Jeans brings to the forefront.

Lucky Brand Jeans gives men an active statement that takes on a new direction. Skull, motorbike, guitar and other rock-n-roll elements together with the brand’s signature stencil prints as well as humorous statements form the focus of the men’s short sleeve and raglan long-sleeve tees. These tees go perfectly with the brand’s uniquely washed vintage straight or bootleg jeans to shape the men with untamable liberalism. Eagle embroidered shirts, plaid woven shirts, cotton zip-up hoodies in American style and military jackets in denim all express much masculinity.

The women’s collection on the other hand takes inspiration in all parts of the world from prints, color, and design. Eye-catching floral patterns, paisley prints, slub “Rice-Bag” graphic tees are sure to be ladies’ favorites this season. Embroidered tunic and turtle dove print slit neck tees bring to life the modern vintage feel that is all about Lucky Brand Jeans. Printed Kimono sleeve cardigans and cotton zip-up hoodies are as exotic as they are sleek, matching the Danielle Cargo pants. With this cargo pants’ unique back pocket stitches and signature pre-wash effects, you are sure to turn heads! Wild and fancy-free panther skinny jeans make the ladies a throwback from the remarkable hippie era.

A stylish baby’s firsts with DwellStudio

 

When it comes to babies and tots, every first is cherished – the first step, the first family photo, the first family trip – the list goes on. And wouldn’t it be more fun when these firsts are celebrated in style? DwellStudio knows how these firsts are treasured by every proud mom and dad and with its unique sense of color, unwavering commitment to quality, and innovations in design, you’ll surely want to celebrate these firsts with DwellStudio.

Dwell Home Furnishings was founded by Christiane Lemieux in 1999 in an effort to bring modern textile design to the world of home. Christiane was soon joined by Jennifer Chused and later by Christiane’s husband, Joshua Young. The New York -based company quickly established itself as a leader and innovator in the bedding market – and expanded to a fuller offering of home furnishings products. Dwell launched DwellStudio in November 2007, a name that combines all the existing Dwell, Dwellbaby, Dwellkids and Dwelltable lines into a cohesive brand. DwellStudio has since evolved from its inception as a textile company into a trusted home furnishings brand.

 

Constantly refining designs through the exploration of color, pattern, and form, DwellStudio reinterprets and reinvents what it means to be modern. It strikes a balance with bold colors and prints and patterns that can be mixed and matched to create a truly personal space for babies and kids. The brand has captured the hearts of proud and uber stylish mommas like Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Liv Tyler, and Katie Holmes. DwellStudio has always been committed to quality, safety and the environment. All their prints were made using low-impact dyes, which do not contain heavy metals or other known toxic substances. They are also Formaldehyde free, AZO-free and meet all criteria for eco-friendly pigments. DwellStudio has also initiated a re-design of their packaging to eliminate PVC and utilize eco-friendly materials. The products now come in bags or boxes that can be reused for storage, laundry, and travel for zero waste.

 

Its 2009 Baby & Kids print collection is inspired by illustrators as well as art itself, using a series of hand drawn and painted prints creating designs that will make your baby’s first room truly adorable, engaging and inspiring. Lay your baby down the DwellStudio crib set which include a play blanket, bumper, fitted sheet, and crib skirt. The Geometry pattern will have your little ones stimulated with circles, hexagons, triangles, and other shapes. Baby girls will love the Dragonfly crib set with hand-drawn dragonflies soaring through a soothing landscape of milk chocolate, butter, and rose. The best-selling graphic pattern in bold colors, the Dots crib set is the perfect way to stimulate your baby’s sense of sight while starting them out in stye.

 

Babies and tots love moving vehicles and with the Transportation crib set, they are sure to get loads of cars, buses, cabs, and even a Zeppelin! The Garden and Motif crib sets bring the outdoors right into your baby’s bedroom. Inspired by the Danish and Italian toys of the 60’s and 70’s and the color palette of Italian designer Gio Ponti’s interiors of a hotel in Sorrento, Italy, the Gio crib set lends playfulness with squirrels, kangaroos, snails, and clovers. The Organic collection is made from the finest Portuguese organic cotton, grown without any chemicals, pesticides, dyes or bleaches. DwellStudio’s classic Circles pattern is subtly embroidered onto the bumper and play blanket with organic natural thread. The Charlotte crib set with its floral mixes, a modern tree motif, and grey stripes lend a sophisticated and luxe feel while the Cowboy crib set with lend sweet dreams of life on the range for wannabe Butch Cassidys.

Springfield Autumn Winter 2009 -2010 Collection

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

The natural urban look for men and a melting pot of styles for ultra-feminine women form the essence of Springfield style this winter.

Springfield will be presenting eye-opening Men’s & Women’s collections for the coming Autumn Winter 2009 2010 season, featuring the exciting new Ride my bike line and the launch of Sofing by Springfield for Men, as well as the Grunge de Luxe collection for Women.

Springfield has taken the inspiration for its designs for urban men from the new social trends: caring for the environment and the city; taking time out outdoors; and an evening of fun and frolics in the city. Springfield has opted for a combination of styles reflected in the various collection lines: jeans and checks with relief knits; urban styles for active garments; country-style leathers with micro-motifs; plus combinations of colors – without forgetting those essential accessories that give a twist to the total look. 

Ride my bike and Sofing by Springfield are the new looks for the season. The first is inspired by the urban trend for bicycles, created to dress the active, sports-loving man. Synthetic, lightweight fabrics that are ideal for cycling around the city without losing an iota of that Springfield style for guys. In turn, Sofing by Springfield features the kind of garments that the Springfield boy’s wardrobe was crying out for: a Homewear line. Ultra-versatile sport styles that are perfect for relaxing in at home but which are a world away from those old-hat pyjamas. Trousers and shorts, T-shirts and sweatshirts in soft tones, brimming over with details that are pure Springfield.

I find myself going back to the store almost 4 times a week just to check out the great deals!!  And they are not the BUY ONE TAKE ONE deals on slow moving or non interesting stuff.  The items on promotion are really GOOD items that we really use at home!!  So I am busy throughout the week going to Shopwise Pasong Tamo, Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Expresslane.  I found out that San Antonio Express lane has different promotions just for their store.  So you can imagine me making my rounds among these three stores and hoarding them to take advantage of the great deals!!!

The Brazo Bomb

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | 2 Comments

I am so happy that there is a Vargas Kitchen now in Rustan’s Supermarket Rockwell and Makati!  I see a lot of people tempted to have something and they do not even think twice and just pass by to get their slice of buttercake or take out a whole cake! It is strategically located at Makati store since it is right after the checkout so you can get some before going home

p1110208.jpgp1110210.jpg

My all time favorite Brazo de Mercedez in the whole wide world is from Vargas Kitchen.  I have been eating that since i was a kid when Lola Mameng would serve it!

So when I saw this, I immediately bought a piece and tried it! YUMMY!!!!!!!!
