Goodness Gang Super Foodz

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Rustan’s Supermarket‘s popular Goodness Gang is making a comeback with brand new members of the Superfoodz Edition, and they’re hitting the shelves as heroes of healthy eating and good nutrition.

Following the success of the first Goodness Gang release, which included some favorite fruits and vegetables in the form of soft plush toys that remind you to love your body by adhering to the 5-a-day rule (5 pieces of fruits, vegetables, or a combination of both, to be consumed each day), the 8 new Superfoodz stars are powerhouses of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Known for fighting off chronic diseases, heart and bone problems, obesity, and simple illnesses, this year’s gang is out to lead you onto the path to eating well and right, and keeping you in tiptop shape.

Leading the Goodness Gang is Max the Mighty Mushroom, the only fruit and vegetable with the sunshine vitamin – Vitamin D – that grows bones and strengthens muscles, while Pippa the Playful Pepper packs in Vitamins C and B to fight diseases and keep skin and hair healthy. Fiber, meanwhile, is Alex the Action Apple’s specialty, which he uses to stop high levels of bad cholesterol while his B-Complex vitamins protect the red blood cells and nervous system.

A mighty defender against infections and diseases, Billy the Brilliant Blueberry may be small, but he has more antioxidants than most other bigger fruits and vegetables. Patrick the Powerful Pea is another hero to watch out for as he saves the joints, lungs, heart, and bones from painful conditions. There’s also Thomas the Trusted Tomato, whose choice weapon is lycopene that nourishes cell membranes to remove the junk out of cells and keep the good nutrients in.

Vitamin C is Olivia the Outgoing Orange’s super strength, which repairs skin damage due to the sun and pollution while also defeating nasty colds and flu. Finally there’s Fiona the Fantastic Fig, who combats the negative effects of processed food, salt, and fat with potassium and fiber.

Rustan’s Supermarket customers can get their hands on the Goodness Gang beginning September 1 until November 30 with eight colorful, adorable plush toys that can be redeemed through stickers gained from shopping in Rustan’s and purchasing sponsors’ products.

Each plush toy is FREE with 50 stickers earned or may be purchased for only P299 with 25 stickers earned. Customers earn 1 sticker for every P300 spent while an extra sticker is earned for every P100 on sponsored items.

Get yourself, your family and friends in the bandwagon of health and good nutrition by bringing home the Goodness Gang from Rustan’s Supermarket.

Rustan’s Cebu Opening

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

For its glittering past and glamorous future, the country’s oldest city, Cebu, is set to add another jewel in its crown, as Rustan’s, the Philippines foremost luxury retailers, expands its flagship department store in the Queen City of the South.

Inspired by the tasteful elegance, the vibrant vivacity, and the global outlook of the Cebuanos, Rustan’s Cebu is set to triple its scale. Bringing with it the premiere labels and the most rewarding assortment of choices the department store had always been known and cherished for, Rustan’s aims to better match the emergent lifestyles of the heart of the Visayas.

As it first opened in 1981 at the center of bustling Mango Avenue, Rustan’s Department Store in Cebu turned out to be the landmark for the luxurious pursuits of the Cebuanos and the nearby island provinces. In 1995, it became a part of the gleaming Ayala Center Cebu, becoming a fixture of the Visayan life and style’s penchant for the finest things.

Now matching Cebu’s rise as a global manufacturing center and the lifestyle gateway to the rest of the region, Rustan’s Cebu is reemerging a decade later with a stately new department store complex now with three floors of prime retail space, housing the lifestyle world’s most covetable brands. From the store’s previous home of 2,500 square-meter shopping space, the new and improved Rustan’s Cebu now boasts three floors that totals to 10,000 square meters, filled with the finest merchandise for the most discerning Visayan consumers.

The new Rustan’s Department Store Cebu is slated to have specialty levels dedicated to the most luxurious finds in cosmetics, fashion, and home. In wide, well-lit, and well-curated shopping aisles, Rustan’s Cebu is truly the only destination for the world’s top luxury labels, including exquisite new brands for Cebu shoppers.

The first level now features the bolstered Men’s and Cosmetic sections. Ascot Chang, Oleg Cassini, Armani Jeans, and Pedro del Hierro headline the sleekest selections in Men’s apparel, as well as footwear from Kurt Geiger and Born Shoes. Unique and interesting knick-knacks are available from Discovery Shop, not to mention luxury writing instruments and other accessories from Montblanc. Sharing the floor are indulgent fragrances and skincare products from Murad, Clarins, La Prairie, Dermalogica, Dyptique and Acca Kappa. Not to be forgotten are the beloved cosmetic brands that lend their prestige in beauteous buys from Laura Mercier, Stila, Nars and Chanel.

Dominating the 2^nd level is the Ladies floor, where a wide-range of fashion brands cater to the tasteful lifestyles of Cebuanas. Celebrated designers Raf?, Rebecca Minkoff, Criselda Lontok, and Cristofoli are gracing the section, together with elegant occasion-wear collections from Tadashi, Laundry, Patra, and Adrianna Papell. More luscious pickings are offered for the women from N Natori, Rachel by Rachel Roy, Lady Rustan Private Label, T Tahari, and Sinequanone. The Ladies’ fashion collections are made every bit more stylish when paired with accessories from Lola Casademunt, Dooney & Bourke, Alexandre De Paris, and Coccinelle.

Young Contemporary labels such as Alternative Apparel, Matix, Hailey Logan, and Jelly Bunny are also found on the second floor, giving the best assortments for the hip and edgy youth.

Alegoria Collection by Carrera y Carrera

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Authentic sensitivity and delicacy, beauty and pure natural energy. Spirit, meaning, and soul. Transformative and evocative power. Unique jewels that fly from the hands of our master goldsmiths leaving trails of gold, sapphires, and diamonds.

This is the new Alegoría collection. Pieces where butterflies are the protagonists. Fascinating and full of meaning and soul, these small winged creatures inspire stories that give flight to all of our fantasies and desires. Stories, dreams, magic, but also spirituality.

But beyond the symbolic and the transcendent, the master goldsmiths at Carrera y Carrera pay tribute to eternal femininity with jewels that are characterized by dynamic volumes and harmonious profiles full of movement. Life, movement, and weightlessness to make the jewels feel as if they are part of one.

Dream jewels that create a universe of mystery and sensuality where any fantasy can become reality.

Alegoría is a collection composed of earrings, rings, and necklaces that stand out for their trendy combination of white and yellow gold with pink sapphires and diamonds.
The maxi ring in white and yellow gold with diamonds and pink sapphires consists of an arm that simulates the branch of a tree where the butterfly embraces flowers with its antennae. The difficulty of this piece was to create weightlessness, while simultaneously giving it an ethereal and organic character that would furnish a subtle fluttering effect.
Carrera y Carrera designers particularly emphasized sculptural work so that the movement of the wings could be appreciated from any angle.

The earrings in yellow and white gold with diamonds feature a modern design where the concept of an earring is reinvented; it draws upwards as if the butterfly were taking flight. The silhouette of the butterflies is filled with openwork that gives greater lightness to the pieces.

The maxi necklace in yellow and white gold with diamonds and sapphires simulates a flock of butterflies. The butterflies flit and play with each other, bringing much movement to the piece.

We also observe a filigree of lace in white gold suggesting a diaphanous fabric and a pavé of diamonds on the butterflies to simulate drops of dew.

The greatest difficulty in crafting this piece was to hide the joints without loss of movement and without damaging the necklace’s ability to adjust to the body. To achieve this, the firm’s master goldsmiths integrated said joints into the different butterfly parts without adding any external elements.

These, among others, are the extraordinary pieces that make up Alegoría.

Luxury and sophistication combine in this romantic collection designed for a woman of infinite delicacy and femininity. The perfect jewels to complete spring and summer looks.

Beauty, essence, and evocation. A true allegory of life.

Carrera y Carrera was present at the gala of the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, where the most successful musicians of the United States gathered at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taylor Swift swept into eight categories, obtaining the Top Artist award among others. The singer, who presented her new music video Bad Blood, wore with style the Tiger ring from the Bestiario Collection in white gold, smoky quartz and diamonds. This jewel, an icon of the brand, was the perfect companion to receive her awards and dazzle as the absolute winner of the night.

It is not the first time that the exclusive Tiger ring has been chosen by international celebrities. On previous occasions, this piece full of character and boundless creativity has been worn by artists like Madonna, Jennifer López, and it-girls like Olivia Palermo.

About Carrera y Carrera

Carrera y Carrera is an international Spanish jewelry firm considered one of the most prestigious in the world. Present in over 40 countries, the company has subsidiaries in the United States, Japan, and Russia, and boutiques in Madrid, Barcelona, Tokyo, Moscow, Dubai, Beijing, Macau, and Kuala Lumpur, among other cities.

This iconic brand is characterized by a unique style and meticulous designs, where the combination of a matte-gloss effect on gold and work in volumes and carving yield exceptional jewelry pieces where gold and precious stones come to life.

Carrera y Carrera collection is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati
