Tod’s celebrates the Salone del Mobile, renewing its collaboration with the world of art and design.
“Looking at Tod’s”, the project where world famous architects interpret the shop windows and the brand’s philosophy of excellence, continues with a new concept, exclusively developed for this edition of the Furniture Fair in Milan by Studio Nendo, winner of the Wallpaper Design Awards 2012.
With the new window concept for Tod’s Milan Boutique in Via della Spiga, renowned architect Oki Sato captures the simplicity of the purest design and the elegance of the materials used, creating the magic of a language that has no need of stylistic devices to charm and surprise.
For the architect Tod’s values, strongly linked to the tradition of craftsmanship and of Made in
The result is a shop window that, throughout the materials such as the classic vacchetta leather and steel, both symbols of the brand and common to all the Tod’s boutiques worldwide, celebrates beauty in its simplest shapes with a strong effect that reveals and enhances the Tod’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection, including Tod’s iconic D Bag in an array of fresh colors for the new season.
Diego Della Valle, President of the Tod’s Group, celebrated the event hosting an exclusive cocktail party at Tod’s Boutique in
Among the guests who enjoyed the event personalities from cinema, economy and entertainment, such as Diego, Andrea and Emanuele Della Valle, actors Daniela Virgilio and Edoardo Natoli, tv personality Cristina Parodi, photographer Giovanni Gastel, entrepreneur Luigi Abete, fashion icon Anna Dello Russo, photographer and blogger Micol Sabbadini, socialites Virginia Galateri di Genola, Valentina Scambia, Federico Floriani and Talitha Puri Negri, designers Oki Sato and Felice Limosani, and many others.

SPANX FOUNDER SARA BLAKELY AMONG TIME MAGAZINE’S
100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
Spanx founder Sara Blakely who became a billionaire with her Spanx shapewear line is among Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People for 2012. The successful entrepreneur’s place in the list is granted as millions of women across the world are getting up everyday and putting on a product she dreamed of and designed – SPANX. This year’s roundup of the most influential people in the world gave a nod to tycoons, heads of state, scientists, and more.
“It’s an honor to be named one of TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world!” says Blakely. “Pinch me…to be on the 100 list alongside people I have looked up to and who are changing the world. My goal has always been to help women, and I think God had a sense of humor that I would start by making their butts look better! I hope to inspire others to trust their guts, follow their hearts and turn their dreams into a reality.”
Armed with scissors and sheer genius, Sara cut the feet off her control top pantyhose at age 29, and the Spanx revolution began. Taking on the male-dominated hosiery industry brought its share of challenges, but she never gave up on her idea as noted by Katie Couric in her Time 100 tribute to Sara, “As we were trying to hide our guts, she trusted hers.” Today, the problem-solving brand is available across 40 countries and has become a red carpet must-have for celebrities and a daily necessity for women and men everywhere.
The TIME 100 list, now in its ninth year, recognizes the activism, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals. As TIME Managing Editor Richard Stengel has said of the list in the past, “The TIME 100 is not a list of the most powerful people in the world, it’s not a list of the smartest people in the world, it’s a list of the most influential people in the world. They’re scientists, they’re thinkers, they’re philosophers, they’re leaders, they’re icons, they’re artists, they’re visionaries. People who are using their ideas, their visions, their actions to transform the world and have an effect on a multitude of people.”
SPANX is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation and available at Rustan’s Department Stores in Makati, Shangri-la Plaza, Alabang and Cebu.

The discerning Filipino’s ultimate food source, Rustan’s Supermarket, is taking its shoppers on yet another gastronomic journey—this time around the streets of Asia—with its anticipated Asian Street Food Invasion, running from July 1 to August 15 in all Rustan’s Supermarket Fresh branches.
In the tradition of the supermarket’s highly-successful food festival series over the years, Asian Street Food Invasion zooms in on the products and ingredients that make up the colorful street food offerings of Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, thus bringing shoppers a multi-sensorial feast of flavors that allows them to experience an important part of such distinct cultures and lifestyles.
Savor the uniqueness of Vietnamese street food, which completes the cultural experience of anyone longing for a taste of this featured country. Complete a virtual stroll along the streets of Vietnam, which are dotted with vendors and small cafes that specialize in a type of food or beverage; be it the famous Pho (traditional noodle soup and a staple in the Vietnamese diet), chilled young coconut milk, or Bun Cha (barbecued pork marinated in chili ginger and garlic), among many others.
Indulge in tasty Thai street cuisine and get to know this country’s one-of-a-kind culinary lifestyle, with its distinct bevy of food stalls transforming every major street corner, empty alley and lot into vibrant food bazaars. Recreate the dishes that made this country so popular from the comfort of your own home, such as Pad Thai (fried noodles with dried shrimp and tofu) and signature Thai curries.
Discover the crossroads of global cuisine with Singaporean street food, with this country serving as a melting pot of people from many nations. Unique to this food culture are its local hawker centers, which serve a mixture of Malay, Indian and Chinese specialties; and where the act of choosing the right food vendor to buy from is an art to be mastered.
Lastly, get to know Malaysian street fare a bit more, which similarly presents an eclectic mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences but is made truly its own by the culture that envelopes it: fiercely competitive vendors trying to earn your attention (and visit), an endless stretch of satay and fruit stalls and open air restaurants, and rickety (yet fully-occupied) plastic tables spilling out onto the streets.
Enjoy all these and more well-loved specialties from these Asian countries
Look for the best personal shoppers, Boy Samson and Malou
and dig into your favorite street food via live cooking demonstrations and a weekend Hawker’s Market at Rustan’s Supermarket Rockwell on July 14, Rustan’s Supermarket Shangri-La on July 28 and Rustan’s Supermarket Makati on August 11.

I was at Shopwise and Rustan’s two weeks ago and they had a sale on all Casino products- so I bought quite a number of items to try. Hmm… they even have Bloc de foie gras!
I go crazy over the muesli cereals
My favorite buy is always this, the one with chocolate, so I bought tons on sale to stock up! 🙂
It replaced the one we used to buy that was under Belle France
French products and other new discoveries at Rustan’s Supermarket Feb 16, 2009
And this is my latest discovery!!!!!!!!
I bought one of the noisettes to try and I let the boys at home try it to get their comments and they all loved it. They said it is like Nutella!!! It’s a bit different though because it has some bits of praline nuts in it which I like!
Then I went back to buy some more – I noticed that there was another kind which was praline- I did not see it the first time! After hoarding the Noisettes, I bought one of the praline to try and wow!!! They loved it even more!!!
It’s a good substitute for Nutella and I heard that there are no stocks of Nutella in supermarkets now. So you might want to try Casino!! Hoard them now before they run out of this too! TRY IT!
Exclusively Available at Rustan’s Supermarket and Shopwise
