Lalique and Ikebana

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

 I was so happy to witness my friend’s mom, Tita Margot Perez, who is a high level ikebana teacher and she is a Director of the Sogetsu Chapter of Ikebana in Manila.  She told me that her daughter Marianne, my friend, was only 6 years old ( 1977 ) only and she has been doing Ikebana already.  It’s so nice to see how beautiful flowers can look in its most simple form and design in a beautiful vase like Lalique.

Gumamelas Christmas 2017

By | Christmas | No Comments

Xmas lunch with the Gumamelas !  @maritinaromulo@maritonitordesillas @lauralimrodrigo@bbtambunting @tlacson @bearevloc@gillcab at Epicurious @epicuriousph in @shangrilaplazaofficial East Wing mall to support #h2hacbatch87 batchmate Joey @johannarcarpo ! It’s a nice place – quiet and wholesome. They have meals to go, deli items, cheese, a cooking school and you can choose anything and they can cook it for you for a small fee. It was good. Same owners of @cravings.philippines and @ccamanila#epicuriousph #h2hgumamelas

You can’t imagine the planning we had before today on what theme or what color to wear ! haha!!  Its a good thing it fell into place and after thinking of where we were going to take the photo – no problem – so many photogenic spaces in Rustan’s @rustansph in @shangrilaplazaofficial We saw a sign in front that Pottery Barn @potterybarnphwas in the 3rd floor – so what cozier spot than there!! We took photos in 3 areas.  We LOVE  taking photos but really to us the fun part is the planning and the photo sessions itself. Super fun, super funny and just altogether fun!  We have not been complete since we were 2nd year highschool – so this is a major event for the Gumamelas ! @maritinaromulo@maritonitordesillas @gillcab @bearevloc@bbtambunting @lauralimrodrigo We waited for Triccie @tlacson to arrive from the States and so the 8 Gumamelas are complete for xmas !! #h2hrustans#h2hgumamelas #h2hxmas
