Ancient Greek Sandals are handmade locally by skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques that have existed for centuries. The chemical-free, natural tan leather used, ages beautifully with time and wear. A raw yet feminine aesthetic distinguishes this new sandal brand. The idea was to create a flat sandal, which feels light, nude, soft and sexy. The clean round toe sole is deliberately kept light and almost disappears when worn; hence emphasizing the beautifully detailed and often intricate design of the upper part of each style. The ‘golden wing’ buckle is a trademark of the brand.
Born and raised in Greece, co-founder and designer, Christina Martini is a BA (Hons) graduate in Footwear Design and Product Development from the prestigious Cordwainers College (2000). Christina previously worked as a shoe designer for Balenciaga (2008-2010), Louis Vuitton and Iris srl. Her business partner and co-founder Nikolas Minoglou, was born in London and raised in Greece. An MBA graduate from Babson College (USA), in 2006 returned to Athens and took over the family’s well established footwear business, before joining forces with Christina.
SOLID UPPERS
This new classic group consists of three new styles that can be worn anytime from beach to bar essentials for every wardrobe. These solid upper sandals are available in vachetta leather, pony or nubuck.
CUT OUTS
Since the first season, cut out details have been Ancient Greek Sandals’ DNA. For pre collection S/S17, four new delicate styles have been introduced which are inspired by ancient Greek ceramic vases in the form of a sandaled foot. From the easy slide Venus, to the more intricate gladiator style Dione, all are available in vachetta, nubuck or metallic crosta.
COLOURS / MATERIALS
New earthy tones such as cappuccino and khaki have been added to the AGS classic colour palette, whereas a more fun fuchsia and a classic raspberry complete the colours of the iconic vachetta leather. Nubuck, which is introduced this season, is available for all styles of the collection in a romantic light pink, khaki and black. Pink and khaki are also available in the popular pony skin. Snake is available in selected colours only: raspberry and black. As a novelty this season, all the natural wooden structures are replaced with a dark chestnut colour. Vibrant hues including red, yellow, pink and green are prominent throughout the collection making a statement as solid block colours, or as accents and decoration.
MASCULINE
A more masculine group has been developed for this season, sandals with large pieces of leather, with straps going through, cover and hold the foot firmly. From slides to mid gladiator, these styles offer a more urban look.
CLASSIC BRAIDS
The success of the Eleftheria sandal with delicate braids led to the creation of two more ‘sister’ styles. Amalia and Yianna are both available in solid classic tones or mixed colours such as platinum with black, natural or silver. The alter ego of these three braided styles are their clean version in flat vachetta in many colours.
JEWELLERY
Five styles of beautifully bejeweled sandals form this new evening group. Antique symbols engraved on metal pieces, spirals and coiled metallic lines give shape to these feminine, sandals where leather is used only when absolutely necessary.
MIXED BRAIDS
In Greek Mythology, Clotho, Atropos and Lachesis are the three Fates who were supposedly the ‘weavers’ of life for all the mortals. The three styles of this group take their names as they consist of woven mixed media straps made out of leather, woolen threads, strings and metallic beads. This bohemian group is available in all black or natural with off white elements.
COLOUR BLOCKING
A new ‘Colour Blocking’ group is introduced this season, mixing three key vachetta tones together to create a bold stripe combination. Metallic tones of silver, gold and pink metal extend this group further, creating a sophisticated finish.
THE BLOCK HEEL
A new construction, this season is ‘the block heel’. This vintage inspired heel takes us back to the Mediterranean holidays of the 70’s Jackie O’ in the island of Scorpios or Maria Callas in Portofino. Four classic styles plus one new moccasin style are available in our trademark vachetta leather or soft nubuck combined with dark wood.
DENIM
Following the success of the denim collection, this has been extended to include a tie-dye denim fabrication and patchwork denim group, which combines both light and dark to create an updated collection. Furthermore, the addition of braided denim styles adds extra diversity to this vast group.
RAFFIA
For the first time, Raffia details have been added to key Ancient Greek Sandals styles. Multicolour or toned blue, woven raffia stripes decorate classic leather or denim styles such as Clio, Thais and Eleftheria, while intricate woven raffia flowers add a more tropical feel to the group.
CLOSED TOE
For the first time Ancient Greek Sandals has developed a closed toe slide, featuring a different shape and construction from the sandals; the slipper group consist of the plain style, Pasoumi available in wide colour palette including denim, and Lysistrata, a slide loafer available in solid colours as well as colourblocking combinations.
Ancient Greek Sandals is exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati.

The Sergio Rossi Resort 2017 Collection takes notes from the brand’s DNA and pays tribute to its most iconic and loved pieces, interpreting them in vivid summer shades.
The elegant silhouettes of pointed and rounded pumps shine in vibrant color combinations and the platform sandals find new life in exotic patterns and denim contrasts. The juxtaposition of seasonal colors and materials with classic tones and shapes is perfect for a day-to-night look. The sleek lines and essential details create a timeless balance within the Collection, which stays true to the Maison’s heritage but takes a glimpse into the future. ?
A change of direction to make its identity strong, authoritative and powerful once again.
Sergio Rossi makes a fresh start with a completely new management team, seeking to return its identity to its former glory and place the emphasis back on the brand’s quality, craftsmanship and authenticity.
The first step concerns the product: the company plans to shift from evening wear to a bright, modern and versatile idea of daywear. The focus of the creative process will no longer be on fashion trends, but rather on the longevity of footwear. Little by little, the company will flesh out an ideal collection for each season, breaking free of convention to create elegant, practical and light footwear—an eclectic classic that transcends age, use or function.
The company will continue fostering the craftsmanship culture at the facility in San Mauro Pascoli, where 110 craft professionals pass on their expertise through the generations. The creative team has started a new relationship with them based on savoir-faire, so as to study and bring Sergio Rossi’s invaluable historical archive into the present.
After the presentation of the Spring/Summer 2017 collection, the Company will extend the new strategy to the international retail network (both mono brand and wholesale channels) by introducing a new communication and distribution project to restore the credibility and relevance of Sergio Rossi’s legacy and tradition.
The digital aspect will be the red thread that weaves Sergio Rossi’s new deal together—from the design and creation of collections to their presentation and viral marketing through social media. The creative, productive and distribution process will take place both online and offline thanks to a young, fast and versatile team open and receptive to constant change.
Sergio Rossi makes a fresh start and goes back to the most authentic aesthetics of the brand: providing interesting, portable and contemporary footwear—versatile creations that eschew trends and embody the elegance, needs and passions of a woman and her world.
An eccentric classic. The focus shifts from evening to casual wear. Products are timeless and break free from outdated rules – they work 24/7 and suit all places and situations. This injection of courage, boldness and light-heartedness into tradition is a way of approaching design without compromising it
The Sergio Rossi woman is grounded in both reality and fantasy. The heel is mainly low and supports a new creation, part moccasin and part slipper, that seeks to establish a new aesthetic of comfort and elegance. The inspiration is a model from the historical archive, with square lines dating back to the 1990s – a golden era for Sergio Rossi.
The finishes are made of gold or silver. The uppers range from the minimalist to the luxurious, as in a musical crescendo rife with details (baguettes, tinted glass, mirror effects, ethnic and jungle nods). A subtle “sr1” is micro-engraved on the heels – the essence and symbol of an ideal collection to be fleshed out over time. The 6cm heel is back, thin in profile and imposing from the back, lifting sabots and sandals while remaining firmly grounded in reality.
The presentation of the collection was conceived as a performance, a celebration of rebirth. Sergio Rossi will unveil its new deal to the international press and public at the Teatro Filodrammatici in the heart of Milan

It is thanks to a small crystal mouse, created in 1976, that tens of thousands of people in over 125 countries now celebrate their love of crystal! Last May 6 2017, the Swarovski Crystal Society celebrated its 30th anniversary in the Philippines at Rustan’s Makati. Many crystal enthusiasts, some who have been members since the very beginning, gathered together to witness the beauty of the special edition pieces.
Every five years the Swarovski Crystal Society (SCS) celebrates an anniversary. For each of these anniversaries, the SCS has launched a special Jubilee Edition commemorating the occasion and 2017 is no exception. 
The SCS Jubilee Edition Swans is an exquisite tribute to this noble bird and its offspring, symbolizing a sense of belonging to the Swarovski Family. Swans have always been part of the Crystal Creations assortment, but Swarovski has never created a swan with cygnets for SCS before.
This family scene represents the strong and enduring connection between the mother and her babies. Martin Zendron designed this family to be a symbolic thank you to the loyal crystal lovers, who have been following Swarovski perhaps since the very beginning of SCS, or at least for a long period of time.
The SCS Annual Edition 2017 also pays tribute to the bear mother, a strong and powerful yet caring and protective animal, executed in crystal with 925 facets. 
The Bear Arcadia sparkles in Sunray, a stunning new crystal color developed to mark the 30th anniversary of the SCS, which reveals a beautiful warmth when the sun shines through it. One paw is engraved with the name Arcadia, the Swarovski logo, the designer Martin Zendron’s initials, and the year of issue 2017. Display this breathtaking piece together with the SCS Bear Cubs to create a delightful family scene.
Members of the Swarovski Crystal Society were able to enjoy the privilege of celebrating with the brand and purchasing the special edition, exclusively available to them. The highlight of the event was the awarding of seven loyal SCS members namely, Eddie Chua, Teresita Rosario and Janyka Villacorta,
Shirley Ng,
Dr. Edward L. Fereira and Neil Fereira
Ronald Uy, Loris Luakian, and Eleanore Go
Become a member of the SCS and choose from either one year or three years membership. After this time, the membership will automatically expire unless otherwise extended. Regardless the length of membership chosen, collectors can look forward to a number of exclusive benefits and advantages only available to SCS members, like complimentary issues of Swarovski Magazine and annual crystal membership gifts.
Swarovski is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-la, Gateway, Alabang and Cebu.
Every year for the past 23 years we celebrate Lola’s anniversary in heaven and her birthday. How beautiful what Fr. Caluag @titocaluag said about what an anniversary is about and how he linked it to Pentecost. “Anniversaries is remembering. Anniversaries we remember that which we celebrate. Every time we remember, we Keep alive that which we remember. And today we remember the graces that Tita Glecy had channeled into the family’s life and channeled to the thousands of lives who somehow with her own work in her lifetime have affected these lives. We remember the gift of the spirit. Remember when the Lord left this world, he’s final gift was the spirit. And it was the spirit that would help his friends continue the mission that he came for and the mission he somehow shared with his friends “
“The Spirit of the Risen Lord brings peace, as was the first greeting of Christ in today’s Gospel. Peace, as all spiritual mentors would say, is always a sign of the good spirit, the Spirit of the Risen Lord. It is the peace that helps us move away from the negative, from the clutches of the evil spirit, and regain our equilibrium to open our hearts, minds and souls again to the mission entrusted to us by the Risen Lord.” 
Like Lola and Like our Lord, we keep alive their spirit by continuing their mission which they shared while they were with us. How beautiful to remember our loved ones and keep them alive not only in our hearts but by continuing their mission – the good they have shared or imparted to us #h2hreligious #H2Hquotes#h2hcelebrations#H2HChannelofBlessing
I’m happy to announce that as of today, Boy Samson @boyfsamson will not be undergoing surgery. Many of you know him but for those who don’t, Boy is a loyal employee of Rustan’s Supermarket and has served ( and continue to ) many customers through the years. Thanks to God for watching over him. 
For some reason last Thursday I received a text from a common friend of Boy – Bambi Reyes Javelosa @bambi_linkedge – and so I found out about his condition. First instinct was to ask the family to help raise funds. So I announced it to the family only to get the best advice which was to send him to Dr Sta. Cruz ( because touching the prostate is very dangerous ) and with the help of Jackie @jackie_plomantes1206 saw him immediately that day. Boy was accompanied by his wife and daughter
Dr. Sta. Cruz and his son Dr. Miko was with him for 5 hours doing tests.
Apparently, Dr Sta Cruz is known for non surgical treatment of the prostate. Was it coincidence that Boy’s surgery was postponed that day and moved to June 8? No it’s not! Dr. Sta. Cruz will try to cure him without operating! Alleluia!!!! And he tells me he will help Boy at no cost – because of my Lolo ! I want to cry!!!! All this happened because God worked thru different “channels of blessing” ( Ty to Lills @lilliannmgmailcom for this term ) from Bambi, to me thru my titas, thru lolo and dr Sta Cruz
I told Dr. Sta Cruz I wanted to blog him and just that day his new website was up, visit https://www.drestacruzprostate.com Many people from all over the world go to him for treatment. Almost 20 years ago my Lolo flew him to the States to treat him and he’s living proof of his healing powers. I’m sharing this story as proof of God working through many channels of blessings. We all are and sometimes we unconsciously don’t know that God is using us/you to do things for Him in this world. In small & big ways. That is our mission in life – to do what God has in store for us – our mission – His mission. Celebrating Pentecost today when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a sign for the apostles to continue his mission ! #h2hreligious #H2Hquotes #h2hhealth#H2HChannelofBlessing #h2hrustans#h2hdoctors #H2HPeople
Dr. Sta Cruz can also help couples who have a hard time having a baby

Enjoyed very much our 4 weeks bonding. Our last stop was at the Univ of Pennsylvania. They say that in a marriage it’s “Give & Take” – Heart2Heart says it’s “Give”! 🙂 I believe that it’s more of the giving – the unconditional kind of giving without expecting anything in return- if you want your marriage to work. This was a trip where we were really alone – no kids, no parents, not many socials and commitments, so we had a lot of alone time. We did the laundry together ( haha! ) we cooked and washed dishes and the hubby always helped with chores without me asking – he never let me do it alone. I swam for my exercise & therapy and he swam with me instead of his usual gym. He drove me when I needed a ride, took me to the doctor and he watched my tv show with me without complaining. I let him choose the restaurants, I accompanied him to his seminar and whenever he needed company. We are nearly going to celebrate our 25th anniversary yet there’s still a long way ahead of us and it’s a journey that I want to keep with a lot of LOVE so there will have to be a lot of giving 🙂 – not material things – but unconditional giving from the heart #h2hny #H2HPennsylvania2017#h2hnyc2017 #h2hquotes
