Ricardo Preto for Rustan’s collections

The FW16 Collections are inspired by the minimalist lines of modern architecture, as reflected in the purity of the silhouettes and the continuity of their lines. In this first collection designed by Ricardo Preto for Rustan’s, the designer took inspiration from the lush vegetation and beautiful semi-precious stones found in Philippines, translating them into inspired prints as camouflage for the urban jungle. With structured fabrics and fitted silhouettes, the modern men and women will definitely find the perfect pieces that will suit their respective ways of life.ricardo-preto-1 ricardo-preto-2 ricardo-preto-3 ricardo-preto-4 ricardo-preto-6 ricardo-preto-5 ricardo-preto-7 ricardo-preto-8 ricardo-preto-9U by RP Brand

Starbucks Christmas 2016

By | What's New at Starbucks? | No Comments

Starbucks kicks off the Christmas season with celebrated seasonal coffee, food and beverage offerings in the Philippines 

Starbucks beloved handcrafted holiday beverages return to stores in the Philippines for a limited time, along with the 2016 vintage Christmas Blend coffee, new food and beverage offerings and an exclusive selection of curated merchandise for gifting. Customers are invited to stop by to celebrate the arrival of Christmas season at Starbucks – a time to rejoice, with traditions rooted in more than four decades of passion for coffee and experiences and the connections that are inspired by the spirit of the season.

“I’m delighted that the holiday season has arrived in our stores again, a special time at Starbucks with tastes and experiences that inspire our partners and customers. We are honored to be a part of our customers’ yearly holiday tradition here in the Philippines.” said Keith Cole, head of marketing for Starbucks Philippines “Our customers highly anticipate our seasonal beverages, and this year we offer a delicious mix of returning favorites and new handcrafted beverages – celebrating the best of the season with them.”

This year, in addition to returning favorites Peppermint Mocha and Toffee Nut Latte, Starbucks is pleased to introduce a new handcrafted beverage for the holiday season, the Santa Hat Dark Mocha.

Santa Hat Dark Mocha: Decadent dark mocha topped with a base of strawberry whipped cream, strawberry drizzle and a dollop of snowy white whipped cream to create a playful “Santa Hat.”

Peppermint Mocha: Espresso and steamed milk sweetened with flavors of chocolate and peppermint, topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and candy cane pieces.

Toffee Nut Latte: Steamed milk, espresso and toffee nut syrup and topped off with whipped cream and toffee nut sprinkles.starbucks-christmas-2016-7Starbucks also welcomes the return of Christmas Blend, our most beloved coffee enjoyed in more than 60 countries around the world. Since 1984, Starbucks has created its special Christmas Blend coffee every year, showcasing its artistry in roasting and blending. In creating the 2016 blend, Starbucks ages the rare Sumatra beans for up to five years, and as the coffee rests, it develops a cedary, deep and earthy flavor. These beans are then combined with robust coffee beans from Asia-Pacific and vibrant coffee beans from Latin America resulting in a full-bodied coffee that pairs well with a variety of Christmas foods, from savory meals to sweet desserts such as the all-time favorite Starbucks Chocolate Toffee Nut Loaf.  This year’s Starbucks¼ Christmas Blend stands apart with pronounced flavors and deep, intriguing layers of spiciness and sweetness.

Customers are invited to choose their favorite Starbucks Christmas Blend from a range of formats to suit their tastes and preferences. Coffee connoisseurs can enjoy whole bean offerings, or share the joy of Christmas with Starbucks¼ Christmas Blend Origamiℱ, a delightful and convenient single-use filter for the perfect portioned cup of coffee on-the-go. Another thoughtful gift for busy coffee lovers is Starbucks VIA¼ Ready Brew Christmas Blend, an instant Starbucks kick to create Christmas in a cup – wherever, whenever.christmas-blend-2Customers can also explore the deeper, darker Starbucks¼ Christmas Blend Espresso Roast – an added option alongside Starbucks signature Espresso Roast in handcrafted espresso beverages this season.

The nuanced flavor of our rare aged Sumatra evokes the richness of the season in this bold coffee, inspired by the tradition of Christmas Blend. The addition of dark-roasted Latin American and Indonesian beans lends a caramelly sweetness and hearty spiciness with vibrant cedary spice layers.

Complementary Flavors: Ginger, orange, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, caramelized sugar

STARBUCKSÂź CHRISTMAS BLEND

“Vintage 2016” on our bag celebrates this coffee’s unique blend and roast, bringing forward what’s special about this coffee and the year we created it.

Each year our rare aged Sumatra gives Christmas Blend its heart and soul. Sumatran beans take on such intriguing flavors over time – and so we tend them meticulously for up to five years, specially roasting the beans at the exact moment of readiness. Adding lively Latin American and mellow Indonesian coffees completes this blend, remarkably true to the season. Layered and rich with vibrant notes of cedary spice, this is vintage 2016.

Complementary Flavors: Orange, nutmeg, clove and cinnamonstarbucks-christmas-2016-6Great coffee can only be paired with great tasting food. Customers can now look forward to the return of their favorites; Chocolate Toffee Nut Loaf, Peppermint Brownie, Gingerbread Cookie, Chicken Fajita Roll and the Chocolate Crepe Cake. Starbucks is also bringing in new delectable food items to celebrate the festive season; the Single-Origin Chocolate Cake made with Venezuelan Cocoa Beans, Chocolate Fudge Cheesecake, Triple Chocolate Truffle Cookie, Chocolate Cruffin, Cranberry Bliss Bar, Chicken and Turkey with Cranberry Sauce on Croissant Baguette and the Croque Monsieur on Croissant Baguette.

To celebrate the spirit of the season, Starbucks invites customers to participate in the upcoming Christmas Grand Launch to be held on October 29 and 30 at the Grand Atrium of Shangri-la Plaza in Mandaluyong City.

December 4, 1997, the Philippines had its first taste of the Starbucks Experience with its very first branch at the 6750 Ayala Building in Makati City. Starbucks has since won the hearts of the Filipinos. The opening of the 6750 Ayala store marked an important milestone in our history – the Philippines became the third market to open outside North America. The tradition of warm hospitality, constant need for connection, and love for coffee – these are the qualities that make Starbucks Coffee and the Filipino people a great culture fit.

Rudy Project

By | Sports | No Comments

  Welcome to Manila Rudy Barbazza @rudyproject1985 of Rudy Project @rudyworld Celebrating 30 years ( 17 years in the Philippines )!  Congratulations Gabriele @gabrielegboschi  and Julie Boschi of @rudyprojectph #RudyProjectPh #RudyBarbazza #RudyProjectPh30
rudy-project-1 rudy-project-8 rudy-project-7 rudy-project-6 rudy-project-4 rudy-project-5 rudy-project-3 rudy-project-2Rudy Barbazza, Founder of the performance eyewear brand Rudy Project, has always been a man with a plan. He has always believed that “Every big journey begins with the first step.”

“Because a Bet is a Bet”

In 1985 Rudy Barbazza was challenged by a friend to sell sunglasses to athletes. He took that challenge personally, as a project. Since then, that project became known around the world as Rudy Project.

He created Rudy Project with the firm conviction to improve the performance of athletes all over the world.  A love of progress, a passion for style and a keen eye for quality all contributed to give life to his Vision:  the world’s most technologically advanced sports eyewear.

Rudy Project works in cooperation with athletes from all fields, listening to what they want and need.  Rudy Project never stops researching to find the latest and best materials available to realize cutting- edge products.

Technically cool:  the two words that can best sum up this Vision:  the two words that best describe the DNA of each and every design carrying the brand Rudy Project.

Rudy Project designs and manufactures hi-tech sunglasses, goggles and helmets by applying the most advanced science, materials engineering and computer technology.

Rudy Project is known for providing the absolute best RX solutions for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts around the world. In addition to our unparalleled customer service standards, we pride ourselves on always being on the cutting edge of technological innovations for all of our products using two superior lens technologies: RP Opticsℱ and ImpactXℱ.

“When passion is paired with courage, a masterpiece is born”

Conceived in the city of Treviso in the region of Veneto and deeply rooted in the land responsible for its inspiration, Rudy Project quickly became an international reality. As a leader in sports eyewear, it now produces and distributes sport sunglasses, prescription glasses, helmets, goggles and other sport accessories of the highest technical quality.

ADVANCED SCIENCE. DISTINCTIVE DESIGN. SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE

A sports eyewear leader for 30 years, Rudy Project is leading a race that knows no limits: the continuous pursuit of excellence in its materials, design and performance. Rudy Project is an established brand above all because of its performance sunglasses, RX solutions, as well as goggles and helmets of the highest technical level. It’s a company that knows sports extremely well, and listens to the needs of its players in order to ensure winning solutions. Since 1985, Rudy Project has been a worldwide leading company for products made in Italy, and with a new generation of leadership in the form of founder Rudy Barbazza’s own two sons, Cristiano and Simone, that success is sure to continue.

“We represent the top range of sporting eyewear and we manufacture everything 100% in Italy,” related Cristiano Barbazza, Chairman and CEO of the company. “To satisfy the needs of our athletes, we offer high-performance products which are highly customizable, such as our award-winning prescription solutions for athletes who need vision correction. Our customer base, who we manage to reach all over the world through optical and sports distribution channels, is often represented by very specific niche markets who recognize the value of our products.”

Established with the aim of improving the performance levels of athletes around the world, Rudy Project has had great success as a result of its constant investments in the development of new materials and technologies for lenses and frames. By making total quality in each product part of its core ideology, the brand has experienced rapid growth and adoption by pros in every field.

Love for progress, passion for style and attention to quality have given rise to an exclusive collection of technologically advanced sports accessories. “Technically Cool” is an elegant but powerful slogan that best expresses the DNA of every Rudy Project creation. Used by more than ten-thousand professional athletes in all sports, all over the world, it is no coincidence that Rudy Project has taken away countless awards and prestigious titles, such as Best Aero Helmet from Triathlete Magazine, Timeless & Breakthrough Design awards from Men’s Journal, 2x Gear of the Year from Outside Magazine, and Most Worn Helmet of the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, for the last four consecutive years.

Many internationally-renowned champions choose Rudy Project to help them win,” says Simone Barbazza, Rudy Project marketing manager. “From champions in the Triathlon world such as Andy Potts, to golfer Edoardo Molinari and the biggest cyclists and teams, not to mention motorcycle stars like Cyril Despres, Bradley Smith, Alexis Espargaro, Scott Redding, Jenson Button, Dani Pedrosa and many others. In terms of quality, we do not compromise, so that we can satisfy the most demanding sports stars”.

With 30 years of experience in developing performance eyewear, Rudy Project developed the most technologically advanced eyewear.

FOTONYK: PERFORMANCE EMPOWERED

Performance empowered. The Fotonyk cutting-edge features, superior comfort, and breathtaking design have been seamlessly merged together into one masterpiece.rudy-project-10The Fotonyk contains a multitude of technologies, but the most distinctive feature is the new ‘Bumpers’ system.

Bumpers are available in an array of colors, and are interchangeable for individual style.

The Fotonyk boasts an ultra-light yet robust design, which features air channels strategically placed at the top of the lens where heat accumulates during activity.  Building upon Rudy Project’s award-winning ‘Vent Controller’ system, users can easily manage the internal airflow with a single click up or down of the lens, bringing their comfort experience to a whole new level. Air circulates in and out through large vents inside the temples, which ensures reduced aerodynamic drag and optimized fog control. These frames additionally feature the new Ergonose X, allowing the user to adjust the nosepiece for any face shape.

Always at the peak of optical science, Rudy Project is committed to deliver unsurpassed visual performance. The Fotonyk is available with many lens configurations including ImpactX¼, the world’s most advanced photochromic lens technology, engineered to ensure unbeatable eye protection.

Thus, making it easier to create any salon-gorgeous style—from home.tresemme-2Naturally found in the flat cells of the hair strands, keratin is a protein that keeps the hair elastic and is responsible for smoothening, flattening, and strengthening each strand. These proteins diminish on their own, or over time due to physical and chemical factors such as combing, towel-drying, heat treatment, chemical coloring, and the like. It is essential to use hardworking keratin-rich hair maintenance products to prevent frizz and dry locks. Each product in the TRESemmĂ© Keratin Smooth line is made to give you the smooth and straight hair of your dreams—for longer!
