Four-Leaf Clover Charm Necklace

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | 3 Comments

A four leaf clover is supposed to be lucky…is that why Carrie Bradshaw is lucky?  🙂  Watch out for the necklace in the upcoming movie Sex and The City 2!

America’s Style Icon, Patricia Field, and long-time partner, Payless ShoeSource, unveiled today the next item under the Patricia Field for Payless designer label — a four-leaf clover charm necklace inspired by Field’s recent work as stylist and custom designer creating the fashion for the movie Sex and the City 2

The silver-toned necklace features a four-leaf clover charm encrusted with multiple pavé-set sparkly jewels.  The charm hangs from an 18-inch delicate textured cable chain with a lobster claw clasp and a two-inch extender, allowing the necklace to be worn long or short with a range of necklines to emphasize the unique, sparkly clover charm.

The Patricia Field for Payless necklace is expected in stores, due to grand open in July in the Philippines.

  

“I love charms and believe in their value both spiritually and stylistically,” said Patricia Field, who in addition to her styling and custom design work for movies and television, has been the stylist for Payless’ TV and print ads, and store lifestyle signage for years.

 

“This necklace is inspired by my work styling the upcoming Sex and the City 2 movie.  The classic endurance of the lucky charm makes my four-leaf clover a meaningful and beautiful accessory for any woman,” said Field. “I believe in the fashion democracy and making amazing fashion available for all to enjoy.  I also believe women should work to create their personal sense of style that tells their own fashion story.  And accessories are key in doing that and  Payless’ seasonal collections offer a wide range of items for women to affordably complete a signature look, including my new necklace.”

 

According to Payless, the four-leaf clover charm necklace is the first of additional charmed items to come from the Patricia Field-Payless collaboration.

 

“We love working with Patricia.  She is America’s Style Icon and a tremendous design talent creating unique fashion stories covering everything from the big screen and TV to Payless stores,”  said LuAnn Via, CEO of Payless. “We are thrilled to partner with her to democratize fashion, and we are excited to bring this unique charm necklace to Payless shoppers next week.”

 

About Patricia Field for Payless

Field has had a long-standing and close relationship with Payless for years — styling the retailer’s ads and creating capsule collections.  In 2007, when she was nominated for an Oscar® for her costume designs for “The Devil Wears Prada,” Field and Payless collaborated to create her one-of-a-kind “red carpet shoes” a platform heel with an ankle strap featuring an edgy mix of silver metallic and lime-colored snake skin.   The red carpet shoes became the inspiration for the Patricia Field for Payless “Holiday Red Carpet Collection” available later that year — and the Payless designer label was born. The new four-leaf clover necklace and forthcoming charmed items are the latest from the designer, available exclusively at Payless.

Urameshi Ya

By | Foodie | 4 Comments

Our friend, Mykie, has been telling us to eat at Urameshi ya.  Finally we tried the place

img_0355.JPG

It was our first time to go inside Little Tokyo- even if we are always in the area

img_0356.jpgimg_0357.jpgimg_0359.JPGimg_0360.JPG

Heating the charcoal for the Yakiniku

img_0361.jpgimg_0362.jpgimg_0363.jpgimg_0364.JPG

It’s a very small restaurant with booth seating.

img_0365.jpgimg_0374.jpg

 Poor Dad he had to climb to get inside the booth and the aircon in the restaurant was so hot that evening with one of the aircons not working well.  We should have just left 🙁  But anyway, make sure the aircon is working because the added heat from the griller makes it even hotter.  They do have exhaust but just make sure the aircon is functioning well

img_0389.JPGimg_0387.JPGimg_0379.JPG 

The menu is in Japanese….the waitress has to explain.  We only ordered the Yakiniku which is their specialty

img_0367.jpgimg_0368.jpgimg_0369.jpgimg_0370.jpgimg_0371.jpgimg_0372.jpgimg_0386.JPG

Yakiniku sauce – make sure to add the raw garlic 🙂

The grill

Beef Tongue

img_0378.JPG

 We tried 2 kinds of beef the Karubi and the Jyukusei Harami- of course as the price goes higher, the beef gets better 🙂 So make sure you save the best for last 🙂

Meisterstück Montblanc Diamond Takes the Art of Writing to New Heights

By | What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

The Montblanc Meisterstück has been regarded for over 85 years as a timeless icon of design and craftsmanship. Praised for its superior quality, the Meisterstück has become the most famous and sought after writing instrument of our time. Montblanc has now taken its icon product to new heights of beauty and exclusivity with the launch of the Meisterstück Montblanc Diamond.

ff_montblanc-le-grand-pr-2-010310.jpg

 

As if suspended in mid air, the Montblanc Diamond, in its entire splendor, is prominently featured in the dome of the writing instrument. Hand-crafted in the best European tradition, the black precious resin writing instrument is adorned with platinum plated fittings and a handcrafted 14K gold nib with a rhodium-plated inlay.  The idea behind the new writing instrument was to not alter the shape of the Meisterstück, but to actually enhance the object with the addition of a precious stone, the iconic Montblanc Diamond as well as the style element on the clip ring to enrich the overall design of the instrument. The distinctive traditional white resin Montblanc star as the Montblanc emblem on the top of the writing instrument now shines as a beautiful diamond.

 

The Montblanc Diamond which adorns the summit of the Meisterstuck Montblanc Diamond Writing Instrument, was first launched in 2006 after eight years of development. Internationally acclaimed for its unique craftsmanship and incredible sparkle, the patented 43 facet stone is masterfully carved into the shape of the Montblanc Star, the brand’s symbol representing the snowy peak of Europe’s highest mountain, the Mont Blanc. Over recent years, the Montblanc Diamond has become a favorite on the red carpet at award ceremonies, premieres and festivals all over the world.

Since its launch in 1924, the Montblanc Meisterstück has become the most famous and sought after writing instrument of our time. Its timeless design and handcrafted attributes have granted the Meisterstück global recognition as a modern design icon. As the epitome of unchanged perfection, assuming its function as the ultimate writing instrument – the Montblanc Meisterstück has become a precious tool for self-expression. The luxurious enhancement of the Meisterstuck Montblanc Diamond Writing Instrument with the iconic Montblanc Diamond increases the uniqueness of this piece and ensures it will become an even greater treasure for those privileged enough to own such a work of art.

montblanc-le-grand-pr-1b.jpg 

The Montblanc Meisterstück Diamond will be available in Montblanc Boutiques worldwide starting from June 2010.

 

 

In the Philippines, Montblanc is exclusively distributed by Rustan Commercial Corporation and is available at Rustan’s Makati and at Rustan’s Shangri-la Mall.
