Press Events and Beauty Editors

By | Fashion, Hot Off the Press | One Comment

 Heart2Heart wants to feature the people behind the magazines and newspapers that you read.  They are the ones who make sure that they inform everyone of all the new things out there and recommending products to use.  So many companies show them all the new products being launched and they pass them on to all of us through their features and articles in their publications.

It is not a surprise that  they are all so beautiful and they come so fashionable and all..which is maybe why they are called BEAUTY EDITORS 🙂 They fit the job so well! Sometimes i mistake them for the models.  Just looking at them is a show in itself 🙂

And of course the people who do a great job, work behind the scenes and put together the stores, the merchandising and launching all the new products out there – they are all BEAUTIFUL as well!

Even the venue and food are all planned out well….

Heart2Heart likes the fact that the menu is simple and easy to choose from.  Everything revolves around these dishes.  

dsc_0269.jpgdsc_0270.jpg

WOW!! Degustation is how Heart2Heart likes her meal 🙂 It is the best because you have a little of everything rather than trying and picking from everyone’s dish which I do all the time 🙂  The pace is also perfect and you get to talk and enjoy the company while having a proper meal. And not to forget good wine.  I am beginning to appreciate wine now with my meals

I hope they change the menu every now and then so we can try more of their dishes.  I hope to come back here many times because I love it…

Window Shopping at the Salcedo Market

By | Yummy! | 6 Comments

Last time we visited the Salcedo Market, these are the booths that caught Heart2Heart’s attention! Either because the display is attractive, it’s something new or it’s a unique offering.  Heart2Heart goes crazy even just window shopping at the market!

This has ben here for a long time and also can be found in the Salcedo market, but Heart2Heart loves pink and now loves PINK SALT! I will be getting my next supply from this booth

Remember last year’s summer fashion show?

Here Comes the Sun March 29, 2009 

Another fun one this year….SUMMER BREEZE at Rustan’s Kids.  

 

My two sons are not anymore willing to do kids fashion shows, But I still went to see the show and I truly enjoyed it!!! Kids just bring so much joy just by watching them!

rustans-summer-breeze.jpg

Heart2Heart attempted to take a video and though it is not clear, you can still see the show live and see how adorable the kids are and the reaction of the crowd which you cannot fully capture just by photos, so do watch them on video!!
