The Art of Time

Last Tuesday, July 29,2014, I attended a Private Launch of 

one of the biggest watch brand to invade the Philippines. 

The exclusive affair was held in The Gramercy

located in Century City.

Just check out this spectacular view from the top 

The launch was graced by VIP guests, celebrities and people from the media industry.

Checkout the spotlight on the beautiful Sister Secrets Councilor Charisse Abalos  

having a good tie cmhatting with Shamcey Supsup-Lee and husband Lloyd Lee (across). 

Mr. and Mrs. Lee were actually the earlybirds for the evening.

Meet the hosts for the night:
Eri Neeman and the stunning Karen Bordador of Sister Secrets 



So what's the latest buzz?

It's about time that I introduce them: Max XL.

Max XL are premium timepieces from the Netherlands.

The brand has already made a name in Italy, Russia, Hong Kong, 

Japan, and now to invade the Philippines.

While looking at Max XL's various watch collection, 

there is one that caught my attention: 

Max full IP chrono watch- 44mm- IP Gold

from The Artisan Collection

If you've been following my blog posts, I'm sure you know by now

that my style is chic yet classy. 

This classic gold chronograph is a perfect fit to my personality. 

Since I have a very uptight schedule as a businesswoman and

a fashion blogger and stylist, the classic design and color of this 

chrono watch allows me to easily pair it with any look.

Simply the promise of every pair of Max XL: Maximum style and identity 

The Artisan collection has 4 gorgeous colors to choose from:

Gold (obviously my favorite), silver, rose gold and black.

All are equipped with steel case, brown dial, date calendar and

solid steel band with extra flip-lock safety.

And if you're up for some attitude,

then these oversized model timepieces are for you.

It ranges from the round 42mm diameter series to the XXL-sized 55mm Aviator series.

Meet the brand ambassadors of Max XL Philippines:

Sid Maderazo, Abby Asistio and Rico Blanco

A big congratulations to the entire team who brought 

Max XL to the country, 

Mr. Christopher Tan, Director of Max XL,

Jerry Tiu, Kristieanna Pangan-Lacson and Carlo Mendoza.

Max XL timepieces range from P10,000-P30,000 and are available

in Greenbelt 5, Bratpack - Shangrila Mall East Wing, Alabang Town Center,

 Robinson's Magnolia, Washington-Shangrila and Glorietta.

Whatever lifestyle you have, there's a perfect pair for you, so grab a pair now :)

To cap off my post, here's what I wore to the event for a MAXimum Look. 

A pre-event shoot in broad daylight :)

As expected, dark and neutral colors would be the go-to color of 

Max XL guests because of the event's location.

Because I wanted something different but would still totally complement

my personality, checkout my color of choice.

Shades of blue and green, combined with black and gold combo

A color choice that exudes a distinct character.

Remember dear readers, cliche as it may sound,

a quote that I try to live by

"You don't have to fit in when you're born to standout" :)

And just for the record, if anyone thought that I'm wearing a dress,

it's actually a top and skirt that I combined to create an oomph of uniqueness.

Dare to be different and make the MAXimum happen :)

Love,

DTC All-Star Ambassador

Last May 5, 2014, DTC Mobile held an exclusive media event at Diamond Hotel to unveil an exciting partnership between DTC and professional basketball athletes. The surprising news is that DTC did not only choose 1 baller to be ambassador but instead chose 5 of them. DTC chose the quintet for their dedication, revolutionary style and powerful performance -similar traits shared by DTC.

The all-star ambassador roster includes

Ryan Araña, Rain or Shine shooting guard

Simon Atkins, Air 21 point guard

Rommel Niño “KG” Canaleta, Talk ‘N Text power forward

Gary David, 3-time PBA All-Star Meralco Bolts shooting guard 

Willie Miller, 11-time PBA All-Star Redbull point guard

This is the first time that DTC has launched its own ambassadors since the company’s founding in 2011, making the said athletes the company’s pioneer advocates. Their addition is expected to bring the brand closer to its consumers. As five of the most exceptional players in the league, they symbolize active but practical living, which DTC consumers also exemplify.

Ferdinand Buensalida Jr., General Manager for DTC, elaborates on the partnership: “DTC is a brand that capitalizes on a strong commitment to customer satisfaction through the power of innovative technology and human ingenuity. We consider our people as one of our best assets.”

He adds, “picking our pioneer ambassadors came as a no-brainer. They are all the crème de la crème of their field and we are honored to welcome more people into our team who share our mission of putting dedication, skills, performance, style and creativity at the heart of everything. These fine gentlemen are an epitome of what DTC is all about, and we’re glad that more than affiliates, they are now friends of the brand.”

Only a few months shy of its third anniversary in the industry, DTC anticipates a more power-packed year with the addition of their first brand ambassadors, plus new smart gadgets in the pipeline, which are expected for release before the third quarter of 2014 ends.

About DTC

Anne Curtis: Plains & Prints Newest It Girl

Last August 23, 2013 at Glorietta 1 Activity Center Palm Drive, 

Plains & Prints formally launched the #perfectpartnership.

Yes, you guessed it right. That is

PLAINS & PRINTS + Anne Curtis + ME (representing you) = Perfect Partnership

Plains & Prints is undoubtedly one of the top local brands in the country. 

Their RTW clothing line is very fashionable, chic and modern.  

Congratulations Mrs. Roxanne Farillas for choosing Anne Curtis as the newest endorser.

She's definitely the perfect fit for the brand.

Anne Curtis has 5,206,099 twitter followers as of August 26, 2013 11:35 PM. 

Imagine how incredible this woman is.

In fact, this is how Glorietta looked like while everyone was waiting for her to arrive.

After hours of waiting, Anne finally arrived.

She performed David Guetta's Titanium and Katy Perry's Fireworks.

Her dynamic performance stunned everybody and all those waiting was indeed worth it.

She is definitely one hell of a performer, no wonder she has a lot of fans.

She also gave these 2 kids the opportunity to sing with her during her Fireworks performance.

Another highlight of the event was the Meet and Greet 

wherein chosen fans get to be Upclose and personal with their idol on-stage.

 Anne Curtis congratulated each of the lucky participants and personally awarded them their prizes. 

I am damn lucky to be part of this :)

Since there were other bloggers present in the event, they were able to take a few photos of me

which I wanna keep in this blog post as a memory. These 2 photos below don't belong to me. 

Credits written below each photo. Thank you :)

So anyways back to my camera once again. 

Here are the 5 lucky selected OOTD winners 

And here are the other winners who got lucky to bring home Plains & Prints goodies as well.

I am very grateful to Plains & Prints for this amazing opportunity.

I never thought I would meet Anne who has been my inspiration ever since.

Someday I do hope to be part of another Plains & Prints event and collaborate with them.

The way Anne carries herself is very admirable. This brand will certainly go a long way :)

This is one of my favorite pictures of Anne during the event.

Her face depicts so much emotions.

She's definitely a beautiful person inside out.

I've always said this in my blog and I'm happy that Anne also emphasized it.

Let me reiterate, you don't have to follow trends to become fashionable. 

Just make sure that you're comfortable with what you wear 

because that is where true beauty radiates :)

In the words of Anne Curtis: "I said Yes to the brand because it is me."
