Carlton Travel Bag's 2010 Collection Launch
Who knew red and purple would be big in travel fashion? Carlton did! At their recent launch held at Megamall's posh Atrium, luggage, airport bags, and trolleys ramped down the runway and made guests drool over bold colors married with sophisticated design.
Style and Relax + Toxic Disco Boy
Everyone wanted a bold red or a purple beauty bag that stands out from a mile. Carlton has done a great job capturing the two colors, it's just so in style.
Carlton also showed guests how to wear their stylish travel gear. Of course, never forget your big sunnies or aviator shades. Unlike what travelers are used to, Carlton showed how using matching bags and luggage can unravel a fierce traveling fashionista.
Over at the Carlton store, guests availed of discounted bags. I got a red beauty bag that can double as a diaper bag :) If you want to make the most out of your next travel, experience it with Carlton - visit their new store at SM Megamall's Atrium.

Gourmet Farm Tagaytay Tour
Here's an escape plan that is easily attainable for stressed out girls and boys. The Gourmet Farm in Tagaytay is around1 and a half hour away from Manila and for just Php 80, you can enjoy walking in nice weather coupled with breathtaking views of plants and other greens!
I've always known Gourmet because of their Roman Garlic. At some point, I was very addicted to this spread which I get during food expos. Gourmet also sells lettuce and mixed greens, sometimes you can spot them in the grocery. When I checked out their website a long time ago, I learned that their farm is open to those who want to learn about planting herbs, etc.
Finally, I was able to drop by Gourmet's farm and experienced for myself nature tripping at its best. Fresh rosemary, thyme, basil, and parsley where systematically planted in the farm which is almost the size of a hacienda. Lettuce were bountiful and one can imagine bringing their favorite dressing, sit by the plants and just pick on the leaves for an instant salad.
The landscape and weather are perfect for a relaxing getaway, breathe in as much fresh air as you can :) Gourmet Farm also has a restaurant where you can enjoy their produce among other menu items. We tried their banaba iced tea which came with the tour fee of Php 80, super refreshing, fresh, and healthy.
Gourmet farm offers catering and their venue as well for weddings, children's parties, and other occassions. They also have a retreat house which was closed during our visit because it was being occupied by a private school having their retreat.
The place is also wifi enabled, I will definitely be back soon with my laptop :) I went home with parsley and corriander plants for the kitchen, now I can enjoy fresh herbs from the pot. They are sold at Gourmet's for Php 90 each.
Nike Sportswear's N98 Track Jacket and Air Max Gen II
Since its inception, Nike Sportswear has made a virtue of the ethos of evolution, crafting iconic products with innovative materials and defining designs. Nike Sportswear pushes the invisible wall between where the athlete stops playing and starts living.
The Spring/Summer 2010 product fuses innovation and sport heritage to enable Nike Sportswear to create new expressions of sport style.
The Nike Sportswear Icon series will see two newly remixed classics: the N98 Track Jacket and the Grand Slam Polo take center stage. The N98 Track Jacket was introduced in 1998 and was worn by teams like the Brazilian national football team. Its 2010 redesign features enhancements such as a flat knit rib collar and cuffs, bonded seams, and double-welded, zippered pockets. The Grand Slam Polo traces its heritage from the tennis court to the sidelines of sport stadiums around the world. Its new incarnation has been crafted to keep the wearer cool and dry with details like a subtle vented collar, the flat-knit fabric for the interior and even the size of buttons.
FROM MEDAL STANDS TO THE STREET Inspired by a match that moved the world, the N98 Track Jacket stands for “National 1998,” notably paying tribute to the 1998 Brazilian National Team. The N98 design takes off from the debut Brazilian team kit by Nike, tapping the classic zip-front track jacket’s deep heritage as a true icon of sport style. The Nike Sportswear team has made it a signature piece for spring, integrating it throughout the line, including creating a premium version for NSW Collection with Gore Windstopper fabric, laser-cut bonded RiRi zippers and reflective film across the back piping.
In preparation for a summer of football, the Nike Sportswear footwear design team joined forces with Nike Football to explore the needs of some of the world’s greatest footballers when they leave the field of play. Focused on solving the needs of the athletes, the result is a technical solution called Torch
TORCH AND AIR MAX BW GEN II (P5,995)
Torch is a lightweight, moisture-managing, supremely comfortable three-layer textile. The outer layer features a visually stunning, protective diamond pattern that holds its shape and won’t crease at stress points like traditional materials. The middle layer offers a lightweight structural element that stands up to a post-match cool-down or an active day around town. The inner layer provides moisture-managing breathability to keep the foot cool and allow for a period of rest after a game.
Torch has also been integrated into several classic Nike silhouettes for Spring/Summer 2010. The Air Max BW Gen II, Air Force 1 and Air Maxim 1 all get the Torch treatment, as well as technical enhancements such as welded uppers and natural motion soles. The Air Max BW Gen II was originally introduced in 1991 and has been a cult favorite of runners and sneakerheads ever since.

Levi's Jeans - Modern Vintage Collection Launch
Levi's has unveiled another collection from their illustrious archive called Modern Vintage. The jeans' colors and details scream vintage, like a pair of your favorite jeans but the cut and fit suits today's modern style.
For women, the Modern Vintage collection is available in slim fit and boyfriend fit. Both look great with the right ensemble and always, with a pair of high heeled shoes. After watching the show, I am convinced that Lev's is aiming for a sexy rock chic look which they have clearly achieved.
Take a cue from these models on how to wear you favorite Levi's jeans.
As I am on my 4th month of pregnancy, I got a pair of jeans that would hopefully fit me post-pregnancy. I like how Levi's jeans perfectly fit my buttocks and thighs at the same time without extra spaces hanging in unexpected places.
The collection is now available in all Levi's outlet and stores nationwide. It is the first offering of the brand to their fashion forward fans this 2010. In connection with the Modern Vintage collection, Levi's is also launching a website www.levismodernvintage.com where you can put your favorite Levi's ensemble in a virtual time capsule.

P.S. Pardon my super loud voice because the venue is also super noisy :D
The Body Shop brings back the Originals
After a long hiatus from events, I just had to go to Body Shop and celebrate their originals line which they have brought back from the 80's. With other beauty bloggers, we smelled, swiped, and even tasted Body Shop's flavor with the help of White Hat.
Here are the originals, I like both passion fruit and cucumber flavors. The originals range from moisturizers, body washes, cleansing water, to make-up removers. I got to bring home and try the cucumber milk cleanser - so soft on the skin and mild.
It is suppose to remove your makeup without the need to use a makeup remover. So, it is a cleanser and makeup remover in one bottle :) It leaves a moisturizing film on the skin, I can just feel it but as my skin is oily, I think I will use it sparingly. This product is best for dry skin.
Then, for the preggy me - I have the famous Body Butter of The Body Shop too in Shea Butter flavor. Super yummy! Don't you wish you can just eat it? It glides easily on my tummy and is best used after your warm shower. It should keep your tummy and other parts of your body moisturized to prevent stretchmarks from forming. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
All the preggy ladies! Me, Kim, and Billie :)
Thanks to The Body Shop team for the wonderful time, girls just love quizzes and surprises. Not to forget, our favorite White Hat yogurt which was overflowing during the occasion.
