<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know I haven't posted in a while, it's because something exciting is coming up soon! I will keep you posted about this and I do hope you will continue to support me in this new endeavor of mine :) In the meantime, I would like to share with you a not-so-new-discovery of mine:</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For more than 260 years, the first thermal spring facility in </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Avène continues to treat patients with atopic dermatities, eczema, psoriasis and burns. Now, in the 21st century, it has expanded its facility via skin caring products that have been made available worldwide.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Two product lines that my family loves are the sun care and whitening ranges. I know, opposite collections, right? But for us, Filipinos, who love the sand and the sun; we need the best sun care protection to keep our skin cancer-free and looking young. We don't want our skin to age faster with wrinkled skin caused by sun exposure, don't you agree? As complementary to this sun care line, the whitening line that will help us even out our sun spots, blemishes and scars.</span></div>

<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Laboratoires Dermatologiques </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Avène has long had their sun care line, but they recently added </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The SunSitive protection® FORMULA INNOVATION, which combines high-performance and high-tolerance photo-protective complex with a powerful anti-oxidant for cellular protection and Avène Thermal Spring Water for its soothing qualities.

<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To support your sun care line (more so during the off-summer season), why don't you try </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Avène's whitening range? The line boasts of myrtle extract that prevents melanin production and regulates skin pigmentation. It also has Ascorbyl Glucoside, otherwise known as Vitamin C, that controls the source of skin pigmentation. It's also known to repair skin cells that are damaged by ultraviolet rays. Frequent usage reduces cell damage and promotes collagen synthesis to give firmer skin. Now, that's double duty action - whitens and firms!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">

Tiesto then rose to popularity in the early 2000s after his performance at the Live at Innercity: Amsterdam RAI party, and the release of his first solo album entitled In My Memory. Since then, the Dutch musician has been making and producing award-winning Electronic Dance Music (EDM) hits and albums, holding concert tours and parties all over the world, and receiving countless recognition for his music. One of Tiesto’s albums, Elements of Life, took the number one spot on the Dutch album chart and on Billboard Top Electronic Albums in the US, and was awarded Best Electronic Dance Album in 2008. One of Tiesto’s most notable performances, on the other hand, was at the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, making him the very first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympic event. The legendary EDM record producer was also the very first DJ to rank #1 in the Top 100 DJs list by DJ Magazine for 3 consecutive years. He also received the Best International DJ award in 2008 at the DJ Awards, and earned other titles such as The #1 DJ of 2008 and The Best DJ of All Time, both given by Mixmag magazine; The 40<sup>th</sup> Greatest Dutch Citizen of All Time and Officer of the Order of Orange – Nassau by the Dutch Royalty in 2003; and International Dance4Life Ambassador in 2006.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The genuine art of corset-making is known by only a handful in our country, even less appreciated. Mention the word to the younger generation and they think it’s just another fashion piece.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But to those who got married, and to those who gave birth, most of them would know about the benefits of wearing a corset:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">(1) making you instantly look slimmer by taking off at least 2-3 inches from your waist</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">(2) helping you lose inches around your waist by wearing it everyday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ask them where to have one made, and they will surely recommend “Betty’s.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">An icon in her own right, Betty Rulloda has been making corsets since 1965. Celebrities, politicians and socialites have asked her to make customized corsets for over four decades. And why wouldn’t they? Betty’s girdles, or what’s called the “Magic Camison” come with a lifetime free of alterations: every time you lose the inches, her team can tighten it up for you so you can continue losing inches.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">All these I learned from, who else, but my mom. She has been religiously wearing Betty's corsets ever since she gave birth to me. Her slim figure is a testament to the benefits of wearing a girdle. And being an obedient daughter, I had girdles made a few weeks (or even days, I think) after I gave birth. That, with a healthy lifestyle and diet, got me slimmer faster.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Although best known for it’s slimming benefits, corsets are also used in the medical field. It also serves as a posture corrector and helps relieve back pain problems such as Sciatica, which causes severe pain on your legs or lower part of your body. Betty Rulloda proudly shares that they are “recommended by doctors and specialists for scoliosis and osteoporosis prevention and treatment.” Of course, it is always recommended that you ask your doctor’s advice before giving Betty’s a call.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Like any other corset or girdle, wearing these can make your body sweat, but wearing Betty’s gives you more comfort as it’s made of breathable cotton. And unlike the stretchable mainstream ones, Betty’s (when worn) keeps your figure the same all throughout the day. It doesn't follow the size of your bloated tummy, after eating a heavy meal. In fact, it keeps your appetite in check, as one can only eat as much your girdle can expand ;)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Actress/Professional Dancer Regine Tolentino is also a fan of Betty's: "As a professional dancer being sexy and slim is a major factor with my career. Thanks for Bettys body form, it really helps me in my posture and to keep me fit. I love you Mommy Betty, you make me sooooo sexy." </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">More often that not, when you're too busy thinking about work... you tend to grab the easiest clothing pieces to wear for work. I try to avoid wearing the same clothes within a month or so, but opted to work with basics like this gray maxi.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">About two weeks ago, I reincarnated this gray maxi, and paired it with pops of neon:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23900127@N04/8925743444/" title="gray maxi by janietulip, on Flickr"><img alt="gray maxi" height="500" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5462/8925743444_726b878224.jpg" width="375" /></a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The neon pink top was too loose on me, so I wore it over the maxi.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Belted it with a neon yellow cord as a breaker to this long ensemble.<br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23900127@N04/8925142845/" title="gray maxi by janietulip, on Flickr"><img alt="gray maxi" height="500" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5347/8925142845_ab65b24a0c.jpg" width="375" /></a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I love rose gold :) I accessorized with these sandals and Michael Kors chronograph watch.<br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23900127@N04/8925164105/" title="gray maxi by janietulip, on Flickr"><img alt="gray maxi" height="500" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5328/8925164105_89a0296a16.jpg" width="375" /></a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Fresh from the laundry, I picked this maxi again and matched it with this floral chiffon jacket, with pink wedge sneakers. It was the perfect outfit to wear to the store, as I attended an event at SM Aura Premier that day—gotta be chic and comfy for working days "in the field" :)<br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23900127@N04/8925723234/" title="suite blanco outfit by janietulip, on Flickr"><img alt="suite blanco outfit" height="500" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2854/8925723234_47cc1444c8.jpg" width="375" /> </a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">From lounge chic to street wear, a solid-colored maxi can be very much like a little black dress. You can definitely have fun with this basic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*all items are from Forever 21, unless mentioned. Pink wedge sneakers from Ebay.com; black sling bag from Chloe.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Hubby was busy last Saturday morning, so I was left with the boys at home. I had to do some errands in Divisoria + grocery shopping, and JJ insisted on tagging along, so I brought him and the yaya with me. It was his first Divi experience, and yaya and I held on to him tightly.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This is a delayed post, been so busy with work that I wasn't able to upload this. The other Sunday, hubby and I were godparents to Denise Ashley. We brought the kids to the party proper and JJ had a great time there, while baby JP enjoyed the sweets and the colorful decor/balloons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23900127@N04/8890929877/" title="Birthday party by janietulip, on Flickr"><img alt="Birthday party" height="500" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5470/8890929877_636a00499e.jpg" width="375" /></a></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For the first game, the kids were asked to go on stage. It felt like watching a school program, with all the parents taking photos of their kiddos :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Personalized named Aquazorb were given to the kids as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Here's my last post on the Metrowear Icon event—my outfit post:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">While waiting for my mom, I tried to take a photo of myself inside the hotel's restroom.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Nice attempt with the mirrored frames, but it didn't do my outfit justice hehe...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Love this angled shot though...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Here's another shot taken when I got home. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This ensemble is made by designer Ronaldo Arnaldo. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It's the first time I wore this high-low ombre top </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">with beaded glitter skirt and sheer hemline.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My mom recently gave me her "old" rings, but they were too big for me. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Good thing wearing a lot of rings are a trend right now, </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">so this makes a good excuse for me to pile on these blings ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Completing the outfit were my Prada clutch and Missoni heels.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I sure miss attending events where I get to dress up. It's been a while since I brought out these babies, if you know what I mean :D Here's to more events and outfit posts — hopefully!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;">I normally stay home with the family on a Sunday night, but last Sunday was different. I got two tickets to the Samsung Metrowear Icon Rajo Laurel, and it was just too good to pass up :)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Of course, Samsung was the major sponsor. Look at that slim TV!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;">My date for the night was, who else?, but my mom:</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The invite said cocktails at 7PM, doors will open at 8PM. But like any event, it didn't start on time. And we were just waiting outside the ballroom while we waited for the doors to open, so we spent the time munching on yummy sweets. Here's an instagram shot that I posted that night:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Now, if only I had the abs to wear this one ;)</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">By around 830PM, we were welcomed into the ballroom. Live flute music was provided for a relaxing and soothing vibe:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Before 9PM, host Teresa Herrera went on stage. I just had to take a photo of her back—a contrasting mix of sweet dominatrix style, don't you agree?</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I particularly love the drama of these white and black hoops on model Jasmine Maierhoffer </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Months of hard work finally paid off last weekend — my newest baby opened with a bang at SM Aura Premier. I know everyone was talking about Sarah Jessica Parker and the mall, but I was just too busy preparing for my latest store. Yes, I love my store too much to leave it and run to the press con to take a glimpse of SJP. Sigh! There will be other opportunities.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But, moving on... May 16 and 17 were really busy days for the whole F21 team, so I hardly got to document everything :o Here are a glimpse of what my life was like in those two days :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">If political candidates are stressed over the May 13 elections, I am stressed over my next store opening set this May 16/17 :o </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It's the usual stress, so it's not something my team can't handle. Stress is always part of life. You just gotta go with the flow :) Right now, I am dreaming of massages, which I will surely get to have after the store (Forever 21) opens :D</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Luckily, hubby and I were able to squeeze a massage appointment last week at Ki by Neo Day Spa in Wilson St., Greenhills. Neo Spa is one of my fave establishments. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Their receptionists are always warm and welcoming, taking their time to explain their services. I especially love their uniform. I wanted to take photos so I can share them with you, but the ladies were pretty shy...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I love the simplicity of the whole place. The interiors and the music are all in sync, making our massage session a relaxing one. Of course, their masseuses are well-trained an equipped to give you the best massages ;)</span><br />

Finally, our very own Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From 4PM onwards, the 12-hour music festival was filled with compositions by both local and international artists such as Afrojack, Apster, Alex Gaudino, Cedrice Gervais, Cobra Starship, Dev, Jump Smokers, Sandwich, Sponge Cola and Urbandub. Of course, this first massive get-together for music and party lovers was made even more memorable with amazing lights and pyrotechnic visual explosions. Check out who made it to the hottest event and what they wore to the festivities:</span><br />

She is my fashion foundation. One of my strongest childhood memories with her is her love for Lancel bags, which is why I am so happy that Lancel has been making quite a comeback for the past few years.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One chic utilitarian bag that I love is the Brigitte Bardot (BB) bucket bag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23900127@N04/8712045235/" title="Lancel BBardot_A04801-D2 by janietulip, on Flickr"><img alt="Lancel BBardot_A04801-D2" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8560/8712045235_ab2cf9a438.jpg" width="375" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I know, I know! It's so '80s, right? This style definitely brings back good ol' days, but in a more feminine design. The details that I love about this bag is it's shiny light gold hardware, the twisted leather handles, the tassles, and the extra sling! Of course, it doesn't hurt that it's in a nice summer shade of fuchsia pink, too ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This Mother's Day, the European brand is giving 30% discount on all regular items from their Brigitte Bardot and Daligramme collections, from May 1-15 only. Visit their shop at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall to get great deals (and gifts for your mom and maybe, yourself too)!</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>Jane Kingsu-Chenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554604130425229880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862250393994138521.post-89166858666684703602013-05-03T00:00:00.000+08:002013-05-03T00:00:12.105+08:00See You At The Sale!<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: small;">I know it's been a looooong time since I've shared anything online via this blog (I've been more active on instagram - follow me at janekingsucheng), but I hope this entry will excite you as much as the event did for me and my fellow guests :)</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Today is the start of the much awaited annual "Make Your Own Havaianas" event. I can't believe this is their 8th year, which means I have eight customized Havs already :o I think I'm an addict ;) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Like always, the Havaianas team is prepared to accommodate tens of thousands of "havaianaticos" to the Rockwell Tent. You'll be greeted with several tents with installations as you wait your turn at the main venue: </span></div>
