Time has been very essential to most people and one of the famous phrase was “TIME IS GOLD”. Indeed it is gold because lost time wouldn’t be converted into something else. The truth I’m not a very good example about time and not even a good model of it as well but the Tween Hearts are perhaps few of those celebrities that are good models of time.

A good way to entice shoppers in hunting for their best outfit was a short and stylish fashion show.  Yup!  During the first day of the Great Northern Sale of SM City North EDSA a fashion show was held at the The Block.  It was called "The Block Fashion Runway".   Shoppers were treated fro a free viewing of what's the latest trend and what's new in some of the boutiques inside the mall.





Different looks and with extra twists of the our daily clothing were showcased on the runway.  The ramp clothing were items from some of the boutiques that can be visit inside the mall.  Of course models give justification on this clothes as they walk the runway.  For sure people were already thinking of what to buy during that time.



It was a short but great time to think and let shoppers have an inspiration on what to grab for themselves.  Great show!

Since we're having different fun runs and they are already the in thing right now.  We might as well get our toes cover with something good and comfortable.  Gone are the days when running shoes are heavy but comfortable as Converse launches its new take on running shoes with the release of the Converse Auckland Racer Re-Mix.

A silhouette straight from the Converse extensive archive, the Auckland Racer gets refitted with new and updated materials and lighter outsole that brings both comfort and weightlessness together.

Backed with Converse quality and technology, the Auckland Racer Re-Mix is an all new running shoe is the brain child of Converse history and modern technology. Experience anew the Converse Auckland Racer Re-Mix at select Converse stores nationwide and selected official Converse retailers for the beloved classic Star Chevron logo.

New school year just started! It's pretty obvious that not everyone has done their shopping already, especially the bags. Since bags are needed in school and it is the number necessity of students, Converse got tips how to make your shopping trip easier.

Getting a new bag is not all about style. It’s also about functionality and durability. Are you the type to carry around your books by hand? Converse small bags are the perfect complement to carry around your other school necessities. Choose one with adjustable strap to customize to your desired length for comfort, and they add a touch of casual dressing to an otherwise usual school get-up.

More notes than books? These Converse messenger bags can fit your notebooks and your everyday essentials comfortably. An adjustable strap makes it easier to switch from the laid-back hip-level bag to the more feminine waist-height bag placement. The Converse carry bag is a new offering this season, and it’s a nice alternative to a messenger bag. Be it small or medium, the bright shade of California red is a fresh pop of color against your school uniform.

Books and other heavy school things? No worries as the Converse backpacks are ready to take on the weight. Padded shoulder straps provide much needed comfort and roomy interiors can fit most if not all your school needs. Have PE classes? Then switch to a duffel bag for its bigger interior, multi-pockets and have the option to switch between hand-carrying it around or slinging it over your shoulders.

Here are some of the samples of the bags.


Whatever your school needs might be, the Converse back-to-school line is the perfect complement. Durable and functional, colorful and stylish, start your school year right with Converse. Don’t forget to like Converse Philippines on Facebook and drop by www.converse.com.ph.

Dell unveiled today its ultra-portable XPS 13 laptop, the most compact 13.3-inch Ultrabook featuring an edge-to-edge glass, near “frameless” display, all-day battery life, and the latest innovative technology for a superb overall user experience.



Dubbed “The Best of Technology and Fashion,” designer Pablo Cabahug unveiled a trunk collection that echoed the almost monochromatic hues of the XPS 13 Ultrabook. The creations came in the same shades as the ultra-savvy gadget: the high-gloss elegance of silver; the sleekness of ebony; and the immaculate seduction of white. Cabahug wove unto his designs not just Dell’s delicious colors but also his own brand of fashion genius that even the most jaded spectators were amazed.
 

Dell XPS 13 delivers superb craftsmanship, durability and mobility.Its thoughtful design goes beyond beauty. With bonded Corning® Gorilla® glass, machined aluminum and carbon fiber, all these are incorporated to enhance the performance of theUltrabook™. Strikingly thin, with more room to view, the XPS 13 Ultrabook™ is a slim 6 mm (0.24”) at its thinnest point and only 18 mm (0.71”) at its thickest point; featuring a 13.3" HD display cleverly fit into a footprint that's similar to an 11" laptop.




It delivers powerful performance with 2nd Gen Intel® Core™ processors, giving Ultrabook™ the speed and performance you’ve come to expect from the XPS family.“The XPS 13 is the culmination of an extensive design and development process focused on creating the best Ultrabook on the planet,” enthused Christopher Papa, Country Manager of Dell Philippines. “It is specifically engineered to help both our consumer and commercial customers become more productive and connected in every way possible. From the edge-to-edge frameless display that packs more screen space into a compact body, to the innovative carbon fiber base that is lightweight and cool to the touch, the XPS 13 exemplifies our commitment to offering industry-leading mobile solutions that deliver durability and performance without compromise.”


Always up to date, its Intel® Smart Connect Technology keeps your email, contacts, calendar and social networks up to date, even when your XPS 13 Ultrabook™ is in sleep mode. “When Dell began the conversation of what an Ultrabook could be, we carefully considered how to provide customers not only incredible mobility, but also the kind of performance experience you would expect from something much larger,” added Christopher. “A ‘good-enough’ Ultrabook wasn’t good enough for us. We were committed to developing what an Ultrabook can and should be with the XPS 13 and providing a superior user experience.”

What’s more, the unit turns on instantly and boots in as little as 8 seconds; resuming from sleep mode in just 1 second (4 seconds from deep sleep). A solid-state drive and Intel® Rapid Start Technology makes this possible.“The XPS 13 represents the most balanced of the Ultrabook class of notebooks to hit the market so far”, said Alvin Go, product manager of Dell Philippines. “Ultrabooks started by forcing people to make a choice between beauty and practicality and Dell took the time to make sure their offering would not only be very attractive, but address the critical needs of business and education buyers as well. Perhaps the best way to describe the XPS 13 is ‘beautifully uncompromised’.”


The refined features truly feel as good as it looks, due to a comfort-designed keyboard and a sleek, gesture-enabled glass touchpad. Together with Dell, Cabahug proved that, indeed, fashion and technology are not far apart but closely interwoven. And in instances like this event, are linked like peas in a pod. Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) listens to customers and delivers innovative technology and services that give them the power to do more. For more information, visit www.dell.com.

Press Release

Local clothing brand BUM brings the Cosplay trend to the fore with a one-of-a-kind fashion show at the SM Mall of Asia.

If you have a story to tell, don’t keep it to yourself. Flaunt and let the world know through fashion.

This has been the youth’s battle-cry these days. Not only are they daring, wearing their colors on their sleeves proudly, they are pushing the envelope when it comes to dressing up, as well.

Even the term “costume play” or “cosplay”, which is the act of dressing up as a fictional character inspired from an anime TV series, or a character they idolized, has found its way into the youth’s wardrobe. Cosplay is no longer a style but it has become a “trend” that is normally seen and worn on the streets.


To underscore this “daring” and “experimental” style philosophy, BUM is putting together a fashion show on November 25 at the Music Hall of the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Called Reveal Your Darkside, this fashion celebration is the culminating event of an ongoing nationwide contest. Since August 8, BUM has been receiving through its website (http://www.bumequipment.com.ph) countless entries from young stylistas who want to share the world their passion for the brand and the cosplay trend.

Interestingly, the fashion show will also showcase BUM’s new collection for the Holidays. So cosplay and BUM fanatics can expect a one-of-a-kind fashion event that would inspire them to express their angst, passion, and identity more freely through BUM Collections. Mall goers will enjoy BUM’s treats as early as 1pm with live games on screen. Shoppers can play live video games at the Music Hall venue and win fabulous prizes courtesy of our sponsors Netopia Internet Café and Ideal Vision. Register as early as 1pm and get a chance to win prizes in our event raffle such as NOKIA C1 cellphones, five (5) pieces of P500 GLOBE prepaid loads and BUM gift packs. Raffle draw will be held at exactly 6:30pm. BUM products are available at BUM Boutiques and leading Department Stores nationwide.
