Lacoste 12.12 Media Launch There is nothing more precious than giving someone the gift of time – I mean it figuratively but giving a classic watch won’t hurt too. A timely launch was held on December 12 as Lacoste’s sporting spirit is reignited in the Lacoste.12.12 watch collection. It was held by country distributor Artful Marketing, Inc. (a subsidiary of the Lucerne Group) and global licensee Movado Group, Inc. You’ll love it! Lacoste 12.12 Watch Collection Simple, wearable and elegant are the top 3 words to be describe this collection. Six confident colors make up the Lacoste.12.12 watch design palette: grey, red, blue, white, green and black. I love how the design looks so laidback and not screaming out for too much branding. It’s a masculine and powerful timepiece yet understated and relaxed. Whatever color you choose, it’ll be suitable for work and play. Tennis Wii tournament at the Lacoste 12.12 Launch I honestly didn’t plan the outfit but it was the perfect match for the Tennis Wii tournament during the launch! Super fun! Lots came in their classic cotton petit pique poloshirt that tennis legend René Lacoste designed in 1927. “Much like the classic polo shirt it is named after, the…

Every second counts How important is a day to you? An hour? A minute? I value my time completely and I make sure I make the most out of everything – down to the very last second. It’s true what they say: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” – success is all about proper planning and time management. Veloci What better way to be on the dot than to have a dependable time piece? Veloci, an Italian-inspired watch brand built on making each minute count, challenges you to transcend to boundaries of time with cutting-edge watches. Yuki Tansengco I understand people who invest in classic time pieces (and the prices are crazy!) but for my lifestyle, I prefer something hip and affordable. I prefer a watch that can keep up with my activities, who can take a few hits and bumps long the way. That’s what I found in Veloci watches. Striped top from Lady Joanna I like simple things with no fuss – always aiming to be comfortable. For my laid back outfit, I love this pullover from Lady Joanna. It has a light silky feeling – not warm at all! Aside from clothes, she has…
