From classic heritage sneakers that bring nostalgia for me and excitement for my son and the new generation of fashion lovers to beauty treats, here’s a round-up of what’s worth checking out this week.
Step into modern heritage
Lately, I’ve noticed many friends sporting the Puma Speedcat in various colorways. Even my 15-year-old son, who’s into motorsports, asked if he could have a pair too! This heritage design draws inspiration from the fireproof racing footwear worn by Grand Prix drivers in the ’80s and ’90s. I first encountered this style when it was launched in 1999, and I couldn’t be more excited to wear them again—this time twinning with my son. He’s going for black, while I’ve opted for red. Recently released colors include light blue/navy and haute coffee/frosted.
Last call for SM Sunglass Festival
SM Makati’s SM Sunglass Festival is ending on Oct. 31, so drop by to check out the fall-winter ‘24 collections of Ray-Ban, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Porsche Design, Prada, Saint Laurent, and Guess. Enjoy interactive activities like Magic Mirror, Claw Machine, PhotoAutomat, and TikTok Corner. Every purchase also gives you a chance to win a trip to Boracay. Here are some of my top picks!
Four years of beauty
Look At Me is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month by treating members and customers to futuristic-themed activities, including workshops on the latest trends and techniques. The month-long celebration culminated in two exciting parties at their branches—one at SM Mall of Asia on Oct. 17 and the other at SM Aura Premier on Oct. 22. New Look At Me members can enjoy up to P500 in shopping vouchers upon signing up.
Feel great—inside and out
It’s not just our faces that need care, but our bodies as well. That’s why Le Meur Aesthetics launched two new treatments: Onda Plus for fat reduction and body contouring, and IntraGen for skin tightening and lifting. They also introduced their new ambassadors Andi Manzano, Mikael Daez, and Megan Young. Megan shared her perspective on beauty: “When you commit to that journey, something shifts. The confidence that comes from showing up for yourself grows, unlocking new layers of who you are, and that’s where real change happens.”
