Shake your booty

Everybody loves a little take-home. At kiddie parties, we love party favors and loot bags. At weddings and debuts, we get showered with gifts ranging from miniature cakes to more party favors. No one likes to leave empty-handed. Even pampered pooches receive doggy bags. And now goody bags have been taken to a new level with the appearance of posh hampers given out at the Oscars and other awards shows. Get this, the size and worth of an Oscar goody bag depends on whether you bring home the gold statue, are nominated, or are simply an attendee. These buckets of bling fetch up to thousands of dollars and contain extravagant delights from hotel gift certificates to electronics, from makeup to jewelry. Goody bag equals greedy bag.

Guests at Nami’s yearly event in Bora were feted with fabulous goody bags – everyone, whether birthday celebrant or not.

Upon arriving at the hotel, guests were given a welcome kit consisting of a sarong and Motorola pen encased in a silver waterproof bag, perfect for the beach. The ladies got additional items to jazz up their beach outfits such as funky cylindrical bracelets by Jeux Accessories create by Claire Betita-Samson and Michelle Bunag. Guests were also given massive survival kits during brunch. The items came in a Motorola gym bag complete with matching towels, notebooks and mugs.

There was a Shu Uemura case filled to the brim with beauty beach essentials: cleansing oil, foundation, high SPF, refreshers, softening toner and cooling gel cream.

Items from the Kerastase Soleil collection were also included in the goody bag, which aimed to protect the hair of guests from prolonged exposure to the sun. There were protective hairsprays, shampoos, and special masks that came in a waterproof toiletry bag. Each bag came with a Ralph Lauren perfume bottle: Polo Blue cologne for men, and Ralph Cool eau de toilette for women.

Tucked inside were Havaianas slipper bags and notepads to keep everyone’s designer Brazilian flip-flops in tow. There were deluxe hardcover planners courtesy of Smart Infinity and Nami.

Each guest also found a personalized stuffed animal based on their personality waiting for them on their bed next to Ferrero Rocher chocolates, to add a warm touch. Expandable Motorola bags came with the toys.

Beach Life And Loungerie

With summer at full steam, you can keep your clothes to a bare minimum, as well as keep your accessories in tow (in addition to their fashionable mobile phones). All you need to make your mark in the sand and look your hottest are tanning oil, sunglasses, an iPod, and sporty swimsuits. Keep in mind when wearing a swimsuit (the only real piece of clothing you’ll be sporting on the beach): don’t veer towards the basic or ordinary. Go toward fabulousness while cavorting in the summer sun. Keep it glam. Aim only for the very best for your bod.

Celine Lopez’s Loungerie Lux is a beachwear resort line geared for alluring babes who never let anyone see them sweat. High-fashion gowns and dresses fresh off the runways abroad inspired Celine’s daring creations, which are perfect for frolicking on the beach, or for sipping cocktails by the pool.

Subtly sexy and screaming luxury, these swimsuits are versatile enough to swim or dance in. Just by donning these delightful swimsuits, you’re immediately transported to the haughty French Rivera or Rio’s balmy shores. Add a sheer cover-up or mini-skirt and you’re good for a night-out with everyone’s eyes fixed on you.

Whether you choose a maillot or a bikini, there’s a style to fit all body types. They flatter any figure and are constructed in such a way they conceal your most unforgiving parts while still lending that foxy factor. Whether lean or voluptuous, Celine takes body shapes and types into careful consideration while designing the line, choosing to reveal assets that should be paraded around. Made of shimmering or matte fabrics (and embellished with beads, stones and pearls), these fine pieces of couture make any lass look really dazzling. The verdict: affordable glamour is within reach with Loungerie Lux.

As the guests in Nami donned swimsuits, they received the mother of all goody bags: Motorola gave swanky new mobile phones personally engraved with the guest’s name.

And that was very Oscar-worthy.
