A whole lot of lovin'

MANILA, Philippines - Love letters, dozens of flowers and boxes of chocolates all surprise lovers across the world. Rustan’s celebrates the season of love with everyone as they show their love and make new memories.

With the announcement of their engagement, Marco Rodriguez and Rosanna Ocampo are looking forward to their wedding day in three weeks. “No matter what we do, Valentine’s Day will always be special as long as Rosanna and I spend it together,” shares Marco.

Of course, the gift giving part is also exciting. “I remember when Marco gave me a diamond pendant,” says Rosanna. “So, this year, I gave him a pair of Sergio Rossi shoes that he will be wearing on our wedding day.”

This time, the couple wants to celebrate it differently, steering clear of busy establishments. Marco will be cooking dinner for Rosanna.

 “I’m waiting for his surprise!” says Beng Dee of her husband Rikki Dee. The couple always looks at Valentine’s Day as that one day of the year when they can relax and spend more quality time together. Their love for travel also has them spending it vacationing abroad.

Love — and wedding bells — are in the air: Engaged couple Marco Rodriguez and Rosanna Ocampo will have a quiet and intimate Valentine dinner — with Marco cooking. Rosanna is wearing printed dress from Nicole Miller paired with Carla Amorim thousand leaves earrings and Gavello ring with pave diamond. Marco is wearing long-sleeved shirt from Facconable and pants, tie and blazer from Hackett.

 “We randomly give gifts to each other even without any significant occasion. But I would say that the greatest gift for us is that in our 28 years of marriage we have never failed to celebrate it together, just like our first Valentine’s Day,” says Beng.

This year, they are looking forward to a quiet and romantic dinner.

Making each celebration extra special are the various fashionable finds from Rustan’s that can have any man or woman making an impression on date night.

Women wear sophistication effortlessly with dresses from Tadashi Shoji, Nicole Miller, Halston Heritage, A.B.S and Baby Phat. Men on the other hand always prefer the clean and sleek looks from Oleg Cassini, Black Label Homme, Facconable and Hackett.

The finest jewelry designs also create a statement with creations from Roberto Coin, Yvel, Carla Amorim, Noah Barcelona and Gavello.
