I remember my friend Lelet and I having this discussion one day at work, a little over five years ago, about who she should wear on her wedding day.
Lelet: On my wedding, I`m going to wear a Vera Wang!
Me: Wow, a Vera Wang! You must save up na, because an off-the-rack gown costs months worth of your salary and a custom-made one is about the same price as your new car…
Lelet: Which why we`re having the reception at Mc Donald`s. A Happy Meal for each happy attendee…
If you:
a. Have seen the gowns of Vera Wang
b. Felt the texture of the gowns of Vera Wang
c. Know Lelet
You will know that last statement she made is NOT a joke.
Personally, I can`t decide between Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier, er,as well as Reem Acra and Amsale, each of whom I believe have their own unique design sense. But in terms of business ventures within the same industry, my vote goes to Vera Wang hands down.
Apart from her main business designing beautiful gowns…

she also has this….
…and this…
…and this!
She also has a flower line under her name by the way
Locally, we also have someone whose name is in quite a few things/products we see around.
Can you guess who? And for what product lines?
The first one to guess it correctly via commenting in gets an SM GC worth Php 500.00 which can be used in the ff outlets: SM Dept. Store, SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket, SaveMore, SM Appliance, Ace Hardware, Baby & Co. , Our Home, Kultura, SM Cinema, SM Bowling, Surplus Shop, Toy Kingdom, Watson`s, etc.
Ok, let`s make it the first three (3) to comment in the correct name/product lines will each win a Php 500.00 SM GC from us, =)
The name/brand is the most important, the product lines don`t have to be complete, WE just want to see how many has his/her name on it.
Contest starts now and ends on Friday, February 19, at 11:59pm
Good luck and start commenting-in your answers!
Winners will be announced here and prizes will be sent via LBC middle of next week
