    Define your style with the trendy Vivo S1 Pro

    Gone are the days when styles were black and white—when choosing a style equated to a long-term commitment to live and breathe that chosen lifestyle. Today, finding one’s style is a constant flux. Monday could be business-fashionday, Tuesday can be chill-joggers-shirt day, while Wednesday could be a throwback-90s-style day. However you decide to go about with your style, you need a phone that can match any get-up in your state of “style exploration”.

    With its sleek and unique design, the Vivo S1 Pro is the perfect phone for you to define your style. Its bold and lavish Knight Black and Fancy White colorways matches any “OOTD” you wear wherever you choose to wear it.

    As smooth as your “getup”, ease-of-access has never been easier with the S1 Pro’s 8GB RAM and in-display fingerprint scanner. The phone, conceived by leading global technology company Vivo, also showcases a 6.38-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display perfect for viewing photos or watching your favorite flick.

    Finally, to help capture memories and aid you in cementing your style, the S1 Pro boasts of state-of-the-art front and back cameras. Its unparalleled front-cam enclosed in a water-drop style notch captures ultra-clear photos with its 32 mega-pixel camera. On the other side, the very stylish and one-of-a-kind diamond-shaped rear camera of the Vivo S1 Pro consists of a 48MP main, 8MP secondary, 2MPwide-angle, and 2MP macro camera—a camera quartet unmatched in the mobile phone market.

    Retailing for P15,999, the smartphone can be pre-ordered online and in-store from November 21 to 29. It will be available at all authorized Vivo outlets nationwide starting November 30.

  • Vivo launches fashionable S1 Pro that suits every style

    Vivo launches fashionable S1 Pro that suits every style

    “Preppy”, “Hipster”, “Gamer”, “Laid Back”—today’s generation have continuously been embracing a plethora of styles. People from all ages and different walks of life can frequently be seen breaking barriers and deviating tradition to express themselves in their own unique ways.

    Catering to this inception of numerous styles fashioned by different people under the same atmosphere, Vivo, the leading global technology company, recently launched the stylish S1 Pro at the Conrad Hotel, Manila.

    The event, graced by Vivo Philippines executives, product distributors, and media partners, featured a lavish and colourful venue with two interactive zones that called for guests to explore their style.

    “The Styling Suite”, a fancy-looking open-air dressing room with several hair and make-up artists, allowed guests to get the best look and end up with a stunning makeover. To complete the look, there was also a “Styling booth” where guests tried out different outfits from Forever 21.

    Of course, the main highlight of the night was the unveiling of the newest line in the Vivo S series. Through product talks and TVC premieres, guests learned that the Vivo S1 Pro was truly a phone fit for any and every style the user chooses to explore.

    Its unparalleled 32MP front camera is perfect for selfie-lovers. For those more comfortable with shots taken with the rear camera, the Vivo S1 Pro sports a magnificent diamond-shaped rear quad camera set-up consisting of a 48MP main, 8MP secondary, 2MPwide-angle, and 2MP macro camera that perfectly capture “OOTD” shots.

    For gamers, the S1 Pro also boasts of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor and 8GBRAM/128ROM—a medley of specs synonymous to average game-ready laptops. The phone also has a gaming mode where users will be stripped off of notifications which may hinder the full-on phone-gaming experience. Meanwhile, for minimalists who simply use the phone for communicating, watching, and browsing, the S1 Pro’s 6.38-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display, along with the same RAM/ROM specs, brings smooth and seamless use for a hassle-free experience.

    Part of the launch was a fashion show which proved that the phone’s sleek, but unique design, whether in Knight Black and Fancy Sky colorways, is perfect for every style and every occasion. Models in different collections from Forever 21 paraded a beautiful runway, each flaunting the newest Vivo S1 Pro—cementing the fact, that the S1 Pro is the ultimate phone which encourages users to “explore your style”. Retailing for P15,999, the smartphone can be pre-ordered online and in-store from November 21 to 29. It will be available at all authorized Vivo outlets nationwide starting November 30.

    For Pinoys, nothing brings a more joyful dining experience much like Jollibee. From the feeling of being home, to the familiar taste of our classic langhap-sarap favorites, it’s no doubt that every visit is as jolly and memorable as it can be.

    Katipunan gets a funkier touch with Jollibee’s first-ever Level Up Joy Store.

    The Jollibee Level Up Joy Store is a themed space that brims of art, good food, and joyful experiences, perfect for hanging out with the barkada and the family.

    Inside, the young and the young-at-hearts are certainly up for a visual thrill as vibrant and artistic murals welcome them as they enter Jollibee’s Level Up Joy Store. It also houses geometric floor tiles and mirrorlike lighting, as well as contemporary seating and industrial fixtures. Surely, every angle would be a perfect spot to snap an Instagram photo or two!

    On the second floor, the new home of Jollibee in Katipunan brims with two functionally-themed party rooms. The walls feature eclectic artworks of Jollibee and Friends, giving every birthday celebrant an elevated Jollibee Kids Party experience.

    Jollibee Kids Party celebrations are about to get more joyful as colorful murals paint the walls of the Jollibee Level Up Joy Store.

Three digital self-service kiosks stand in front of the Jollibee Level Up Joy Store counter, where guests can find a quick and efficient way to place their food orders without having to go through long queues. These kiosks also allow cashless transactions, so one can conveniently secure their payments with just a tap of their debit or credit cards.

  • “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    “Intensify your office #OOTD with these edgy styling staples”

    There will come a point in one’s lives that their wardrobe will be dominated by corporate clothes, seeing that 80% of their days are spent in the office. But this doesn’t mean one has to get stuck with uptight outfits that do not exude style.

    Here are wardrobe staples that will keep you looking professional and confident without sacrificing style.

    The Classics

    Nothing says classy more than the classics. Make sure to have on hand a pair of pumps in black and nude, as these can match any attire and give off a sleek look. Likewise, it’s a must to have a well-fitting little black dress that can easily go from day to night.

    A professional tote

    A tote bag that’s big and durable enough to fit all the work files and possibly even double as a laptop bag is another OOTD staple. It’s ideal to get this all-time favorite work bag in black to suit any occasion and outfit.

    Smartphone with deluxe design

    An item that goes hand in hand with one’s nine-to-five is a smartphone. Leave complicated color schemes behind and stick to those in neutral colors. Embrace simplicity with Vivo V17Pro’s models in Knight Black and Crystal White, this Vivo phone sits upon translucent glass and automatically gives off distinctive taste and style. After all, it’s always a good idea to pair excellent function with polished form.

    Lightweight blazer

    This is the easiest trick in the book if one wants to pull together a professional outfit fast. Secure a piece that’s dressy and corporate at the same time.

    These are the staples that one must have in their wardrobe whatever industry they’re in. Stay fashionable and be confident in professional looks that are simple but stands out.
