Wanderlusts of all ages were treated to a selection of buzz
worthy brands in the newest lifestyle center in the South, Commercenter. Fashionistas,
foodies and home decorating aficionados flocked to the mall on April 25 &
26, 2015 and were pleasantly surprised to discover new and unique products and
delicious treats.
Having organized three trunk shows/bazaars previously, Chief
Curators Theresa Leung and Claudine de Leon wanted to try something different -
A free spirited event, which they haven’t done before.
If you were not able to make it, here are some of the things
you missed:
1. With all the
bazaars happening this summer, set-up is essential to differentiate the event
and to entice people to come. Curious souls at heart, the Advertising Rockstars
took it upon themselves to create the perfect set-up for a bohemian-themed affair.
|
Placed at the middle of the mall, guests and shoppers
couldn’t help but pass by the vibrant, teepee style photo booth to take a
selfie or a family photo!
|
|
The small things matter too! And it definitely
worked as the team put in Boho elements such as sunflowers. bright-colored
lanterns and a vintage bike. |

2. Shoppers were spoiled with FREE jewelry tattoo plus Boho-chic bracelets and headbands. They loved
this activity and learned the proper way to tie their DIY bracelets too.

Customized bracelets and headbands, hippie style! |
3. While some were busy shopping, others instantly
gravitated towards the bar. The Boho Bar
made its debut with models offering #LibationsForTheWanderlusts such as
sangria, gin & tonic, craft beers and its signature drink --- Wanderita,
the boho version of Margarita!

4. Caffeine never tasted this good! Habitual Coffee served their beverage using the art of Aeropress
--- a coffee & espresso maker that shortens brewing time to 30 seconds
while reducing the coffee’s bitter taste. Depending on its maker, the right water
temperature and pressure can make a big difference.

5. Bow House
received quite the attention from dog lovers’ Xandra Rocha and Tweetie de Leon.
They couldn’t resist the modern barkiteture – muttresses, bowskets and dome
beds! Not only are they for man’s best friend, they are also for man, as some
shoppers went home with one for themselves.

5. Real men can bake! The PHAT Boys Janjay Coquilla, Lamont Waters and Anton del Rosario sure
can! Their delicious handcrafted ice cream sandwiches were a big hit! They sure
know how to charm the ladies! Right Slick Rick?
