The seven steps to looking geek-chic
Quick, stylish and affordable, Sunnies Specs is a game-changer in premium optical eyewear, making the whole experience of getting glasses simpler and more enjoyable.
Sunnies Studios received numerous requests from their customers to create prescription eyewear – and they made it happen through Sunnies Specs. Sunnies Specs offers high quality and stylish frames. You can get any Sunnies Specs frame, an optometrist conducted eye-exam and single vision lens for only P1,999. Here’s a quick how-to guide:
Step 1: Go to your nearest Sunnies Specs optical shop
In Cebu, Sunnies Specs is located at the Upper Ground Floor, Northwing, SM City Cebu. Kicking off their nationwide expansion, it is their first store outside the capital and fifth in the country.
Step 2: Pick your frame
Customers can choose any frame from over a hundred styles that suit any face shape, personality and lifestyle, with more to come this month. All carry the trademark Sunnies brand and aesthetic. Frames are crafted from high quality materials such as acetate, flexilight and metal and are lightweight, durable and comfortable for everyday wear.
FINDING THE RIGHT PAIR
With over 100 different pairs to choose from, sometimes picking a frame that’s perfect for your look alone takes 30 minutes—or more. That’s why the team got together to try on various styles and curate a selection for every face shape.
ROUND
Make your face appear longer with rectangular or square frames. Look out for bold, angular frames, and make sure they sit just above your cheekbones.
MUST TRY: The Venice
ALSO TRY: Ollie, Dillon, Harper, Irving, Kip, Mick, Reid, Spencer, Wes, August, Clarke, Crispin, Finn, Flynn, Gellar, Hans, Newton and Pascal
OBLONG
Your slim face shape looks great with wider and taller frames. Opt for styles with a low nose bridge to complement your features.
MUST TRY: The Irving
ALSO TRY: Ollie, Mick, Reid, Spencer, Clarke, Crispin, Flynn, Gellar and Pascal
OVAL
Oval face shapes can get away with almost any style, so play around with bolder colors in different silhouettes.
MUST TRY: The Crispin
ALSO TRY: Irving in Marine, Morgan in Maraschino, Gellar in Rhodonite, Kennedy in Caspian Sea and Venice in Gummy Bear
SQUARE
Add some curves to your rims to soften your sharp features. Thinner frames that are slightly wider than your cheekbones work best for your face shape.
MUST TRY: The Cam
ALSO TRY: Morgan, Wes, Dana, Inga, Kennedy, Margot and Walt
HEART
Complement a slender jawline with a pair that is slightly wider than your forehead with detailing on the lower portion.
MUST TRY: The Dana
ALSO TRY: Dillon, Harper, Kip, Morgan, Gellar, Inga, Kennedy, Margot, Venice and Walt
Step 3: Fill out information sheet
Leave your name and contact details at the station so they can inform you when your pair is ready.
Step 4: Have your eyes checked by trained optometrists
You can get a quick eye exam with Sunnies Specs’ trained optometrists and state-of-the art technology. A few reminders to get the best results: Before undergoing an eye exam, make sure to remove soft contact lenses at least 30 minutes beforehand and hard contact lenses 24 hours beforehand. Also remember to have enough rest as tired eyes may affect results.
Step 5: Upgrade your lenses
All Specs lenses are multi-coated on all pairs and equipped with UV protection, anti-reflection and anti- glare plus are scratch resistant and have water resistant coating. But that’s not all. Sunnies Specs offers you four lens upgrades depending on your lifestyle: Blue Light lenses for those who are exposed to screens all day, High-Index lenses for those who prefer thinner lenses, Photochromic lenses for those would prefer specs that transition into sunnies outdoors and Polycarbonate lenses for those who have an active lifestyle and need more durable lenses. Progressive vision lenses are also available for extra.
Step 6: Check out at the cashier
You can get an optometrist-conducted eye-exam, single vision stock prescription lenses, and a fashionable quality frame for only P1,999.
Step 7: Pick up your new specs
Once you receive a message, you can pick up your new Sunnies Specs all on the same day. It’s that simple and quick.

The First NUSTAR BALL
The NUSTAR Ballroom, a magnificent venue at the NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu, sets the stage for last night’s first-ever NUSTAR Ball.
Glamorous guests from Manila and Cebu converged at the NUSTAR Ballroom, an exquisite venue within the NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu. The evening unfolded with a seated 5-course dinner. The opulent feast started with Beetroot Salmon Gravlax, adorned with caper berries, caviar, set with delicate edible flowers; and a main course of Compressed Pork Belly with Crackling Skin and Baby Scallops. Another highlight was the auction of coveted items like Dior and YSL handbags, a limited-edition Bulgari watch, and an exclusive 2-night stay in Nustar’s opulent 3-bedroom villa—complete with a private pool and a dedicated butler. The charity evening benefited the Cameleon Association, an NGO based in Iloilo City created in 1997 that developed a global approach to act on the causes and effects of sexual violence against children.
It was a night of elegance, luxury, and unforgettable memories as ladies in long gowns and gentlemen in black ties danced the night away.

The Qipao As Interpreted by Innovative Filipino Designers: PHILIP RODRIGUEZ
The Qipao, an iconic symbol of Chinese fashion, takes center stage as we celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon. This singular closely-fitted garment crafted from the most opulent silks originated in 1920’s Shanghai. ZEE fashion editor Oj Hofer, has sought the creative insights of some of the Philippines’ most innovative designers for their interpretation of the elegant Qipao, also known as Cheongsam.
Cebu’s esteemed designer, Philip Rodriguez, pays homage to imperial attire with this stunning yellow silk brocade qipao. While adhering to the traditional cheongsam silhouette, Rodriguez infuses a touch of sensuality by incorporating see-through silk tulle panels along the waistline. Known for his timeless designs and culturally respectful creations, Rodriguez’s attention to detail is unparalleled. His embellishments are intricate and exquisite, showcasing impeccable taste and luxurious design without veering into ostentation. Take, for instance, his cheongsam for the Year of the Dragon. While it may seem daring compared to traditional sensibilities, Rodriguez maintains elegance by delicately veiling the wearer’s skin with sheer tulle on the cutout side panels. The front slit of the dress is cautiously calculated to strike the perfect balance between modesty and allure “I design for women who possess sophistication beyond their years, “ Philip emphasizes. “My clothes are crafted to evoke a sense of beauty and allure, leaving her feeling exquisite and confident.” As a seasoned designer, Rodriguez consistently achieves harmony in his designs. His qipao for 2024 seamlessly blends elements of royalty and sensuality, luxury and practicality, reflecting his mastery of the craft and his ability to create pieces that are truly elegant and well-balance.
