Pearl Dreams on a Wednesday Night

After blogging about pearls last week I found out that the new collection of Teya Jewelry was launching this week! So I had to share with you this new line of pearls that I can't wait to get my hands on... 

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Six Scents Series Three * * * * * *

I had to share these pics that Yann put up for Six Scents Series Three. If you don't know what this is all about, a perfumer and designer come together every year (third year, hence series 3!) and as an artistic team they create a unique fragrance experience. You may wanna call it perfume, but after you smell these, you'll realize that these are no commercial babies. This is so much better! Read about 'Ascent' and you'll understand what I'm talking about... 

The event is tonight and unfortunately I am missing it... I would much rather be sipping champagne and mingling with beautiful people instead of recovering from foot surgery... but I remember how great it was last year and I can't wait to smell all of the wonderful fragrances that this amazing team has created!

Yann (pic below) created No. 6 for Ohne Titel. 

Anyone see Tavi in the pic below? What a star!

Look at these drawings! Fab!

The other designer - perfumer pairings are:

N° 1 ‘Beau Bow’
Alexis Mabille & Rodrigo Flores-Roux

N° 2 ‘Trompe L’Oeil’

Happy Halloween!

It's raining in Buenos Aires... Why??!! It's supposed to be sunny and bright and close to 80!! Ok ok.. perhaps I'm exaggerating but this weather has made me wonder what I'm going to wear when I head back to NY in December. Transitioning from summer to winter WON'T be easy. Going back to work even less... But I am not complaining because I still have quite a few weeks to go and I know I'll have a blast when I head back to the city of lights and see my lovely friends again. Many adventures await!! And with these knits, furs, and what nots, I'll be more than ready to be a part of all of them!

Beauty and Desire Found

Although we work together, it was only during our July trip to Montauk that I got to know Melissa better. She is one of those people you rarely encounter in life, highly talented and also extremely humble. One wouldn't guess that she worked so many years in advertising... I had only seen M's drawings on her business card and I must admit that I've never seen a business card fly so quickly before! We were at a polo match and everyone was begging for the horses! A few weeks later, I politely (and forcefully...) invited myself to her studio. There, as I stood in awe, I discovered all about her painting process and her wildest dreams...

You see, Melissa's watercolors are large scale renditions of her dreams, revealing her deepest emotions and uncovering the most profound layers of the unconscious. Melissa's sensitivity and compassion are unparalleled. The result, a mix of mythology, marvel, and delight. Beauty and desired are truly found.

Nowadays, Melissa and I take trips to Italy almost every day. Our cappuccino fix is one of those moments that help us gather the inspiration we need to make it through the day and allow us to dream freely at night...

Inspiration à la Pipí Cucú

The setting is an old house with checkered floors and large windows that open to a patio.

 The chairs and place settings are all different, adding a unique aspect to Pipí Cucú.  

I love the art on the walls and the chandelier with colored ribbons. 

The presentation is very special. The detail on the plates will make you feel like you are at grandma's house. I missed the glasses but you can see them in the background. They're beautiful, made of crystal and of different colors and sizes. So gorgeous!

Pipí Cucú is colorful, festive, and original. 

Hanging over the bar is an upholstered canopy!

A big thank you to Madeleine who always has great recommendations in Bs. As.!
