BVLGARI, GUCCI, TOSCA my favorite ITALIANS

A week full of great Events- great Outfits- great Food 

that I will share with you as much as i can:

I have lived in so many different parts of the world...experienced different cultures...There is one thing or most cases more than one thing that i like about all cities...all places...

Thats why i always say that: living in one place full time is not for me...i have to be able to travel and experience things...experience new lifestyles...go into different zones and vibes and than come back home...

Home in this case is: LA!

LA is very different i would say...Looks different than it really is on the inside...

It can make someone really happy or really miserable...

its almost like there is no in between...well i can go on and on with my deep philosophy but to get back to the point without boring you is: LA in one eventful and colorful place!

so to begin with: The amazing Puccini's Tosca event ( this was actually in OC little outside of LA)
well, TOSCA is this amazing italian Opera, and for the opening night of it:
BVLGARI had this very exquisite event at their store.
Fallowed with an amazing dinner party with a lot of people from the BVLGARI company in ROMA

I have been to Roma and what a city, right!
OMG amazing!  back than, i was writing this monthly column for MAG magazine (www.magdergi.com) and i did a 3 month series about Roma about my trip and named it

so anyways...It was nice to chat with those ladies from Roma, during dinner.

for those of you who love the opera like me,

heres a little info about TOSCA

 a must see!

Tosca (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtɔska]) is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. The work, based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, La Tosca, is a melodramatic piece set in Rome in June 1800, with theKingdom of Naples's control of Rome threatened by Napoleon's invasion of Italy. It contains depictions of torture, murder and suicide, yet also includes some of Puccini's best-known lyrical arias, and has inspired memorable performances from many of opera's leading singers.

Puccini saw Sardou's play when it was touring Italy in 1889 and, after some vacillation, obtained the rights to turn the work into an opera in 1895. Turning the wordy French play into a succinct Italian opera took four years, during which the composer repeatedly argued with his librettists and publisher. Tosca premiered at a time of unrest in Rome, and its first performance was delayed for a day for fear of disturbances. Despite indifferent reviews from the critics, the opera was an immediate success with the public.

Musically, Tosca is structured as a through-composed work, with arias, recitative, choruses and other elements musically woven into a seamless whole. Puccini used Wagnerianleitmotifs (short musical statements) to identify characters, objects and ideas. While critics have frequently dismissed the opera as a facile melodrama with confusions of plot—musicologist Joseph Kerman famously called it a "shabby little shocker"—the power of its score and the inventiveness of its orchestration have been widely acknowledged. The dramatic force of Tosca and its characters continues to fascinate both performers and audiences, and the work remains one of the most frequently performed operas. Many recordings of the work have been issued, both of studio and live performances.

it was an amazing experience for me!

i shouldn't even be talking about this but after the concert

a very important topic:

stationary

in other words, your writing tools

This is very important for your image...both ladies and men...

Because of the technology and all of the gadgets that we use for the last decade- hand writing and note papers and pens...etc..etc...lost their importance...

Well its ok to be very technological BUT lets not forget the importance the class and the elegance of owning and using nice stationary

heres mine:

 MONT BLANC Fountain Cartridge Pen

my cartridge color choice is Black

 i carry my pen inside this leather case, in my purse...

not everywhere i go...but mostly whenever i have my LV calendar with me

i have this LV calendar for 3 years-cant live without!

my pen is so classy!

 my initials are engraved on the pen

 and my note papers...

I like to take the time and hand write Thank YOU notes or invitations

well, of course if i need more than 5 invitations than i get it printed but lets say that you are inviting your girl friends over for tea party- than i would write hand written invitations to them

so classy!

Cartier stationary is really good!
