Qui Branly Paris

An amazing collection of primitive objects

from around the Planet in a visually stunning

Museum.

MilaneseGAL is in heaven!

a visit to Qui Branly has been on my

to-do-list

for a long long time.

A trip to Paris is always too short, no matter

how many days you spend there.

Finally this year it was my time to spare a day from the

delightful wondering around the streets of Paris

and pay a vist to one of the BEST Museums of the world.

The best part is that the Museum is very generous in letting

people i-phone their favorits objets.

Here are some of mine....

The river of words

an amazing installation by

Charles Sandison

16,597 names of the people and geographic

locations displayed in the Museum.



Right now

THE MAORI

a special collection.

I booked by tickets with Fnac.

So easy and it will give you direct access to the

Museum, NO QUEUE

you can pre-print your tickets at home.

You need at leat 4 hours to see it but it is worth it.

after have lunch or dinner at

PETITPALAIS

Philippe Escoffier Restaurant

A delightful Restaurant in Paris.

Formerly the Chèf for the American Embassy in Paris

he served several Ambassadors.

I had the fortune to taste his superb Agneau

a good reason to go back to Paris.

The micro restaurants only sets aprox 25 people,

a reservation in a must.

Tucked into a quite street close to rue de Grenelle

is a très bonne adresse.

To prepare your visit and your palate view the web site

18, rue de l'exposition

75007 Paris

Reservations 01 45 51 78 08

I have in order the book he co-made with

Mrs Dorothy Stapelton the wife of the

american Ambassador.

a must have!

Flammarion, "A la table de l'ambassadeur"



CHANEL at Bellagio Las Vegas

Re-Opening of the CHANEL Boutique at Bellagio

A great news for all the Chanel fanatics, this Boutique was a mecca.

Among all the Chanel Boutiques the Las Vegas has an amazing selection.

I always found great pieces often sold out in other locations.

The Wynn Store was taking over in the last years because of the size, now
even Bellagio has up dated its look.

Limited Edition Chanel Bag, exclusice for this Bellagio Boutique
price tag...4000USD... its a roll of dice, will its value increase?

Another Limited Edition Chanel bag, beautiful, timeless, pricy but worth it if you
are a collector.

Beautiful Diane Kruger at the opening of the Boutique.

Maison et Objet 2012

The best home show on the planet

Maison et Objet is a taste gymnasium.

Please exscuse the quality of my photos

the light inside the Pavillions is very low and

atmospheric, not the best for high res pictures.

Experience the general feeling of the ultimate

buongusto thanks to Mis en Demeur, Becara,

Labyrinth, Guadarte, and many more...

on a personal note

I was very pleased to come across

Aviva Stanoff from New York

a gem in the Show.

Her amazing textiles were  mesmerizing.

check her website

www.avivastranoff.com

for me Best in Show!



Laduree Poudre de Cacao

Best Buy: the Coco Powder

a must have for any good kitchen.

An amazing souvenir if you visit Paris.

Not to be missed!!

This is the second movie directed by our beloved Madonna.

It is the story of Wallie Simpson an American flamboiant

and HRH Edward Windsor.

You know Madonna, she commanded that the Jewelry was the orinials

go and see the movie.
