When your outfit inadvertently matches the art exhibit! #ChihulyNYBG + winner of our @NYBG #CHIHULYNIGHTS Giveaway Announced!

Remember when I told you I took WAY too many pictures at the Media Day of the Preview of the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at Botanical Garden?

Did I also mention I sort of inadvertently matched one of the installations in the exhibit?

OK so THIS happened:

Above: I didn't get the memo, but I did sort of match the Dale Chihuly Niijima Floats Installation

Above: Sunglasses: Foster & Grant, Jacket: Wilson's Leather, Blouse: Calvin Jeans, Jeans: Silver Jeans, Earrings: Let's just say they are 'Vintage' :-)

Above: Niijima Floats, spheres of intricate color inspired by Japanese glass fishing floats from the island of Niijima

Above: Niijima Floats, six-foot spheres of intricate color inspired by Japanese glass fishing floats from the island of Niijima

Above: I love that this boat just literally free floats, so the spheres catch different light and cast different shadows depending upon where the boat is when you photograph it. The day I was there it was super overcast, thankfully it didn't rain!

Above: These Butterfly picks were in the Gift Shop, and again they are kind of matching my outfit!

Above: OK so I may have been a bit 'Orange' obsessed that day!

{Mothers Day #Giveaway} Win a pair of passes to #CHIHULYNIGHTS from @Ascending1 & @NYBG #ChihulyNYBG

Coming up empty on Mother's Day Gift Ideas this year?

Tired of the same old same old?

How about an experience instead?

I recently attended the media preview day of  the latest Exhibition at The New York Botanical Garden for Dale Chihuly which will run through late October (10/29 to be precise).

As usual, I have taken more photos than I can possibly fit into one post so I will create a Pinterest Board that will be a work in progress of the exhibition. (When the board is completed the words "Pinterest Board" will become clickable).

Do you think Mom would like an experience that combines nature, art, and music in a very special setting?

I come with a Special Giveaway!

The 'evening version' of this exhibition called 'CHIHULY Nights' where the exhibition will be infused with an almost magical energy as the artworks created by Dale Chihuly will be illuminated which will heighten the drama and luminous quality of Dale Chihuly's colors and forms when lit under the evening sky is all yours, read through for your chance to win a pair of tickets to CHIHULY Nights at New York Botanical Garden.

In the Visitor Center plaza there will be a rotating lineup of performing artists and musicians, and Avion Tequila cocktails will also be available for purchase.

Media Day Intro:

Above: “The New York Botanical Garden is the perfect setting for Dale Chihuly’s art,” said Gregory Long, Chief Executive Officer and The William C. Steere Sr. President of NYBG. “Our historic landscape is an open-air museum, providing a thrilling opportunity for our visitors to see the spectacular installations, especially when they will be lit at night. The exhibition will be a more holistic look at the legacy of Chihuly the artist. We are extremely grateful to our sponsors and everyone whose support is making it possible for us to bring this experience to our existing and new audiences.”

Above: The artist had a show at the New York Botanical Garden in 2006, but the NYBG says the new exhibit is much larger and much more fully-realized. Gregory Long (pictured above), the NYBG’s president, referenced the 2006 show as “only a taste of the real thing… this one is bigger and better.” CHIHULY incorporates a broader and more diverse terrain across the garden, from inside the Enid Haupt Conservatory to the Metz Library and all around the wooded grounds.

There are more than 20 installations of Chihuly’s beautiful glass works all in all. His staff and the NYBG worked together for two years as they prepared for the opening and installation of the works took three weeks, with many large trucks from Seattle delivering the glass pieces.

MY TAKE:

My recap coverage is so extensive I will have to split into a few pieces so you can get a sense for how much of the grounds the exhibition really covers! I can't wait to experience the installations by night as well so I can see the pieces lit up against the night sky. So keep checking back for our Wordless Wednesdays - they won't be wordless because obviously - I am never wordless - but they will be photo heavy!

I love this exhibit and can't wait to check it out at night!

Where #Art #Photography #Foodie Fun and #Fragrance Collided, a #SCENTsational #SniffaVoluptuary @maisonten

Sniffapalooza Presents Voluptuary: An Afternoon of Sensual Pairings at MAISON 10 in New York City

I had to immediately open the email, based on the name of the event alone. When you receive an event invite with this title, the curiosity factor alone makes you open the email and entices you to RSVP for it.

Sniffapalooza celebrates perfumery as an art, and they love to create unique experiential events where the olfactive universe is explored with kindred spirits, combining fragrance with other sensorial pursuits. This event was an interactive multi-sensory journey, an evening of sensual delights... fragrant, culinary, artistic and cinematic pairings... created for the voluptuary in us all!

THE SPACE:

The event was a "meeting of sensory minds" held at MAISON 10, NYC's stunning new concept store and gallery space in the heart of Manhattan's exciting NoMad district and was the brainchild of Stephen Dirkes, a Perfumer, filmmaker, multi-media artist, founder of  EUPHORIUM BROOKLYN an innovative niche perfume brand. To celebrate Euphorium's latest fragrance creation, the Voluptuary Trio Set, Dirkes collaborated with Chef Tessa Liebman and Photographer Tal Shpantzer to reinterpret and pair the fragrances in edible and visual format. And quite frankly I have never attended a Fragrance Event that interpreted Scent in quite this way before.

THE SCENT:

The Voluptuary fragrances -  Suédois, Pétales and Chocolatl - were designed with a focus on sensual, decadent and romantic aspects. The intricately layered relationship of fragrance, flavor and imagery in the stories behind the collection came together to find perfect expression in this event.

THE VISUALS: PHOTOGRAPH SERIES

The fragrance Pétales was inspired by Tal Shpantzer's series of photographic portraits, The Petal Series, which Stephen Dirkes brings to life as a perfume. The Petal Series was on view at the event. The photo above is one of the photographs in the series - and that oversized Gorilla Statue is certainly a unique backdrop!

THE EATS: INTERPRETING FRAGRANCE THROUGH FOOD

Chef Tessa and CHOCOLATL

For Chef Tessa's interpretation of CHOCOLATL  she conjured up a Mexican chocolate meringue base with red wine and Piloncillo stewed prunes with a creme fraiche. It was a rich and decadent treat that totally nailed an edible interpretation of the fragrance!

Chef Tessa's challenge was to create an edible that mirrored the notes of Petales, orange blossom, black pepper, honey, ambergris, indole, and galbanum and her creation, the elegant Pavlova pastry was her edible answer!  I loved catching Photographer Tal Shpantzer taking a selfie with Chef Tessa!

The pastry combines grapefruit curd and orange flower water which Chef Tessa dusted with rose petal powder and mixed with rose pink edible glitter to give the effect of petals shimmering in the moonlight which is part of the story of the fragrance.

Close Up of Petales Pavlova Pastry

I wasn't fast enough to nab a shot of the edible interpretation of SUEDOIS (suede) which is a soft leather scent that is part of the trio. The fragrance has notes of  Indonesian sandalwood (you guys know just how much I am drawn to Sandalwood!), raspberry, raisin, labdanum, vanilla cream, and tonka musk which paired perfectly with Chef Tessa’s Suedois Cream Puffs with a Ylang Ylang Profiterole Shell and Tonka Bean and Sandalwood Bavarian Cream, and Raspberries. I love the smell of Leather and Suede so this scent was definitely an appealing one for me.



Stephen introduced a special sneak peek screening of Voluptuary #535, the short film he created in collaboration with Tal which will be premiered at La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival 2017.

Another Spotlight Scent:

Be Careful What You Wish For 4160 Tuesdays London

I don't want to steal the limelight from Petales, but another scent I was introduced to at the event stayed in my head called "Be Careful What You Wish For" by 4160 Tuesdays a fruity oud that you won't soon forget and I now need in my life!

A Little Lifestyle:

There were a variety of Lifestyle Products on display including these handbags!

A few 'Adult Themed' items were on display as well.

You know I love Zen art/décor accents and the Thompson Ferrier Buddah Candle stopped me in my tracks! WANT IT!!!

Above: From Left to Right: Far Left: Chef Tessa Liebman, Photographer Tal Shpantzer, Stephen Dirkes, Karen Dubin, Sniffapalooza, and Henri Myers and Far Right: Tom Blackie who are the Founders of Maison 10

From a photographic standpoint I love snapping a group shot when the group is looking at a different photographer, for some reason I have always loved doing this - so it's posed and not posed at the same time.

The Gallery:

Here are TEN things about Maison Ten:

01. is an exciting new concept store and gallery space
02. showcases 10 carefully curated items across 10 categories
03. donates 10% of every sale to one of 10 different charities decided upon by the customer
04. features bags, books, candles, fragrances, gifts, homewares, jewelry, men's accessories, and well-being products
05. has a 10th themed category which it rotates every 10 weeks
06. exhibits 10 works of art for each 10 week period
07. changes everything apart from one top-seller in each category every 10 weeks
08. celebrates its new artist, designers and range of products every 10 weeks with a great event
09. is also online at www.maison10.com
10. LOVES YOU! :)

Above: Some of the guests in attendance pinched hit and rotated as "Guest Bartenders" this is Angus of The Container Globe as guest bartender pouring The Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé Cuvée de la Pompadour.  I borrowed this from Wine.com, but I just had to include it:

"The Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé Cuvée de la Pompadour, celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (the great courtesan and mistress of Louis XV) who is credited with introducing Champagne to the court and was an influential tastemaker in the matters of art, architecture and philosophy–famous for her comment,

"Champagne is the only wine a woman can drink and remain beautiful.""

MY TAKE:

This event was so "New York" to me in a good way. It was almost too hip for it's own good, I love the sensory interpretation and back story to the Voluptuary Trio by Euphorium Brooklyn. It was a treat for the senses combining sight, sound, scent, and amazing edibles.

Another Fragrance from Euphorium Brooklyn that stood out for me was CILICE, it is not part of the Voluptuary Trio, but notable none the less.

{#Photo Highlights} from @WeddingSalon New York City #BridalTradeshow {#WordlessWednesday} Don't miss the November Show!

Wedding Salon Bridal Tradeshow/Expo, New York City

Bridal Tradeshows are NOT just for Brides ladies! This summer I got a chance to the attend the Wedding Salon Bridal Tradeshow in New York City, the show comes back to NYC again this November, in a different venue and whether you are #TeamSummer or #TeamWinterWhite Wedding, the Wedding Salon Expo has a little something for everyone!

Here are my Photo Highlights:

Above: As soon as you enter, you see amazing dresses!

Above: The lace detail, the stunning exposed back, the pink lighting! This is super 'girly girliness' in all it's bridal glory!

Above: A violinist! She is the first person you see when you get off the elevator to the event, such a wonderful way to be greeted.

Above: OK I had to resist the urge to nip in the top part so the mannequin wouldn't have that 'saggy boob' look but I was afraid to touch anything!

Above: Nicole Miller Wedding Dresses look good 'coming and going' right? (Maybe it's a trick of the lighting and the way the dress falls, but I see a heart shape and a bit of 'butterflyesque' wings too!)

Above: I promise there are other dresses in addition to Nicole Miller, I took pictures in the order I proceeded through each room.

Above: You guessed it, another Nicole Miller!

Above: I got to meet the team from Glamour Closet who sell Designer Wedding Gowns up to 75% Off Retail - it's like a sample sale everyday! I got a close up on the price tags on both of the above gowns for you so you could see the savings for yourself! Left: Carolina Herrera Sample Gown from Glamour Closet and Right: I am living for this Lazaro Sample Gown!

Above: For Brides on a Budget who still want to knock em dead with a gorgeous designer gown, but only pay a fraction of the cost for it, Glamour Closet is definitely for YOU! This is a close up of the price of the dress on the left side of the dual dress photo! This Carolina Herrera Sample Gown is literally a STEAL!

Above: This is the price on the dress on the right. I was particularly fond of this Lazaro Sample Gown, now all I need is a Fiance! ROFLMAO

Above: She's a bit more 'frou frou' than my usual, but a mermaid style is super flattering!

Above: Needless to say that the Diamond Dust Portraits by Park Slope Press immediately caught my eye (and everyone else too!), I was born in April, and the birthstone for April is 'Diamond' - A Diamond Dust Portrait? FABULOUS (picture me yelling Fabulous in my best Oprah at Christmas Holiday Voice!) I WANT one of these. Heck I want one of me and my mom too, I think this would make a beautiful Mother's Day or 'anytime' gift for that matter, not just weddings!

Above: It's Alessandro's warm, bright smile and sunny disposition that drew me to his exhibitor booth, I Know You Can Dance offers Dance Lessons for the couple and can also craft father/daughter or mother/son dances either in a studio or at your residence!

Above: Gotta love those 'instagramable' moments (please don't use this tag now, I'm sure the contest is over!)

Above: DanielaRodriguezNYC Bridal Hair&Makeup was on hand to offer makeup touchups, be sure to check out her online portfolio of Beautiful Brides!

Above: Mid-way there was a musician switch!

Above: Honeymoon and Destination Wedding resorts are a very popular choice, and there was a ton of resort and tourism boards to choose from, The Royal Hideaway Playacar Hotel definitely had a pretty set up!

Above: Athena Entertainment definitely turned heads with a living 'Champagne Diva', and this is just some of what they can do for your next bash - wedding or any type of event or party for that matter! Seriously check out their 'Strolling Tables', Greeters, Face and Body Art as well as Specialty Acts, I'm sure you will be blown away!

Above: I have to confess I have yet to visit Sandals Resorts, looks like I am going to need to get on that and get out there as soon as possible, I'm overdue for some fun in the sun since I worked through the summer!

Above: I am sure most of you are familiar with Carlo's Bakery home of the Cake Boss, Buddy Velastro.  They cater, and they put together a really delicious assortment of just some of what they can do. Most people went back several times to enjoy the delectable array of cakes and sweets, myself included!

Above: Not to be outdone was La Maison Du Chocolat with a delicious spread of chocolate and macaroons!

Above: Ben & Jerry was in attendance and that ice cream line was LONG, the struggle is REAL! LOL Some of the New Jersey Ben & Jerry Franchisers were there to promote #benjerryweddings

Above: And for that 'something blue' the folks at Fratelli Saraceni have got you covered with 'BLUMOND' - the Italian Blue Sparkling Wine made from Prosecco grapes with an added flavor of fresh, sweet Peach. We also got to sample Splendia - Matilde - an Italian Sweet Sparkling Wine made from Merlot Grapes with an added hint of strawberry. Perfect companion to a Spa Day as well as your big day in my opinion.

Above: Joyce Kutty Designs - Her backstory is truly an awesome one - In 2011 Joyce realized her passion and artistic vision could also touch lives. During her studies at Rhode Island College she became aware of neutropenia, and abnormally low count of white blood cells - common among oncology patients going through chemotherapy treatment. These patients cannot have real flowers because of the bacteria in the flowers that are detrimental to a patients health, particularly during chemo. She explored the traditional Japanese art-form of origami (the art of folding) and with her background in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design she began creating origami floral arrangements. They reference real flowers as inspiration and any patient can have these in their room. When I read her backstory it truly touched me, during my Medical Crisis in 2011 I could not have flowers in my room. I remember visiting the Nurse's Station to see them enjoying my flowers (often times not even telling me they were there!) I wish I had heard about Joyce Kutty Designs sooner! All patients should experience the joy of a beautiful bouquet, and now they can! (passing you a tissue, I know you want one - isn't this the most touching backstory for a brand you have read in awhile?) With every order over $100, Joyce Kutty Designs donates a Bouquet to a patient at Rhode Island Hospital.

Above: Last but certainly NOT least is Maps by A.JAFFE - They are definitely a 'save the best for last' moment in this recap, These Jewelry Maps allow you to honor the places you hold dear, each custom made piece can be engraved with any location in the world and a Diamond marks the spot of a favorite memory. They resonated with me on so many levels I don't know where to start. At heart I am and always will be a Gypsy, a Nomad, a Wanderer. Stillness feels like death to me. I love to travel and roam, I love the idea of being able to capture the map of a favorite place and wear it as a necklace near my heart forever. I was born in April, us April babies are lucky enough to call Diamonds our 'birthrights' - ahem I mean 'birthstone'. So the fact that instead of an 'X' on the map you can commemorate a special place with a Diamond as the marker is just so, well...ME!!!!

MY TAKE: 

Butterflies, I presented a mere fraction of what was there, it was a full house and many times I couldn't get solid exhibitor booth shots, there were quite a few other tourism boards there, including one that holds a special place in my heart, Puerto Rico, but I couldn't get a booth shot of them.

While I work on creating my own Pinterest Board for the event, I will point you to Wedding Salon's Pinterest Board for this event, which can be found HERE (their board includes photos of the ginormous Gift Bag that you get on the way out!) and for a list of upcoming Bridal Shows you can attend, click HERE.
