Pink House

La Casa Rosada (The Pink House), where the president of Argentina goes to work everyday.


Tomorrow is a holiday here, as Argentina celebrates the May Revolution, which began the Argentine War of Independence.

The Pink House came to my mind as it's one of the most emblematic buildings of Buenos Aires - where the revolution began on May 25, 1810. As you can see, we are still a pretty young country: 202 years old.

It's almost Friday. Enjoy your weekend!

- Ralph Lauren

“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.”

Happy Monday!

Knowing exactly where you're going is overrated.

Ballet at Teatro Coliseo

Three ballet performances featuring more than 25 exceptional dancers from the world's best companies will be presented throughout the year at the Teatro Coliseo de Buenos Aires:

May 19, 2012
3E Étage Opera National de Paris
Eleven first figures from the Opera National de Paris' Ballet gather to present for the first time in Argentina "Nouvelles Virtuosités", a show that combines humor and virtuosity. A unique opportunity to see on the same stage the talented Argentinian dancer Ludmila Pagliero and "Danseur Étoile" Josua Hoffalt, performing choreographs by Raul Zeummes, William Forsythe and Samuel Murez.

Dogs and Dollars

The Argentine government has decided to apply restrictions on the purchase of US dollars, in order to reduce capital flight and tax evasion. These restrictions have made getting dollars an amazingly difficult task for the people in Argentina.

In order to control "black market" transactions - which increasingly take place due to the difficulty in getting dollars at official entities at official rates, they are now using dogs that can sniff out dollars. Because of this, unofficial entities have reduced their activity as they fear these dogs may uncover them.

Beware of dogs!

At some level, it's all about love and passion, nothing more or less.

Ralph Lauren could leave Argentina

Ralph Lauren, entered Argentina in 1999. The luxury fashion house has a flagship store on Avenida Alvear and two other shops - one in Galerías Pacífico and one in Unicenter shopping mall.

Make It Count

La Fortuna

Someone I met many years ago recently purchased a beautiful property about 200kms away from the city of Buenos Aires. I was invited to visit the property yesterday and I wanted to share some photos with you. "La Fortuna" (the fortune) is not just another Argentinian campo. It is a truly beautiful place with high energy that has managed to maintain the classic charm of the Argentinian campo mixed with exceptional comfort and modern luxuries.

Look Good

Here are some skin care ideas that will make you look great using all natural and organic products. Enjoy, and let us know if you loved it!

AVOCADO MASK
Beauty ingredients

2 avocados, thoroughly mashed into a paste
3 tablespoons sea salt
1/4 cup honey
Grated rind of two fresh lemons, along with the juice
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. (The consistency should be that of a thin cream.) Apply to your skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then scrub off well with warm water. Keep unused portion in refrigerator for two to three days.

Skin care benefit

Avocados have a treasure trove of anti-aging attributes, including vitamins A, D and E, as well as proteins, lecithin, potassium and beta-carotene, a cancer-fighting ingredient. Avocados also are high in emollient qualities imparted by sterolins, which work to heal sun-damaged skin, scarring and reduce age spots.
