The end of November marked my dear friend Anna Gelikman's birthday, and a bunch of friends gathered together to celebrate in high style in Beverly Hills!
I wanted to do something really special for Anna, so I orchestrated a day that I knew she would love. With the help of my dear friend Jon Wilkin - the manager of the Versace boutique on Rodeo Drive - we started out with a fabulous champagne toast at the Versace boutique, chatting excitedly about the festivities that lay ahead. After all of the ladies settled in, we were escorted to the new Annenberg Exhibit called il Teatro alla Moda. What is this new exhibit, you ask? It's a breathtaking collection of incredible costumes made throughout the years for various Italian operas.
The costumes were so beautiful! We were instantly transported to the stage of La Scalla and the voice of Maria Callas, and days of an incredible by gone era. Some of the costumes were designed by Missoni, Fendi, and Valentino, and the largest room belonged to Versace. The Versace pieces were too incredible to express in words (see the photos below!).
We were simply speechless. It was a private, VIP tour, and the Curator kept us so entertained. Plus, lovely Mother-in-law bought the book for me! Lucky me :-) After the amazing tour, we walked over to Scarpetta at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon on the outside patio, toasting our beautiful friend Anna! I gave her some fun Bday wishes.
My outfit of the day consisted of my new favorite dress, my hot pink studded Versace for H&M mini!
I did not want this day to end.... I think everyone was so thrilled, including myself, as it was such a treat to organize this fantastic day for my girlfriends. A toast to all my stunning girlfriends, I love doing special things and planning special events for my friends!
Til next time,
Xo, G
