Posted in Celebrities, Lifestyle, Restaurants with tags , , on March 24, 2011 by andalusitravelandluxury

Few Cafes in Europe can boast of belonging to the elite of intellectuals, writers, journalists … and Cafe Louvre is one of them

Opened in 1902 in the current Narodni street 20. After climbing a staircase beautiful decorated. we arrived at Cafe louvre on the first floor.
You are greeted by a smart waiter dressed in traditional french cafe attire .The smell of coffee is all around on the first floor.

During the morning we can enjoy pastries, cakes, breakfast dishes, coffee or tea. In the evening salads, sandwiches or soups are offered to visitors.
The rooms are elegantly decorated in a style similar to old European Cafes such as Paris or Vienna.

  • Shade pale walls
  • Mirrors
  • Elegant Furniture
  • Large windows give great light to the Cafe and let us see the hustle in Ferdinand and Narodni Avenues where cars, trams and people are passing by the whole day


During Communism (1948) the cafe had to shut down and the building was damaged. The building was abandoned.
Finally, in 1992 improvements works were carried out and Cafe Louvre re-openned trying to keep the essence of the past years.
Where the pool tables used to be, there is now a special room which works as a Restaurant. The nice pool area is now next to the Cafe

Really we recommend a visit if you want to enjoy a very laid back atmosphere and let your mind go back to 30 `s

Some of the celebrities who have visited the Louvre Cafe are Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka and a large group of Czech writers and philosophers who met weekly to discuss and share theories.

Posted in Business, Celebrities, General on March 19, 2011 by andalusitravelandluxury

Last May the Picasso painting “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust” was sold for a record-breaking $106.5 million at Christie’s New York.
The painting had belonged to Frances Lasker Brody´s family in California

The painting had a presale estimate between $70 mill and 90$ mill.As you can watch in this video below it was a nine minute battle and the final bid was $95 mill but the buyer’s premium took the sale price to $106.5 mill
The buyer was an unidentified telephone bidder.


At that time it was rumored that a Russian oligarch living in London was the buyer.But nothing was confirmed by R.Abramovich.Recently the painting have been lent to Tate Modern Museum in London by the unnamed private collector.
The fact that the unidentified buyer is based in London too(where R.Abramovich owns the Chelsea Football club an a &230 mill mansion) become evident.
The previous record for a work of art at auction was $104.3 million for “Walking Man I,” (Alberto Giacometti) sold on Feb 3 in London

Posted in Celebrities, General with tags , , on March 15, 2011 by andalusitravelandluxury

Today we speak about an exclusive mineral water brand in the world. Bling H2O.
How can we distinguish one brand of water from the rest? It seems a difficult question to answer.
First let’s get a little bit closer to the business of bottled water.
In recent decades the price of bottled water has decreased significantly, declining by almost 50%
In terms of consumption we would like to highlight some figures regarding to the consumption of this product:

  • Annually it is consumed about 200 billion bottles of mineral water in the world, creating a business of $ 60 billions
  • In Asia and the Pacific can be seen double-digit growth in turnover
  • If we divide the consumption of bottled water we have regions that the United States is the largest consumer followed by Mexico, China and Brazil.
  • U.S. bottled water is on second place after soft drinks in a struggle to win consumers by appealing to the beneficial effects to health of drinking mineral water.

Bling H2O was created by Kevin G Boyd, a Hollywood producer and writer (films such as Roadtrip) After years of watching the celebrities, as they spent their money, their habits of consumption and the profit or recognition that this product gave them decided to develop a high class mineral water.
Kevin G Boyd noticed that the celebrities treated their mineral water in a very special way This situation is not so weird We must think that athletes, actors, supermodels… are people who need take care of their bodies and stay in shape much more than a regular person. A world where your image and what you consume is observed by millions of people
It is here when Kevin G Boyd decided to create Bling H2O. Bling H2O comes from Tennessee and is subjected to a purification process that includes ozone, ultra violet and micro filtration
As if it were an expensive champagne the water is bottled in a frosted glass,corked and decorated with Swarovski crystals.
In the beggining, the water brand could only be acquired by selected-celebrities
Bling H20 can now be purchased at fancy restaurants in New York, the average price per bottle is $ 55. 720ml
The queen of the Crown is the Dubai Collection “Ten Thousands” a bottle decorated with 10,000 Swarovski. crystals priced at $ 2600. You can take a look to the pic

Really a Roll Royce in the mineral water world. Worth a taste
