BVLGARI TRIP - Moscow, Russia

I know it's been more than a month since I visited Russia and sorry it took me a little bit longer to finally write this entry. And here you go, some pictures and stories from my latest trip with BVLGARI to Moscow.

Well, I was beyond ecstatic when I first knew that we would be going to Russia for BVLGARI Tribute to Femininity Exhibition; and if you didn't know, to be able to visit the country had been on the very top of my wishlist for a very long time. I really can't thank BVLGARI enough for such wonderful experience.

Anyway, we arrived in Moscow in the afternoon after taking a red eye flight from Jakarta via Doha, but first thing first, hotel check in so we could freshen up before playing tourist and of course catching the sunset while cruising the famous Moskva River to see some of the most popular landmarks and attractions around Moscow's Golden Island. Not forgetting, a quick late lunch beforehand because I was dying to try their local food and well, it didn't disappoint.

After we had enough sleep, it was finally the second day and the schedule was to visit the famous tourist attractions like Bolshoi Theatre, Metro Tour and of course the beautiful Arbat Street.

Then after lunch, we continued the city tour by visiting the Alexander Garden and also Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.

We ended the day by taking tons of pictures outside the iconic Vogue Cafe right before having dinner inside. Gotta love the food there although the service was quite bad.

On the third day, Stefi and I were joined by Mba Shantica from Herworld for the exhibition of course and also for more city tour since Moscow is quite a big (and beautiful) city so there are so many places that we shouldn't miss like the well-known Kremlin and also the one and only Saint Basil's Cathedral.

On the last day, it was finally the day of BVLGARI Tribute to Femininity Exhibition. We started with a morning stroll inside GUM where we were greeted by Bvlgari Ice Cream and then moved on to the photo exhibition (still in the GUM), where you can learn about the history of Bvlgari right from the start, how the brand developed its unique style, the exquisite women who wore Bvlgari jewelries from the 90s and more.

Right after breakfast, we were ushered straight to the Kremlin once again for the main Jewelry Exhibition, to dive into the world of Bvlgari, where everything is super fine and sparkling.

Remember, if you are in Moscow or planning to visit the city, be sure not to miss Bvlgari Exhibition "Tribute to Femininity" at GUM and Kremlin (till 13 January 2019) because it's everything you wanna know about the beginning to the present time.

The exhibition features more than 500 pieces spanning from the late 19th century until the 1990s.

The exhibition path itself is developed in two independent and highly complementary sections. Unique jewels are showcased in the first venue while the second one highlights the successful families of jewels that today are considered Bvlgari icons.

With THE Jean-Christophe Babin himself.

Later at night, it was the cocktail dinner and after party where we enjoyed ourselves drinking, snacking and also mingling with other guests. And like I said before, it was our last night in Moscow and coming up next is another Bvlgari trip in Saint Petersburg. Stay tuned :)

BVLGARI TRIP - Rome & Vatican

So, here goes the last part of my #bulgaritrip in Italy: Rome & Vatican edition. I've already uploaded the video of the trip on my youtube channel last week and in case you missed it, you can watch the video above :)

We started the day having a cup of coffee of course but in a fancy way, at Bulgari's. Just kidding, we bought it right in front of the iconic store right before going inside and had a quick tour. The store is located at 10 Via dei Condotti, and it is Bulgari's first original store (after replacing the one in Via Sistina back in 1905) in the world.

A lovely store tour by Mr. Giovanni, thank you for having us and for filling us with interesting history about Bulgari, from the family, the iconic interiors, to the uniqueness of Bulgari jewelry pieces.

A quick stop at the Spanish Steps and also to learn about the fact that Rome's Spanish Steps had finally reopened in 2016 after its restoration funded by an Italian luxury brand and it's none other than BVLGARI.

Not forgetting to visit Fontana di Trevi to toss my coin and make a wish, and finally the Vatican Museum. Learning about ancient history is always exciting, you know ;)

Spending our last day in Rome with, first, a Sunday Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican and seeing the Pope from the window while he's giving his Angelus blessing.

Then we went back to Rome to visit the other iconic amphitheater, the Colosseum just before going to the airport. Do you know that Bulgari's Bzero1 collection was inspired by the eternal perfection of the Colosseum?

"The design merging the imposing grandeur of Rome's great Colosseum, the most eternal of all monuments, with the strong lines of modern Italian design."

And it's finally the end of my trip together with Bulgari.

Last but not least, I would like to thank BVLGARI Indonesia and Tefi again and again for the opportunity and the experience, I surely had a memorable trip in Italy this year. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.
