What is the future of televisions?
Some years ago when you wanted to buy a TV, the number of options included were
limited. The most common things to look for were regular specifications like
size, price, and black & white or color.
Today it is necessary to
choose among all sorts of specifications and features when you shop for a new TV. In addition to screen size and cost such
features as resolution, contrast, and definition are usually part of the
decision. Another critical choice is whether you want a LED, LCD or plasma TV.
Currently
there is a fantastic new option which offers even more features. I recently had
the opportunity to attend an LG Electronics event in which I viewed a
demonstration of their OLED TV. It has more advanced features than I could have
imagined were possible.
The first
thing I noticed about this amazing TV was how stylish and thin it is. Its
screen is curved and it is only 4.3mm thick, the same thickness as a pencil. I have never seen a TV so thin. The curved screen
gives you the new option to watch your favorite show from any angle in your
room without losing the picture quality.
Another special feature
is the way the TV turns when you want to watch your favorite movie in a dark
room. Because OLED displays do not require
a backlight, pixels that are switched off are truly black, so OLED achieves
deeper black levels and a higher contrast ratio. When compared to LCD (liquid
crystal display) TVs with conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL)
backlighting, there is a quite a difference in the quality of the picture. The black of the screen doesn’t turn grey
when you dim the lights in the room.
For sports
fans the LG TruMotion 240Hz technology lets you enjoy sporting events and
high-speed action with enhanced clarity. Expect even the fastest action to be dependably
crystal clear and virtually blur-free.
For me the most
extraordinary feature of this TV is that it has most of the smart functions
found on a smart phone. It has webOS user interface features that allow instant
access to your favorite apps. You can access your favorite apps instantly. It
has a magic remote control that connects you with point
& click, the scroll of a wheel, and the LG’s advanced Voice Mate feature
with natural speech recognition. Yes, you can send voice commands to your TV, request
to search for a special episode of a show, or find a film starring your
favorite Hollywood actor! You can even control all your home entertainment devices
with just one remote. Say goodbye to that pile
of remote controls.
Do you
want to know the cost of this TV? I was surprised to find that the price of the
OLED TV was less than I expected. The cost of the 55 inch model is $ 3,499.

Originally created as Gabrielle Chanel’s signature
fragrance, and named for her August 19 birthday, N°19 expresses a rich,
assertive blend of green and white flowers. The audacious, unconventional scent
is reimagined in N°19 POUDRÉ, introducing facets of crisp green woods and
precious iris for a truly timeless effect. True to the original, this unique
fragrance remains resolutely modern, boldly sophisticated but ultimately
sensual and feminine.

I love stripes and they can not be missed in my wardrobe. I am in love with this ladylike black and white striped dress. The unconventional mix of stripes gives it a modern touch. The black and white stripe trend is really timeless. It allows you to go bold while keeping things classy and basic.Photos: Dimonika Bray, Beatuy: Paula Mendes, Dress: Banana Republic, Shoes: BCBG, Jewelry: Forever 21If you have concerns about wearing stripes, here are some tips on how to choose the right stripe pattern to flatter your figure.
Vertical stripes - The petite woman can elongate her figure with vertical stripes. If you are petite in height with full figure keep the stripe vertical, and choose a smaller stripe. If you are petite and on the thin side, a bolder stripe will make you look a bit bigger.
Horizontal stripes - The slim woman who would like to look a bit more curvy can choose a bold, horizontal stripe.
Diagonal stripes - Most figure types can wear diagonal stripes. This option is especially good for the plus size women.

Tomas Maier, the creative director, describes the inspiration for this creation: “An old house in the beautiful countryside in the Veneto region of Italy with rolling green hills, where we’re from. I envisioned a room with old wood floors, library walls and leather-bound books with the windows open wide, the breeze coming in and cut grass, hay, moss, garden flowers, growing through the room and everything mixing up. That’s where we started.” (wwd)
The nose of the composition is Michel Almairac from Robertet who blended notes of Italian bergamot, Brazilian pink pepper, Indian Sambac jasmine, oak moss, patchouli and Indian patchouli.
The face of the campaign is Nine d'Urso, the daughter of French fashion icon Inès de la Fressange and Italian art dealer Luigi d'Urso. The campaign was shot Bruce Weber in South Florida.

On Sunday, April 13, I had the pleasure of attending a formal afternoon tea at the Taj Hotel
in Boston. The event was organized by Nara Paz, a Brazilian designer who was previously interviewed for the blog. Nara invited a group of chic and powerful
women from the New England area to meet and network together. The guest of honor was
Kayla Harris, the 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist in judo.
We met
in the hotel’s elegant tearoom which overlooks Boston Public Gardens. It was a perfect
setting in which to exchange professional ideas, experience, and goals. The authentic
British tea included tasteful selections of canapes and delicious petite sweets
served on delicate Chinese porcelain. It was a wonderful afternoon and I cannot
wait for the next gathering.

This winter was really
one of the most severe when compared to past decades with many days of temperatures
below zero. Those of us living in the northeastern part of the United States
suffered through many cold and sunless days. Fortunately, our country is large
and it's easy to find a warm and sunny place to visit. Perhaps you don't have
the time to go to the Caribbean. Don't worry because Florida has many great
cities and beaches. In early March we decided to check it out. Chasing a
promise of warm weather and sunshine, we traveled to Miami's South Beach. Our
hotel was an Art Deco masterpiece which had a balcony view of the ocean one
block away. Everything was within walking distance including many great
restaurants and famous designer stores. South beach is where the fun happens!
Love!
