AN ALL-STAR crowd hit Tanglewood’s Shaftel Diamonds for a luxe launch party toasting Reagan Bregman’s new jewelry line, With Love.

Nearly 100 fashionistas, beauty queens and ballplayers joined the Astros wife in celebration. Guests were welcomed withspicy “Reaggie Ritas,” served on the rocks by El Tiempo Cantina, which they sipped to the soundtrack of DJ Nicholas Yapp. Meanwhile, Chef Rey served up grilled shrimp and white chocolate covered strawberries.

With Love features elevated everyday pieces designed to last, all inspired by Reagan’s own on-the-go lifestyle, which calls for versatile and high quality yet affordable pieces that anyone could wear with ease.

SINCE THE 1970s, Houston’s cultural scene has only grown richer and more diverse thanks to the DIY spirit of its visual artists. As an alternative to the city’s major museums (which are awesome) and commercial galleries (again, awesome), they show their work and the work of their peers in ad-hoc, cooperative, artist-run spaces — spaces that range from the traditional white cube interiors, to private bungalows, to repurposed shipping containers.

Houston’s Grammy-Nominated Music Org Gets ‘Bach’ to Basics with Concert and Book Release

FOR FANS OF early music — an often scholarly lot who aren’t afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves — bad-boy Baroque-era painter Caravaggio certainly nailed something in his dramatic 1595 painting, “The Musicians.” (Simon Schama talks about this in his TV series The Power of Art.) One look at his masterpiece, and you feel as if you’ve stumbled upon and surprised a roomful of dewy-eyed musicians, their youthful faces swollen with melancholy, with the lutist looking like he’s about ready to burst into tears before he’s even tuned his instrument. So no, you certainly don’t need a Ph.D. to enjoy and be moved by the music of Handel, G.P. Telemann, or J.S. Bach, but a little bit of scholarship never hurt anyone. Knowing the history of this music may even deepen your appreciation of it.
