In London it is very hard to find a party that is so laid back.  With DJ Nikki on the turntables and Wale pleasing the crowd this shindig was the place to be you.  The Japanese kids got their groove on and the rest of us looked fab.  I night well spent, even though it took most an hour to find this hole in the wall called Naked Beach.



Daisy  by Marc Jacobs will  Celebrate her  First Anniversary  by  creating  a Travelling Daisy Chain with London's Black Cabs.

Passengers will be taken  on a flower power journey with the Marc Jacobs Daisy fragrance. These special addition  black cabs will be blinged out with  Daisies to create a Marc Jacobs Daisy chain. In  London, the Marc Jacobs Daisy cabs will also be spotted in Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh capturing the essence of the fragrance, between 22nd September-19th October.  Gosh I hope this weekend I can catch one!

Marc Jacobs may even be in one of the black cabs introducing his new Daisy eau de parfum, with tipped seats playfully decorated in daisy fields.  As well as a bouquet of Marc Jacobs Daisy lollipops will be given to the fares!

Andre Coetzee, General Manager, Taxi Media said: "Coty Prestige came to us wanting to develop the first ever black cab daisy chain to celebrate the anniversary of their Daisy Marc Jacobs fragrance. Using pioneering 3D lenticular technology; we have worked with Coty Prestige to create a field full of daisies to showcase the new Daisy Marc Jacobs eau de parfum on tip seats inside the taxis as well. We are really excited to work with Coty Prestige and its advertising agency OMD UK to develop this campaign and really push the boundries of taxi advertising."

Pamela Routley, Brand Manager Coty Prestige added "We wanted consumers to be able to interact with the playfulness of Daisy Marc Jacobs in a novel and fun way and London's iconic black cabs are perfect for communicating the key brand messages."

Daisy opens with the luscious natural freshness of wild strawberry, violet leaves and ruby red grapefruit. The heart of gardenia, violet petals and jasmine petals is velvety and luminous - a modern vintage. musk, vanilla infusion and white woods round out the balance of notes with smooth softness and warm sensuality.

This past week was the last of a legacy, London fashion week, will soon be London 4 day week.  Because of scheduling problems, American Holiday's and I guess Fashion tyrants.  London is loosing it's appeal for up and coming fashion.

Here was one of my favourite shows of the week.  I miss the Brooklyn streets a lot and a Sunday Jazz Brunch, so on Sunday in London Caroline Charles delivered just that. At her show she had a jazz band that wasn't that bad!!

I kinda felt like I was at Birdland in the 50's..

CC sent a 50's esque  style down the runway very Hamptons country club.  In many other shows last week had the same vibe.  Next Spring women are going to be dressing like the voluminous vixens that we are.

Sorry some of the pictures are awful, using a Nokia 7900 and the quality is awful.  I hope to have my Viewty LG pack so, if not I will try my new I-Phone, so let's just wait and see.

I am so excited to be starting a new career along with a new career comes accessories right ladies.  Well look no further if you need that chic bag or clutch to stuff you laptop in, so you can go from day to night.

Paris is known for some of the best cuisine in Europe.  Yet, if you want the best Japanese food you should defiantly go to Japan.  In Paris most Japanese restaurants are owned and run by the Chinese or Koreans, real Japanese people usually walk out as soon as they see non-Japanese people in the Kitchen.  Well search no further on the chic rue Saint- Honoré we found an owed and operated family style Japanese restaurant Sapporo.

Sapporo is located at 276, rue Saint- Honoré 75001 Paris tel. 01 40 15 98 66 Métro Pyramides.  We knew we found our spot for great Ramen noodles when we witnessed that the place was filled with Japanese tourist.  Our favourites where filled with shrimp.  Everything looked delicious it was very hard to choose.   The service and the staff where excellent, they really made you feel welcome and joked with you all the time.
