Ok, well, it’s not as though anyone actually needs a reason to visit Paris. The fact that I had two amazing reasons, only meant that I really had no excuse NOT be in Paris. So the first reason was that my darling best friend from NYC, the utterly stylish and totally sophisticated Ilya, was there for the Labour Day weekend. And the second was that BOTH my Parisian cousins got married last year and it was an opportunity to crack the bubbly. Which of course, we did!

So Paris disappeared in a whirl of glamour, style and indulgence. Enclosed in a bubble of phenomenal, special, wonderful company we explored, discovered, adventured, feasted and returned exhausted but radiant to our sublime hotel feeling like… well… this is how life should really be lived!

It started in Virgin Upper Class, was followed by a load of fabulous socializing with the ultra hip, was interrupted by a brief sojourn to Paris, and then continued with culture, more socializing, fabulous feasts, loads of only-in-London shopping and loads of literary chats with the most fabulous, divine, gorgeous and insightful literati… White Knights is now available at daunt books in Chelsea (fabulous wonderful amazing news!)… and then ended with an exhausted sigh back in Virgin Upper Class. Life is wonderful!

More about the fun coming soon, in the meantime, pics!

All I can say is WOW! Cape Town’s literary fashionista, media, and most stylish and sassy ignored the bitter cold and winter thunder storm to sip cocktails, chatter excitedly and generally have a ball at the CT launch! It was stupendous, amazing, gorgeous and divine! And the party went on and on and on…I was over the moon, absolutely blown away and utterly honoured at the turnout, reponse and warmth of the CT crowd. It was the most gorgeous wonderful evening!

The fabulous photos were taken by the phenomenally talented Sally Rodrigues (click here to view divine slideshow). Sally’s portfolio speaks for itself but her passion is remarkable… oops, gushing! Grin. Happy to pass on sally’s details if anyone has occasion they need captured by such a gorgeous, charming, divine chick simply oozing talent…
