In Reality

Those of you who know me personally are more than aware that Feb 14th is without question my favorite day of the year. This has nothing to do with sales, although we are always inundated from panicked men in desperate need of our willingness to ensure their last minute Valentine Day’s orders make it to their intended recipients on time. We go the extra mile for love, and happy to do so! Yesterday I attempted to engage in discussions regarding the very subject whenever possible, and I must say with little success. I was met with a great deal of … Continue reading In Reality

All In a Days Work

I have to say things have been rather busy here of late. I have just published my first book, had a great book signing of which I am most grateful, (@Chevalier’s Books) and I am about to premiere my new luxury, petite pouches with which to hide somewhere in your terribly expensive shoulder bags. I decided to add such an item to the line due to the mere fact that I love to have multiple small bags  within which to add whatever I care to on any particular day, be it: an eyeliner, lipstick, loose change, keys, a Ritual Perfume … Continue reading All In a Days Work

OMG Bali!

When I first came to this country I could scarcely drive. Coming from Europe, driving was seldom required and one might say impractical. All the same, I had somehow passed my test, and in the beginning drove in Los Angeles on my international license. I purchased a VW Beetle, an old one, which I loved. I had learnt to drive on a stick but it had been sometime since I had actually changed gears. What a mess! It would take me about five, sweat inducing minutes to travel but a hundreds meters. The stalling! The complete lack of comprehension of … Continue reading OMG Bali!

I moved into my new office space on the 1st and I have to say it has yet to make up its mind, design speaking that is. I have no idea which direction to take. Actually what I should say is that I am all over the place. Korea Town in Los Angeles is a vibrant hub in the city. There is no other part of town that compares. Below me are Korean eateries and watering holes, one in particular is heavily frequented by an amalgamation of OG Korean “business” men along with bearded Hipsters with leggy girlfriends in tow. At … Continue reading On 7th

All Consuming

Well the thing is, the World Cup has held me captive since the first whistle blow. I have been completely enthralled, even though England was knocked out in the early stages. I expected it, we all did, and it hurt, but then one must accept defeat and move on. I can honestly say, I have been having a spectacular time. This past Saturday I went with some friends to a favourite destination in the city to watch the games. The crowd was particularly rowdy and 95 percent French. “Allez les Bleus” was chanted most of the 90 mins and Champagne … Continue reading All Consuming

Instantaneous

As most of you know my foray into the realm of Social Media has been a reluctant one. Those who indulge in Geisha are a dynamic, sophisticated lot; engaged in life with little time to “follow” (anything) surely.  Yet I occasionally receive wonderful words of encouragement with regards to pieces written and thus reminded that you do check in and remain just as eager to connect as I am with you. Recently I joined Instagram, with much hesitation admittedly.  “Oh if only I were home in the UK,” I bemoaned. “Or in some other metropolis. I could simply step out … Continue reading Instantaneous
