I can tell you it's official , my Summer has ended , I spritzed the last of my Lovely bottle of Antonia's Flowers perfume , which Mr Double U bought me whilst on a Business trip to New York early this year . It's an amazing heady scent of freesia , made in East Hampton , Long Island , and I first wore it when I was about 22 years old , so I was a little concerned when I received the gift that I may have "outgrown" it like I have with so many of the perfumes I used to wear . Thankfully this was not the case ,it was like being re-united with an old friend that you've missed and love . Anyways now it's turned all wintry on me I've returned to my usual "Pot-Pourri" by Santa Maria Novella which I'm addicted to . Another smell I can't get enough of is Bamford's Jasmine Pebble Soap ,I only wish they did a full range of products to go with it . Well now you know what I smell like !
Earlier this week I took Miss Double U to see the opening of the Documentary " Diana Vreerland : The Eye Has To Travel " at the Curzon cinema in Mayfair .
It was just at the end of London Fashion Week so quite a few "faces " were there , Justine Picardie the new Editor of Harpers Bazaar was hosting the Q&A after the screening , talking to Lisa Immordino Vreerland the maker of the film and Diana's grand-daughter-in-law . Miss Double U 's face was a picture when she realised the gentleman in the audience making a comment during the Q&A was actually Manolo Blahnik - one of her heroes , in true Carrie Bradshaw fashion ! The film was great and truly gave a sense of the woman and her enormous personality and energy, quite inspirational .
I had the pleasure of going to see another Style Icon , Kevin Rowland , playing with his band the Dexys [ nee - Midnight Runners] at the Barbican last weekend . It was a surprise Birthday treat for Mr Double U and we had an amazing time. Rowland is Legendary , an amazing performer who has managed to retain the anger and verve of his youth and delivers it to his audience on stage with a lot of style . We agreed it was more like going to see musical theatre than a concert . Go See !
