Mademoiselle

Got up at shock-o-clock today to take a 7.15am flight to Berlin. Thought The Dog was going to have a heart attack when the alarm went off at 4.45am.

Had no idea what the weather would do, so worked a Luella plaid jacket with some high waisted J Brands and a vest. Simple and safe.

Am loving the shopping at Terminal Five. Ran out of Creme de la Mer last week and have been surviving on beauty desk scraps ever since. Hit La Mer counter at 6 am - oooh that felt good, got the mega-only-available-at-airports size. That should last at least nine months…

Got to Berlin and headed straight to the head office of German label, Wunderkind. OMG. The showroom is in East Berlin, in a converted pallazzo over five floors. It was so grand and impressive and I wanted to move in immediately. Would remove some of the spooky ‘art’ though and replace with a bar.

Next, I went to Berlin’s answer to Paris’ super chic fashion store, Colette. It’s called The Corner and bizarrely is owned by an old friend of mine who I hadn’t seen for years. We had a good old gossip and catch up, he gave me champagne and I bought a See By Chloe jumper…….mmmm, alcohol plus me, equals shopping. Anyway, Swarovski Crystalised was throwing a cool, not the norm bridal show and had commissioned lots of designers from Giambatista Valli to Christopher Kane to create gowns. Cool bridal and I’m newly single? Life is so unfair.

After a fashion packed day, I’m now sitting at the airport where I am recovering from shock. The rather butch security lady ransacked my patent YSL shopper and found my Creme de la Mer. My blood ran cold as she re-scanned it, poked it, inspected it, re-scanned it, looked at the box. Oh my god no. Not the Creme de la Mer. Ok, need tactics, quick, thinking, bitch fit or damsel in distress approach? Went for damsel and it worked! I never ever go for that tactic!!! A full on BF usually does it…..

I’ve got three birthday parties and a leaving drinks to attend tonight. I might just curl up with the dog who has been with Pets And The City all day today. Cannot wait to see him.
