Hello New York…

April 14, 2010 · 22 comments

After four days of moving & packing insanity, we managed to get to Heathrow with a hour to spare. That will have been because my mother was cracking the whip, and whisked me out the house. Otherwise I’d probably still be re-packing my cases on the driveway and weeping as the dogs tried to climb in my bags.

Oh how the neighbours must love us.

I’m hitting the ground running today with a five hour session at Big Ad company for some group brand brainstorming, and then I’m off to have tea with the divine Lulu Guinness at The Carlyle, pick out a swimsuit at Eres, and check out Zimmerman’s pop up store in SoHo. Oh and swing by Soho House to pick up my mail.

I also need to fit in a mani/pedi as I fly to Puntacana in the Domincan Republic at idiot o’clock tomorrow morning, and my feet resemble hooves. Instead of seeing friends, tonight I will be rootling around in my storage container to find clothes suitable for cocktails with Oscar de la Renta on Thursday night, and three days of smart resort life, parties and other jolifications. Otherwise I am going to look mighty strange in tailored wool shorts, Wolfords & pearls on the beach.

I am so jealous that you will be hanging with Oscar in the Dominican Republic! Lucky you! It looks beautiful. Hope you don’t miss the dogs too much and that you get all your beach prep done in time.

You are going to meet Oscar de la Renta? Now I am seriously envious. That’s so exciting! I want to know everything you manage to squeeze out of him. He’s by far my favourite designer when it comes to fairy tale dresses.

Have a great time but please remember the misery and pain that still exists on the other half of that island. Leave lots of money behind! :-)

Oh I love your life Liberty London Girl! ‘Cocktails with Oscar de la Renta’ and ‘tea with Lulu Guiness’! After an exhausting day in the hospital (sometimes I really HATE being a junior doctor), this, and Gossip Girl are all I need. Many thanks x

Well that’s a lot on your plate — make sure you don’t smudge your mani/pedi with all that too-ing and fro-ing

Selfishly I am glad that you are back on this side of the world. Hope you have a lovely time away and remember the jet lag rule: don’t make any life plans in the 1st 24 hours. xxx

If you’re just too busy to make that cocktail party with Oscar de la Renta, I don’t mind going in your place. I’ll say nice things about you, I promise.

*sigh* I’m glad you have lovely glamorous things to look forward to and to take your mind off the sadness of leaving family and PBD. Have found inspiration in your gloriously hectic schedule and now think a med/ped is on the cards for my Lil Sis and I when she visits me in Oxford tomorrow. I think a cup of tea somewhere nice might do us very well too. Sending lots of good wishes and productive thoughts to help you on your whirlwind adventure through the next days xxx
