What a wonderful way to christen my
new Canon scanner self-purchase.

D’Amour magazine has launched – the first glossy title to be published by David M Robinson jewellers. John Robinson and his team were a delight to work with, as was FMS publishing. Hopefully another issue in the spring…in time for Basel….fyi to all those just mentioned who happen to be reading this…!

Merry Christmas to all in the North West and snowy Canary Wharf. I am wearing the ‘Your’re the One’ 18 carat pendant designed by Vix, see below.

Paris….2 weeks before Christmas.
Slick, cold and damp and beyond stylish.

Business & Plaisir…

Even the Christmas decos ‘ve got panache in that city. Pas grande surprise that I burnt ma carte credite to cinders….The delicious Bon Marche foto’d below - the entire store was illuminated in my fave hue, see Essie nail varnish and indulgent new biz cards.

Throw in a very sweaty night of live salsa c/o Cuban maestro Tito Fuentes at the New Morning jazz club, Tito and 21 band members on a tiny stage. The King of Latino rocks, the dudes on the sax were mesmerising.

We shook our stuff for hours on end and forgot the world prior, see Les Petites.

I got twirled and twirled and twirled again. A truly latin, sizzling night, as were the rum cocktails at Le Baron afterwards; the place was swelling with hungry and trashed modeles.  Lots of attention on yours truly – had to point that out as am (clearly) over 18 and not anorexic so well delighted..

And all this while staying with the hottest Parisienne in town, Francoise Spiekermeier with a wardrobe, a black and white movie set style loft and Bonnie and Clyde (cats) – to die for (Metro Alesia).  She was an unbelievable hostess – made me amazing food, plied me with champagne and vin rouge and took us out to the concert of a lifetime.

The oysters were a marvel at Le Relais in St Germain, utterly Parisian bistro with great winter grub, Hot chocolate damn good (but not as good as the one in Seville last month) at Angelina.

Terrible meal at the hip Cafe Marly at The Louvre, followed by a brandy at Le Fumoir.  Not to be too dull, but that Metro seriously works well…Have never visited the place without returning to ogle Monet’s masterpieces at the Orangerie in the Tuileries, even with nausea bug and all my luggage and laptop that wasnt really required on the trip…funnily enough. Moody Parisian security were not amused at luggage…Loving the liquid-free-travel dramas on Eurostar too.

Managed to squeeze in 2 x new client meetings, one due to start March ’11 – nice start to new year JRPR!

The powers that be at The Resident have featured the Kaleidoscope bracelet by Heming jewellers

And on the facing page, the advert for the collection.

Great stuff, great timing, get your thermals on and take a trek to Burlington Arcade for some sparkles this week

Yours Truly has just given good quote…in the industry title, Retail Jeweller, on why brands should pursue with a public relations campaign.

Not only a PR and copywriter, also a spokesperson in the trade…

A full service ‘consultancy’!

BA High Life Magazine features Shanghai Tang in Mongolia in the December issue, taking the age-old sport of Polo, back to where it all began.

The PR girl has fully serviced her client – with the most innocent of intentions of course…working with Devetta PR on luxury brand from China, Shanghai Tang.

As a child, I was fascinated by Mongolia, outer or inner, it was irrelevant.  Magical and most definitely mysterious, exotic, exciting and definitely enticing.  I’ve indirectly been there and back and got the Polo t-shirt to prove it, experienced vicariously through a fabulous writer and photographer…

What a wonderful feature written by Justin Cartwright and photographed by Andrew Rowat, who trekked to Mongolia at the end of August, on behalf of Shanghai Tang, going back to Polo’s roots
