Then the rain didn’t go away so I started on my holiday plans. What started as illegible scrawls of hotels, dates and places to go has now solidified into a couple of tables and a tick box type check list of things that need to be confirmed. I’ve been google mapping quite a bit of London this weekend. It’s such a densely packed city and the names of streets and landmarks are so whimsical and iconic, I felt like I was playing Monopoly.
My current plan allows for 5 days of free time before my conference which is in the Docklands area. I’ll be staying in the Westminster area to start with and then moving on to Canary Wharf. I also have a short list of 9 places I need to visit. And they’re not shops. Who would have thought. They are rather touristy though.
Cavalicious has reopened and all is good with Saturday mornings again. Except that I was running late and missed out on my usual almond croissant. The ricotta danishes are a pretty fine substitute though.
Technology is a wonderful but every once in a while, your body says no and gives you a headache from looking at your computer screen for too long. So I spent the afternoon reading a hard copy magazine and looking at my battery operated analogue clock.
And it was just as well I was concentrating hard on the pages between Kim K’s weight loss and the Golden Globes dress round up because guess who was on both page 67 and 68? Red Phoenix Emporium jewels!!

| Seeing RPE’s Match My Missoni necklace on page 67 of this week’s Who Weekly helped soothe my mind after reading of Kim K’s inner turmoil and journey of self discovery. |
It was only a matter of time before the nation’s fashion editors saw the light, quite frankly. RPE jewels take pride of place in the collections of so many of us ordinary folk and they are so much fun to wear. I swear they give a little love back as well. What’s not to like? People, we’re in the calm before the fashionista frenzy and our giveaway will definitely put you ahead of the fash pack.

It’s fantastic recognition for Willow and Lotus who’ve worked so hard to bring Red Phoenix Emporium vision to as many fashion lovers as possible. With this coverage in Who Weekly, the sky’s the limit. Who Now Knows.
Ladies, I’ve taken it upon myself to do your PR for London. I’m planning our London campaign right now. It’s a place that needs colour at the moment with those 8C daytime temperatures. I’m thinking high tea at The Dorchester as well as frequent trips to Harvey Nichols for maximum brand exposure. Or I could go round to Victoria B’s place and have a chat along with an impromptu trunk show.
