Business is great, but not sure about the randomness of daily routine it produces.
Friday evening I visited a friend, whom we’ve been trying to meet up for about a year. Finally, it happened. Wow, the dinner she cooked put her on the pedestal of Mademoiselle Chefess. Garlic and parsley roasted chicken with lemon and honey gravy, stuffed tomatoes and roast potatoes and for dessert orange pancakes with vanilla and peanut ice cream. Keris has been wearing vintage gloves well before they became fashionable and she hires out vintage china for tea parties and weddings. She is the most romantic and at the same time the funkiest wedding florist I have ever met, her combination of colours brings every little girls’ ultimate dream alive: I did it. Blue Dove Weddings is a restful local island: http://www.bluedoveweddings.com/.
Saturday I met Comi, a London College of Fashion graduate at a friend’s house warming party. She does workshops in East London giving people ideas how to customise clothes. She asked me what I would change in the fashion industry to make it more environmental friendly. It is a tough cookie, but I believe in local production and longer lasting products is the answer. It is unrealistic to boycott high street fashion, which provides so many jobs, both in the West in retail and in the East in manufacturing. But there is definitely a lot in educating people about the amount of clothes they buy and use. We buy a lot more than we wear and that creates problems effecting Eastern European and African countries in the form of second hand clothing, which have a negative impact on the local production.
