21,5.11 BEVERLY HILLS

Well I’m still here!! It was meant to be doomsday the end of the world but lucky for all of us it didn’t happen

Breakfast in the courtyard then I head off to Melrose st go to Fred Segue shop and have a wander still the best shopping is Robertson St.

I walk and walk and go to Beverly centre to get the girls some little shoes I saw there then hop into a taxis and go to the ivy for lunch

Kerrie had suggested this place and not sure if it is owned by the same people as the one in London.

It is very different from London

Table and chairs outside and umbrellas with bright bougainvillea cascading, fabulous music playing. Vases of bold old-fashioned roses and mint in glass jugs or silver teapots. Pine dressers filled with plates jugs vases. Bowls of green apples. Bonquettes with brightly striped cushions it is so colorful and happy.

Lunch is delicious so enjoy my time there, then head up the street to Kitson this fab shop I had been too a couple of days ago.

Here I pick up some more fab gifts. I ask the girl about the shop and said this guy set it up and then all the stars started coming there! Go have a look at the celebrity board!!

Well couldn’t believe as I thought this shop and the other shops are fab and so do the stars. Well Paris Hilton shops here, Victoria Beckham, the Kardashiands, the list goes on!!

Now head back to the hotel for a cocktail and soup, and then hit the sack

One thing I love about the hotel is the discreetness, I do see security with microphones in their ears wandering around, the maids in black with white aprons don’t have trolleys they take the vacuum and the sheets individually to each room and clean.

The hotel has had 100 million facelift so wonder it is so beautifully fresh but in the old world charm.

A funny thing with  newspapers here is that they are all black and white and they are half the length size of the Australian, the print is small and it looks so old fashioned! No colour photos either!

Ah America!!!
