Last night the lovely team at Dukebox invited the girls and I down for a little pre-launch party.
Just to give you a little bit of history...
Public was my favourite party haunt in the entire world. Better than anywhere New York, Paris, Monaco, Cannes... you name it, Public beat it hands down.
It didn't take itself too seriously, it wasn't fancy pants, it was just cool.
Sadly Public was forced to close its doors a few months ago for being too noisy.
Since then Chelsea's little lost Public kids have been wandering around the West End trying to find a replacement.
Well, wander no more Public fans!
They're back!
But it's called Dukebox.
Same staff, same decor, same music, same crowd, there's even a carousel pony.
It's awesome.
I wore the Lazy Oaf Batman leotard, Topshop skirt, Aldo UK shoes and a Chanel bag (neither of which you can see here, but y'know, I wore them.)
Nailpolish is Topshop's "Bad Habit" which devastatingly they don't sell anymore.
Gabby wore a sea of pearls from ASOS.
Selina's Nasty Gal dress makes my heart go giddy-up.
You know the Mahiki treasure chests?
Well here they come in Humpty Dumpty eggs and are delivered by a team of soldiers.
Obviously.
We had an egg and a toy box which came with the most delicious handmade marshmallows the size of your fist.
They're essentially a mix of spirits, fruit juice and champagne.
Delicious but deadly.
From now on, If you can't find me, look for me at Dukebox.




























Holy crap this looks amazing! I love Mahiki but this looks WAAAYYY better!

ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty clear from her date description that she doesn't have a problem finding men who want her but she's picky.
DeleteI defy anyone not to be 'picky' with that guy!
DeleteBut thankyou Adam, you're far too sweet x
Hi Rosie,

Loving the Leo! I’m waiting for the comic print bodycon to be restocked. I’m convinced that NYC must have a Dukebox equal. Any suggestions?
ReplyDelete-- Lenny
My favourite place in NY is Boom Boom Room x
DeleteRose your blog is just amazing and i'm always checking for updates on your wonderful London life. Unfortunately I don't have the please of living in this great city, but will do one day (fingers crossed) :) One question, how do you find all these quirky places, shops, restaurants? Luck or hours of research? xxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Rose
ReplyDeleteSo you have a GREAT social life and I love all of your blog entries. I wondered....if I wanted you to review a new product/spread the word....how would I go about that, is that something you do? My brother in law is setting up a new social media site that looks like it's going to be amazing, all based around things you like to do and places you like to go, restaurants, clubs, festivals. It's a sharing website so you can find other things you might like based on what you upload.
We're looking for some people with busy social lives and varied interests to review and spread the word.
Any help you can offer me would be great!
Thanks,
A
Your Batman outfit is totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the blonde's white dress too - would you happen to know where it's from?
