London Calling, Katie Answering
Radio silence on Katie Puckrik Smells for the past week has been due to preparations for temporary relocation to London, England. It's a tad contrary for this sybarite sniffer to abandon Los Angeles just when February temps in the 70s have triggered an olfactory paradise of mock orange trees and star jasmine. But duty calls -- duty in this case being nudging a handful of professional prospects into full flower. But let's not be coy -- I'll cite any excuse to justify time in one of my most beloved cities with some of my dearest friends.
I'll be here for three months, and as well as continuing to report on my perfume findings via words and vids, I'll also be launching another blog to cover my style and culture discoveries. Details forthcoming...
Thank you, dear fumies, for being stowaways on this next adventure.

Wonderful! Looking forward to the new blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ines, your anticipation is encouragement!
ReplyDeleteSounds very exciting, can't wait to see and hear about it :)
ReplyDeleteKatie Puckrik + London, England = a perfect match! Perhaps one might be so bold as to suggest you take a sniff at the new Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y.?
ReplyDeleteSabina
Denmark
One may be so bold. I'll pop it on my "to sniff" list.
DeleteYay! I know it was recently launched in the UK and won't be available in the US until September or thereabouts and I guess it'll be even longer before it hits the shelves in Denmark. Therefor, I thank thee, Puckrik, for the oppertunity to smell vicariously through you.
DeleteONE OF US ..... ONE OF US .....
ReplyDeleteYeah!
DeleteI would love to live in London for any period of time. Good luck in your new adventures and we will be eagerly awaiting your reports!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to have longer than my usual 2 week splash downs here.
DeleteHow exciting! I'm looking forward to the new blog too.
ReplyDeleteI just need to brighten up from my jet lag in order to get a few posts on it first...
DeleteKatie , so nice to see you will be over ere a while :) Maybe we might bump into one another on a fume finding expo
ReplyDelete- Pete
If you see me wandering the perfume aisles and boutiques, be sure to say hi...
DeleteIf you are going on a smellathon in the west end area, make sure you go to the Parfums de Nicolai shop if you have never been: it's on the Brompton Road, handily placed between l'artisan parfumeur and the chanel boutique. It's my favourite perfume shop by far.
ReplyDeletey'know, I haven't been there yet - good tip.
Deletehey Katie..Miss Mirabelle and I wish you safe travels to one of our favorite cities. xo Michael and Mirabelle
ReplyDeleteThanks and arf.

DeleteLondon is someplace I've always wanted to visit, so I will be living through you vicariously on the new blog (so don't do anything that I wouldn't do....;-)).
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your travels and have a safe trip. Oh, and thanks a again for the Burberry under eye Sheer Concealer tip....it works like a dream and I actually look human again.
Marko! I've been wondering how you fared with that concealer - so glad it did the trick.
DeleteKatie, have lots of fun in London and all your fumies will look forward to your adventures!!

ReplyDeleteHappy trails and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your explorations.
Hope the climate shock was not too great and that you are prepared for all our weathers (in one weekend, even!)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will feel right at home in your old stomping grounds. : - )
Feeling very satisfied that for once I'm sartorially and aesthetically and thermally matched with London.
DeleteHow nobby, how neat!
ReplyDeleteSoS
