103rd Post - November Overview

Finally, here are my recommendations for November, hope you enjoy them and find them interesting to watch, listen and eat. In the meantime, November has a lot to offer especially in London, so head this month and take in all the best new events, exhibitions and best events in the capital. London is a treasure trove of brilliant days out and activities worth boasting about.

How do you look today? You know image is everything. But under those perfect clothes and perfect smiles, everyone has their not-so-perfect secrets. Lucky for me, nothing can stay hidden forever. Whether the truth's in the diary or the Daily News, once it's out it will change everything. Let the chips fall where they may. Along with the husbands and boyfriends.  The French say, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." Sounds romantic. But all it means is the more things change the more they stay the same. Outsiders remain on the outside. At least for now. And the wild cards just keep getting wilder. But even the same characters can start to play new power games. And old stars can cease to shine. What did I say about letting the chips fall where they may?

Doc’n Roll Film Festival

Banging tunes will abound in a music doc feast that starts in London before piling into a metaphorical minibus and heading off on a UK-wide tour. There are films covering everything from the Aussie punk scene to the origins of Detroit techno. Plenty of the capital’s best-loved indie cinemas are hosting screenings, including the Rio in Dalston, the Garden Cinema, the Castle in Homerton and various branches of Picturehouse and Curzon. Look out for the wonderfully mellow ‘Hargrove’ (Nov 6), a vérité doc about jazz trumpet legend Roy Hargrove, and ‘Tramps!’ (Nov 2), a celebration of the glamorous misfits behind the New Romantics movement of ’80s London.

But, if you feel like relaxing this month then put your feet up and enjoy Harper's Bazaar magazine, full of celebrity gossip, style and secrets!! Hope you all enjoy my recommendations and have a great time in November...

See you in December, when I'll be sharing style secrets for Winter, places to go and things to do and buy and get you ready for this Christmas season.
