Sometimes an unexpectedly lovely day appears in the midst of my week’s workload.

Today’s lovely day included my lunch invite to one of my favourite Italian restaurants, Cecconis, where I joined the charming Oliver Corlette – MD of Porto Montenegro, who was hosting the lunch party with Natalie Lewis of the PR Co. The lunch was to meet the small group of cool Boutique brands who will be taking their fashions and accessories to Montenegro this Summer in the guise of pop-up shops to to add some Notting hill Gate “cool” to the existing current retailers. Fashion brands will consist of London based swimwear designer Heidi Klein, Dublin designer Zo? Jordan’s fashion brand Irwin & Jordan, London concept store Wolf & Badger and Florentine Jewellery designer Carolina Bucci.

Porto Montenegro is a luxury superyacht marina development in Tivat, Montenegro. The project’s plan includes a state-of-the-art 630-berth marina with 130 berths for superyachts, luxury apartments, hotels, spas, casino, shopping areas and restaurants. The project is the vision of a group of international investors, led by Peter Munk of Toronto, Canada, founder and chairman of Barrick Gold, the world’s largest gold producer

After hearing all about this exciting new holiday destination over a delicious lunch and great company, I cant wait to go and see the new Marina for myself. Having visited Montenegro and Steti Stefan 5 years ago, I’m sure it was very different to how it is now.

Will keep you posted on this blog with pix when I get there……looking forward…….
