Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

In primary school I always remember having to rule my own margins in my text books before writing. Even with a ruler I still managed to get the lines a little wonky, a little imperfect, just like these tees.

What is going on? In an era where we have easy access to the time on our phones, our tellies, our ovens, our computers and our hi-fis, why on earth would we need to wear a watch? Because they are so darn pretty, lookie lookie… 1. Starck, 2. IDEA International, 3. Nixon, 4. Starck, 5. Mr Jones Watches, 6. Nooka, 7. Nixon, 8. LIP and 9. Denise Julie Reytan (oh, and one of these things is not like the others, gotta love a jeweller with a sense of humour).

Felt flowers to gasp over, all meticulously hand sewn by Becci who lives in a yellow house in St Louis with a husband, a dog and a cat – two of whom don’t get along. You’ll just have to go visit her Dashing Etc shop and her blog to find out which two (hint: her husband isn’t one of them).

If you, like me, have not only kept your girlish figure but added to it, you will be besotted by Melbourne’s Peta Pledger. She makes garments to gasp over and accessories to boot, in sizes 6 to 20 (oh yay). And if you ask very very nicely, she might even make you a custom dress.

Rightio then. Get out your scissors (no running, mind you), your thread, your needles and pins. The Purl Bee, a wonderful crafty blog from the folks at Purl Soho in the US, have posted this winter white felt flower wreath lesson for us. Sure beats algebra.

If you, like Mitchell & Dent, think there is a distinct lack of chiffon in cocktail dresses of late and worry that a Hervé Léger frock won’t look quite so flattering after your fourth bellini, try Beverly Hill’s Timeless Vixen Vintage. Wonderfully ridiculous silk and tulle and lace concoctions from days of yore when necklines were made for jewellery and skirts were made for dancing.
