Button-Up with Tatty Devine
Regular readers will know of my fervent love for those at Tatty Devine. Right from the early blogger days of Random Fashion Coolness, I championed their plastic wonders (I once accidently blogged a private party invite they sent me too…not noticing the PRIVATE!!!) I didn’t realise how much I used to post about them, think it verged on stalker status! Take a look here and laugh at the first incarnation of my blog!!!! So it will come as no shock that I LOOVVVE their new collection; specifically their frogging pieces. No, they haven’t delved into the realms of Kermit (although a Muppets collaboration would be A-mazing!) but the frog garment fastening. WIKI says it well, “an ornamental braiding for fastening the front of a garment that consists of a button and a loop through which it passes.” As always, Tatty presents a plethora of frog-products – from rings to brooches, to tiered necklaces…you get the idea. My favourite has to be the simple cuff picture above. I will be honest, some of their other new bits aren’t for me – I’m not kitsch enough to pull off the hobby horse brooch. I would look like I had accidently rolled on my niece’s floor and got something stuck to my jumper! But take a look at the range and I’m sure there is something you will like. If you’re in the vicinity of Brick Lane or Soho, pop in to one of their shops; it’s a real treat! It’s like entering a sweet-shop with jewels and it doesn’t feel grown-up at all.
Love the look of your site – are you having fun with it? Keep up the good work and good luck with your site!
