Pretty (not prissy) Pintucks


Embroidered pintuck dress, by Free People. This cute dress is available in four colors. You would be surprised by how hard it is to find clothing with pintuck details on them. Searching online for this design element takes ages.

Handmade Gothic Gauntlets, Bracers, and Wrist Cuffs

Adorning the wrist is a very feminine act of expression. When you wear something handmade, and of this nature, you will be portraying the somewhat lost style, in my opinion, of romanticism. For those that want to dabble in exciting new accessories, or experiment with a different trend, these gauntlets and bracers would be a perfect first choice.

Knitwear and Yarn Sales in Time for Valentine's Day

It is very amusing that retail companies use holidays, such as Valentine's Day, to make a quick buck. I guess that is just business...and business is good with these nice sales.


...i love this model's hair and makeup...

Vila Chunky Knit Poncho at ASOS. (This item is listed as a "crochet knit." It is obviously knitted ;). In addition, it cannot be knitted and crocheted at the same time. I thought that was sort of funny. It is still adorable, and I would wear it in a heartbeat. It is not on sale, but it is only 34.50 GBP)

Ankar is having a 20% off sale on select sweaters. Surprise your loved one with the gift of luxury.

"The concept of knitting in design brings the designer, and the wearer, back to the basics of garment construction and production. It enables us to dig deeper into our creative ways of thinking, thus creating better, more interesting works."
"I remember receiving a children's fashion designer kit from my grandparents, on my father's side, when I was about seven years old, which I loved. This small token of love helped harness my passion as a young girl. This is what started and sparked my first curiosities in the needle arts and craft."
