I saw Kylie!

The pint-sized princess was filming her new music video in Soho. She looked great!

Living & Giving

We went along to the Shop Style event at Mary Portas’ Living and Giving shop in Westbourne Grove last night. It was great fun, the clothes were gorge and stylist Mrs Jones (she of Kylie catsuit fame) was on hand to offer style advice.

Tara fancied some ASOS dresses and I was after a Peter Jensen blouse (must pop back and get that, actually). I always love it when charity fundraising is creative and imaginative. I’m sure the event raised lots of money for Save the Children.

Our hankies featured in the goody bags!

If you love a designer bargain (who doesn’t?) then pop along to a Living and Giving shop – they’re brill. You’ll find one in Edinburgh, Parson’s Green, Primrose Hill, Westbourne Grove and Barnes.

Decisions, decisions

Atishoo or two!

Our new friend Brenda has been collecting souvenir and commemorative handkerchiefs for the past fifty years. She has hankies of Coronations, Jubilees, Liberty prints, Festivals, others bearing in-flight menus, regimental badges, etc. There are now more than 4,000 in her collection, from all over the world. She has been interviewed

on television and radio about them several times and regularly writes articles and give presentations about all things hanky. Brenda spotted our hankies in the Sunday Times Style Magazine a while back and got in touch with us. She said she had several powder puff, rouge and

lipstick design hankies from the 1930’s but that she thought very few unusual hankies were produced these days. If you’re in the area, Brenda will be putting on a large display of her hankies at the South of England Showground, Ardingly this July.  

We sent her some of ours for her collection!

Brenda holds the Helpful Hankies we sent her

meeting Mary, queen of shops!

A few weeks ago we went to Mary's launch of her new shoe range in Clarkes on Oxford Street. After a few cocktails she arrived and B grabbed my hand and said "come on we are meeting her!" We introduced ourselves as the Moi girls, gave her the "Go and buy some shoes" Helpful Hanky (so appropriate) and said we were excited to be stocked in her shop. She was really lovely. She loved that our hankies are made in the UK as she is a big supporter of UK manufacturing. Go Mary!! x

Helpful Hankies hit John Lewis!

John Lewis is stocking two styles of Helpful Hankies, "Thinking of you sweetie" and "Fix your mascara, you're amazing!" B and I went tonight to have a look. They can be found in Fashion Accessories near a few other hankies and clutch bags and also on the tills in that area. We really hope they are a hit! They are trialling them in Oxford Circus, Peter Jones Sloane Square, Edinburgh, Bluewater and Cheadle! Get down to John Lewis and buy one for yourself!

Love Tara
