If you liked the
Nina Dolcetti shoes I wrote about recently, and if you like fashion and cake and amazing houses, you might want to check out Tart, a series of shopping and lounging Saturdays at
David Carter's insanely gorgeous, seventeenth-century, insiders' secret
40 Winks (pictured; it's also a two-bedroom
hotel, described by German Vogue as "the most beautiful small hotel in the world").
The first one is this Saturday, the next on 12 December, and then on into January and February. Cakes from
Vintage Patisserie, hair and makeup from
Lipstick and Curls, clothes from
Vintage Secret, shoes by Nina Dolcetti, who'll also be taking commissions, plus milliners, jewellery, lingerie, massage and cocktails. 25 places available per Saturday, £60 a head, 2-6pm. Call 020 7790 0259 to book a place, or email
reservations@40winks.org. Women only.
(If the dates don't work, 40 Winks also hosts Bedtime Story nights - literary pyjama evenings; call or email for details. A little bird tells me that someone Very, Very Famous has agreed to do one next year; get on the mailing list).
