Jessie J in Bebaroque

I usually avoid Celebrity style posts, but these photos of Jessie J wearing Bebaroque’s roxy tassle tights in Q magazine’s 25th anniversary issue just had to be shared!

I have so much LOVE for Bebaroque tights and one day I might actually own a pair (you know, as if I don’t have enough tights!) I don’t think I could pull off the crazy fringing quite as well as Jessie though.

Available at mytights and ifyouplease if you could own one pair, which would it be? My eye is on the Dolly tights!

My Tights [I wish!]

So, the other day I posted about my bargain House of Holland tights from TK Maxx, (again, £3 for the house print ones, could not refuse!)
I’ve long been a fan of his tights collection with Pretty Polly and one day fully intend to own these pairs (and then some!)

This achingly hip collection for Pretty Polly from Henry Holland – the maestro behind House of Holland – has got the fashion world panting with desire, and we can see why. So rarely is cutting-edge style so comfortable – and affordable! These nationwide sell-out Henry Holland tights have been seen on Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, Fearne Cotton, and Agyness Deyn.

Super Suspender, £12 from mytights.com

Sheer fringe hold ups, £15 from mytights.com … these are SO impractical but at the same time a total must have for me!

Superstar, £15 from mytights.com …these are my favourites, by far. Argh, hurry up pay day, I want the gold version as well…so summery and perfect as I don’t do bare legs. Ever.

Mytights stocks the whole House of Holland range (including a few pairs at half price right now- house print inclusive!) and with delivery only £1.95 it’s quite affordable too!

Oooh someone please tell me NOT to buy any more tights this month. Honestly, my collection has taken over my bedroom (I think I’m in to triple digits now…)

Does anyone have the city collection tights? I really wanted a pair but couldn’t narrow it down at all, and really really couldn’t justify ordering all of them. Hmm….so many tights, so little time (and so few pairs of legs!)

It seems that I, and (according to twitter) many others have been struck by mid-season frustration. It has become that funny no man’s land where all the festive party wear has departed the shops to be replaced by new season wonders and yet a) the weather doesn’t allow us to wear it yet, and b) it is mid January and funds are err, lacking to say the least.

So for now it’s a case of lather, rinse, repeat on old favourites. For me, at least. I am once again mourning the lack of decent (read, non expensive) charity shops in the area. It defeats the point for me, to pay Primark prices for what is indeed Primark, only second hand…even if the money does go to Charity.

I haven’t worn this dress in a while, a Summer Sale New Look purchase, it doesn’t seem to fit the bill for this season, or next. But I like it. And it goes with a multitude of my tights…

Tights, as we know are my saviour!

Monday

Hello, Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend? What did you get up to? We put our tree up on Saturday,
what it lacks in size, it makes up for in pretty-ness!

Yesterday I met up with two of the lovely girls I met over the Summer for a spot of shopping and catching up, that was FUN, especially as I hadn’t seen one of them for three months.

Today I’m again making the most of the slightly warmer temperatures (and central heating!) and wearing what I *want* to. I spied snow on the forecast for the end of the week so I’m making the most of it!

This dress was an absolute steal at £3 in the New Look sale a couple of years ago. I love it…it’s ridiculously comfortable.

I teamed it with possibly my favourite tights ever, courtesy of Tabio (who currently have free UK delivery).

And I’m back on the crazy hair.

It’s going redder this week, I’m excited!

What are your plans for the week ahead? I’m hoping to fit in some long over-due baking, it’s been a fair old while since I did some, and since I shared some recipes around on the blog!

Monday Blues

Hello, Happy Monday and all that jazz…did you have a good weekend?

Winter is well and truly upon us and I’m struggling to find inspiration for outfits that are WARM. Most of my clothes seem to be of the summer variety, I need more knit wear, long sleeve dresses and trousers!

Today I’m wearing a floral shirt dress from H&M a couple of years back, navy tights and the cutest little socks from Tabio for added warmth!

I’m really starting to embrace socks with tights as it means I don’t always have to rely on long boots! I’m not sure it is the most flattering of looks but I’m pretty much past caring.

Oh, and yesterday I think I out did myself on the crazy tights front!

They made me smile all day!

Have a wonderful start to the week! What’s on the agenda?
