Now, me being me, I immediatley homed in on the hoisery selection. I was sent two pairs of tights which will be featured and reviewed on the blog as soon as the weather warms up enough to wear outfits that don’t require multiple pairs of tights..but for now, here are my other favourites.

These stockings remind me of tights I saw heading down the runways, and at £8 are a more budget friendly option!

Always on the lookout for something quirky, the “Jester” tights are a bargain at £3.99, a vast saving on those available at places such as American Apparel, whom I can never afford

And these lace ankle socks (£4) are just too cute to resist!

I also fell in love with some of the lingerie available, but (call me prude) I didn’t really want to publish my under garmet choices on my blog!

Delivery is free for UK residents when you spend £35 or more,

and

between NOW and the end of 2010, use the code DAISY to recieve 10% off your order.

So, get shopping and stay tuned for my review of the tights I recieved.

Outfit post tomorrow
and as I’m nearing my 100th post since moving my blog here, and have just reached 200 followers, you can expect a giveaway of sorts soon.

Brights

23rd October 2009

In contrast to my last two outfits which were distinctly grey, both yesterday and today I have opted for splashes of bright colours, mainly in the form of tights.
I was thinking back to when I first bought a pair of coloured tights; perhaps two years ago?
Anyway, I was so terrified of wearing them and drawing attention to myself, but now, I just don’t care.

Yesterday involved coffee and wanderings with Mum, and getting soaked by a torrential downpour.
I am SO over this weather.

Today I have a quiet day planned, and a major urge to de-clutter my bedroom, which is very unlike me. But still, I can do that and catch up with the Masterchef final at the same time.

Apologies for the super lame poses, anyone else find it REALLY hard to know how to stand when taking photos?

I believe I have a quiet weekend ahead too, same as always in Laura land. But I don’t mind, quiet is good and with Strictly and X-factor on TV, I’m quite happy to be lazy, staying warm and dry.

What do your weekend plans involve?

Other than TV, I work tomorrow morning, and then perhaps I’ll do a bit more Christmas shopping, or some crafts.

Not much else to say for myself today,
other than many thanks for the amazing feedback I’ve been getting lately.
I’m nearing 100 followers now, so fingers crossed I’ll do some kind of giveaway to mark the occasion, as I am yet to do one since moving blogs.

Please don’t forget to check out my sale here to kickstart your holiday shopping, or spoil yourselves!

And the latest post on Cant Help but Be, with a gift guide post coming later this week.

Have a great day!

Yesterday I wore another new pair of tights; green. I got a few odd looks when I popped out with Mum, but whatever. I can’t help my addiction! Dad was away overnight and Mum worked till 7, so I spent my afternoon being a domestic goddess and baked hobnob biscuits (that Mum has taken to work with her today!)

Today is the third anniversary of a dear friend’s death, and I’m not really sure what to do with myself. It is still so early in the day (10am, and I woke at 5) so vegging back in bed with my book might help.
Colour in my outfit didn’t feel right, so I went with B&W whilst remaining comfortable

(see what I mean about stalker cat?!)

I’ll be posting up some new jewellery at the weekend, might help you get kick started with some Christmas shopping…

Anyway,
have a great day, whatever you do. Be happy. Be safe.

strictly’s question of the week

01st October 2009

www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing visit the website for more info

I also wanted to add,
thank you very much, all of you for the thoughts and well wishes about Ron, the guinea pig.
He passed away last night/this morning, and yes, I am incredibly upset, but there is relief too, after seeing him suffering yesterday (oddly, he went downhill after visitng the vet, I think the car journey stressed him out).

I’ll answer at least some of the questions you lot asked tomorrow, I may have to split it in two post!

You also might be interested to know that after sorting through my tights drawer, I have 25 pairs of tights, plus the three pairs I picked up today in Primark (50p each, I couldn’t refuse!)
