Keep those knees warm

I have so many difficulties with tights.... the crotch can be too low or too tight or the legs are too long etc, etc.. But I bought some tights recently (as it was about time I invested in some new ones!) and I was really suprised. A quick last minute purchase for a night out has led me too some great tights!
Try Fred and Florence at Tesco for a pack of 3 Opaque black tights (40 denier) at £3.50. Apparently they have a temperature control finish that keeps you warm when your cold and vice versa. I just thought they felt very smooth, soft with a nice sheen. Not your thick Granny tights! I bought medium but they came in small, large and xtra large.

The 11th Wonder of the world!

Wonderbra have created something every girl has ever dreamed of, at least me anyway.
A bra that can be worn 100 ways. The Multi Plunge Bra has straps that can be moved around the edges of the cups to match any dress you have ever owned! It is now available Nationwide in black for the small cost of £26. Imagine how much use you'll get out of it, lets hope they bring it out in more colours. This will definitely be on my xmas list.

Calling all Fashion Students wanting remnants and samples.

The 90 year old's gone Window Shopping

If you hadn't noticed London is celebrating Vogue's 90th Birthday!

Wow I wish I got this treatment on my birthdays. Take a wander down the London Streets and you will see windows filled with fashion and cake, shoes and birthday messages. What more could a girl want. All they need to do now is light the candles, just not near her party dress! The other night they also had a huge party with everyone in the industry from Mario Testino to new designers.
New designer Roksander Ilincic went along and wore a black dress with a silver puffy hem, she was still deciding which dress right up till the last hour!


Happy Birthday Vogue, I look forward to the 100 year party!
