My Little Bro is Getting Hitched

Today my little bro is getting hitched and to mark the occasion I am publishing an actual post. Unless  my lo tech, small brain, unresponsive fingers do something to sabotage this.

I have bought/planned to wear these Oroblu tights today if it’s not hot. The climate at the moment is so unpredictable that it could be temperatures into the high 20’s or rain and sleet in the low double figures. GP soon to be GT is into pink and all that stuff so as a tribute I got these beautiful floral tights to look girly. Also I am very pleased to announce what a clever girl I’ve been because I have bought two pairs just in case I ladder a pair. Hopefully that won’t happen and it’ll turn out to be a perfect dressing up session.

Wish me luck and have a brilliant day little bro!!

Big reveal!!! What I chose from StopandStare

Big reveal!!! What I chose from StopandStare with my runner up prize.

Ta dah!

The cherry blossom design. I really like their designs, and I like the soft feel of their tights. I chose the cherry blossom because I love the way it’s a two leg asymmetric pattern that creates a singular picture on each leg but becomes a whole bigger scene when put together. Beautiful!

A season of nude.

I have prepared a season of nude hosiery. With lighter weeeks and warmer days, black tights weren’t for me so for a few days before the humidity caught me I wore some natural coloured tights.

So here’s the first. Le Bourget tattoo tights. This pair I wore last year , a design of butterflies all the way from France, check out my link, I wrote a good review ! 😉

Human made crane

Look at the beauty of these Humanmade crane tights, called Ballerina. They are so so pretty. I was given them as a birthday present and was waiting for a good day to wear them. My original post was just all about the packaging. They come in a envelope wrapped in textured paper. They look so great you don’t want to touch them.

They are thick lycra hosiery and the design is just delightful. Wearing them with a plain dress makes them the centrepiece of my outfit.

Fluttering up from France

My butterfly tattoo tights came fluttering up from France from new friends Collants.fr

an online shop selling hosiery. The tights by Le Bourget called Papillon were a good fit. Very comfortable with a wide, soft waistband. They felt smooth and silky, a sign of a good sheer and they didn’t fall down. The tattoo design of butterflies    was clear and sat very nicely on the leg. The fun thing about tattoo tights is that they do make people think you have a massive tattoo on your leg so I can tell why this type of hosiery is quickly becoming the big thing for this year. I don’t usually wear toeless shoes with tights but because the cover art model was wearing them I thought I should too. They worked with this hosiery especially with their invisible toes. Added to that the nude colour of the tights gave an extremely summery look to my outfit.

The tights are described as an ankle pattern, I’ve just noticed mine turns out to be a whole leg pattern!

I worry about buying from overseas, but with collants.fr I didn’t need to be. Communication was great and I was given a consignment number so I could track my package. My parcel came neatly wrapped up with some promo stuff and a net wash bag. Very handy! Christine is very helpful and has a vast range of products which when the Autumn winds start to blow I will certainly have a more detailed look at.

Overall, a good experience from both ends. The service of collants.fr was great and as always exciting, I love getting packages, and the tights were excellent. Great feel, great look, great design.
