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!!

Leg Warmers, I’m making them hip for next season

Leg Warmers, I’m making them hip for next season. I’ve always been ahead of the style curve, so hip that no one really notices that the trends of today, I was seeking or wearing a few years ago. Maybe that should possibly push me into the eccentric world rather the trendsetter circle. Hmmm!

Sooo, what’s with the leg warmers? Have I taken up fitness… no. Have I become obsessed with nostalgia and started to binge watch old series of Fame… no, even though I do fly! Do I have a friend as mad as me who challenged me to knit my own but then went out to get me some to make me feel better… yes!!! Like me she’s a girl with the same trendsetter (eccentric) style, and bought me bright, wacky, stripey designs. So everyday I got a special package in the post. Now I will be the brightest patient on the chemo ward! Thank you to my lovely, good friend Maz!!!

Star Gazing

We went on a star gazing outing last night to try to capture the stars. Luckily I have in my possession a asteroid seamed pair of tights.

From Hose. , my cactus tights are from them too. They are a 100 denier hosiery, extremely soft to the touch. What I like about this brand are the colours the tights come in and the intricate designs.

Trasparenze Show

Do you remember these Trasparenze Show tights? Well if you don’t here they are.  A beautiful pair of hosiery that just finishes off an outfit. The flowers are gorgeous and you do feel that bit more special when you wear them.

Halfway through the day,  I realised I hadn’t photographed the feet so please excuse their hairiness.This is what happens when you decide to have the most hirsute canine in the world.

 These pictures might be very similar to the original post but I have to show you all views to completely admire these to the full.

Rare warmer day

On a rare warmer day I wore these gorgeous Le Bourget LDC hold ups. They are a silky sheer stocking with a wide red and black lace stocking top. Good hold, very comfortable and very pretty. I wore Le Bourget hosiery before with a pair of tattoo print from collants.fr and was impressed by the feel and the comfort of this brand. I can assure you it’s a quality that is consistent with their products.

Hope the carousel pictures aren’t too blurry.

Stripey red socks

I’m off work this week so I don’t have to look smart so I look silly instead with these stripey red socks. Hey it is the extended Halloween season. They kept me warm and I kinda looked groovy too. Just one problem with socks, they fall down and need pulling up. Especially when I walk the dog but I do pull them over my knees because of my short legs. It’s for that extra cosiness.

Show time Trasparenze!

You must read this to see more pictures of these Show time Trasparenze tights.

Spring has sprung and the warmer weather will eventually follow and because I’ve stopped adding to my collection I’ve got some really pretty items left to wear before this hosiery season is over.

Starting with this wonderful pair by Trasparenze, called “Show”. These were are very comfortable wear. Warm and cosy for this still cold day but with hidden features that delighted me.

The pattern is a coloured floral back pattern of red roses

with the vine starting at the garter detail, you can just see it at the top of the main picture. Leading you to the garter, this is in a totally contrasting colour with a bow at the front.

Finally, always a sign that they’re proud of their product, and they sure are, waistband details! This has their name included and for added flair, bows, roses and matching detail to garter.

Be noticed with these Colourful Zigzags

Be noticed with these colourful zigzags from I think House of Holland. A base colour of navy blue with alternating zigzags in primary colours red, yellow and blue. I certainly wouldn’t be missed! An older pair from my pre blog collection with added holes,

which with a few hours shopping turned into this,

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day, when it gets here on Sunday. Back to the traditional sexy, impress your other half garb today with these Ballerina brand hold ups bought from a wonderful shop called mystockings, please have a look at their things, I haven’t lately because it would mean adding to my hosiery mountain.

So Ballerina Noir Touch collection Art number 189 “Stunning black hold ups with faux suspender design. Delicate detailing around the top and down the side of the leg in red and black, giving the illusion of a zip running the full length of the leg.” As described by mystockings, don’t they sound luscious!

I have had a bit of a hosiery malfucntion today with this particular pair losing stickiness and falling down. Not sure if that was because of fluff or because of my short legs (I’m sure the mock suspender look isn’t supposed to start at the knee area) and therefore positioning of the holdup. They’re of a higher denier so possibly weight pulling them down?

Ballerina hosiery is part of one of my ongoing research projects to test the freezing theory. I’ve managed to have them in the freezer for an hour before wear for these. So far I’ve not laddered or holed these frozen tights but it might be because I’m handling with care.

Valentines Week

Valentines Week for hoseoffun is going to feel a bit early because the day itself is Sunday and I’m not at work on Friday. Bought all of these a few weeks ago in preparation for the big day and got messeages of delivery times of 15th Feb. Not promising for my theme week but I’ve been lucky and they have all come in time, phew! Bought via Amazon, these hearts go all the way down the leg on the back.
