Tight!

As I have mentioned quite a bit already, it is Winter, and I am cold! In particular, my feet! They are frozen solid almost all the time! What is the quick solution? Tights! Stockings! Pantyhose!





















Nowadays we're pretty lucky, and have a HUGE variety in what kind of tights we can buy! Once upon a time, it was black, white, or nude. Now there is every colour under the sun, as well as super exciting patterns! The tights are definitely facing a revival, and it's so enjoyable! They go with every kind of shoe imaginable! You can even choose footless! There is so much choice, it's brilliant!

I decided to investigate and review three major online tights shops. Here you go!

http://www.mytights.com/

This site is there for all of your essentials. It features several coloured tights, but not really any patterned ones. There's also quite a lot of textured tights which are always good and exciting! The site is incredibly easy to navigate, and prices generally range from about 6 euro to 10 euro, which is reasonable! It would probably work best if you lived in Europe though, as otherwise, postage really adds up!

Once again, this site is super easy to navigate! I found this site to mostly just have nude or black tights. There is a small range of coloured ones. The prices range from about 4 pounds to 15 pounds. Once again, pricey for those who aren't in Europe! Best wait for a good exchange rate!

I adore this site! There is an amazingly broad range of colours, it's fantastic! There are even tie dye tights which are available! I would definitely make this my top reccomendation! :)

And finally, Aggyness Deyn. A post about tights would be incomplete if she was left out of it!

Picks!

I am loving the revival of over the knee socks!

No longer are knee highs for the dowdy world of school uniforms! Wear them, roast up your legs during the Winter, and look fantastic! (Plus, you can stop shaving your legs for a while, and no one will notice!)

And since I'm in such a wonderfully Wintery mood I thought I'd show another of my loves:












It's beautiful! I am such a ridiculously large fan of leopard print! I have a silk leopard scarf, and I wear it constantly! However, temperature levels are spiraling down in wee old NZ, and silk isn't keeping my neck happy! I'm saving up for this pashmina baby, I love it!
I have also rekindled my love for necklaces. God knows why, but lately I seem to have stripped myself from all my jewelry minus one ring. I have these three beautiful picks from ModCloth. (Gosh, I should be their spokesperson or something! I constantly mention them! Maybe I should make a ModCloth sandwich board or something and parade around with a big bell! We'll see!)














And just while we're on the subject of ModCloth, I adore these:



























$69.99 of pure beauty!

And as my final pick of the day, I adore this cute little crochet necklace from Lady Luck Rules OK

There are also cute little fruit ones as well! <3
And that's it for the day! If there are any items of prettiness which you're aware of, let me know! Mwah!

Grand opening!

Finally! After much um-ing and ah-ing, I have finally opened this wee site! Fabulous! Quite frankly I'm here primarily for fashion related reasons.

To get things off to a great start, lets start with one of my favourite style icons.

Move over, Sienna, Keira is the new queen of casual. Especially when it comes to winter fashion! Ms. Knightley is rarely seen without a trench or a beanie, but she rocks them so well that we can forgive her.
If you want to try out the Keira look just remember to keep it chunky! Think scarves, layers, cardigans, boots, black tights under dresses, and coats, coats, coats!

These are some great buys which I think Keira herself would love:

And never forget ol' faithful, E-BAY! ;)
Do you have any clothes you think Keira herself would love? Comment comment comment!
