My First Blog (and something about stockings!)
There is something extremely delicious and delightful about writing your first blog, especially when it’s about something you love, are passionate about and want to share with the world.
So this is it. I’m a personal stylist. I want to help women look and feel good about how they dress. I want to help them feel on top of their game, not by dressing them in the latest trend that appears in every magazine out there but by helping them create their own individual style that says something about them.
If you can give away a little bit about yourself through your clothes, people will remember you for who you are.
So, enough about my mission in life: here comes the blog:
Useful/handy/fun tips and advice on clothes/fashion which you can then adapt to your own personal style.
FIRST TOPIC: Stock up on your Stockings!!!
It’s October, and let’s be honest, it’s time to cover up those pins of yours. Anyone who was lucky enough to get some sort of a tan over the summer will quickly realise that, you can moisturise all you like, but the reality is, those legs are no longer fit for being bare. Goose bumps are not exactly a great look, are they?
SO, you’re thinking about transitioning slowly (and reluctantly) into your winter wardrobe, wondering what you’re going to wear as the days get colder …but one thing that you can already get out of the way (while you’re thinking about your new woolies) is stockings. Because, most of us ladies (if not all!), will show off our legs at some point this winter!
Unless you are already a fan of Hosiery (love that word), then let me tell you: there is a whole world out there that can provide you with the most incredible tights, stockings and leg-wear, that will make your legs look great, no matter what size, shape, length they are. Whatever, the occasion, whether you’re wearing a skirt suit, a jumper dress, a LBD, a party dress, shorts or cropped trousers, don’t be afraid to be adventurous with tights. Try and stay clear from your black opaque ones and experiment by injecting a bit of colour into your outfits. This season you will find beautiful gem coloured tights (from deep purples and blues to bright pinks, reds) and wonderful patterns to suit all tastes. It’s the perfect solution to completing an outfit, whether you’re looking for something quirky, sexy or simply elegant.
Now, I have to say, Marks & Spencers, despite what some of you might think about this wonderfully English high street store, has an incredible range of tights that are not only affordable but of very good quality too! So I would definitely recommend starting by ordering a few of their colourful tights online at http://www.marksandspencer.com/Socks-Hosiery-Womenswear/b/43287030
Or check out www.figleaves.com where you will find some of the best, most reliable brands out there (from Falke, to Spanx, to Pretty Polly).
You can also try www.mytights.co.uk where you’ll find pretty much anything to suit any of your needs.
And finally, if you are paying a trip to Topshop, do stop by their tights collection (it’s fantastic).
Voila, this was my first blog. I hope you enjoyed it…I will be back for more so stay tuned.
