The Saints Go Marching Out...

I nipped out earlier to get some squidgy skull sweeties and was quite taken aback by the sheer speed of  which Christmas is now replacing Halloween in the aisles. 

I thought that maybe they'd have a wee sale on all the Halloween stuff for a week or so; this is what they usually do for Easter and Christmas but I was wrong. 

Gone were the plastic spiders, coffin shaped trick or treat buckets and skull goblets & in their place a metallic rainbow of tinsel, blingy baubles and Santa ornaments that look as if they were painted by someone with a bad case of the DTs.

I'm still very much in a Halloween kind of mood, it is All Saints' Eve over in Sweden today (which also happens to be my beloved mother's birthday) and All Saint's Day on Saturday, so I'm sticking with the darkly delicious gothness for a bit longer, Christmas kitsch can wait!

Vintage 70s Kati by Laura Phillips lace dress, 90s velvet platform boots, scarlet harlot wiggy-woo & Dear Darkness  headdress.

I bagged the above frock about a year ago from a vintage dealer friend. 

It would be perfect for a gothic bride, it's stunning!

I have a few vintage Kati by Laura Phillips frocks and the other day I happened upon the green twin of the one below on eBay...

I really can't justify (nor afford) spending almost £100 on a dress right now, so I'll just have to make do with my red one for now.

I do actually have a pair of Kati dress twins already, 

so I guess I shouldn't bemoan things too much...

I scored both of these on eBay last year :)

I've banned myself from buying anything on eBay for a bit cause I'm trying to save the pennies for our rescue diver course in spring.

It's only hard cause I still torment myself browsing by for frocks on eBay every now and again.

Whilst on the subject of browsing fabulous stuff on the net, I'm gearing up for another store update this weekend...

any sequin sluts out there will wet their panties in delight, just saying!

I'll keep you's posted :)

Have a fabulous Friday!

Lot's of love,

Can I have some more...Tights Please!

Last week I got an e-mail from a lovely lass called Bernadette who works for a company called Tights Please, an on-line specialist retailer of, you guessed it, tights.

In the e-mail I was asked if I'd like to participate in a review feature; they would supply me with a couple of samples and all I had to do was to style them.

After drooling over the veritable feast of hosiery on the site, I decided that I'd be a mug not to jump on Bernadette's offer.

Not only do I get to try out some spanky new tights but I also get to go mad in the the boudoir, styling up a storm, in other words a pretty perfect way to spend an afternoon!

I was sent two fabulous pairs of tights by Red or Dead...

The tights are called Pammy & Peggy. 

Glorious Gussets indeed, they are silky smooth, gorgeously patterned & super comfy to wear.  

I couldn't wait to get styling!

First I amassed a towering pile of clobber that I thought they would look good with and then I got down to business...

Pammy tights teamed with a 90s micro mini dress,  Dear Darkness headdress & Demonia heels.

Pammy tights teamed with vintage 50s sequin top, sequin beret, arm-warmers, hot-pants, Demonia heels & tulle skirt by Max & Co.

Right: 90 leather shorts by Sisley + same as above.

Pammy tights teamed with 90s deadstock Harris tweed shorts by Jigsaw + same as above.

Peggy tights teamed with 90s Betsey Johnson polka dot dress, Demonia heels & Dear Darkness headdress.

Peggy tights teamed with vintage 50s revamped lace dress + same as above.

Right: 90s floral lace dress & hot-pants + same as above.

Left: Peggy tights teamed with a 90s Versace copycat safety pin dress by Bernshaw & 90s mega platform boots.
Rights: 80s mini dress with ribbon embroidery + same as before.

Peggy tights teamed with 90s deadstock Harris tweed shorts by Jigsaw, Demonia heels, Dearest Darkness headdress & eagle/rose print skinny Tee.

Peggy tights teamed with 90s leather shorts by Sisley and a magnificent 70s sequin disco diva jumper + same as above.

I could have gone on and on with styling these but unfortunately my afternoon came to an end.

They definitely look the bees-knees when paired together with hot-pants, cut-offs, shorts, micro dresses or mini skirts and a pair of towering heels, for best effect.

They have more YOWZA than you can shake a stick at, so perfect for the upcoming party season.

If you want a pair of Pammy or Peggy tights yourself, then why not pop over to the Tights Please website, they offer free UK delivery & they've also got some ace Henry Holland tights up for grabs in their sale section a the moment, not to mention a totally awesome array of leggings.

I'd like to thank  Tights Please & especially Bernadette for giving me the opportunity to do this product review/styling feature, it's been fun!

I hope you guys have enjoyed it too :)

Lot's of love,

Jennie
