Thick cashmere touch cotton tights in new fashion colors

Okay, so I posted about our Diana cotton/bamboo tights yesterday. But, and this is very last minute, we had such a great response to this product, we decided to make bright colors for fall as well, they will be in stock next week, but you can order them now. We had originally photographed our cotton/bamboo tights in red, but decided to keep it conservative and basic for this fall and did not introduce the bright colors we originally photographed. Now, due to demand for bright colors, we are going all out and making the original colors.

These cotton tights appear to be a medium weight cashmere/wool blend on the legs, .....the reality is that they are an Italian brushed cotton and bamboo blend, completely opaque, semi-fuzzy (is that a term?), ultra soft, ridiculously beautiful quality. They are eco-friendly cotton tights and they will last a very long time as you would expect from such a product (as long as you take care of them, no dryer on high heat).

You probably have not tried cotton tights with bamboo, but you should.

Now available in our cotton tights in bright colors. Click here for cotton tights in bright colors such as scarlet red, royal blue, forest green, navy blue. Click here for the same luxurious cotton tights but in more basic colors, black, espresso brown, charcoal grey, winter white (off white).

Stay warm and fashionable this winter, new colors in our warm cotton tights

So being from the Northeast, staying warm is pretty important to us as we sometimes feel that summer lasts for about a week and a half. That is a slight weather exaggeration, but not so much!

If you haven't tried our Diana cotton tights, which are new this fall, you definitely should! Super warm, not overly thick, and unbelievable quality. But if that isn't enough, let your fashion sense guide you as we have brand new colors available, forest green, a really pretty darker green, winter white and navy blue. That is in addition to our basic colors of midnight black, charcoal grey and espresso brown. Diana cotton tights are a unique combination of cotton yarn, bamboo yarn (don't let that scare you, bamboo is the new fiber everyone is using in everything from luxury sheets to clothing because it is eco-friendly, and it dyes extremely well with beautiful intense color, and it is ultra soft) It truly feels like the softest cotton tights you have ever experienced. Ultra rich in color, toasty warm and they will last for many years with the proper care. Click here for cotton tights info.

She Said It

“I can’t say my 30s were the easiest time. And I had thought my 20s were hard! … You know, that’s the worst mistake a woman can make, to think, Oh, I’m 32 and I’ve had two kids and I’ve worked since I was 16 and now it’s going to get easier. Because as soon as you think that, you’re doomed!
You’re absolutely doomed!”

Dotted Pantyhose, back in style, on the Runway for Fall 09

Glamour steps into spotlight for fall - Washington Times

Shared via AddThis

I remember wearing dotted pantyhose years ago. Wore them to work, out in the evening, loved them. I think I had about a dozen pairs in every color of the rainbow. Actually I remember a pair that was a watermelon-ish color....maybe that wasn't such a good idea fashion wise.....but I digress. We're thrilled they made a roaring return to the world of fashion. This is just further evidence that everything does come back in style. Dotted tights are on the fashion runways again, as seen on the fall 2009 Balenciaga runway show and in London Fashion Week. They were using ultra sheer black pantyhose with small swiss dots and it looked terrific! Also, the Washington Times and the London Times recently published articles about what's hot for fall fashions in legwear. Click on the informative link above to read about hosiery trends. Today we introduced our Clara Swiss dot tights, and they are available in lots of fun colors!

If you want a creative twist on sheer patterned tights, try our new Samantha dotted pantyhose. Click here for details.

Burt Reynolds Prefers An Altered State

Burt Reynolds is seeking treatment in a rehab center for an alleged addiction to painkillers and alcohol, after an accident at his home in Florida last month sparked fears of his mental state.

According to the National Enquirer (ahem), Burt Reynolds, 73, was admitted to hospital on 21 August (09) after he was found semi-conscious and covered in blood following a fall at his waterfront mansion in Hobe Sound.

"The houseman found Burt lying in a pool of blood. He'd fallen and was badly cut. The houseman drove him to the hospital. But this time, Burt was behaving strangely, and doctors were so concerned about his state of mind that they sent him to the county mental health facility in West Palm Beach."

Reynolds agreed to check straight into rehab after medics refused to discharge him unless he sought professional help for his alleged addictions at the nearby Hanley Center.

"He's been increasingly abusing booze and prescription drugs, mainly painkillers. There have been many times recently when he's been completely out of it, and twice in the last few months he's ended up at the ER (emergency room)....Burt wasn't happy about it, but he checked in, went through detox and then joined a regular 30-day rehab program."

Who isn't a model around here..?

I love the 'just walked off the catwalk' model look. These are photos of supermodels after shows at fashion weeks. Their outfits are so simple and casual but they still look amazing and unique.

Supermodels have the same pattern in the way they dress, firstly they either wear dark/black jeans or leggins, with a simple loose top, always black ankle boots, a leather jacket and a black leather bag to carry around anything that will keep them occupied while having their hair and makeup done, and a scarf.

Textured tights and thigh highs are all the rage on the runway

We love Rodarte heavily textured tights. But it's difficult to afford $800+ a pair for these beautiful patterned leg wear gems.

So here's what we decided to make this fall. Beautiful tights that will come pretty darn close to replicating the ultra expensive textured hosiery look you will see around town this fall. We knit most of what you see in the pictures above in Europe, the rest is made in the United States.

Let us know what you think! Your comments are appreciated as always.

Happy Friday!

First day of summer

Photoshoot in Nottinghill, London with my sister for portfolio.

The weather was amazing in London last weekend with temperatures up to 24 degrees, which is hot for England. My sister took some photographs of me around Nottinghill where she lives for a portfolio for me. The dress is from h&m but is a little big for me, shoes from ninewest and borrowed the jacket from my sisters wardrobe. I bought the dress because I really like the cut around the chest although I havn't shown in very well in these pictures, the dress looks best when the top part is more open. Stella McCartney has done some pieces with this lovely cut for her spring/summer 2009 collection, here are some runway photos below.

NEW YEARS

For new years eve I went out in East London to a place called pony step with my sister and some of her friends from CSM, a lot of people who are in the fashion business often party with pony step so I thought it would be a good thing to experience. It wasn't exactly my scene but the place was most certainly filled with interesting people. As well as A LOT of trannys, the theme was 'a white wedding' so I can imagine they enjoyed dressing themselves up as brides! I took a few pictures which I'll post below. I'm sorry but my outfit is actually quite boring because I only found out there was a theme the night before so i just decided to wear black lacy things!

above: the outfit I wore, white tank top from asos, black corset bra urban outfitters, shiny leggings then black lace leggings ontop of them from topshop, black sequin headband from urban outfitters and nine west heels.

Oh and I almost forgot to tell you while I was in London I saw Kate Moss while I was shopping in Portabello road, she obvioulsy didn't want to be seen as it was about 5.30 as which point is was pretty dark and she was wearing sunglasses! As well as Kate I was partying with Gareth Pugh at pony step... he was with his boyfriend most of the night. I should have snapped a few pictures of him but i only got one of his boyfriend, who was wearing a t-shirt saying F**k off! Anyway here are some pictures of his spring 2009 collection.
