Time for Tweed



Its time for me to ditch the black opaque tights and spend that little bit more on hosiery.  I admit, I've been a lazy shopper for a while just grabbing tights while doing the supermarket shop.  While I've saved some pennies, I've worn products that comprised on quality and comfort.  I'm giving my legs a break and saying no more to scratchy, bland tights.  Since the lovely people at Veneziana have sent me some of their products to try out, I've had a re-think on quality over quantity and I've set myself an early New Year's resolution to make more of an investment in the products I want to wear.

The Tweed tights are really cute, grey with little dotted flecks of colour, they're perfect for Autumn. I dug out some T-bar shoes I've had for a couple of years to wear with them.  I wish there was a way I could re-create the texture and feel of the tights for you via the photos, they were so soft and lovely to wear.  I've fallen in love with these 60 denier tights, I'm simply dotty about them.

can you spot the dots?

Love these tights, they're really unusual.
I had these shoes in red, loved them!
Thanks for popping over to my blog and commenting. At the moment I'm taking part in Blog Every Day in November - http://www.rosalilium.com/2013/10/blog-every-day-in-november/
so deciding what to post is easy! I've found it's given me lots of ideas for future posts too. Other than that I just blog about what I feel like. Sometimes I only do a few posts in a month and sometimes it's more. I just try not to put any pressure on myself to do it but sometimes I just have to sit myself down and say 'right, blog!'.

Brassed Off (1996)- Danny's speech

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
