Fashion: What Katie Did nude Retro Seamed Stockings

Hello :) There are many nude seamed stockings out there but not many that are suitable if you are super pale like myself! Luckily I found a pair that are pale enough to match my ghostly skin :P The stockings in question are the What Katie Did 15 denier retro seamed stockings and cost a reasonable £8.50.

Apologies for the crappyness of these pictures.....taking pictures of my own legs is the most difficult thing ever :P

Couldn't take a picture from the back standing up as my arms are too short!!!

Oh hai there badly placed temporary tattoo! Just trying out temporary tattoo's as I want a real one but can't quite decide where to get it....do you think this placement is good?

These stockings are so beautifully made and are perfect quality. I am so so happy with them! I am a big fan of What Katie Did in general as they have such lovely stuff and always post orders super fast :)

I think I have found the perfect nude stocking as they do cover my nasty bruises....well you may still see them...but only if you are really staring hard but nobody will be apart from myself :P 

I can't wait to try the red seamed version! 

What do you think? Do you have bare leg confidence or do you like to wear a nude stocking (or tights) to make your legs look better? :)

Teeny tiny Topshop haul & piercing question

I picked up a few little bits from Topshop earlier this week and wanted to share them with you. I am aware everyone and their gran has the spike ear cuff but I just couldn't resist it :P

Spike ear cuff £7.50

I want to get some more ear piercings done and the right side of my nose re-pierced and was wondering how many of you have any piercings other than your ear lobe? If you do I would love to see a picture of what you have :)

Trasparenze 'sara' stockings in black

Hello :) I wanted to start doing some reviews of stockings and tights as its the one thing I can never find any information on and pictures of when I am searching for details of a product I am thinking of buying and surely I cant be the only one disappointed by this?

I am a HUGE fan of tights and stockings as I hate my legs so much and will never go bare legged! If you want to see just how bad my legs are click ***here*** its not a pretty sight is it?! :/

I have been a fan of stockings and vintage lingerie for years now....they are so pretty :) Nobody wears them better than Dita and the beautiful Morgana

I think the first items I ever bought were a 14 strap suspender belt and some fully fashioned seamed stockings from What Katie Did around five years ago and since then I have been addicted! 

The first pair of stockings I want to review is by the wonderful brand Trasparenze who make the most amazing and unique stockings and tights. Forget Henry Holland for Pretty Polly if you want original mock stocking tights this is the brand you should be looking at!

Anyway, on to the review. I purchased the plain and simple 'Sara' stockings in black for £5.25 from **here** A plain black good quality stocking is something I had been looking for and these seemed like the perfect choice. And here they are:

The outfit:

Obv my skirt is long enough to cover the stocking tops...I certainly don't have the legs or confidence to rock a Taylor Momsen look :P  

My verdict: There is no denying these are a good quality stocking, however, they are just a touch too sheer for my liking. I will only be able to wear these if I am wearing a long dress or skirt so I will probably purchase the Trasparenze 'Sandra' stockings next as they are a higher denier :)

Stockings VS Tights, what do you prefer?

OMG A video?! Whats in my bag/purse

Hello! I recorded this weeks ago now and have been swaying between posting and deleting it as I am horribly self concious as I HATE how I look and sound. 

I wanted to do this video for years now so I decided just to go for it so here I am....in all of my ugly, awkward and rambling glory!

What do you think? Pretty boring eh? Link me to your what's in my bag/purse videos please :)

Vegan friendly version of Jeffrey Campbell’s Lita Boot's

Jeffrey Cambell 'Lita' boots are something you either love or hate. I kind of love them despite the fact they are definitely not the most flattering of footwear for a chubby girl like myself!

Anyway I had been eyeing up these boots for so long and took a particular fancy to the studded ones.

But alas they are leather so they will never be mine as will ANY of the Lita collection until they decide to bring out a non-leather version. Jeffrey Campbell did team up with a brand called 'Convert' to make a vegan range but they are not the nicest of styles....click **here** to see the range.

Anyway after a random ebay search for 'studded platform boots' I managed to find a Lita inspired boot that is NOT leather. Yay! 

They arrived today so I haven't had the chance to wear them yet but I can safely say I am in love as they are alot better quality than I expected:

They are only £32.98 from this ebay seller **clicky**

I can't wait to wear them and will let you know if they are comfortable :)

What do you think? Are you a fan of Lita's?
