Delft Tights from Calzedonia

Growing up my grandmother always had delft pottery around her house. The delicate blue and white flowers always remind me of her. These white floral print tights with blue flowers are very reminiscent of a delft pattern.









This being the first time I have worn them since they really needed to brought out in a spectacular way.








While searching the Internet today, I came across this blog vaguepromisses.blogspot.com, this significantly younger girl then myself in Poland has the same Calzeddonia Blue and White Tights on in her daily blog post. While browsing further on her Blog, I discovered she also has quite the collection of Calzedonia tights.

My Calzedonia Haul!

Last night Nathan got home. After two weeks in all the craziness of Egypt he still found time in his brief stop over in the UK to stop by my favorite store-CALZEDONIA!!

Calzedonia is the Mecca of for any hosiery enthusiast. There collection is always reflective of the styles of the season, for example there spring collection features beautiful floral patterns and strong neutrals. Nathan brought me home 26 pairs of tights, hold ups, leggings, over the knee socks and white jeggings! My spring hosiery collection completed in one visit to Calzedonia not to say I won't be picking up a pair here and there. Calzedoina's are only in Europe, which keeps my legs unique! I have been working on bringing them to the States, but because of some agreement between Calzedonia's parent company and Victoria Secret the women of the USA will have wait until I raise enough money for my store to open. I first visited Calzedonia on a trip to Milan with my sister, ever since then I have visited them in 6 different countries in Europe. There have been seasons were I was unable to get to a Calzedonia in time, they only carry a limited number of pairs in each style at each location. I now have an amazing contact there, so no longer will I have to only admire the beautiful pages of the catalog without being able to make a purchase on this side of the pond!

Since it will most likely take me until spring to get through what I left from my fall purchases, my new collection will have to wait till Spring. There were however a few pairs that Nathan picked up that were from the Fall season so today I am wearing a pair of tights with diamonds in black and grey. They are perfect for a causal Sunday of brunching and grocery shopping. I am wearing them with my denim skirt that I bought at Marks and Spencers and a chunky knit sweater. The boots I bought in Milan on the same trip that I discovered Calzedonia.

Jeggings Part 2

While waiting for my Pajama Jeans to arrive, I decided to wear my other pair of "Jeggings".  These are from Marks and Spencer they are similar to this pair from HUE.  I find them so comfortable which is sort of embarrassing.  Unlike, the others I talked about these don't have pockets or a fly and don't need to be hemmed. I usually wear these on not so nice days or when I have to travel. Today again was a not so nice day. The boots are Sam Edelman. Hopefully this weather will get a little better so I can wear some fun tights!

Jeggings

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I have been sick...ick ick....

Anyway, since we have received yet another 19 inches of snow here in NYC.  I am turning to "Jeggings" as my form of leg wear these next few days.  Jeggings which have derived from the trend of Leggings and too tight skinny jeans. Are all over the place, I personally bought my first pair at Marks and Spencers in London two Christmas ago and at the time thought they were just a temporary gap in the trends of our times. They come in all varieties and all price points. What stated as a heavier knit denim looking legging have evolved into 90% spandex and 10% cotton "jeans".  

Here I am wearing a pair of "Jeggings" from J Crew-These ones have a real waistband, zipper fly and I will need to hem them exactly why I really don't wear jeans to begin with. 


Please check out the Wikipedia definition of Jeggings- Jeggings Definition -and check back tomorow when I review Pajama Jeans...
