yellow legs

Good morning and Happy Monday, lets hope it's a better week all round eh?!
The weather is stunning today which I'm taking as a good omen, but only time will tell...

Kicking off the week with this weekend's Strictly results for those of you who are interested:



As always, see the official BBC website for more details!
Who caught Amy Winehouse's god daughter's performance? She is SO talented. Loved it.

Outfit wise I decided to break out one of my many new pairs of tights. One opened, 12 more packs to debut *rolls eyes*...yes, I really do have a problem I think.

(sorry I look so miserable!)

I've also started putting together some gift guides on Cant Help but Be and kicked off today with part one, introducing the delicious sounding Chocolateque so please check it out, there is a link to their website on the post.

And on the subject of gifts, what guides would you like to see? Anyone you need ideas for? Always find your best friend hard to buy for? Let me know and I'll see what I can do in the way of a post.

And love how you use coloured tights.....I'm usually wary of the more out-there colours but you've proven that they look phenom if done right.

Sweet....here's to the other 10 packets haha :D

I find that a splash of yellow in my outfit always manages to lift my spirits. Hope it works the same for you too.

Ahh the injection went ok? and you have to have blood tests a lot!! Sounds painful, I have had about 3/4 in the last two years and they were a real pain -in both senses.

the HPV injection was ok, but my arm is still aching...

Cafe Fashionista said...

I've wanted a pair of yellow tights for ages, but I'm not sure how to style them. Perhaps I should just invest in a pair and cross that bridge once I come to it. :)

Dream Sequins said...

The boots are just lovely with the yellow tights! I'm really awful at buying gifts in general, so I can't wait to see your guides!

I love your boots and tights. What a beautiful outfit!

nicola ticola ponders said...

My mum is RUBBISH to buy for because she's allergic to most cosmetics, doesn't wear perfume, has tooooo much jewellery, is always on a diet (no chocolates) and is way too fussy with clothes. My poor dad usually gets socks or a World War film. Any advice is welcome over here!!
