Tights, Part Deux

When I become obsessed with something I beat it to death... I know this about myself. If you read my last post about tights you know I'm on a mission for cool tights since returning from Japan.

Last night I was getting my hair done and flipping through magazines. I was reading the October issue of Elle and saw the coolest tights on one of the models somewhere towards the back of the magazine. They were sort of a lavender color but had vertical stripes of gold and pink and maybe blue (if I remember correctly)... they sound summery, I know, but they weren't at all. They were more Fall tones of those colors, if that even makes any sense. They were listed at $16.99. Not great but not terrible. I flipped to the back of the magazine to find out where to buy them and recited it over and over to get it in my memory, Emilio Cavallini.

Once I got home I looked up his website and sadly they were nowhere to be found. I have searched online under his name, I have searched Elle's site... I need to grab that magazine so I at-least have a picture of them. (Anyone have it and could snap a picture for me by chance?) I clicked on Customer Service and sent them an email... Hoping for a happy ending, stay tuned!

P.S. I might add you should check out his website as he has some really fun tights and socks!

Leggings!

Leggings and tights have been on my mind a lot lately, what can I say, Japan sparked quite a fun idea of outfits I could put together. As soon as I got home I took a fresh new look at my closet and I hope to pair some of my "old" items together and even try to be a bit more adventurous. Sometimes I am a bit self conscience about fashion choices but not really sure why that is... I am hoping Japan awoke a new fashion spirit inside me, I feel like it did!

So anyways, leggings were a hot item there. If women weren't wearing leggings it was tights. After the vogue fashion show at BFW I was excited to see an array of leggings and tights that I can purchase in my own town. I aso plan to look online for some unique finds. Speaking of online, as I opened my email this afternoon I saw a glorious email from Bluefly with the subject line "LEGGINGS - Our love affair continues..." (I've attached the email image for you as well). PERFECT, I can start there!

Do you have a favorite place to buy leggings or tights? A saleswoman at Nordstrom the other day admitted to me she buys her tights at Forever 21 for $4.99. I must go and check them out as they are a great place for cheap staple items like belts, tops, bags, etc.

I would love to hear from you all on this one, help a girl out!!

Here are a few other finds for leggings: NY & Co., American Apparel, Victoria's Secret, Newport News, Home Shopping Network, Shop Style, Shop Bop, Target, Nordstrom and Macy's. (I could have gone on for awhile here...)
