What It's All About

I am a woman in my early 20's, on an average salary that disappears on bills, rent, food...GONE! However, I still manage to keep on top of fashion trends; in fact it's a passionate obsession. I pound the high street in heels hunting for the ultimate fashion find. I have fashion magazines glued to my hands, a costly fixation with handbags and a belief that accessories are the base for any outfit...yes; I will plan an entire outfit around a new watch, earrings or ring! So, my reason for starting a blog? I have to share all my top tips and fabulous finds with someone! My boyfriend seems somewhat un-interested in all this. I always have something I want to shout about, so be prepared! Signing off. BB x

Charnos Run-Resist Tights

As you may know I am a Charnos Hosiery Tights Tester. A group of us trial new tights and write about them for their blog. Here is my most recent trial...

So on a date I went...with my man of 7 years...I wore a waisted floaty skirt, a sharp blouse, my ever reliable, make my legs look longer please, black, platform courts and....my new Charnos Run-Resist tights. Normally I avoid wearing sheer tights as I'm a girl all about the accessories and my sparkling jewels shred them before I even get them on. So, trial these you say...oh I'll trial them alright!

Getting ready for my evening of romance I throw all the rules out the window...
I slip on my new tights with no rings, bangles, cuffs removed...hmmm, no snag.
Ok, so "you look nice love" he says, "wearing tights?" As he reaches to stroke my legs. "NO!!" I snap, "don't touch them!" His hands are so rough from all his man work that the slightest touch would ladder them beyond recognition...I would look like I'd foolishly bought LiLo's entire "collection". Remembering the "Charnos Challenge" I allowed him leg access for the rest of the evening, a couple of snags here and there, but no ladders...yet...

In the restaurant, off I popped to the ladies...if they were going to ladder, it would be now...hoisting them back up again..."OH NO!" jewellery caught, massive hole! "That's that, I'll have to take them off".
Checking the mirror, my skirt covered the damage, so I left them and the date continued. I forgot all about the hole (wine may have had something to do with it) until the next day. Remembering, I rushed to check them...no ladder. I rang my mum...she bought some.
