I haven’t a clue whether Celeste Stein tights are a huge brand in America and perhaps I’m just a silly British numpty who has not been aware at all. Perhaps bloggers have gone loopy for them and I didn’t know. Perhaps Celeste Stein makes people go ‘Urgh how tremendously tacky…’ and I still didn’t know. Then again, that all doesn’t matter a jot to me seeing as the important thing is that I’ve found a new source of quirky hoisery and we all know how much that pleases me! The sheer number of prints that Celeste Stein has available is just mind boggling in the truest sense of the world. Who knew someone was running a company in Texas making over 1,000 prints available to be printed on your choice of opaque tights, sheer tights, fishnets, thigh highs and nylon socks? Ok, maybe you all knew but I didn’t so you’ll just have to bear with me raving about them.
So not all the prints are going to be to everyone’s tastes but surely one or two will catch your eye from a choice of 1000 in all sorts of colours and categorised into different pattern groups such as floral, paisley, dots, lace, denim, plaid, camo and animal print. I may be preaching to a ‘block colour opaque tights’ only crowd but I’ll take the risk of saying that I’m straight off the bat, loving the array of floral prints they have…..
Tripods are a must for anyone who loves photography and no one does it better than Gitzo. To celebrate 90 years of making the best tripods money can buy, Gitzo is releasing the 90th Anniversary Traveler Titanium based on their popular Traveler tripod.
I love. love, love boots! The problem with me is that they’re kind of pricey and I have no where to wear them. My husband has even put me on a shoe buying freeze because I have so many. Even though I’m not buying, it doesn’t hurt to look, right? Here are three awesome boot buys.

Do you have a certain shade of lipstick that makes you feel extra-pretty? My latest feel-good shade is Victoria’s Secret Perfect Lipstick in Sweet Release.
This bright berry-pink glides on silky and smooth. The slight shimmer adds pouty dimension. A couple swipes of this very pigmented lipstick gives great coverage, but still feels light and moist on the lips.
So we got an email from your regularly scheduled writer asking us to step in and write an extra post, as she is ‘really, really sick’. Last time she was ‘really, really sick’, Circus Peanuts (the orange marshmallow things) were to blame - and we saw how dreadful that was. We’re hoping she feels better soon.
We also just got over being sick, so here is our guide to necessities when under the weather.
