Tights.

Imagine this, your out with your girls at this new bar when this gorgeous man keeps looking over giving you the look all your girls are commenting on how gorgeous he is so you smile back no harm in friendly flirting ay, then all off a sudden he walks over he has the body to match that gorgeous face you carnt believe your luck but when you look down you see he's wearing tights what do you do? Pretend you were smiling at someone else? Pretend your foriegn? Or just do nothing its only man tights? Well that could well happen in the future. The next big thing to hit the high street is mans tights! But oh no this latest style isnt cheap as just one pair of 120 denier tights costs a whooping £70! So men in tights, is it a do or is it a dont? Personally for me its a deffinate no no, i mean yes let your man wear them if your married to superman or batman but other then that ladies keep the lock on your stockings draw! These 'pantyhose' for men are apparently the latest craze in Germany, they even do them in different designs they do floral pantyhose and a tribal tattoo pantyhose oh no your wrong in thinking it stops there, they also do army print pantyhose but he will not camoflauge into the style with these on! Then theres just a plain black and white style. I think this idea is absolutely ridiculous, what man would ever want to wear tights? I mean we've all seen the bingo advert where Vic reeves dresses as a women and for all those of you that hasnt seen it its the picture at the side, could you really take your man seriously looking like that? If we let our men wear tights then whats next, our skirts? Dresses? We'll have to start putting locks on our wardrobes! If after reading all this you still are not weirded out by the thought of your man wearing tights then there something really wrong with you but heres some handy tips for him on how to actually put them on..

London fashion week.


This week we saw all the celebs fleeing to London to see this years autumn winter collection, the likes of Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn and Emma Watson all took to there seats to see the models flaunting the designs. The biggest shock to me about London fashion week was where has Agness's tradmark bleach blonde locks gone? She seemed to be going 'back to black' she deffinately showed that black is the new black. She teamed her new black hair with a black blazor and black leather shirt with black hotpants but it wouldnt be complete without something completely unique only Agness can pull of and yet again she has! She teamed the all black outfit with some very different tights, with the house of Holland motif on, there not everybodys cup of tea but personally i think Agness pulls them off very well!

Emma Watson, the new face of Burberry didnt come top of my best dressed list, personally her dress seemed like the wrappers of Quality street toffees all screwed up, she teamed the wrapper dress with a leather belt and matching leather shoes, they were a nice combination just not with 'the dress' she then teamed this outfit with a nude leather bag which would of looked nice with a completely different outfit. Emma Watson normallly looks gorgeous but at London she let herself down. Quality street wrappers should be left in the bin or on the sweets next time Emma!

Raf simons better known for his Dr Martens collection also wow'ed the crowd with his latest fashion for our feet walking down the catwalk. Raf Simons has created a very different approach to sandles combined with the classic Dr Marten boots. Particulary im not quite sold on the colaboration, there deffinately the most eye grabbing in the Raf Simons for Dr Marten collection.

The biggest story to come out of London fashion week has to be Mark Fast using plus size models on the cat walk, the daring knitwear designer decided to put US size 8-10 on the catwalk. This caused meltdown with both his stylist and his creative director walking out just three days before the show, but thankfully he found 2 women to replace them and save the day! Fast has now created and photographic exhibition entitled "all walks beyond the catwalk" which features models aged 18-65 in garments that are sizes 8-16. i personally believe this is a fantastic idea and that plus size models should be used not just in Mark fast's designs. Its showing girls that you dont have to be thin to be beautiful, and these models deffinately proved that as they were all gorgeous! Its giving teenage girls more hope and showing them that all theses size 0 celebs, yes they might be gorgeous but bigger girls are just as beautiful and im glad that Mark is giving girls the oppertunity to show that because every page you open up in a magazine there are celebs with petite frames and yes im sure noone would say no to having Cherly coles body but until they invent a diet where you can eat as much choclate as you want and still maintane the tiny body then sorry girls its going to have to be hitting the gym. The models we see on runways just look like skeletons and these plus size models really gave them a run for there money and i really wish more designers would use Marks idea because girls especially young teenage girls wont feel the need to look like skeletons! So just remember, big girls you are beautiful!
