Tabio A/W 2011 & Summer Sale Beauties

My love for Tabio, the Japanese socks and hosiery super brand is well know. As demonstrated by these previous posts. Their socks and tights are super cute and comfortable beyond belief. They use techniques that help create the most durable and great quality socks/hosiery that you’ll ever wear. Their customer service is second to none and the staff are a great advert for the brand. So I was overjoyed to hear that they’ve just released their AW collection. These socks are soo pretty and completely adorable.



Aren't the scalloped tops gorgeous?
Not only are the brand releasing these beauties but they also have an amazing summer sale on at the moment with big reductions.
These are are my picks from the sale:





Spot a theme here? Yes, most my sale favourites have bows on them. I’m a girly girl at heart. Bows appear quite often on this blog. So, which is your favourite pair. I can’t choose one I need them all in my life. I’m greedy like that!

OOTD - The One With The Fear Conquering Shoes

Today has been such a gloriously warm day. The UK really is in the midst of summer weather now. So today I decided to rock a playsuit with these amazing shoes I picked up while in London. They're higher than i'm used to and I feel a little self conscious in them as they take my height over 6foot but I soldiered through and wore them anyway. I really adore high heeled platform shoes and I intend to wear them more often and push all my self doubt to the side. While wearing them I just tried to think about how many women wish they had my height (that helped a little). So what do you think of this look guys? Should I ignore my height fears and wear platforms more often?

Tabio Bloggers Event & OOTD

Last Thursday Tabio very kindly invited me to a bloggers event at their Kensington store so I made my way to London to attend the event. I was very excited as I’m a big Tabio fan, i’ve blogged about them before. For those who don’t know Tabio produces some of the most amazingly well made hosiery and socks for both men and women. They’re a Japanese brand who not only are a huge hit with bloggers but they’re also used by many top designers during London Fashion Week.
But before the event I met up with my awesome blogging buddies Cherie and Akeela. We all have a bit of a sweet tooth so we took ourselves off tio the fabulous Gelupo in Soho. Gelupo sells the most delicious Italian ice-cream and sorbets. I opted for the pistachio and the hazelnut and we spent the next hour discussing all manner of subjects including blogging, Osama Bin Laden and our career aims. Diverse or what?



Then we made the short journey via London underground to the Tabio event. As we were exiting the station we bumped into the fab blogger Anne-Marie who i’ve been wanting to meet ever since missing her at LFW. This lady is impeccably stylish and her makeup was flawless (super jealous). All round PR genius and fashion/beauty blogger Lois greeted us at the door and handed us a raffle ticket, this ticket enabled us to choose any product we liked from the store. How amazing is that? I was in hosiery heaven. All around us were tights and socks in every imaginable style and colour.






And no good blogging event would be complete without yummy food

So which tights do you think I chose?


Aren’t they lovely? they are from Tabio’s collaboration with Korean designer JS Lee.
To show you just how lush they are, take a peek below at the outfit photos below which feature these amazing tights!







Thanks so much to the fabulous Tabio and Lois for all their hard work and for organising such a brilliant event.
