BOSTONISTA GIVE-A-WAYS: VIENNEMILANO THIGH HIGHS!

A second give-a-way in less than a week??

It's true! 

I love being able to share my favorite products and brands with all my readers and give-a-ways are the best way to do it! 

One of my go-to items this past holiday season were VienneMilano's luxury glitter thigh highs.

I love classic lingerie and thigh highs have always been a particular favorite- they're so much sexier than old fashioned pantyhose (ugh) and I think they're more comfortable too!

VienneMilano is a new company based in Boston that is devoted entirely to luxury thigh highs made in Italy! VienneMilano's original designs use innovative materials to make their gorgeous thigh highs! And, in case you're wondering, no you do not need a garter belt to keep them up! They stay up amazingly well on their own! (I wore the same pair at least four times in December and they never lost their shape or ability to stay up the way some brands do after a few wears.) Even better, the material they use to help the thigh highs stick don't dig into your skin, leave marks, or itch- a problem I've often found with the silicone used by other brands. Another great feature of the Gisella style that I own is the velvet detailing at the top of each stocking. It adds a touch of personality that looks great peeking out from your skirt.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2012

I'm still bemoaning the snow so I set off in search of some much needed warm weather inspiration.

I found it in Chanel's Pre-Fall 2012 collection that hit the runway back in December.

Inspired by the Maharajahs and India itself (Karl has never been. In fact, he told Style.com, "It's much more inspiring not to go to place than to go." Ohhhhhkay, Karl.) Chanel plunged head first into magnificent extravagance mixing a vision of India with the intricate craftsmanship and sophistication of France. 

The colors, the jewelry,  and the hand embroidery all led me to a dreamy, warm world with elephants trumpeting off in the distance.
