Christmas Stockings with UK Tights


*Post contains products which have been sent as a gift.

It's definitely tights weather out there, with winter having finally made itself at home here in London. But with party season on the horizon, we don't just want tights that fit. We want cute stockings, hold-ups and all those trimmings which finish off the perfect party outfit. And with so many brands to choose from in one place, UK Tights are the hosiery superhero we all need in our life!

Jive Bunny - Elomi Sachi Plunge Wire Bra


Since we're getting into the valentines spirit, I want to shout out about my love for Elomi. Not only do they make the best sports bras in existence, but they also create the cutest lingerie sets which are as functional as they are beautiful. When the stunning Sachi set arrived in the post, I couldn't believe how amazing it was. Strappy, sheer and seductive, it's the perfect bra to pair with a sheer panelled top or dress for a hint of underwear as outerwear.

Finale: C'est Toi! - The Carmen Set from Elomi Lingerie

Elomi are miracle makers if you're blessed with big boobs or a curvy figure. Adding a little oomph up top with pretty separates you'll want to be seen in, their range jumps from pretty florals to slinky seducers, but all with everyday wear at it's core.

I was recently lucky enough to be send the Carmen set to try out, and it was love at first sight. Available up to a JJ cup, it's made with a stunning crochet lace and has a stunning Art Deco quality to it. The design offers a three section cup, which includes a side frame for added support and a low cut plunge to the front.

The briefs which match are very pretty, and feel cool and silky against the skin. Designed in a stretch fabric, they go up to a 4XL (UK22) and feature a full design without being frumpy. The matching crochet lace panel finish it off perfectly.

The bra starts from £38, and the briefs £20 and you can buy them both from here.

Until next time,

Diana xx

Lady In Red - The Kitty Set from Sculptresse at Panache Lingerie


I'm a firm believer that good underwear really does provides the scaffolding for your clothes. Not only that, I feel so much more put together when wearing a matching set, almost like secret power dressing, just for yourself.

As someone with a large bust, it's important that I find something which offers support, but all too often that means boring basics rather than pretty frills. That was why I was so excited when I came across the Sculptresse range from Panache, who offer stunning sets which don't compromise on style at all. When they asked if I'd be interested in reviewing something on the blog, I immediately jumped at the chance because they are utterly gorgeous!



Clearly I am not a model, and have lumps and bumps all over. But let me tell you, never have I felt so confident in my undies than I did in this beautiful set. Appropriately called "Kitty" which also happens to be my nickname, it comes in a racy red shade with a jacquard star fabric and animal print bow. Reminiscent of the big top, I felt part show girl, part ring leader in it. Even with a full cup and high waisted pants, I felt like a siren. The amazing stockings which I teamed with it are from The Big Tights Company, and will also be on the blog in a separate review soon.

The bra goes up to a HH cup, with the matching pants up to a UK 26. You can also check out a recent guest post I wrote for them over on the Curves & More blog.

Until next time,
