Call Me Ishmael...



The third of todays outfit posts is focused around these wonderfully kitsch Moby Dick tights. Nautical is traditionally a trend saved for Spring, but I thought I'd try and create a look more suitable for the chilly winter months.



Our key pieces here are of course the Moby Dick tights by Tights for Sore Eyes, in a bright baby blue. I've paired them with our new You Can't Beat the Blues Bobby Pin set. There are three combinations with these sets; two antiqued, filigree brass bobby pins are topped with either two bright blue rose cabochons, two smaller sky blue rose cabochons or a combination of both.




For me, the key to making a trend transition the seasons is to use a darker base pallette and keep the theme running with the accessories. I've included a number of different accessories in this look; you could easily mix and match!



For a while now I've been wanting to introduce you to this gorgeous necklace by our favourites, Wallpaper Rose Jewellery. Remi consists of a heavy brass compass, hung with freshwater pearl and heart charms on a thick antique brass chain. I've been informed by the lady herself that this product flies off the shelves every time she re-stocks!





Winter winds...


Our second look for today keeps in with our running theme of all things Autumnal this week. This peter pan collar dress is a favourite amongst the blogersphere and with good cause; it's flattering cut and on-trend block colour can be worn a multitude of ways.



My penchant for a bird print continues with these gorgeous mossy green version of the aforementioned Flocking Birds Tights by Tights for Sore Eyes.



We showed you the Iron and Wine Bobby Pin Set yesterday...if you were wondering where they may fit in your wardrobe, I'm sure you'll agree that this is an easy yet chic way to wear them!



Tights for Sore Eyes


I first came across Tights For Sore Eyes on a Folksy browse and fell in love at first sight! Their quirky, tongue in cheek, hand-printed hosiery is perfect for the autumn months. Run by cousins Danni and Nikki Mc Williams, with backgrounds in fashion and fine art, Tights for Sore Eyes were featured in the Lu Flux SS11 show at London Fashion Week this September; so you know you're in good company wearing these! Check out Tights for Sore Eyes via their Blog, facebook, and Twitter pages.



Keeping warm can sometimes get a little monotonous; decent knitwear doesn't come cheap, so if you're like me you'll tend to gravitate towards more basic, block colours to ensure you get maximum wear out of them. But how to add interest to an outfit? Accessories, of course!



I've put together a range of looks here featuring Tights for Sore Eyes hoisery and Crown and Glory hair accessories. I think these ranges work particularly well together, alongside the block colours, as there is enough spaces between the items for them each to hold their own.



Further looks will be posted throughout the day; which will be your favourite?
