Yesterday I picked up a very special package from the post office — a big bag of treats from We Love Colors! I do love them so, especially those splash stockings! I feel like I just jumped in a watercolour puddle. I had always eyed up their website & wanted to order legwear from them, but living in Australia (like with almost all online shopping), I was always hesitant to do it because of the cost of shipping.

But the RAD news is that We Love Colors is offering FREE AIR MAIL for orders over $20 to the Antipodes (Australia & New Zealand!) if you use the coupon code runway! The offer is good up until September 1st, but you should hop to it, or you’ll probably forget! Additionally, if you sometimes have trouble finding stockings which fit you, their plus-sized tights are suitable for girls up to 170kg (375lb)!

Sheesh, I know it’s cold down there right now — why don’t you layer some super-soft microfiber tights (in violet or turquoise or fuchsia) with a pair of diamond-net fishnets (in white or orchid pink or neon yellow)? Or wear a pair of diamond tights in royal blue with your warmest little black dress? Or tuck a splash colour tank leotard into a high-waisted leather miniskirt? Yum!

Okay — hopefully that has given you some ideas! Dear members of the Commonwealth, I still love you very much, even though we are now in different time-zones, & hope that this proves it to you!
