March Gambettes Box*

Although we have had our fair share of snow this month in England, I genuinely believe that Spring is right around the corner which means I may be brave enough to start wearing skirts and dresses! We shall see! When my Gambettes Box arrived this month it was perfect timing as the weather had just started to brighten up enough to wear tights! Phew!

This months box once again had two beautiful and unique pairs of tights in collaboration with Patricia Blanchet.  Patricia is a Parisian shoemaker extraordinaire. They arrived in a bag this month instead of a box, which is the ideal size for me to store my tights in from this box and previous boxes.



 Firstly was the Spectacular Spectacular pair of black lace tights 35D. These tights are great for when it is still a bit cold as they do give you slightly more coverage. The lace pattern is very flattering.

Secondly, my favourite pair of the two - Haute Voltige which is a 20D pair of black tights with a rectangle design on them. I love these because they are unique and i haven't seen another pair quite like them! They're comfortable and well fitted.

Gambettes Box costs just £13.95 a month including shipping and you get two pairs of tights delivered through your door for this price. I have loved every pair that I have received so far and have found that the quality is really good. Head over to the Gambettes Box website if you would like to subscribe or see previous boxes.

January Gambettes Box Review*

A few months ago I reviewed the new Gambettes Box and in January I was very kindly sent the second box. Since My Little Box has now gone, I needed something to fill that gap and the excitement of receiving a mystery box in the post each month. Whilst I am still on the hunt for another beauty box, the Gambettes Box has definitely satisfied the fashion side of things.

If you don’t know much about Gambettes Box then I will give you an overview. Designed in Paris, each month you will receive 2 pairs of tights which will both be different. So far all of the tights I have received have been fashionable and of really great quality. The designs are unique and not something you can pick up in any old high street store.

This months box contained a gorgeous grey pair of tights called 'Patins' with black polka dots. The tights are 50 denier so great for this time of year when you want a bit more coverage. The second pair were called 'Gadins' and were a pair of black bunting tights, 30 denier. I really like these and the pattern is unlike any other pair that I own.

You also get a couple of cards inside with ideas on how to style your new tights, which I really love. I love the excitement of not knowing what you are going to receive. Both boxes have provided me with stylish and high quality tights that I cannot complain about. I love the packaging and the inserts.

At only £13.90 a box, they make a great gift for a friend too, or a nice treat for yourself each month. Although this is a monthly subscription service you are free to cancel at any time.

Interested? Click here to order your first box. Let me know if you would like me to feature these tights in a fashion post or outfit of the day. What do you think of Gambettes Box?

Stylish Christmas Cards - Feat. Hammond Gower*

Christmas is a time for giving and even if you don’t have a lot of money it is always lovely to be able to pass out some Christmas cards. I was recently contacted by Hammond Gower to sample some of their beautiful cards on my blog in time for Christmas. Hammond Gower was founded nearly 30 years ago and have now branched out to online sales. There is a new product on their website nearly every week!

 

If you’re looking for some unique cards to send then I can definitely vouch for Hammond Gower, their beautiful cards are unlike any I have seen on the high street. The designs are hand finished and each has a thoughtful message inside to bring festive cheer to all who receives one. The detail on the cards is beautiful. A pack of 8 cards starts from £5.49 and larger packs are available and each card is 6”x6” in size. The quality is really good too and they all come with a suitable sized envelope.
