The 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (a.k.a my favorite Christmas tradition) airs tomorrow on CBS at 10/9c. I was able to get a few preview photos, and I’ve posted my fave looks below.
Come back tomorrow to tell me what you thought of the show, and to see my top 5 holiday lingerie shopping picks from the VS website!
Regardless, best to get these “kinks” out of my system now, before the Christmas shopping posts start on Dec. 1st!

How about when Saks 5th Avenue took 40% off this season’s Wolford hosiery collection?

We’ll be back with more stockings goodness tomorrow!
You could call 2009 the year of ModCloth. Started by two college students out of their dorm room in 2002, Modcloth is now the go-to place for vintage, vintage-inspired, and indie clothing. They also carry an excellent selection of tights, leggings, and socks. Here are a few of my favorites…
Winter Prep Thigh Highs in Dark Charcoal
I’m really digging the “sexy librarian” vibe here.
V is for Vixen Tights
Chevron patterns never get old, and these have a leg-lengthening effect.
Winter Semester Socks in Plum Pudding
You simply can’t go wrong with over-the-knee socks.
I’m not sure about other parts of the country, but here in Seattle it’s pretty cold and damp. Too cold and damp for my regular tights to keep me warm. So what do I do when nylon won’t suffice? Switch to wool sweater tights, of course!
Last summer, I picked up a pair each of the Stockingirl Amanda Ribbed Merino Wool tights and the Vanessa Thick Cable Knit Tights. Imported direct from Europe, they’re both composed of a 50% merino wool, 40% acrylic, 8% nylon, and 2% lycra blend. That fabric proportion makes these tights both warm and comfortable…cutting down on itchiness, enhancing durability (they’re machine washable!), and making them able to stretch and move with you.
I love discovering new hosiery and these hand-dyed, hand-printed tights from Helsinki, Finland based design duo Zukale & Huoviala are quite the find. Limited edition, affordable luxury…what’s not to love?
