Weekend Winter Wamers

When the evenings are cold and dark, all I want to do when I get home from work is get into warm and comfortable pieces, like the fleece tunic from Uniqlo and these warm merino wool long ribbed room socks from Tabio.

How do you keep warm in the winter?

Having it all: an evening with Tabio

The Japanese hosiery brand, Tabio, has it all!

When Tabio tweeted that they were having a blogger event exactly a week before my birthday (did I mention it’s my birthday soon?!!) I could hardly ignore it, could I? I admit, it is only since I started reading blogs that I have become aware of the brand but it is safe to say that amongst bloggers, they are a firm favourite. And now I understand why:

From bows to frills and sockettes to leg warmers, from glitter to neon and house socks to thermal socks and toe socks and toe-post socks to heel socks and many other wonderful and surprising combinations in between:

Tabio really are revolutionising hosiery – turning it from a boring necessity to an exciting and coveted accessory.

Not living in London I don’t have the pleasure of attending many blogger events and was, thus, duly impressed with the spread of refreshments laid on:

And the kind invitation to choose any one item “as a gift”. With so much choice, I was torn – between the pink glitter ankle socks and the bow embellished leg warmers. I plumped, finally, for something completely different; those rather fabulous crochet socks with a flower ankle detail, which I will show you in a post very soon.

Thank you again to Tabio for inviting me and for putting on a fabulous evening.
