lovely gifts on a Sunday

Last week the lovely people at Chic Unique asked me if I'd like to pick something from their range. This was after I'd broadcast my poor form with regards to jewellery i.e: I have none. So of course, I excitedly took up the opportunity. I knew I definitely wanted a necklace as I don't think I own any, so I decided to go for a kitsch telephone and rose charm necklace. 

It was posted really fast (which I'm massively rating after recent experience with a company who has taken nearly 2 weeks to deliver something!!) and came in lovely packaging.

My necklace was in this gorgeous card with a lovely Alice illustration. Pretty perfect seeing as Alice In Wonderland is my favourite Disney film. Coincidence...?

I would have posted a full outfit post, but it's Sunday and I'm lazing about with my boyfriend, so the outfit really isn't post worthy. As you can see the necklace is lovely, and on the back it has a teeny tiny Chic Unique inscription (my 'expert' photographer wouldn't be able to focus the camera enough for this). After looking at the website, you can also co-design some jewellery items, which is a great idea because who doesn't like a bit of custom design?

I've been really lucky this week because I've also been sent some goodies by Legs Love. As you might be able to infer from the title, they're a hosiery company who sell brands like Johnathon Aston, Pretty Polly, and Pamela Mann. They sent me a pair of Pamela Mann 'Solid Sheer Stripe Tights':

I'm kind of in two minds about them. Don't get me wrong, I genuinely like them, but I'm not sure what I'm going to wear them with yet. They're right on my boundary of hosiery choice, because my style doesn't get very exciting in that department. My most unusual pair are the Henry Holland 'suspender' tights, and they're not uncommon now at all. So while these aren't really bright or covered in bold print, they're just stepping outside of my comfort zone. However, the whole point of Legs Love is to get us tight-phobes kitted out and realising the difference that a great pair of tights can actually make to an outfit, so I'll definitely be posting an outfit including them soon.

So what do you think of my gifts? Any ideas on what to wear the tights with? I hope that longer readers of my blog will have a vague sense of what I like, so you might have some ideas :)
