To attend their famously glamorous and wild parties, you need to wear the following in different variations, and you'll be good to go: A white dress or kaftan, white wedges/heels, a Boutique White Ruffle Bikini is a must, sparkly beach bag, jewels and bangles.

Opening their first Nikki Beach in Miami in 1998, word spread fast about their extravagant pool parties, sparking a world wide love for them! With 10 branches now open in various sun drenched parts of the world,  their famous white parties are now enjoyed throughout the year globally. So book your flights, grab your ruffle bikinis and remember, no carbs before marbs! :)

Big 5 0 in Vegas- Home of stockings and suspenders, hold ups, fishnets and pantyhose!

So you already know about my parents having spontaneous ways, so I don't know why I was surprised by mums 50th birthday celebration plans. They went from looking at relaxing weekends in Santorini, to actually booking 4 nights in Las Vegas - land of lights, entertainment and fun (on a scale only Americans manage!) 

Casinos, and hosiery was everywhere you looked. Mum was very impressed with the stockings, fishnets and pantyhose being worn by the show girls, waitresses and hotel staff.

In the casinos the waitresses wear a range of funky fashion tights and fishnets. The famously, spectacular burlesque extravaganza, showcases a fabulous array of elaborate show-girl costumes, complete with seamed stockings, suspender belts and patterned pantyhose. Brought into the mainstream of entertainment by the lovely Dita Von Teese...

...Burlesque grew on a tremendous scale, with celebs clamouring to appear in the glamorous, but classy, 'Peepshow' in Las Vegas...

The Pussycat Dolls got in on the act. They kidnapped the beautiful Carmen Electra, and also had their own run of burlesque shows in Sin City. Dancing their saucy over the knee socks off, the girls looked amazing in their fishnet hold ups and glitter tights.

Although they didn't see a burlesque show, I was a little shocked to discover that Dad had booked tickets to see Rihanna at the Mandalay Bay hotel! Normally a Radio 2 or Talk Sport listener, he sang 'shine bright like a diamond' every time I saw him for months :) The effects that Vegas has, had obviously got a hold of him early! 

Rihanna tights are famous in their own right!

They had an unforgettable holiday with mum texting me updates such as 'At the piano bar at the Bellagio Hotel drinking cocktails, Ha!' and 'I can't get Dad to bed he's playing Roulette' and my personal favourite-

Me and my husband were also lucky enough to visit Vegas, at the end of a once in a lifetime trip travelling the world. If you ever get the chance to go, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The excitement hits you as soon as you land in Vegas and doesn't leave you until it's time to bid farewell to it's magic... I was so sad to leave I cried all the way home! 

Gipsy Toeless Tights

Due to the famously short British summers, depriving us of the glowing suntans that we crave, the quest to find a natural looking pair of sheer tights can be a nightmare. Gipsy toeless tights from the better than bare range, give me the confidence to wear my pretty summer dresses to every event throughout the season. No matter what the forecast, I know I won't have a last minute change of heart about my outfit, as toeless pantyhose make my legs look naturally tanned and leave them looking perfectly blemish free.

I find that fake tan never seems to take to my legs well, and this natural looking sheer toeless hosiery, in natural glow, give the perfect hint of colour minus the streaks, in no time.

At a wedding we attended, my friend (left) fresh off a beach in South Africa (so jealous), showed her tan off with bare legs. I was wearing gipsy toeless tights (right) and you couldn't tell the difference! Who needs a beach in South Africa ;)

The open toe pantyhose meant that I could still wear some sandals, I already had, that matched my dress and showed off my pedicure.

Gipsy Toeless Tights are available in natural glow, chocolate and nude to suit all skin tones.

Suspender Pantyhose and Carpe Diem!

The title proved to be the magic mix for mum! Carpe Diem just sums up Mum & Dads approach to life. Always taking the risk, moving onwards and upwards and making new adventures. The beginnings of mum’s online shop Essex’ee Legs was no different. It’s been inspiring to watch her tiny seed of an idea, flourish into an exciting online business that continues to grow. So, after a few years of dreaming and hankering after a little business to call her own Suspender Pantyhose is where it all began!!

Sparkly tights and fishnet stockings had been worn forever in show business, then in 2009 a new celeb trend emerged, 5 words - Lily Allen, mock suspender tights …

We were all hooked, Designers Gipsy, Pamela Mann and Leg Avenue all made their own unique versions of suspender hosiery…

Mock Suspender Tights,  Plus Size Suspender Tights
All available at Essex'ee Legs

The popularity of the mock suspender tights style triggered a flood of new and unique hosiery designs, that celebs wore everywhere. Fortunately Gipsy, Pamela Mann, Leg Avenue, and Jonathan Aston continue to make the gorgeous fashion tights accessible to us mere mortals too…

Fashion Tights

The love for this new abundance of different hosiery styles never died and Essex’ee Legs provides a wide range of fashion tights in amongst its beautiful collections.

With a new trend that seemed to be sticking around, mum recognised the potential for an online tights shop ranging from sizes 6-32, with international postage. Accessibility was important to her, as apart from the big flagship stores many of the high street collections were sparse, with few or none selling plus size tights. With the image of Lily wearing suspender pantyhose, providing that light bulb moment, and a certain TV show, set in our home town, providing inspiration for a catchy name for the website…

Aherm, reem?

Essex’ee Legs became reality and mum dived head first into her new adventure...

We are proud of you mum! xxx
