  9. Fishnets are so fun and paired with the right pieces, they create an outfit that's sexy, not sleezy.

    Love the Emma Watson shot as well!

  13. All those stockings look hot! I have personally never incorporated stockings into my wardrobe as I feel that it may emphasize my short frame. It would be great to try them though, especially with those great designs!

  50. Great picks of legwear dear CC.
    I'm a bit obsessed with lace leggings, but I can't find them here :(

  51. I had so much fun with tights this winter and I'm so happy that they trickled into summer as pants and just for fun as tights too...esp given the weird not-summery weather we had for a while in NYC. I hope I win! and btw, Emma Watson looks AMAZING. I almost didn't recognize her when I saw her. when did she grow up? beautiful girl. love all of the photos that you shared, as always. you know I love it here. xx

    I love these tights! I wish I had some sexy legs to wear them! I'm addicted to black for the slimming effect, but I love some of these prints. They are super-cool.
