I had the opportunity recently (well, not that recently anymore since I’ve been so slow in posting lately–you get it, it’s the summer, anyway…) I got the chance to see the Spanx showroom and check out collections for not only Fall this year but also Spring 2010 and Summer (Spanx is f-ing coming out with the hottest bathing suits you could ever imagine!) More to come on their collections for next year but I just had to take a moment to rave about their tights. They threw a few pairs in with the press kit I received and I have to say I tried on a few before stowing them away in Winter storage for Scarves and Stockings and I just have to say, they are such great quality. I am always so pleasantly surprised by what Spanx comes out with and the high quality their products have.

The tights are thick and I actually got one pair stuck on my Yurman bracelet (damn things catch everything) and it didn’t rip them! They are just so well made (unlike my H&M tights, which are basically disposable clothing after 1 use.

Aside from just being great quality these tights freaking rock. They suck your gut in and plump your rump!

Spanx likes it hot! These eye-catching, body-shaping tights feature legs with flattering matte yarns that add serious sizzle to your look. The non-binding waistband allows for a comfortable fit all day. Comfortable body-shaping to slim the tummy, hips, thighs and rear, soft, matte yarns flatter the leg, cotton gusset makes panties optional.

Check out all these awesome patterns that add fashionable flair to skirts and dresses

Tight End Tights- Black. Also available in awesome colors like the ones below! $26

Tight End Tights- $26. Taste the Rainbow, they also come in like 15 other colors! We just obvs love pink!

Patterned Corset Tights- $28. Click the pic to check these out- they are beautiful (when you can see them better)

Classic Fishnets- That suck you in!

As I said, dolls, I think these are worth spending the extra $10 to go SPANX they’ll suck you in and an extra $10 won’t clean you out!

And, well just because we’re talking about Backsides…Oh My Gawd, Becky…

*I received a pair of Spanx when I met the girls who BTW were sugar, sweet, sunshine. They are sooooo nice we could eat them up!*

Don’t even get me started on my faveeeeeeeee jacket brand eva! Usually I have to visit every boutique in Manhattan to ensure that I see each and every beauteous jacket these guys have to offer before I make my purchase but for the month of September they’ll all be under one glorious roof!

This is my jacket, which is obvs the most awesomest of the awesome:

We could deal without the model (or her weird hair) but this is the best coat. It hasn’t pilled the slightest and it is sooooooooo freaking warm. People can hardly believe how heavy it is when they try to pick it up, it’s literally heavy. I wore it as a winter jacket and will continue to wear its timeless style until it’s threadbare.

Shop the Pop-up store to find your own Mack-Dreamy coat!
