Thermal tights a must!

Fact, it is very cold and frosty outside. Fact if you have to travel on South West trains into Waterloo anywhere between Dorking and Waterloo, think Epsom, Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and you'll know they are clonky old trains which of a morn are freezing. Biting cold in fact especially when the doors open.

I'm sure wherever you are there is a need for thermal tights at the moment and do tell me your worst cold travel issues, we can all bond over it. Luckily, despite persisting with their Per Una range, M&S have brilliant thermal tights which look like opaques but have a secret layer of ...wait for it... cosy fleece on the inside.

Toasty toes is all I have to say.




M&S 140 Denier Thermal Fleece Opaque Tights £9.50 product code T60 2193 available in store or online

New Beginnings

This really is the last year of Make Do Style. Yes after 6 years of blogging on this blog it is time to call it quits very soon. Some of you may have already observed my new twitter handle Twisted Skirt, well that is the new name of my company Twisted Skirt Publishing. A new blog will be up and running soon - don't worry it is me - there will be no fancy pants stuff (yet).

Then there is the book launch on Kindle of Girlynomics taking place this month. 2013 really is the year of new beginnings!

Talking of new beginnings Make Do Style makes a few predictions for the coming year both style related and general ones.

1. This is the year for embracing Sports Luxe. Adidas, metallics, and block colours makes combining tracksuit pants with heels the easy option. Don't say double denim do say Adidas Originals. Dig out your Run DMC.

2. Holidaying in Greece. After months of misery in 2012 with epic rainfall, book early to avoid another disappointing summer weather wise. Greece is the place to give you guaranteed sunshine, heat and warm waters. Go to Greece to get lashings of vitamin D and Lays Oregano crisps.

3. Mars probing is the new science hotspot, even India is sending one to Mars this year. Also make the most of  the Hadron Collider at Sern as they collide protons with lead ions in February before closing it down for essential maintenance work in 2013. 

4. Flat and frumpy is the new footwear. See Katie Grand for Hogan and Celine. Don't think Birkenstock do think rubber sole

5. 'Tis the year to stop being superstitious. It is 2013! Enjoy
