international legs of mystery

back in yesteryear, when i had to travel virtually non-stop for my job, i had the fun of a few years of international travel peppered into the mix. i got to go to London a couple of times a year, which made me tingly with joy. i also made several trips to Berlin. this is a place i probably never would have gone to on my own, so it was kind of cool to go explore when i had an hour or two off work. to be honest, it was wildly overwhelming and humbling at times, because it's the only place i have traveled where i was not fluent in the language. but sign language works very well, as does a smile. (i did actually manage to find some people who spoke some french so that helped too) the one thing i nailed in german was my morning coffee order on my way to the theater.

anyhoo - i am digressing wildly - like 4 miles down tangent road. so, as it is, when one travels a lot, one spends a bizarrely large amount of time in airports. some of them are great (Heathrow rivals the a shopping mall - seriously major shopping to be done there), some are dreadful. and some are random and odd, like Berlin.

howevs - one thing they did have, right across from a profoundly great magazine shop, and next to a CRAP food type shop was a Wolford shop. odd, right? being in an airport, it's duty free, which made it odd and brilliant. this became one of my regular stops pre-flight. i had not tried Wolford before my Berlin experience, and now i'm hooked. hook, line and sinker. you put on the tights (or leggings!!! LOVES the leggings!) and you feel rather glamorous instantly. they have a great color selection, and some seriously sexy patterned numbers. all in all - legalicous.

back in the old USA, Wolford is sold at a number of places - Saks, Barneys, Bergdorf's, Neimans, Bloomies, but for the online shoppers - best bet (as is most always the case) is to suss out ShopStyle to get an idea of what to do -- and they will also let you know if anything is on sale.

it's easing toward winter, so why not wrap your legs in a little luxury?
