I don’t know about you, but I am thoroughly sick of this cold weather and am ready to move on from winter for another 12 months.

I actually think it’s been colder in Sydney this year than the last few years, and somehow even wearing two pairs of my beloved Leona Edmiston black opaque tights doesn’t seem to be cutting it on some days.

I just discovered something called Flox (stupid name, smart idea) and they may be my ideal solution. Apparently, these babies look like ordinary black opaque tights, but are lined with superfine fleece for extra warmth and comfort.

They’re very reasonably priced, too - you can buy one pair online for $19.95 or two pairs for $34.95.
