Joy of Tights latest tights heroine is Eliza Doolittle who is reported by yesterday's London Evening Standard as being out wearing just a pair sheer of sheer tights and a sweatshirt. Not quite - she is wearing sandals too. What tights with sandals? Go for it Eliza. Even better the tights are reinforced toe (I think) - if you look carefully.

(For those of you who don't know. Eliza Sophie Caird (born 15 April 1988), better known by her stage name Eliza Doolittle, is an English singer-songwriter who signed to the Parlophone record label in October 2008. Her debut self-titled album, Eliza Doolittle was released on 12 July 2010, where it debuted at number 3 in the UK. Since the album's release, Doolittle has spawned two top 25 hits, including "Skinny Genes" and "Pack Up", which debuted within the top 5 on the UK Singles Chart.).

Well this got Joy of Tights interested. Is Eliza often found in tights?
Well on her blog she talks about seeing amazing YSL shoes - a girl after my own heart - and then about a shop with a loraloralot of tights.
And in another post she talks of laddering her fav tights.
She says of these tights:
"They’re the ones on the cover of my EP with little hearts on…I have bought about 10 pairs over all cos they ladder nearly every time I wear them…check me last night at the pop up store event in Whiteleys they must have laddered just before I got there ! ARRGGHH !"
Holes and ladders seem to be a fact of Eliza's tights. (Well they are for us all - but her's get noticed). The Daily Mail said
"British singer Eliza Doolittle was not quite the 'Fair Lady' [Ho, Ho, Ho such a good joke (NOT) - Joy of Tights] as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday.The 24-year-old star was spotted walking around in a pair of holey tights - and very tiny shorts.Eliza was seen heading out for an early-morning coffee, sporting a very grungy outfit consisting of and oversized jacket, shorts and trainers."
At least a Eliza has a sense of humour tweeting this pic saying she had ladders in her tights
If I'm not mistaken I think they are PP Henry Holland
Tights do seem to figure in Eliza bio, another site says:
"Eliza Doolittle – strong of opinion, smiley of face, loud of tights – was born in Camden, north London 24 years ago. She’s been writing songs since she was 12 and signed a publishing deal at 16. As she matured, her songs began to flower into the magical blooms they are today – gorgeous pop songs which mine sounds from the 60’s and 70’s while managing to sound indisputably fresh."

And as a final piece of evidence check this quote out from the MyTights.com referring to a Sunday Express article
"Eliza Doolittle, famous for hit singles such as Skinny Genes and Pack Up, revealed her fashion address book secret to The Sunday Express’ S magazine – and her best kept secret is MyTights.com! It should come to no surprise that the brilliantly poppy singer-songwriter is a huge fan of all things funky, fun and bright when it comes to fashion and that includes her choice of tights. Eliza’s chosen autumn/winter wear is a jumper teamed with ‘funky tights’ and pointed to mytights.com for all her hosiery needs, “MyTights.com stocks the most amazing tights. I get all mine from there.” "
