Pin Up

Spring is peeping into February and trying to muscle its way in. Already girls excited by the prospect of sunny weather are getting their legs out and getting into their spring/summer trews a tad earlier. With that in mind we've got a few tips to keep pins perfect.

If your legs are crying out for some air but you're feeling a bit wobbly now is a good time to start toning up. Cardiovascular exercise like running, walking and cycling will help you lose weight and tone up your legs. Combined with Yoga and Pilates you truly will be prepared to bare in time for Spring.

West London Pilates studio TenPilates has a great selection of classes for beginners as well as those more experienced from early morning till evening seven days a week. They also run a a cardio stepbox class to get your heart racing.

Pretty Polly have brought us delightful tights but this week they unveiled their new 'bare legs' collection. With Denise Van Outen as the face and legs of the range Pretty Polly have created a range of beauty products.

Nipping back from the launch party my male colleague peeked into the goody bag and shook his head at the array of 14 products specifically for use on the leg and said, ‘A girl wouldn't really use all that.' At my insistence that, in fact, a girl really would buy a range of products just for the leg he let out a bewildered, 'Why?'
Men.

From exfoliator, bronzer and moisturiser to a leg mask and leg gloss there's really no excuse for imperfect pins. Leg care and leg cosmetics may seem a bit extreme but actually Pretty Polly People are onto something.

Whether you go for a demure tulip or pencil skirt a la Marc Jacobs or a little more risqué with city shorts (still big news with Stella McCartney and Matthew Williamson) the Prepare to Bare range can add a little extra pizzazz.

Get your legs ready with the Love Legs exfoliating leg wipes or with a nourishing leg mask or leg butter and then finish with Leg Shimmer and Bronzer. Don't overdo it.
