I’ve just ordered a heap of new stockings and lingerie. When they come in, I can’t wait to write about them all. For now, I’ll post a few pictures so you know what to look forward to. ;-D
Above are the Charnos ‘Breast Cancer Care’ fishnet stockings, nylon/lycra blend, 3 sizes (S-L), £7.99/pair (approximately $16.00 USD), 2.5 inch welt with pink ribbon accents and bow, available in black only.
Have I mentioned how much I love fishnets? Not only are they insanely sexy, they go with everything, and they’re nearly impossible to tear. If I had enough skirts, I might wear fishnets everyday. Plus, buying these stockings supports a good cause. Though I’m not a big fan of the recent consumerism as activism trend, if you’re going to buy fishnets anyway, why not get a pair that helps someone?
Above are the Stockingirl cable knit tights, cotton, opaque, 4 sizes (S-XL), $16.99 USD/pair (!!!), available in ten colors: blue-violet, cherry, tangerine, teal, fuschia, denim, winter white, graphite, black, and light truffle.
I know it’s getting a bit warm for cable knit tights, but I just had to post about these, especially since they’re on crazy sale over at Stockingirl.com. I swear I don’t work for that company and they don’t sponsor me in any way; they just sell so much stuff I like (especially when it’s on sale) that I can’t help but talk about it.
Since it’s been awhile, I’m doing two posts in one day. That, and I just found something else to lust over. 
Above is the Kiki de Montparnasse garter tank. Available in white or black, it is a cotton/silk ribbed blend made to fit close to the body with four attached satin garters, sizes S-XL, $195.00 (USD).
Yes, you read that right. One hundred and ninety-five dollars.
The sad thing is, if I had that kind of money to toss around willy-nilly, I think I’d buy this. A basic tank (which is what I live in during the summer) plus garters? It really is the best of both worlds.
My apologies for not posting in awhile. The semester is wrapping up at University and things have been hectic. I checked my profile viewing stats and saw that I’ve had 117 reads. So, if you’re reading this, thanks so much, and, if you like it, please tell your stocking-loving friends! 
Above is the Rago Pink Waist Cincher #721, black satin body with pink flat sewn seams, black and pink lace front, 13 front hook-and-eye closures, 4 satin, adjustable garters with pink decorative bows at the top and metal clasps, and flexible spiral boning, available in sizes S-2XL, $36-40.00/cincher or £27.95.
Above are the Stockingirl stretch sandalfoot stockings, nylon/lycra blend, 15 denier, 4 sizes (S-XL), $16.99 (USD)/pair, available in 14 colors–black, nude, white, cappuccino, taupe, navy blue, dark gray, aqua green, turquoise, red, light pink, royal blue, violet and forest green.
I really quite like these stockings. They’re inexpensive. They’re available in a lot of colors. They’re sheer. They’re stretchy. Really, what’s not to like?
I purchased forest green and the color was not only true to the swatch on the website, but also opaque enough to show on my legs. The nylon/lycra blend hugs the leg nicely, and the stockings have a simple matte finish.
Above is the Leopard garter panty from Danger Dame. The website doesn’t have specs, but they’re made of a velvet-like material, with a low-rise (straight across the hips on me), full coverage front and boyshort-style, cheeky cut back. Four black garters, slightly adjustable, with black plastic clips and black plastic tabs. Two black ruffles in the front and back are aligned with the garters. The panty is available in sizes S-L, fitting waist measurements 24-32, and costs $28.00 (USD)/pair.
Above are the Cervin ‘Swing Time’ stockings with reinforced heel and sole, 100% nylon, 15 denier, 5 sizes (S-XXL), $53.80-63.55 USD (approximately £32.99), only available in black.
In case you can’t tell, I’m in love. These stockings scream luxury. 100% nylon, fully fashioned hose complete with finishing loop, functional backseam, pyramid heel, and three diamond motifs just above the ankle…how can I not swoon?
Above are the Levante fishnet stockings, 85% nylon, 15% lycra, 2 sizes (S/M, T/XT), $8.95 (£4.95)/pair, only available in Black.
‘Sexy’ is a word in serious danger of overuse. Everything is sexy now, even things which would better be described as trashy, silly, or even boring. Quite honestly, it makes me a bit reluctant to use the word.
But what else can you call fishnet stockings other than sexy?
As promised, here is my post about a really good garter belt for daily stockings wear. I don’t have all the specs on this item, which is why I didn’t start this post the way I usually do, but I’ll relay the ones I do have as I go along.
One of the problems with typical garter belts (i.e. the ones you buy from Victoria’s Secret or the lingerie department at Macy’s) is that you’re not really supposed to wear them. That may sound contradictory. After all, these belts have straps and garters, and claim to hold up your stockings. However, those belts strictly for bedroom wear, and any attempt to wear them outside the boudoir will you leave you sorely disappointed and with your stockings dangling around your ankles.
