Look for Less: Kiki de Montparnasse Garter Tank

Back in February, I reviewed the Kiki de Montparnasse Garter Tank and, without going into too much detail, was left terribly dissapointed.

I still really like the casually sexy look of a garter tank though, and I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement ever since. Now I’ve found two.

Etsy designer Clarebare makes an Organic Bamboo Jersey Garter Tank which is cuter than hell, sells for only $48, and comes in 4 different colors…not to mention being custom made.

Dollhouse Bettie also designs a Ribbed Cotton Garter Dress modeled off a classic Hanes tank. Available in black or grey, their version retails for $62.50.

Lust!: Batgirl Bodysuit from Topshop

Haven’t done one a lust feature in awhile, but I am positively swooning over this adorable Batgirl bodysuit from Topshop. At only £20.00 ($40 US), it’s definitely an affordable splurge.


What do you think? I kind of want to pull a Lady Gaga and wear this to the club with fishnets, ankle booties, and a cat mask…but I won’t. ;-)

P.S. Thanks to Pippa of Clashing Time for sharing this with me!

Note: Please, please, please keep it PG-13. If your post contains nipples and/or genitals, don’t link to it here. Thanks!

Want free lingerie? Enter the Playful Promises Lingerie Giveaway!



Well, we’ve only two days until Christmas, and I’ve stopped writing my Christmas Lingerie Shopping Guides. The original plan was to post them right up until Dec. 25th, then I realized that even if you saw something you wanted, there wouldn’t be enough time to receive it before the holidays. No worries though…I plan on doing more in the future. Does anyone have a special request for the next lingerie shopping guide? Tell me! :-)
