Kix'ies!!!!!

I've found THE perfect thigh high stockings! You will never worry about your thighs being too big, that awkward roll down mid walk or having your garter un-clip in public!

Introducing the absolutely amazing KIX'IES!!! Kix'ies are a unique and brilliant brand of stockings that will never let you down. I've spent years lusting after the 'perfect' thigh high stocking but I've always avoided the standard stay up style as they have that awkward rubber that never grips.

Kix'ies offer you a hold that won't let you down and come in 4 unique sizes that will suit and stretch around your thigh. I will admit I do love my pins but hell, they are far from being skinny. I just measured the widest part and they are around 36 inches around. Most standard plus or queen sizes fit around the thigh but look floppy and loose around the rest of my leg. I tend to wear standard XL stockings these days and Kix'ies offer a product that fits my thigh and does not look loose or too big around the rest of the leg.

Ally: Flirty flashback to the 1940s polka dot - $18.95

Marvel High Waisted Knickers (no longer online) from Licorice and Cream

These stocking are perfect for the true vintage lover and can be worn all year round. I'm a sucker for polka dot stockings and these there best I've tried to date! The thickness and strength of the stocking is amazing. 

I found that wearing my Kix'ies higher on my thigh have me the best support. When placed lower they felt a little more loose. I'm wonder what the next size down would be like as I'm wearing a size D (refer to the size chart at the end of the post). 

Dana Lynn: Sleek, slender, and totally ribbed - $18.95

I originally thought that the polka dot style would be my standout favourite but I'm absolutely smitten with these pure black ribbed stockings. A winter classic with a sexy twist. These are so soft and a dream to wear. I can't wait to rock these more in the cooler months. 

Tiffany: It doesn't have to glitter to be a diamond - $18.95

Now for the final pair, the very funky Tiffany style, which is a diamond cross over print perfect for pattern lovers and plaid fiends. I love how the stocking print and the top of the stocking class but work perfectly together at the same time. 

Looking for more styles? You can find the Kix'ies online store here, facebook, instagram and twitter.  

For size help I've attached the size chart bellow. 

Now go forth and buy every pair! Trust me they are the best thigh high stockings you will ever purchase. 

Blogger Bingo!

Being a part of the Nuffnang network, I get invited to some brilliant events throughout the year and last week was my stand out favourite event for 2013 - Blogger Bingo!

The event was held at The Cullen, a boutique hotel located in Prahran, Melbourne, which is one of 3 in the Art Series hotels. The Cullen is inspired by and features lashings of original artwork and prints by Australian contemporary artist, Adam Cullen. 

On arrival, I was shown up to the roof top with an amazing sundeck and offered a glass of bubbles. The view is stunning and as the night progressed and the sun went down, it continued to sparkle. 

After saying hello to current blogger friends and meeting some new amazing writers, it was time to settle in and learn how to play bingo. 

 

So armed with a red marker (chosen purely on seat location and that it matched my dress) I was ready to rock! This was my first time and I absolutely loved it. 

Our host for the evening was the always amazing Candice DeVille of Super Kawaii Mama, looking an absolute bombshell in her Lavender Monica Dress from Pinup Girl Clothing. Candice did an amazing job as host and made us giggle all night long. 

While getting a little confused about the rules of playing the blue card I accidentally jumped up with a BINGO only to find out that I needed to get the whole section to win. Well luckily a few calls later I got to say it once more and won! My prize: a fashion pack from a local boutique and a double cooking course at the South Melbourne Market. 

Once the games were played and all the winners had scored their loot, it was time to announce best dressed. I must admit when they called out my name I was shocked it was completely unexpected but then again, Deadly Dames dresses always tend to get a lot of attention. My winning outfit was my Deadly Dames Courtesan Dress in fetish print from Pinup Girl clothing paired with my Betty Bolero from Heartbreaker Clothing. 

My prize was an amazing piece of artwork from Australian artist Mike McLean named Exhale. This stunning and huge painting is amazing! I'm so thankful that I won, it's really lovely to know people thought I looked good that night. 

Armed with a goodie bag, one bingo prize and a huge painting I was a little worried about catching a cab but luckily Nuffnang had teamed up with Uber for this event and offered $40 off any trip home! Now how could I say no to that? 

Uber are a new and super easy to use chauffeur service that has just arrived in Melbourne. With their easy-to-use iPhone app, you can order a car to your location, find out exactly who will be driving you and ride in luxury to your destination. The application also has a fare estimator so you can find out a roundabout price for your ride and be sure of prices. By simply adding your debit or credit card to the application you will be billed shortly after your ride and a receipt sent to your email address. 

I really enjoyed this service and found the prices were great, I'm sure a taxi home would have cost the same if not more. The driver was also very helpful when it came to fitting my large artwork safely in the back seat.
