#killedinactionrocks

Killed in Action is based in Portugal. Owned and operated single handedly by Kia. Her love for lingerie vibes on the same wavelength as mine. She is a curator for brands such as Opaak, The Model Traitor, DSTM. Unapologetic strong sometimes bondage expired for women by women.

Her IG feed transcends feminism sex appeal and the ownership of ones' expression of intimacy through lingerie fashion.

I felt so blessed to be the 3rd place winner of her latest giveaway contest. 150€ was awared to the 1st place lucky winner. And 100€ to 2nd and 3rd (me ❤).

I hope her generosity will be returned a hundred folds. The genuine love she shows for each pieces she has chosen to offer in her shop reveals her strength and character, and also her passion for empowering women

As soon as she contacted me to announce i had won it felt like i gained a friend. Delivery of the prized package could have been challenging and hazardous but her  support and communication turned it into anticipation.

And when my ignition bodysuit arrived home. I poured myself a glass of rum, lighted some candles and lounge in awe in this unbelievable piece from La fille d'O.

The thinnest softest black opaque mesh-like material, 2 long shoulder straps that start from above the breast and meet in the middle of your spine, mid back. The front is very classic low on the hips and revealing low on the chest, giving side boobs a gorgeous sight. The waist fits like a glove because of the attachment underneath the back straps. And then this is where angels sang... the back

The design completely changes. Low rises are heightened, classic becomes risqué, opaque opens to revealing and all possible because of the detailed and genius architecture paired to the female body.

I knew i was going to love ignition. Im very thankful to Kia and Killed In Action for her gift, allowing me to afford this magnificent piece. And for introducing to new designers and aspirations in this wonderful world of lingerie

Girl with a Pearl Thong

BRACLI & G BLACK  S
Bracli Lingerie

(Giveaway prized given by Brigade Mondaine)

If you are a like me, a lingerie addict who buys her own undergarments and works hard for her money, a giveaway is a dream. And sometimes dreams come true.

Brigade Mondaine, a Paris based lingerie curator who ships internationally, was having one. They have incredible deals in their sale section, and delivery is quick with no extra custom fees. I have been watching them for years for they hold such a wide range of luxurious lingerie brands. This is how i discovered Ruban Noir and Opaak amongst others. But more precisely this is how i became personally acquainted with Bracli Lingerie.

The giveaway contest was offering a lucky winner a beautiful pearl thong. I presumed a new sensory experience: a thong able to give clitoral stimulation as the pearl string attaches from the pubic bone to the tail bone. A high waist lace knickers with a satin bow in the back to attach (or detach) a naughty precious string.

Brigade Mondaine' representative contacted me via Instagram DM. A lingerie miracle had just happened, i was so very excited. 3 days later the precious package was delivered to my box.

Rapid, eco-friendly, luxurious and naughty. A personalized love note written in gold, a satin sachet containing the  item and a gift signature choker. It looked and felt expensive. I was in heaven. A lingerie gift.

Instead of wondering how this pearl thong worked, i tied it up and tried it on right away. omg! A label is needed: "Wear with caution". Stimulation can not be denied. Just the sight of it leaves no one unaffected.  White pearls soaked in flesh. Made for love. Self love or the kind that bask in kink and class.

But i still wondered about the name. I experienced firsthand the arousal and sexual excitement, but why the G mention?

So i searched and found that from the creators:

finding-your-g-spot

I was shocked and intrigued but thats material for another story

Lingerie has proven itself as such a learning tool. Teaching my preferences in  tactile sensation, my desire process and the pleasure of investing in myself, and also the intense intimacy that results by daring to nourish my passions.

Thank you Brigade Mondaine i hope i discover more epic lingerie with you.

Kayleigh Peddie, 
(Montréal Québec, Canada)

Lingerie is something i tease myself with. I go in shops, i lurk online, i read blogs and i search for designs ive envisioned on my own. I take my time, i wait to feel that burning sensation of desire. When i purchase it has usually been months (sometimes years) since i laid eyes on it.

It is the case with the petra garter tank from Kayleigh Peddie. 

I discovered Kayleigh Peddie's lingerie when i started recognizing lingerie companies that gave social media love and support to their fans/customers whether they had 30K or 300 followers. And when i understood the designer worked from my hometown i heard angels sing.

Handmade to order ethical fashion and edgily erotic i watched 3 collections unveil before i took the plunge. And finally ordered the white fishnet ensemble i had been dreaming about. But also some tie straps black mesh and a neon green tiger that she had just dropped... 

It took 6 business days from "your order has been accepted" to "your order has been shipped". 

No fancy box, just a black soft envelope, with inside my 4 items wrapped in black silk paper, their signature look on a sticker-stamp crowning it and 4 cards-postcards giving you visuals of what is to be revealed.

I've come a long way since my first review. I still touch the fibers and rejoice (when available) in the quality of the fabric. But now i also look in the craftsmanship, each hem, fold, the finish, the lining, the symmetry, the adjustability and with  Kayleigh Peddie that was just the préliminaires. 

The fit feels perfect. Im a 36a and the medium bralette and garter tank are just snug enough to feel the pleasure of wearing the beauties without leaving elastic branding so often occurring with mesh, microfibers, bamboo jersey and fishnet. 

My waist/hip ratio has unusual proportions. It very seldom fits both without adjustable straps on the bottom but this time everyone is happy. My waist is 27 inches, around the hip bones makes 33 and at the widest makes 39. The Small Anja and basic cut thong fit like gloves. Not just for time of a lingerie photoshoot but a whole day and night of sitting and moving around, dancing and having to look (and feel) our best. 

Im usually a black or nude lingerie girl. I have an imposing red and black tattoo and fear clashing with unorthodox patterns or colors. So i was the first to be surprised about the neon yellow green tiger print i ordered. 

First, the Anja thong. The cut is so flattering. My legs feel endless, my hip bones are free and the V shape is excellent curve enhancing architecture. The black mesh is very see through but the show stopper is the animal print. From the pelvic bone to the tail, the goods are covered with it: a funky wild untamed feline!! And thats just how it made me feel. Highligthed... Wild and free! Dangerous and fun. Sexy. With a secret smile... but oh! sooo very sexy.

So much so, it took me 24hours to order the missing pieces to complete my set. yeah i (was) am hooked. and that was only the thong.

The Dreamer bra fits like charm. its Sheer to a provocative degree. long bows falling from the shoulders romantically with a rose between the breast. I chose my rose mine black. it was green leaves. matches incredibly well with the untamed animal bellow... but i ordered her matching side-tie thong with black roses again so combinations will be wild romantic and limitless ;)

Kayleigh Peddie white fishnet is, in my collection, the softest and most comfortable one by far. Its in the composition of the fabric (90% nylon, 10% spandex). And the design and garter buckles themselves. The later are gold plated and very small. But sturdy enough to hold up cotton/wool stockings. The adjustability of the garment is also wide and strong i.e. it didn't loosened up after excessive wear or movement which is often the case with so many companies.

The basic high cut thong is just as perfect and is lined with a bamboo jersey soft as a cloud. And together they make this new entity, almost a wonderful body, which must be close to how the Petra body must feel. 

I can't wait for the Ava crop top, the Estelle garter belt and dreamer thong to get home. I have a feeling the match and mix possibilities will be endless.... but also with other companies like hopeless and the end...

This is the beginning of a beautiful lingerie adventure. Thank you Kayleigh Peddie for making this girl feel, not only dreamy comfortable, but sizzling in hotness and able to express sensuality with confidence and personality.

And that to me is very special and something money can't buy...
