I recently thought about wearing this lovely Bodystocking for my office Xmas Party . . . but in the end felt it wasn’t quite appropriate.
However I’ve had so many messages for more photos that I thought it just might be appropriate for Boobday Friday.
Boobday is a body-positive meme where women share images of their bodies in order to show that there is beauty in all of us. With confidence comes power and with power comes confidence.
Be sure to visit . . . and why not join-in . . . Boobday sharing, this and every Friday, by clicking on Hyacinth’s lovely cleavage below!
I know it’s not quite Christmas yet but the office party is next week . . . so I’ve been spending a little time today trying to choose which outfit I should wear.
Perhaps I’ll find more inspiration from tapping the Sinful Sunday lips below!
I don’t actually wear Panties on holiday . . . in fact for most of my vacation, as you may have noticed . . . I don’t wear very much at all !!!
But there is, quite surprisingly, a wonderful shop in the main town which always seems to have an amazing collection of, very very cheap, sexy Panties. I’m not sure how “authentic” some of the brand-labelling is, but they always seem nicely made, and fun to wear!
So, it has become a holiday ritual every year to journey into town to browse through the new range, and stock-up on supplies.
I immediately wash them, of course, before packing them away in my suitcase to bring home, because . . . one must always wash, and dry, new knickers before wearing for the first time, don’t you agree?
This weeks theme at Wicked Wednesday is “Authentic” . . . whilst over at Food For Thought Friday it is “Rituals” . . . and you can read more on both topics by clicking on the buttons below.
I’ve had a lot of fun over the past few weekends wearing-in the set of Rubber Wrist and Ankle Cuffs, from Honour.co.uk, that I reviewed here several weeks ago. By “wearing-in” I don’t mean that I’ve been wearing them myself of course . . . rather I’ve used them on several of my subs during some fun sessions at my favourite chambers . . . and they’ve proved very useful indeed!
Now I’ve always loved the fabulous range of clothing and accessories available from Honour, particularly their amazingly priced latex range and their wonderful selection of body-stockings. And over the past four years or so I’ve purchased, or had purchased for me, lots of clothing items, and even my wonderful thigh-high red boots which I am so often asked about . . . from the fabulous Honour website.
So when I was invited to visit their Central London shop in Waterloo recently, I just couldn’t resist !!!
Located in a lovely little street called Lower Marsh, it is literally just around the corner from Waterloo station, so really easy to get to by tube, rail or bus. Instantly recognisable from the distinctive Honour logo above the display window, one has to ring the bell to enter, but don’t be put-off, that just adds to the intimacy and personal-nature of the shop. We were immediately greeted by a lovely smiling young lady who opened the door for us and welcomed us in.
The shop was Honour’s founding store, opened 30 years ago, and inside is like an Aladdin’s cave of wall-to-wall garments, neatly displayed on impressive hanger-racks on each side of the long galley-shaped ground-floor. The actual sight of so many wonderful and colourful items was almost overwhelming at first, but actually everything is so neatly arranged in size and style . . . and the two lovely young ladies Amy and Anita so charming and helpful . . . that I quickly felt completely at ease, and able to indulge myself in browsing from rack to rack.
The ground-floor largely features Honour’s Women’s Wear with a wonderful array of PVC and Leather, Latex and Wetlook, Basques & Corsets, Dresses, Tops, Skirts, Bras, Catsuits, Leggings & Trousers, Jackets, Stockings & Suspenders, Body-Stockings, Knickers and Lingerie.
I was in my element . . . and soon had several hangers-worth of items that I simply had to try on.
The changing rooms have been cleverly and stylishly designed to make the best of the available space with ample mirrors and lighting . . . and Amy and Anita were both wonderfully patient in taking turns with helping me with the zips and buttons, in-between serving and helping other customers at the same time, and advising on the most suitable size to best fit my bumps and curves.
Putting my preferred selections to one side . . . so that I could come back to them and be sure that I had made the right choices . . . I then led Hubby upstairs which houses the Men’s Wear and Bondage items and “toys”.
Now as you can probably imagine, I already have quite an extensive collection of restraints and impact implements, but a fabulous thorny-stemmed Riding Crop(see below) quickly caught my eye, and a few short gulps from Hubby as I tapped it gently against the palm of his hand.
Just like the ground floor every space is, stylishly, packed with an amazing array of clothing and some very interesting dildos, vibrators and accessories.
I enjoyed browsing . . . and teasing Hubby with some rather large insertables . . . but decided to stick with my new crop, and instructed him to follow me back downstairs.
As I mentioned earlier, Honour do have a fabulous website which is perfectly laid-out, easy to use and categorizes their complete and comprehensive range of wonderful items. And there is a helpful touch-screen tablet on a stand near the downstairs counter, which makes it easy to search for specific items one may be interested in, or have seen on the website earlier.
But for me, as you might imagine, I much prefer being “hands-on” in everything I do . . . so nothing beats being able to browse in a real shop, to touch and feel . . . and of course to try things on. And it was nice to see other couples, browsing and purchasing whilst we were there, who obviously felt the same way.
And of course, the helpful and knowledgeable attention and advice from Amy and Anita made my shopping feel even more special . . . so I really do recommend you visit and experience some Honour for yourself.
The shop at Lower Marsh (SE1 7AB) is open Monday to Friday from 10.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on Sundays). There is also a store in Watford (WD18 7EN), with directions to both on their website.
The Modesty Disclaimer: I was given a voucher for my honest and un-biased review here. But I loved my time in the shop so much that I spent much more . . . or should I say, I made Hubby spend much more . . . because after-all a lady deserves spoiling occasionally doesn’t she !!!
It’s always lovely to receive a surprise gift in the post . . . it makes one feel special and nice . . . especially when the gift is as lovely as this Black Net Body Stocking!!!
Normally the gifts are followed, or even preceded, by an email message from the sender. But this lovely present arrived recently without any notification before
. . . or since . . . from the person who sent it.
So, as it as made me feel very sinful whenever I’ve slipped it on, I thought I would model it here today by way of a “thank you”.
To see lot’s more sinfulness this Sunday just gently, and respectfully please,
kiss the lips below!
Xxx – K
P.s. – More “thank you’s” await for the sender of this lovely gift. Just email to let me know if it was you . . . and I shall reply by return!!!
I know we are all comfortable with buying clothes and accessories on the internet nowadays, but I still find it’s nice to have a personal recommendation or to physically see and touch and feel something. At least it is for me . . . and especially so when it comes to my latex and lingerie.
I love latex, but for me it is just one of those items that I just have to see and feel so that I know it is right for me. It always looks so pretty and stylish in those on-line photographs with all those slim and shapely young models. But however much I may like the look, I am never confident if it would actually be “right” for me. So it was wonderful to discover that Honour had a booth at the show . . . and this “Glamour Corselette” immediately caught my eye.
Lilly, one of the charming young Honour girls, was extremely helpful and suggested a size that she assured me would be the perfect fit. And I’m happy to say she was right . . . it just felt so wonderful to slide into and I just loved the stylish little bow-tie. Sometimes latex can be difficult for me to easily get in and out of (my bumps are not in the right places!) but with a liberal sprinkling of talcum powder, or my “special latex-friendly body moisturiser”, I’ve never had any problems when I’ve worn it since. The shoulder straps are adjustable and it has underwired bust cups which just seem to fit so comfortably and make it feel as though it could have been custom-made especially for me.
Hubby was transfixed by lots of the other items on display . . . but I told him I WANTED “this one” . . . and I received lots of nice compliments when I wore it out to one of our club-visits recently. It has suspender clips attached at the hem (I have them tucked-up here for these photographs) so I wore it with simple black stockings.
And then imagine my delight when just two stalls along from Honour, I discovered the absolutely wonderful lingerie and swimwear of Buttress & Snatch.
I just LOVE clothing that is different, and fun, and stylish!!! And it’s not very often that I find all three of those elements combined. But finding the Buttress & Snatch stall was like discovering a treasure trove of all sorts of wonderfully colourful and intriguing garments that made me just want to stop and feel them all.
Hubby’s initial reaction was that the clothing seemed “out-of-place” at such an event and he wanted to lead me straight past. But I exclaimed that they “were all so sexy” . . . and I immediately fell in love with a pair of beautiful black lace knickers with a tassel-skirt attachment. “These are lovely, so unusual” I showed him.
Rachel, the wonderfully friendly owner, explained that the garments were all custom-made . . . normally to order, and that this was the first time she had exhibited at a show of this nature.
I was completely enthralled and enchanted by so many of the unique items hanging from her stall . . . they had an almost vintage, retro look about them, yet every item seemed to exclaim “I am a one-off, I am yours, no-one else will look like this”. Rachel explained that her company had been making lingerie for almost 15 years and that her garments had been worn by people like Madonna, Neneh Cherry, Kate Upton and Kate Moss.
But I wanted those knickers . . . before any other Kates (or Katies) came along!
And they are so lovely. They have this wonderful tassle-skirt which can be worn at the front (see my picture above) for those more “modest” moments . . . or reversed to cover one’s bottom (as in my photo below) and display the delightful sheer black lace at the front, and . . . encourage me to wiggle my bottom more!
I just LOVE them . . . they make me feel special . . . and unique, whenever I wear them.
And even better for me having met Rachel, albeit very briefly, I immediately felt at ease in her company and knew I was talking to someone who has a passion for what they do. I love her story (Our Way) and the history of her Buttress and Snatch.
I’m sure I will ordering more from Rachel’s sewing machine very soon.
So, if like me, you like something a little different and unusual . . . I certainly do recommend you explore both of these exciting Latex and Lingerie companies.
The Modesty Rider:
I realise, of course, that there are already thousands of long-established Sex Toy Reviewers and Review sites . . . most of whom will be far more adapt at explaining all the technical details and specifications of things. But for me sexy clothes and lingerie . . . and sexy toys . . . are all about adding a little fun and excitement to things. So that is how I tend to approach my reviews and videos!!! Just to explain “how it was for me” in a fun, and light-hearted, way without taking things too seriously! Chances are that if something makes me giggle and tingle and feel good, it will score higher on my Modesty Rating.
