It’s Time for the Semi-Annual What Katie Did Sale!

Like the Agent Provocateur sale or the Wolford sale, the What Katie Did sale is one of the highlights of my year.  What Katie Did is one of my favorite places to purchase vintage and retro-styled lingerie, and in fact, my very favorite garter belt (the only one that makes me forget I’m even wearing a garter belt) is from them.  This year’s sale has a lot of corsets and corset-related accessories on tap, so if you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy one…now it is it.  As usual, I’ve put a few of my favorite looks from the sale below.

Have you bought anything from What Katie Did?  I’d love to hear what you think of the brand, good or bad, in the comments.

P.S. I know I’ve been around a lot less than usual lately.  Chronic computer trouble & an extra-busy life away from the blog has consumed by time, but I expect to be up and running at 100% here again very soon.  Thank you for sticking by me.  :)

The Lingerie Addict 2-Year Anniversary Giveaway!

Release the balloons!  Throw the confetti!  Hang the streamers!  It’s my 2 year anniversary!

(Can you tell I’m excited?)

When I started blogging 2 years ago, I had no idea I’d still be writing now.  My life has done a complete 180° turn since 2008, and in some ways, my lingerie addiction has been the only constant.  But you didn’t come here for my bio.  You came here for the lingerie giveaway.  Right?

My dear, awesome, fantastically wonderful readers…you have the opportunity to win the following:

It’s the brand new Jolie lingerie set from Kiss Me Deadly.  Aside from the fact that this vintage pink satin bra, panty, and garter belt is undeniably gorgeous…it’s not even released yet.  Which means that if you win this giveaway, you’ll be one of the first people in the world to ever own these pieces.

But that’s not all!  If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll also get the following items from Kiss Me Deadly’s permanent collection–Vargas girdle dresses in two colorways–peach (brand new!) & black, along with the classic Van Doren garter belt.  Plus…you get a pair of stockings so you can start wearing your pretties right away.  All in all, that’s over $300 worth of some of the best lingerie in the world.

In the immortal words of Kojak, “Who loves ya, baby?”  ;-)

So…how can you win?  Get your 5 entries this way:

1) Tell me what you love about lingerie.  Is it the way it feels against your skin? The way your significant other responds to it?  The jolt of confidence it gives as you’re walking down the street?  I wanna know!

2) Sign up for the Kiss Me Deadly mailing list or fan Kiss Me Deadly on Facebook.  That’s the best way to find out when Catherine’s new collections (including the Jolie set and limited edition Vargas corselette she’s giving away here) will be available for purchase. 

3) Re-tweet the giveaway!  Use the following message so I can keep track:  RT @stockingsaddict–Win over $300 worth of luxury lingerie from @kissmedeadlier!  Click the link to find out how: http://su.pr/1uzh09  

4) Sign up for my lingerie newsletter.  I promise to never, ever spam you.  I also promise to give you exclusive, addictive content that will never, ever appear on the blog.  It’s a win-win!

5) Blog about the giveaway!  Make sure you include both a link to this blog entry and to Kiss Me Deadly’s website, and don’t forget to put a link to the post in your comment when you do.

Please leave a separate comment for each of your five entries (I can’t guarantee I’ll count them all otherwise).  Giveaway is open internationally and ends 4/14/10 at 11:59 p.m. PST.  Winner will be chosen via random.org on 4/15/10.  Good luck, and thanks so much for reading The Lingerie Addict!

A Lingerie Addict Exclusive: Preview Pics from Kiss Me Deady’s New Collections!

The very lovely Catherine of Kiss Me Deadly just sent over a few photos from her new lines set to debut in Summer and Autumn/Winter of 2010.  I am an unabashed fan of Kiss Me Deadly’s classy retro lingerie, and I can’t wait until her new collections are available.  What’s your favorite piece?  I’m already in love with that black silk teddy (third from bottom)…ooh la la!

P.S. Catherine also wanted me to pass along the following message:  

None of these are on sale yet, but bringing in the new, exciting pieces is

dependent upon us selling the slightly less new ones.  If you buy any Kiss
Me Deadly item at La Magia over the next two weeks, you’re automatically
entered into a draw for £100 of Kiss Me Deadly lingerie.  You can also
help immensely by buying end-of-line stock from the Hepburn and Leigh sale.”

Lingerie Giveaway: Kiss Me Deadly L’Amour Corset Garter Belt

Love lingerie? Then you’re gonna love this giveaway!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to host this contest on my blog. Kiss Me Deadly is one of my most fave luxury brands. In fact, I’ve written more posts about KMD than I have about almost any other lingerie company.

Why can’t I stop talking about them? Simply put, I believe that Kiss Me Deadly makes some of the best lingerie out there. Their pieces are classy, fashionable, and, most importantly, wearable. I own pretty much the entire line from this lingerie company, and I love it all.

Enough of my babbling. On to the giveaway!

Dear readers, you all have the opportunity to win the freshly-debuted, limited-edition L’Amour Waist Cincher. This piece retails for £65.00 or $105.92 USD. Made of black lace over black mesh with black velvet trim, this cincher is steel boned which means it give you the waist reduction and hourglass shaping of a corset (as opposed to a girdle). It’s also available in four sizes: S, M, L, and XL.

Excited yet? Me too!

I want everyone to have as many opportunities as possible to win, so you can have up to five entries in this contest:

1) Get your first entry by simply leaving a relevant comment on this post. Easy as pie!

2) Earn a second entry by visiting the Kiss Me Deadly website and telling me what other item of lingerie you love.

3) Want a third entry? Add me to your Blogroll, subscribe to my RSS Feed, or become a Google Follower!

4) For a fourth entry, friend me via Twitter!

5) For a fifth and final entry, post about the giveaway on your Twitter or blog!

Please leave a separate comment for each entry so I can accurately count them all. Giveaway ends 12/19/09 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Giveaway is open to U.S. and non-U.S. residents. Winner will be chosen via Random Number Generator on 12/20/09.

Good luck and I can’t wait to read your entries!
