Fireflies is a new to me store that I wanted to share for two main reasons:
- Everything is definitely sexy.
- Everything is priced at either $1L, $5L or $100L
If that’s got you interested, have a little lookie at a few of the options. My first pick was ‘Isobel’ for $100L, a black lace mini with two skirt options, and a sheer and less sheer styling. The dress comes complete with a matching shrug which caps the shoulders and covers the back, but it can be worn with your own overlayer or indeed none at all. The strapless dress has a scalloped bandeau bust, the stretch lace clinging to the body all the way down to the thighs. The choice of skirt is either a puffed overlayer or a skin-tight mini: team with simple stilettos or knee high boots and you’re good to go.
Even in its sheer form, Isobel is perfectly modest, although you may find people spend a little too much time trying to see just how much they can see. If you prefer, Isobel is also available in white and in red.
My biggest bargain was ‘Eden’, a short black party dress that is as seamless as it is strapless. Amazingly, this dress is priced at just $1L, and there is no reason whatsoever for not going and buying this, even if your inventory is more full than a greyhound that’s been locked overnight in a sausage factory. If you don’t already own a little black dress, this could easily be it: simply gathered down a central seam at the bust, with lace trim along the neckline, there are further crumples in the material over the belly and bottom for fabulous detail. The cheeky skirt is rather transparent and finished with lace for a girly feel: you want to own this dress because it’s gorgeous, and it won’t break the bank to do it.
Another great find was ‘Lyra’. This cross halterneck cuts low to the front, making the most of your assets. A diamante buckle sits between the breasts to decorate the central strap, thin cords creating a large X at the back. The same detail feature to the open front, catching at the back of the skirt and supporting its weight; the short and ruffled design has a mesh feel, and shorts are provided for modesty. You receive both the black and red versions for a mere $1L.
Finally from my selection is ‘Sexy Glam’ at $100L. This mini is perfect for clubbing, with halterneck crossing into under-studded strips that cover the chest, leading down to the open torso. The dress closes again beneath the belly button, falling into a ruffled mini skirt that has more super creased detail 
across the buttocks at the back. Like Isobel, this can also be worn as a tight dress, with flappy panel sitting between the legs to finish the skirt. I personally prefer the bigger skirt as there was a bit of inner leg smear when I pulled some of my usual poses, but you won’t have any problems if you’re slightly more ladylike.
I could have posted numerous other outfits, but I think this ought to be enough to prompt you to take a look for yourselves. Scoot down to Fireflies and have a browse through: I’m sure you’ll find some blinding bargains too.
