FASHION | Curvy Kate Smoothie Bra Review



curvy kate smoothie bra*
OK, so I am a sucker for Curvy Kate Bras! Firstly, they are beautiful and secondly I find they are a really good shape and very supportive. I wrote a blog post a while ago when Curvy Kate released the press release about the smoothie bra and when they came into stock I was so privileged to get sent out a sample (in black) as I have had my eye on it ever since they showed it to me at the blogger party they had earlier on this year!

It is a moulded cup, which is something I am not very used too, mainly because they don't often make moulded cups in a GG! However, now that I have tried it I am practically living in it and will definitely be buying it in the other available colours - a beautiful raspberry and a nude/blush colour.

I'm usually a 34G-GG in Curvy Kate bras depending on the style, but the smoothie came up a bit big on the band so I wear a 32GG. The bra is a great every day bra and subtly leopard print detailing is lovely. The bra starts at a 28" band.

FASHION | Curvy Kate Release World's First J Cup T-shirt Bra


Full-busted champions Curvy Kate have released the World’s first t-shirt bra that goes all the way up to a J cup.

In the past, big bosomed ladies have been subjected to a sea of ‘up to a G cup’ moulded T-shirt bras which leaves them very limited or even excluded from the popular style.

For years, fuller-figured girls have been crying out for ‘moulded’ cups. A recent Facebook poll revealed that only 14% of busty women have found a moulded cup bra that fits them well.
Curvy Kate’s customer feedback suggests that big boobs benefit from moulded cups for the coverage and smooth, rounded shape. With larger boobs the extra strength and structure of the bra mould supports and lifts the bust to give a gorgeous shape that looks incredible under T-shirts and tight clothing without compromising on fit or comfort.
With fit at the forefront of every product, Curvy Kate are passionate about producing pieces that curvy women enjoy wearing. Although the brand’s ranges always incorporate a fashion edge, Curvy Kate are keen to offer lingerie solutions for everyday wear – with the moulded cup being the first of many new innovations to be launched over the next few years.

Georgina Horne, curvy blogger of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust stated: 
“I’m a moulded bra addict but have struggled for years to find one which combines the perfect shape with the perfect fit. When you have bigger boobs it’s impossible to find a company which caters to larger cup sizes, and a moulded cup above a G is practically unheard of. To achieve the perfect T-shirt ready look, full-busted women often compromise either the shape or the fit – or even both! I’m delighted that Curvy Kate has brought out a bra that will cater to so many more women who long for the unrivalled smooth and sexy cleavage that only a moulded cup can provide.”

To satisfy both their customers who want a plain understated look and those yearning for something a bit interesting from their moulded bras they’ve designed the bra with a highly popular subtle black and slate leopard print.
Product Developer Adriana Olszewska continues, “Our Smoothie bra has been developed with the Curvy Kate customer in mind who looks for fashion as well as fit. The new moulded cup offers an amazing lift and gives a smooth curvy silhouette, and as goes up to a J cup it caters for many women who couldn’t find this smooth look before.”

The new Smoothie bra will retail at £29 and will be available from ASOS and Very from September 2012. The bra incorporates a two tone leopard print in black/slate, with cute silver centre pendant. It will be available through existing retailers and distributed worldwide.

FASHION | Curvy Kate Entice Bra Review


When I was at the Curvy Kate Blogger event I fell in love with this Entice set*. I never wear a padded bra because I usually want to minimize the size of my chest, but every now and then a girl needs something that makes here feel sexy.

At the moment with my weight loss I've got a limited amount of bras and clothes that fit me and to constantly replace my wardrobe is just not financially possible. This has left me feeling a bit down about my appearance, firstly the clothes I have are limited, because some have just got too big to wear and those that are wearable aren't necessarily the most flattering things.

Getting this Entice set, even though Joe is the only person who is going to see it, is going to give me some hidden confidence. I decided to get it with the matching thong, to make me feel even sexier, i'm usually a brief or shorts girl. Having tried the set on the bra fits perfectly, I instantly felt amazing! I got the 34 GG ( the same as I got for the replacement princess) because I think this one comes up a bit smaller than the others.

Also I just saw that you get £7 off a £30 spend at Brastop http://useth.at/bx7a  today (9/08/2012) with the code GAMES

FASHION | My Wedding Outfit


      Black leopard trimmed curvalicious bodycon dress



After months of worrying I have finally found a dress I can comfortably wear to my friends wedding. I set myself a weight target for the wedding and I'm only a couple of lbs off!

The dress is from the Star by Julien McDonald range at Debenhams and is really me! I'm known for being a leopard print wearer so this is perfect! It's 'classy' leopard print so I'm not risking rocking Kat Slater chic by accident!

Also it has covered my chest with out closing it up, I have to be careful with necklines as high ones can be very unflattering! The dress is also designed with curvy girls in mind so really compliments my shape!

I'm going to team with my nude Russell and Bromley sling backs or my black New Look wedges and flesh coloured tights. I think I'll be very light on the jewellery to avoid looking trashy.
Make up wise I'll go very simple with cats eye eyeliner, and a nude lip. I'm thinking 50s inspired hair, so pin curls and waves like Fearne Cottons hair in the pick above. Will post a picture for you from the day.

LIFESTYLE | Weekly Portrait #3


I promise one day I will wear make up in my weekly portrait! The sun is out today which is amazing, so hopefully it'll stay that way! Now I need to think about buying a few summer pieces. This week my younger sister is graduating and I am so proud of her so we are having a graduation dinner with a few family members. I'm also going to the Curvy Kate bloggers event this week so I will let you know how that goes! Have a good week :)
