All My Must-Have Picks in One Place: Follow Me on LTK

Welcome back

Today's post is a shameless plug, I was going to apologise for this but then, if I don't plug my own things, who will? So, this is a shameless plug post about my LTK account. 

LTK stands for Like To Know It, and it's an app and a website where I and lots of other creators (I hate that word almost as much as influencer) share the links from videos, blog posts, or social media posts where we share certain items with you, such as clothing, beauty products, and homeware. Basically, anything I share with you will be on my LTK account.

For example, I post a haul on my Instagram account and put the links to the things I've shared in that haul on my LTK account. I also share other things, such as outfit ideas, gift guides and gift ideas, favourites, and lots more. I share beauty, fashion, homeware, pet supplies, and much more with a direct link to the products. 

Below are two examples of a couple of posts I have on my LTK account, these are festive outfit ideas. So, if you like the red jumper in the first photo, you can click the image below the main image, and it'll take you directly to that jumper, so you can buy it if you like. LTK is an affiliate programme, meaning if you do buy anything from my links, I will make a few pence in commission, but it is only pence, I'm not about to become rich from this account. 

So, that is my LTK account and what it's all about, I have so many different posts on there, and I share lots of things there that I don't share on any of my other platforms. You can follow me on there too, and if you would like to, that would be very kind and much appreciated. It is hard to build a following on LTK, and I am 10 followers away from 100, so it means a lot to me when I get a new follower. 

And all that's left for me to say is, if you would like to check out my LTK account, you can find it HERE and thank you so much in advance if you do. 

If you're reading this and already follow me on LTK, thank you so much.

The Strapless Bra Struggle: Testing 50+ Options to Find 'The One'

Welcome back, 

I'm unsure if it's just me, but I thought finding a strapless bra would be quite an easy thing to do. 

How wrong I was! 

After buying some clothes for my summer holiday, I realised I needed to buy a couple of strapless bras to wear under some of my outfits and decided nude and black bras would be the best option. Since I thought this would be relatively easy, having had a virtual bra fitting (more on that on the blog soon) not too long ago, I ordered a few strapless bras in both nude and black from different companies. 

Something to point out is that I do 99% of my shopping online, I have multiple health issues and am disabled, so trying on clothes in-store is a nightmare and something I avoid. So, all the bras I tried were bought online from various websites. 

My Search Begins: 

I tried multiway bras, bras with removable straps, and plain old strapless bras that don't come with any straps and all different brands including stores' own brands and prices, ranging from £12.00 up to around £50 for each bra. 

So as you can see, I gave it a good test. 

I bought all the bras in the same size at first and when the first lot of bras arrived I was hopeful I would find at least one because there were quite a few bras to try. How wrong I was, some of them were badly gaping at the top of the cup, some tight around my back and some loose around my back. After discussions with my daughter Alicia who helped me try the bras on, and online research, I decided to try the bras I liked the best out of a bad bunch in different back and cup sizes. 

Unfortunately, when they arrived, none of the bras were right, although I had changed the sizes of the band and cups according to the bras I tried from the first package, they still weren't right at all and the main issue I had seemed to be gaping at the top of the cup. 

As we get older, we lose breast tissue, fat and mammary glands from our breasts, meaning we don't have as much fullness at the top of our breasts, this was definitely the issue I was having, so it was back to the drawing board.

Several bras later, and still no luck, I was losing the will to live and had no idea what I was going to do, since not wearing a bra wasn't an option. I continued with my search and tried on many more bras but with each package that arrived, I felt less and less hopeful as nothing was right for me and I couldn't even try to modify any of the bras using "tit tape" or padding, I was at a total loss. 

Finally, I May Be In Luck:

A few days later, I decided to have yet another browse online, I visited the Marks & Spencer website and had another look. While searching, I came across the Seamless Non-Wired Bandeau Bra, which came in 4 different colours, White, Black, Rose Quartz and Topaz. Rose Quartz is a pale nude, and Topaz is a deeper nude, and the bra was priced at £12.00.

                                                          Seamless Non-Wired Bandeau Bra - Rose Quartz

                                                  Seamless Non-Wired Bandeau Bra - Rose Quartz

The bras came in sizes:

Small - 8 - 10

Medium - 12 - 14

Large - 16 -18

Extra Large - 20 - 22

I ordered two sizes as I was unsure, so I ordered a large and an extra large in the shade Rose Quartz. To be brutally honest, I wasn't expecting much, I'd read the reviews, which were mixed but more good than bad and hoped for the best. 

The bras arrived, the size large looked quite small but felt stretchy, so I tried both sizes on. The size large, which is 16 to 18, was difficult to pull down, I need assistance with dressing, and my daughter found it difficult to get it on and off me, so we tried the extra large one, which is a size 20 to 22. I wear a size 18 in clothes, and if it's sized in small to large, etc. I wear whichever size is 16 to 18, I've found it's usually large in most places.  

I definitely felt the extra large was more comfortable and fitted the best, and Alicia agreed. The bra came with padding at the front, which can be removed if you prefer, I kept that in. The bra felt nice and soft and was very comfortable and gave me good support too, which did surprise me but I was so pleased, so much so, that I ordered another nude and two black and returned the size large. 

The Wear Test:

I didn't have time to try out the bras at home before going on my holidays, so I just packed them in good faith and crossed my fingers that they would be ok, I took both of the nude and both of the black bras so had 4 in total. 

The first outfit I wore one of the bras with was a maxi dress that had thin spaghetti-style straps, and it looked fine, I wore it for the full evening and it was absolutely fine, it didn't slip or roll down, and the pads stayed where they were, and it felt comfortable, and most importantly, I felt supported, and it looked fine under my dress. My dress was pale in colour, with a white background with pastel flowers, and the bra was invisible, even though it is a ribbed material, it didn't show at all.

I wore all 4 of the bras on holiday under various outfits, including strapless dresses and tops, one-shoulder tops and dresses/tops with thin straps, and they were perfect, all my outfits looked fine, and the bras were comfortable and supportive, they were perfect! 

I plan to have a "holiday outfits" post on my Instagram soon, so if you'd like to check that out, keep an eye on my Instagram, which you will find HERE.

Overall:

I honestly cannot believe that after ordering and trying on over 50 strapless bras, I found one for £12.00 that is perfect for me and provides everything I wanted in a strapless bra, mostly comfort and support. The bras have been washed and washed really well, too. The pads do move around in the wash and can sometimes come out, but they are easy to pop back into place. 

I can't recommend the Seamless Non-Wired Bandeau Bra enough, it's a 10/10 for me.

If you would like to try the bra, you can find it on the M&S website for £12.00 HERE and if the Topaz colour is the colour you need, that is on offer at the moment for £7.50 HERE. 

Have you tried the M&S bra? Which is your favourite strapless bra and do you have a recommendation? Let me know in the comments below.

Fashion Post - A Casual OOTD

All the items featured in this post were bought by myself. 

When I asked on Instagram recently what kind of blog posts people wanted to see more of, fashion posts was high up on the list, so today I have an OOTD or outfit of the day post for you, it's a casual outfit and one I always get compliments on when I wear it so I thought I would share it with you.

I will show you the outfit and then give details of where everything is from, and I will include links where you can buy the items should you wish and if the items are no longer available, I will find similar items for you, these will all be in both plus size and non plus size sizes. 

The Outfit

The outfit is simple and comfortable and can be worn for any occasion, it's casual but not so dressed down it's too casual,  I have worn it for many different occasions, such as lunch or dinner out, shopping or visiting friends and family.

If I am carrying a bag I usually wear a nude/pink and grey toned handbag or sometimes a fuchsia pink one to add a bit of colour and it looks great, but you could wear any bag to compliment the outfit. I have seen a few bright yellow/lime yellow bags floating around online that I love and I would definitely wear a bag that colour with this outfit too.


Details & Where To Buy Including Links

Jacket 

My jacket is unfortunately unavailable but I found similar ones in New Look - via ASOS (£29.99) available from the regular range in sizes 4 to 18.

And I found this one in  New Look Curve (£29.99) in their plus size range, Curves, in sizes 20 to 32.

Jeans

My jeans are available from Next (£25.00) and are available in different colours and sizes range from 6R to 24R.

I also found these in Yours Clothing (£23.99) sizes 16 to 28/30 depending on leg length.

And I found these in River Island Curve (40.00) in sizes 18 to 28.


T.Shirt

The exact White t-shirt is unfortunately unavailable but this very similar one is available from Next (£8.00) and is available in sizes 6 to 26.


Shoes

I also found these Converse dupes in New Look (£9.99) and they are available in 13 different colours too, bargain!

And Thats A Wrap!

I hope you have enjoyed this fashion post, I am going to post more fashion content on my blog, some posts will include a mirror photograph like this one and some will have a more posed photograph, unfortunately I am not in a position to go out and shoot several outfit changes in one day with a professional photographer, that is the main reason I haven't posted many fashion posts on my blog but I had such a kind reception on Instagram to my outfit photographs and so many asked for more fashion posts on here, so hopefully you'll be happy with them.

Thank you for reading and please let me know if there are any specific fashion related posts you'd like to see on here.

A Winter Fashion Haul

I haven't written a fashion haul for quite some time so I thought I would share some of the things I picked up to wear over the winter months. I actually bought all the things in this haul way back in September and October but they are all still available and I thought that since Christmas is upon us (2 more sleeps) if you do like something I share, it may be a little cheaper now or after Christmas Day. I will link all the items I share and tell you the sizes they are available in as I always find this helpful with fashion hauls. I hope you like what I've been wearing the last few months. 

Also I find it really hard to take photographs of clothing so if you would like to see any of the items on, drop me a comment and I will pop pics up for you. 

Primark

Denim Pinafore  - £12.00 - Primark

Denim Pinafore  - £12.00 - Primark

I saw this pinafore on the lovely Pam's Instagram and loved it, I have to say she looked a lot better in it that I do but I really liked it. My daughter Cole found it for me and picked it up and I love it, I looks lovely with tights and boots and a plain or striped top underneath. I went for a size 20 in it and it fits perfectly, it is available in sizes 4-20 and also available in black and burgundy too, the burgundy is corduroy and not denim.

ASOS

Rainbow Stripe Maxi Dress - Was £25.00 - Now £18.50 - ASOS

When I bought this dress I was really unsure if it would look nice on but I loved it on the model, it arrived just before I went on holiday in August but was part of their Autumn/Winter new range so I picked it up with that in mind. The first time I wore it I got so many compliments and still do everytime I wear it. It looks lovely on and now the weather has turned colder I haven't worn it as much but will definitely be rocking it again when Spring comes and now it's in the sale it's a perfect time to pick one up if you like it too.

I wear mine with converse and a denim or leather jacket for reference and I am 5ft 5" and mine is ankle length. If you shop in the petite rage at ASOS this is now down to £9.50 so even more of a bargain. I have a size 18 and the dress is available in sizes 4 to 18 in the regular range and 2 upward in the petite range.


Curve Smock Dress In Contrast Animal Print - Was £25.00 Now £17.50 - ASOS

This is another dress I was unsure of but as soon as it arrived and I tried it, I loved it and it is very comfortable to wear, being a size 18/20 I am able to shop in the regular and curve ranges at ASOS and this is from the Curve range, what I like about ASOS is that they sell a lot of their clothes across their ranges so for example the rainbow striped dress was available in their regular, petite, tall and curve range but this is exclusive to curve so available in sizes 18 to 30. I have size 18 and it fits really well and comes just above my knee. This dress looks great with tights and boots and a leather jacket.

Crew Neck Slim Fit Ribbed Top - £12.00 - ASOS

This simple black top looks great with jeans or leggings or under the denim pinafore. I picked it up because I needed a long sleeve black top and couldn't find one I liked elsewhere. It is available in sizes 4 to 18 and in other colours and in the curve range too. I have size 18 for reference and it covers my bottom too so looks good with leggings. 

Next

Faux Leather Jacket - £50.00 - Next

I have needed a new "leather" jacket since last winter but couldn't find one I like, and my last one came from Next and I wore it to death and it lasted me well for 4 years but I wore it for 5 although I really shouldn't have. I decided if my old one lasted well then this one should too. It is available in sizes 6 to 22 and comes in regular, petite and tall. I have only worn mine once, not getting out much means I don't get to wear things and mine is still at that "needs breaking in" stage that comes with a pleather jacket but once I have moulded it I'm sure it will be fine. It comes to my hips and fits nicely, I have a size 20 and usually always get a size 22 in coats and jackets from Next but it was way to big so maybe size down in this. 

Red Striped Top - £16.00 - Next

This is such a simple top to wear and looks great with leggings or jeans, I wear mine with blue jeans or black leggings and boots, converse or my Ugg boots. I sized up to a size 22 in this top, I originally ordered a size 20 and it was ok but didn't cover my derriere and me and leggings without a long top isn't a good idea so I sized up and it's quite big but looks really nice. It is available in sizes 6 to 26, in petite, regular and tall. 

Rose Mesh Long Sleeve Top - £16.00 Next

I really like this top, it is quite simple but looks lovely on, especially with a white or coloured cami underneath as the print is see through, you need to wear a cami or other top underneath unless you're comfortable with showing your bra which I'm not and nobody needs to see. The top is available in 5 colours and is lovely, they had a short sleeved on in the summer which I wish I'd got now but hey ho. I have a size 20 and it is available in sizes 6 to 26 and in petite, regular and tall. 

Black Chelsea Boots - £32.00 - Next

Unfortunately I didn't take photographs of these boots so I have used the photographs from the Next website, but I wanted to share these boots with you because I had seen them online and wouldn't have purchased them, but I went in store and tried them on and they were so comfortable and looked so nice I bought them. I struggle so much with my feet and am in a lot of pain and this affects the shoes I am able to wear, I spend most of my life in Uggs and haven't found a pair of boots that are comfortable in years. These I can put on from standing by just slipping my foot in, I don't need to sit down and someone yank them on, they are so comfortable and look so much nicer in person too. I also got them wet through recently and they dried well, I brushed them with a suede brush and they look good as new. They are also available in tan, nude pink and leopard print and I honestly can't recommend them enough, they are available in sizes 3.5 to 9 and come in half sizes and wide fit too. 

So that's my winter haul, I hope you liked it and maybe found something you like. I haven't bought anything fashion or beauty related since the middle of October but let me know if you enjoy fashion hauls as I share my beauty hauls with you but always forget about fashion, so if you enjoy them I will share them with you. 

What fashion items have you picked up lately? And what did you like best in my haul? Let me know in the comments below.

Trying New Hair Accessories With Scunci

Hello Lovelies

I have been trying out some hair accessories from the brand Scunci recently and today I thought I would share with you my thoughts. I have 3 items to share with you and a bit of a spoiler, they are all fabulous but I do have a stand out favourite.  

I have long layered hair, and at the longest part it is below bra strap length to give you some idea of the length, my hair is thin due to me having PCOS and loosing my hair.  On a day to day basis, I would say 9 times out of 10, I wear my hair in some sort of messy bun, I do sometimes wear my hair down and I am also lucky that my eldest daughter has a qualification in hair styling and sometimes creates me some nice styles to wear, including braiding the front of my hair, braids going into a bun and lots of other lovely styles but all these styles require accessories such as hair ties (or bobbles as we call them in our house) and bobby pins/hair grips, where do they vanish to? So I have been trying out the Scunci products, and as is a regular occurrence on my blog, my girls have been trying the products out too. 

Scunci Multi Styler - £5.50

The Scunci Multi Styler can be used to create 3 different hair styles, the French Twist, Hollywood Roll or a simple bun and everything you need to create each style is included in the pack with instructions on the back of the box. 

The multi styler comes with 1 styler, 1 no damage hair elastic and 4 no damage hair pins.

The multi styler is really easy to use, and creates 3 lovely styles that take minimum effort but look like they've taken hours. I wouldn't ever have thought about using a kit like this, and didn't know that kits like this existed but it is really good if you have an occasion to attend or you just fancy something different. My daughter has tried all 3 styles on my hair and all 3 were easy to create and didn't take much time at all, it is such a handy kit and one both myself and my girls can use. 

Scunci No Slip Grip - £4.50

The non slip grip bobby pins, come in a pack of 48 and hold the hair in place brilliantly, they are a standard bobby pin and there isn't much I can say about them but one thing that I was really impressed with is they have a slide on bobby pin opener at the top right of the pack, you slide the bobby pin onto it and it opens the bobby pin up meaning you no longer need to open them with your teeth, it is so good and something my daughter also really liked and said would be extremely useful for her when doing hair for her clients as using your teeth to separate them isn't very professional looking. 

Scunci No Slip Grip Clear Hair Ties - £4.50

I love all 3 items but the clear no slip grip hair ties are hands down my favourite, I didn't ever think I could get excited about a hair tie or bobble but these have completely changed that. 

The hair ties do feel as if they don't have much movement when you first try them but they do stretch, they hold the hair in place fantastically well, so much so that my hair can be put up in a messy bun using one hair tie at 7am in the morning and it does not move all day, I go to bed with my hair in the same style and it looks exactly the same the following morning give or take a few straggly hairs. 

I have been using the same hair tie for around 10 days at the time of writing this post and it hasn't stretched out of shape at all and is the same size as it was when I first used it. I have put the remaining 13 hair ties in the bag we have in our bedroom which has things we have bought to take on holiday as they will be brilliant on holiday around the pool and my girls can use them too. 

I honestly didn't ever think I could rave about a hair tie but these are so good, my hair does not move, they don't feel uncomfortable or like they are pulling my hair and my hair hasn't broken off from using them. These really are the best hair ties I have ever tried. 

I have really enjoyed trying the Scunci hair accessories and would highly recommend them all, the hair ties are my favourite 100% but all the items are really good and I recommend trying them or other Scunci products, I didn't realise there were so many available. I am definitely going to purchase their waterfall braid kit and will re purchase the hair ties when I need to. 

If you would like to try any of the items I have featured today, or any other Scunci items, you can find them here on the Claires website. 

Have you tried any Scunci hair accessories? Which of the 3 I featured today, do you think you'd like to try the most? Let me know in the comments section below. 

Thank you for reading, much love as always

Some New Jewellery With jewellerybox

Hello Lovelies

I am a big jewellery lover, whether it's delicate pieces of jewellery, jewellery with sentimental meaning or a statement necklace or earrings, I wear jewellery every day. I have certain pieces I wear all the time and never take off, these are my engagement ring, 2 bracelets and 2 rings, all gifts from my partner Simon and our daughters. I also usually wear either a Thomas Sabo necklace with different charms attached or my Tiffany necklace, which again were gifts from Simon and the girls, but I do change my earrings up and like to wear statement necklaces especially in the summer and I like to wear bracelets that compliment the ones I wear all the time.

I was recently asked if I'd like to choose some items from jewellerybox, I'd never visited their website before so I couldn't wait to see what items they had on offer. After searching the website, I chose 4 pieces and I thought it was about time I shared with you what I chose.

About jewellerybox

jewellerybox was launched in 2014 and is an online jewellery retailer based in South London, they have a mission to show the world that real jewellery can be bought at costume jewellery prices. They have a large range (over 10,000 pieces) of sterling silver and 9ct gold jewellery on their website. JewelleryBox are passionate about the designs they offer and they think that buying jewellery should be affordable, easy, fast and fun. JewelleryBox are an Assay Assured jewellery retailer, meaning that their jewellery is the real deal, ensuring their customers have trust in them as a brand and in the jewellery they sell.

The Jewellery I Chose

All the pieces I chose are sterling silver, but there is also gold, white gold and rose gold to choose from, most of my jewellery that I wear on a daily basis is silver, apart from a white gold bangle and my engagement ring, which is platinum. I do like gold and rose gold jewellery but I feel silver tones suit me best and I always gravitate to silver, white gold or platinum.

The way the jewellery was packaged was really lovely and the boxes it came in are perfect to keep the jewellery in. All the jewellery came in an outer sleeve with the jewellerybox logo on it, and inside the sleeve was a box tied up with twine/cord and a pretty patterned tag and a tag with the jewellerybox logo on it. The boxes are so nice and I have kept my jewellery inside the boxes. Inside the boxes the jewellery was wrapped in clear plastic and then on it's own card depending on the item.

I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of jewellery there was to choose from and it did take me quite a while to choose as I was literally spoilt for choice. There are some beautiful pieces of jewellery on the site and there are definitely more items that I will be purchasing. I chose items that I really liked and also pieces I knew I would wear, I chose 3 pairs of earrings and a bracelet and I love them all.

Sterling Silver & Clear Crystal, Made With Swarovski Elements Birthstone Earrings - £4.55

I chose these earrings to wear in my second ear piercing, I always like to wear a simple earring in my second piercing and I cannot wear jewellery that isn't genuine silver or gold, if I do my ears become sore after a day or two, so these are perfect for me to wear and keep in and I have been wearing them in my second piercing since I got them a few weeks ago. They are the perfect size and look lovely but would also look lovely in my first piercing too. I love how sparkly the stones are, they catch the light perfectly and look so pretty.

Sterling Silver & Enamel Flat Flower Stud Earrings - £8.25

As soon as I saw these earrings, I loved them. They are perfect and I thought they'd be lovely to wear throughout the summer, they will go with anything and are so pretty, I love the daisy design of them and again I can wear these without my ears getting sore.

Sterling Silver Crystal Flower Stud Earrings - £5.55

These are similar to the daisy earrings and I love that they have the crystal in the centre, these will go with any outfit and will be perfect for the summer too, I love that the petals look like hearts too, I am a sucker for anything heart shaped. 

Sterling Silver Stretchy Beaded Charm Bracelet - £21.00

This bracelet caught my eye when I was browsing the site, it's simple but really pretty and it will look lovely worn either with my 2 bracelets I wear daily or alone, I really like it.

I really love everything I chose from jewellerybox, all the items arrived packaged really well and the delivery was super speedy too. The website has so much choice, there really is something for everyone and it is an ideal place to look if you need a gift for someone. Their items are affordable with sterling silver earrings starting at £1.85, which is a brilliant price for sterling silver earrings, I would definitely recommend checking the website out.

If you would like to take a look at the website, you can find it here and if you liked the items I chose and would like to purchase them for yourself, you can find them here, here, here and here.

Have you purchased anything from jewellerybox? Which is your favourite or favourites of the 4 things I chose? Let me know in the comments below.

Curvy Kate Lingerie From Simply Be

Hello Lovelies

I have always had what you could call a large chest or big boobs, however you want to put it, that coupled with being plus size has always made finding underwear difficult. Finding everyday plain t shirt type bras and plain briefs is difficult enough but trying to find pretty lingerie sets I have found to be a real nightmare. 

I was recently asked if I would like to choose some lingerie from Simply Be, I have tried clothes from Simply Be and they have always been great but for some reason, I haven't ever purchased any underwear. Simply Be have an amazing range of underwear, I was completely blown away, they have their own brand and also brands such as Figleaves, Freya, Curvy kate, Berlei, Panache and many more, I was honestly spoilt for choice and couldn't believe the range I had to choose from. 

The Simply Be website is easy to use and has different categories down the left hand side of the page such as brands, cup size, size, cup type, back size, price range and also which item of lingerie you would like, it is so easy. I simply put in my bra size when I was searching for a bra and bottoms size when looking for briefs. I was absolutely amazed when I put my bra size in and I had a choice of 484 bras to choose from, I couldn't believe it, I am used to having less than 10 items to choose from when searching high street websites. There were so many lovely bras to choose from including plain t shirt type bras and absolutely stunningly pretty bras, I couldn't believe I had such an amazing choice.

After searching through all the bras on offer, I put my favourites in the basket and added matching briefs and then narrowed it down, one set that had caught my eye from when I first started looking was the Curvy Kate Princess Flamingo Bra and Briefs, I kept going back to it and when it came to choosing my favourite set, this was the standout for me. 

The Curvy Kate set is stunning and perfect for me, it is a stunning bright coral shade with fuchsia pink ribbon detail. It has a semi sheer fabric with soft raised polka dots and lace detail, the bra comes with adjustable straps. I love anything coral or pink and this set is beautiful, it is more of a fluorescent  coral and is very bright, it is stunning and perfect for the spring and summer. 

Curvy Kate bras come in sizes from a D cup to a K cup and briefs come in sizes 12 to 24, the Princess range I chose is also available in White, Nude and Black if the Flamingo colour isn't your thing. 

The detailing on the bra and briefs is stunning, the soft polka dots and the lace detail are lovely, the floral lace is so pretty and feminine and the fuchsia ribbon compliments the coral perfectly. The bra is a non padded balcony style and fits me perfectly giving a good support and shape, it has a 2 hook, 3 column fastening. The briefs are a different style to what I would usually choose, I usually opt for a shorts style brief, these are a Brazilian style but are very comfortable to wear and have a seamless edge meaning they aren't visible under my clothing. 

Both the bra and the briefs are very comfortable to wear and the bra gives me a lovely shape that looks nice under my clothing. I have always saved pretty underwear sets for a special occasion and worn them if we have been going out for a meal or another occasion but I decided that I shouldn't save this set, it is too pretty to save and not wear very often, so I have worn it on a day to day basis. Wearing pretty underwear does make me feel nice and this is such a pretty set, yes there is only me (and Simon when he is helping me to get sorted out) who sees it, but it isn't about who sees it, it is about feeling nice and this set makes me feel nice and I will definitely be ordering more lingerie from Simply Be. 

One thing I really liked is that on the bra there is a label about checking boobs, this is such an important message and I was really pleased to see it. 

I am so pleased with my lingerie set and so impressed with Simply Be,  I could have picked out numerous sets of pretty lingerie from the Simply Be website, and also numerous every day t shirt bras and every day briefs too, they have an absolutely incredible choice on their website. Bra sizes range from an A cup to a L cup with back sizes ranging from a 28 to a 56 and brief sizes range from a size 8 to a size 38, catering for so many different sizes, this is the most varied range of sizes I have ever seen for lingerie and I wish I'd checked out Simply Be sooner when looking for underwear, I will definitely be ordering some more lingerie from Simply Be, there are so many pretty sets I like and as I said, I don't usually wear pretty sets every day but now I have a huge range to choose from with Simply Be, I think I might just start to, with such an amazing range to choose from, why not? 

I unfortunately don't have the confidence to share a photograph of myself wearing the lingerie so I will share with you a  photograph of the model wearing the set I chose so you can see how it looks on.
