CLEO ~ Meg in Bird Print 28F


I came too late to the party when it comes to a lot of lines that I now lust after but the Cleo Meg wasn't an unlucky casualty of this. I remember quite clearly browsing through websites and seeing it in my size. But at the time, I didn't find it very attractive and had no interest in it. When I finally woke up to its gorgeousness, it was all gone in my size. But I was lucky enough to find a used one for sale on Bratabase.

CURVY KATE ~ Tease Me in Cherry/Blush 28F


Yesterday, I received the gorgeous Curvy Kate Tease Me in Cherry/Blush in the mail. I've been wanting this bra for months and now it's all mine. My precious. I will spend some time talking about the story between the Tease Me and me before the review proper. Feel free to skip ahead!

MASQUERADE ~ Delphi in Black/Ivory 28F


I bought the Delphi by Masquerade just after I received my Rhea from the same brand. I needed a sophisticated black bra and I loved the looks and fit of the Rhea so much that I decided to stick to Masquerade for this purchase. My preference went to the Black/Graphite model but I was only able to find a 28F in Black/Ivory. That's of the downsides of falling for a discontinued model: beggars can't be choosers.

URKYE ~ Three Tops from the Polish Brand


The Dwulicowa Tuba                           The Kontrast +                           The Dzwonek


I've seen Polish brand Urkye mentioned by many bloggers these past few months. Reviews seemed to be very positive so I figured I should give their clothes a try. For my first order, I went with the three tops above: the Dwulicowa Tuba in yellow, the Kontrast + in white and the Dzwonek in red. I ordered the same size for everything: 34 0/00.

The prices were excellent (it didn't hurt that they have a sale going on right now) and shipping was super fast. So, how are the clothes?

PANACHE ~ Sport Bra 28F

My Precious.

I wore ill-fitting bras for years but it was nothing compared to the torture of wearing ill-fitting sport bras. Oh, the shame and discomfort of wearing  brassiere-like bras that minimized my boobs and made them look pointy, flat or sadly pointed toward the ground. Discovering the Panache Sport bra last year was like a miracle.

LINDY BOP ~ Norma Dress in Red


I have a weakness for vintage-inspired dresses. I love how they look and how they flatter my body shape (nicely fitted at the top and very forgiving on a more generous bottom half). I found the Norma dress from Lindy Bop on Ebay and I just couldn't resist.

CLEO ~ Lucy White/Neon Orange 28F




I've just received my first Lucy today. It's the the new AW 2013 White/Neon Orange color. Only there isn't any white to be seen! It's a very pale peachy color. Not a problem for me (it's pretty!) but I do wonder why they called it "white". 

FREYA ~ Deco Ashlee Half-Cup Sorbet 30E


When I saw pictures of this bra, I immediately knew I had to have it. Problem: I always fall in love with older models and it's hell to find my size. And as a matter of fact, I wasn't able to find a 28F. I had to content myself with its sister size, the 30E. Something I've sworn to myself I wouldn't do again.

MASQUERADE ~ Rhea Antique Ice 28F




The Rhea was the first bra I bought that was in my correct size: 28F. It's such a wonderful feeling that it'll have sentimental value for me. And the fact that I got it for dirt cheap on Ebay doesn't hurt either!
