I was meant to have this review up a few days after I put up the teaser but two weeks have gone past! When did that happen? Ok so I wore the Tropics Bra by Freya for a week and loved it.

The red colour is really cheery in the morning especially now during Winter in Australia. That bluey/purpley fluorescent colour in the cups is my favourite. I don't know why but I love it. Maybe because it's so vibrant and unexpected.

Cute bow!

I also love the deep pink bows they are so cute.

The plunge style worked a treat when I was wearing a lower cut sweater. It gave a nice shape and no bra peeking over the sides.

The straps are comfy though I much prefer them to be thinner.  Thick straps like this are never attractive no matter how colourful the print. 

Bold Colours

I got this bra in a larger cup size because I am finding the cup sizes are getting a bit snug and not covering and supporting my boobs as they should. Doing this I found I had a bit more room in the cups but my boobs were still covered and supported. Especially good during that time of the month when you need extra support and coverage.

The sheer material along the top of the cups and the scalloped edge are really pretty. I had no bulge and the bra fit just right.

The material on the bottom part of the cups at first felt slightly plasticey but as I wore it more it softened. I am sure after a wash and wear it will soften more. It was never uncomfortable just an observation I made.

Elastic around straps on the back.

The only thing that bothered me a bit was the elastic around the wings at the back of the bra along the top and bottom. I felt like they were a bit tight but as I continued to wear it they got a bit more comfy. I am sure after a wash and another wear it will be comfier still.

All in all I really like this bra. It's comfy, pretty and supportive. I highly recommend. It is a great buy.

Available in sizes  28DD - 38H. (AUS6DD - 16H)

Do you have this bra? What are your thoughts? Let me know.

This is shot number twenty! So hard to take these photos. Who knew!  Maya Bra by Cleo.

Beautiful colours, great fit, good support.

The second I saw the Maya Bra from Cleo by Panache I knew I had to have it and I did!

This has become one of my favourite bras because of the explosion of colours on it, the great fit, good support and the lovely shape it gives my boobs.

Firstly I love the thin pink straps. Too cute and they do the job. They look great under strappy tops. Perfect for the Aussie summer coming up. (Daylight savings starting tonight turn your clock forward 1 hr!)

The cups are soft and smooth and cover my boobs as you can see from the last pic. They give a nice rounded shaped and a very sexy cleavage as well. They keep the girls protected and looking great hahaha. No unnecessary bounce or spillage.

You can easily wear this bra under a bit of a lower cut top with no problems. And even if you can see the bra over the top who cares, look at that beautiful pink lace. Let 'em see! 

The best thing about this bra is the colours.  

What a beautiful explosion of colours. The wild animal print, the pink straps, the beautiful pink and green embroidered lace and the cutest little sunshine yellow bow will make this a year round favourite.

It makes me so happy every time I wear it. Makes me feel a bit naughty and wild hahaha.

Bras should be fun and this one offers good support, is a great fit and has beautiful colours. So what are you waiting for.

Now is the perfect time to add this beautiful large cup bra to your collection as Figleaves has 20% off everything full price and free delivery in the UK. Use code 20DEL at checkout. Ends midnight Monday 6th October.

What do you think. Is this too colourful for you. Do you prefer more subtle colours? Let me know.

I was searching through Figleaves and noticed some stunning longline bras. The first one I saw is the Freya Flourish Padded Longline Bra pictured above. It's pink floral of course I love it.

The pink colours are so sweet and so are the lace panels on the side. It is lower cut so perfect for summer weather and lower cut tops. Love that the floral print is on the straps.
 
Available in limited sizes up to a G cup.

The other longline bra I noticed is the Freya Pansy Underwired Padded Longline Bra. I absolutely adore those vibrant violet and blue colours.

The black and blue bow in the middle of the cups is adorable and the I love that the print is on the straps. To die for!

The lace trim on the top of the cups gives it a French flavour and the black lace panels on the side give it a very sexy feel.

Add the lower cut front which gives your boobs a gorgeous rounded shape with killer cleavage and this turns into a must, must have longline bra!

Available in limited sizes from 28E - 38G. (AUS 6E-16G)

I don't know about you but I am on my last dollars and still have a few more gifts to buy so decided to head over to figleaves Christmas Treats store which has handpicked items at 25% off. 

There is some great items here and as much as I am trying not to by for myself I saw a bra and of course bought it for myself!

Yes this is yet another Christmas treat I am spoiling myself with. You'd think I haven't bought myself anything all year hahaha!

The Freya Patsy Underwired Plunge Balcony Bra is on it's way to me as a lot of things are! I was actually after the one in pink not fuchsia but this one is on special only AUS$23 (£15.50).

I will see how I feel when I get it. This is what happens when you buy things you are not supposed to. Oh well. I have had my eye on it all year and now that it is at a great price I have made it mine wrong colour and all hahaha.

Merry Christmas to all!

I took these photos about two months ago. Goodness where did that time go. Well now that I have a minute I can finally write this post!

This sunny, fun, bright bra is the Marcie Bra by Cleo from Panache. I was attracted to it solely by it's colour appropriately called sunshine. The minute I saw it I bought it. This bra goes perfect it today's climate, you see in Australia it is summer and it is hot!

This bra is made of mesh so your boobs breathe. It is light but it still offers support. When I felt it I thought oh no this is not going to support my boobs at all but I was wrong.

I absolutely love the lace detailing on top of the cups, especially the bows. They are so beautiful. The polka dot on the cups are adorable too. Such fun. The pink bow in the centre of the cups gives the yellow bra a pop of colour. It's so right.

 

I really love the thin straps they go perfect under strappy tops. They make a fashion statement on their own. They are also very comfortable. Underneath they have a felt covering so are soft on your skin and don't cut in at all. 

If you find the straps cut in then you have the wrong band size. You need to go down a size because the main support form a bra comes from the band not the straps. 

I really recommend this bra. It has beautiful lace, a fun yellow colour with a pop of pink, it is soft, lets your boobs breath and offers good support. What more can you want in a bra. It has it all!

Best of all it is on sale at Bravissimo. They don't have many sizes left so get in and grab yourself a bargain.  If the sunshine colour is too bold for you it also comes in purple and blue.

I know I say this a lot but I can't believe how long it has been since I last put up a post! Goodness. That is what happens when you try to live a thousand lives in one and suffer from FOMO! (Fear of missing out).

Anyway if you don't see any action here you can always keep up with me on Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest which I LOVE!

So I had a little lookey at Bravissimo and saw some gorgeous new bras in beautiful shades bursting with colour and thought I had to tell you all about them.

The ever popular Alana Bra is now available in a gorgeous shade of candy pink. The Deco Zest Bra is back in a zesty shade of yellow with wild animal print straps and the cutest little animal print bow in the middle of the cups.

Then I noticed the Satine Blossom Brashining in all its glory in a shade of delightful peach and how can I go passed the adorable Starry Eyed Bra with big blue hearts all ready to love and be loved. Awwwwwww. 

Which one of these is you favourite or did you see another bra on Bravissimo you think I should spotlight?

This gorgeous bra is the Idina Moulded Bra by Panache and one of my favourite new bras. This is a gorgeous super sexy, super soft and gentle bra which I enjoy wearing.

I was looking for a black bra with nice thin straps that I can wear under my strappy singlets in summer and this gorgeous bra does the job beautifully.  The straps don't dig in and the middle of the bra sits flat against my chest. A perfect fit.

I was also a bit concerned about the small gold rings holding the straps to the bra. I wasn't sure if it would hold my boobs up but remember the support from a bra comes from the band so the issue of the little gold rings didn't cross my mind again.  The bra does it's job.

Close up of black lace

I was also looking for a black t-shirt bra as I like a nice smooth look when I am wearing singlets in summer. I don't like the rough rumpled look you get from bulky lace bras or those heavily seamed bras either. 

Have no fear this black lace does not show through your clothing. You get a nice smooth look.

The best thing about this bra is that clothing doesn't slide down it! Let me explain. I bought another black bra before this that is all black and silky but whenever I wear a singlet it slides down and you can see waaay too much bra and boob. It's really annoying.

Side View

I feel really sexy when I wear it. It gives me added confidence. It supports my boobs, gives a beautiful shape and the padding doesn't add bulk.

 Beautifully made inside and out.

I also have a picture inside the bra. I just wanted to show you how well it is made. It really is a beautiful bra inside and out. I love everything about it.

I think the only thing missing is a gorgeous little black bow in the middle of the cups. That will give it that final glamorous touch.  A gorgeous bra which I am proud to own.

Available in sizes 28 - 38 DD - G. (AUS 6DD - 16G)

I donated the bras above to Upliftwhich collects and ships second hand and new bras to disadvantaged women. 

The places they distribute to include Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Philippines, Bali, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, the Northern Territory and the Kimberley regions in Australia.

Since 2005, Uplift, with assistance from Intimo and Rotary Australia World Community Service, has sent over a million bras to women in need. Most of the bras sent from Uplift will often be the only bras the women will ever own.

Nursing bras, mastectomy bras and Size 18+ are desperately needed. Uplift in Victoria collects second hand fabric nappies and nappy pins/clips also and new underpants. 

Often there is dancing and singing and lots of laughter at bra distribution events. Comments from recipients include:

"I got home and washed my new bras and just sat there watching it dry on the line. Just too beautiful and comfortable."  Beqa Island, Fiji 2012.

I've owned two bras in my life and to double that today is beyond what I would have dreamt of" (lady in her 50s).  Beqa Island, Fiji 2012

If you would like to donate money or new/near new bras and new underwear check this link to view local drop off points or for more information visit Uplift.
