The Perfect Strapless Bra

So today's post is a little bit different it's on the perfect strapless bra. I've been looking for a sturdy strapless bra to wear with several new items I've purchased. I wanted something of good quality - don't get me wrong I buy bras from New Look and Primark - but I was looking for a real investment bra. So I tried underwear famous M&S, they had strapless bras but I needed a little bit of extra padding - not a huge amount 'enhanced by 2 sizes' but just a little boost however they didn't have anything like this. I also wanted a smooth bra front as patterned bras show through tight clothing. 

So here's what I found a DKNY bra from TKMaxx. Now I know this won't be available to everyone as TKMaxx stock different bras in different shops however I do think it's a good place to look for a high quality bra. 



The bra is smooth and white but also very pretty with a little bit of lace on the side and a tiny frill which makes it look so pretty. It also has a moulded inside to help boost which is only slight. 



The straps are multiway as well as strapless so it will have lots of uses. 



And so the bra doesn't slip down, a girls worst nightmare, the back panel had two pieces of thick elastic the sort you'd find in a waist band. Also it has sticky rubber lines to keep the bras placement secure as shown below. 



Overall I think this is a great bra for a great price £9.99. I'd really recommend it to anyone who's looking to invest in a great comfy bra or needs one for an upcoming event i.e. Prom. 



Sorry I've been away from my blog for a few weeks now I've been finishing my first year of uni and started a new job. 

Hope you've found this blog useful, comment if you have anymore questions!

Another Bikini!

So I promise this will be my last bikini purchase before my holiday in a couple of weeks... I really couldn't resist! 



This bikini is from H&M the top and bottom cost £3.99 each but can we just talk about this gorgeous lepord print?! It's such a beautiful colour, darker than the normal leopard print but the colours really compliment a tan. Lepord print has been known to be 'tacky' but it's got to be one of my favourite prints especially this one as it's a little bit different. The top style is strapless bandea but they do include a strap to turn it into a halter neck. I would size up in the top. I'm a 34C and sized up to a 12. The bottoms are just standard tied at the side but are super comfy. If you're not loving the style though they also do a balcony bra style top which would offer a lot more support and would be better for bigger boobs and they also do high waisted bikini bottoms for that 60's style! Personally I prefer these two together but you can mix and match which ever. I think this bikini and the lilac one in my previous post are definitely my favourites. You should really check out H&Ms swimwear collections! Hopefully my obsession with buying bikinis will stop soon!


Hope you enjoyed this post.
