Freya Sports Bra

I have been going to the gym since August but lazily. So, I've been making the effort to go 3-4 times a week. I do two classes, spinning and abs. My point to all this is sports bras and how you need a sports bra. I don't know how these crazy women do it without them? I'm surprised how many black eyes I don't see. Surely if you have a bust you would invest in a good sports bra, none of this 'Nike crop top' stuff. I have two by Freya, one in red and one in black and I couldn't go to the gym without them. I got my normal size 28ff which is very, very tight but i'm glad it is because I dont have to worry about black eyes, I am strapped down. I got them non-wired which does leave me a bit pointy but who cares i'm at the gym and I am sweaty. I have heard great things however about the wired version.

Freya are revolutionizing their sports bras all the time. They've even cup up with proper swimming costumes full of support and much nicer than anything else you see.

Panache have also just introduced their new sports bra which comes in some great colours and is a little bit more padded than the Freya. They have a fab blue, red and white edition coming out for the Olympics! I will try this sports bra in the future so I will keep you posted,

Ashlee

I've just decided that I'm not going to buy myself anything until my birthday which is the 3rd March. So anything I think I want to buy goes on the 'birthday list.' I really don't think this is going to work but I'm going to try my hardest. I'm trying to save up so I can go on a lovely extravagant holiday to Bali. I found this website that seems too good to be true.. http://www.travelbagasia.co.uk/ Does anyone have any tips?

Back to the lingerie. The first drop we have coming to the shops is Ashlee by Freya. It is so cute it will be going straight on my birthday list. It's in the same style as Deco which I seem to have a slight obsession with, anyway, I think you can see why..

Passionata

Passionata is a lovely family run french brand. They specialise in really delicate lace and half cup bras. Simply gorgeous! Its a brand I really wish I could wear. In the past I have bought some in a 32DD but would only wear on special occasions and in my opinion when you are spending quite a lot of money on something you should get your monies worth (like good fitting boots and fur coats!) 

And also, as I'm a 28 or 30 back the fit wasn't great.

However, they have just started making 30 backs but only up to the DD. 

So great for little ladies but not so good for the ample bosoms!

Jolie has just arrived in the shop and its so pretty, I'd love to unwrap this little number on Christmas day. 

Its a perfect sexy set to wear under a nice black new years ever dress?

Passionata is around the same price as Fantasie with an average bra costing £35/£36. A lot less than their sister brand Chantelle which you can pay up to £80.00 for a bra but equally, they are stunning!!!!

Passionata Charisma.

Passionata Jolie

Chantelle Versailes with crystals on. Bra £78.00 and shorts £35.00.

'Post it note it' for your other halves! 

Tigerlilly

I wish Freya would revert back to their old school way of bra design. My two faves have been Tigerlily which was such a fab fit and such bright colours! They then brought out Myrtle which was the same bra just in a different pattern. What I loved about them both was the colourful straps and I always felt really supported. Freya then went on to produce these awful satin numbers that didn't seem to fit anyone so I'm glad they've got rid :-)

Whats your favourite Freya?

Fiore by Lepel

My usual bra has always been Fiore by Lepel but since I've gone up a size I haven't been able to get into the 30F because of the padding, even when removed! So, I've gone to the half cup which I absolutely love, I think I like it even more than the plunge because its not as much boob and the detail is lovely!

Fiore is a fantastic bra, at just £22.00 it competes with high street shops such as La Senza but you are getting much better quality and proper sized bras. I would recommend this bra to anyone. It starts at a 30 back which is fab and cups go up to a G. It has a lovely matching thong, short and they've just reintroduced the knicker. This bra comes in the normal black, white and nude but the Christmas colour is black and gold.. it's AMAZING. This is my latest purchase. They bring different colours out every few months, nexts years colours are mint green and coral.

If you keep your eye out, larger chain stores often pop Lepel in the sale for lovely prices such as £9.00.

Its a shame working in a smaller boutique, you can't compete with these low prices and blue cross sales but luckily we've got our followers and they wouldn't go anywhere else :-)

Christmas Black & Gold.

 Septembers colours, blue and pink, so cute!

This is the half cup bra that i prefer, but its not for everyone.

Sienna (not Miller)

My favourite bra at the moment is Sienna by Panache. I went to Portugal in September and decided I needed a nice new 'holiday' bra. So, I went to Debenhams and found Sienna for something daft like £8.70. The bra retails in most shops at £26.00 so it was a right bargain! Its the old colour of black and purple though. There is the gorgeous new colour our which is navy/plum.. I would really like it as it is one of the comfiest bras I've ever worn and its really sexy too! Im sad I missed the red and black because it was gorgeous. I'm hoping they bring out a new colour next year but I haven't heard or seen anything yet...

The old colour red.

Taylor

Taylor by freya is so gorgeous!

Just arrived today! Styled on deco, its black with gorgeous gold detail. I think it looks really expensive and not like a deco bra. Im not too keen on the high waist hold-me-in briefs. The bra is around £32.00 and there is a mathing thong & short. The short is seamless so perfect for tight dresses, and I also find them really handy for running? Our most popular range has been Nina by Freya (lovely pink leopard print.) It's flown out of the shop and we are debating whether to get any more in?

Next to drop in is Sharon by Fantasie. It looks really nice but not my cup of tea, I think its aimed more at the mature lady. I always find Fantasie knickers are so high up. The thongs are nearly around my tummy!

Sharon by Fantasie.

lingerie galore!

Seven new sets have arrived. Nina and Niomi by Freya, Elodie in Black by Fantasie, Celine and Isobel by Fauve and finally two new ranges we have just decided to try out called Un:usual.

Pretty hard to choose which one I want the most. I think its probably Nina by Freya but Isobel by Fauve is so stunning, its hard. Our shop looks very full now, we just need to re-do the window all christmassy and we are set. Still waiting on some Chantelle stock but that can wait-I'm too busy ooing and ahhing over fauve!

Celine by Fauve.

Our stocked shop!

Red

I want this bra so bad!! The colour is amazing and will be so good for winter wear, its also really plunging so gives great cleavage while being smooth enough for t-shirts...perfect!! Its by Freya and called Deco. They do this bra in really plain colours and bring out these fab editions! Its great because the sizes start at a 28 and go to a 38 with cups starting at a B up to a GG!!

Nina!

This is the newest range in Freya coming out. I think its so so cute. Pink leopard print with pretty flowers on? What more do you want in a bra? Its also starts in a 28 back which is fab and cup sizes go up to a G :-)
