Leading Lady Lace Nursing Bra Review

I have to admit that I am very picky about the types of bras I wear. I like underwire because it makes me feel secure and I also want them to be pretty even if no one else will see them! When I was pregnant with Liam, I knew I would be breastfeeding and, because all I had were old nursing bras from when Josiah was a baby, it was time to search for new ones. I was quickly reminded just how plain nursing bras can be. I didn't want just any bra, which is why I was so excited to find Leading Lady online.

About Leading Lady
Leading Lady has been around for quite a while, opening its doors back in 1939! So, it is safe to say they know a thing or two about nursing bras and full-figured bras. At first, their bras were made for medical use, but by the 1960s, they started bring style and fashion into play. Skipping to the present, Leading Lady bras can be found at a variety of retailers as well as on their website! These bras have created quite a positive reputation and breastfeeding moms look to Leading Lady for quality, beautiful nursing bras for their needs. They also have full-figured bras and maternity bras, offering up to a size 52G, so if your size is hard to find, they will most likely have it! 

My Thoughts
I reviewed a Leading Lady nursing bra about a year ago and was so impressed by the quality of this bra. This is why I was so excited to receive their Lace-Cup Underwire Nursing Bra in the color violet. The picture of this bra did not prepare me for just how beautiful it really is! The purple is a nice lavender color and the lace is so detailed. They come in a variety of sizes, colors and designs, so moms have a huge variety from which to choose! 
From the outside, my Lace-Cup Underwire Nursing Bra looks just like a regular bra, which is great because even when I am not nursing I want to wear this comfortable bra. On the inside, there is a sling for extra support. When you are ready to nurse, just snap open the clasp, pull down the bra and you are ready for feeding baby! 

Even my husband complemented this bra and had no idea it was a nursing bra. It's truly one of the most beautiful bras I own and, by far, the most comfortable. I've been wearing and washing it for months now and it still looks like new! I have a feeling this one will be around for quite a while. Retailing at only $31.00, this is a quality bra for a great price. We highly recommend Leading Lady!

Maternity Clothes- What to Wear This Fall & Winter Season

A few years ago, when you were an expectant mom maternity clothes consisted of oversized t-shirts and extra-stretchy leggings – not a particularly flattering look! Nowadays, you don’t have to compromise your style when you’re pregnant – maternity fashion has come on leaps and bounds. As we see the fall/winter trends hit the shops, there are some great trends out there for all you mom’s to be! 

Berry colors

Berry colors are a huge trend this autumn, and it’s a color that is so versatile. It suits every different skin tone, and is great for both day and evening wear. These colors will definitely help you feel festive! 


Shirts        


Shirts are still a big trend this fall/winter, and you can wear them virtually anywhere – in the office, on date night, or on a family day out. They are really flattering to your growing bump, whilst still looking sophisticated.

                                                                                                                                                                                          
Colored trousers

If you want to be a bit daring but still comfortable, colored jeans are a great compromise. This trend isn’t going anywhere so jump on board so bring a pop of color to fall. 

These styles are great ways to flatter your changing body during your pregnancy, whilst still feeling fashionable and on-trend. With so much great maternity fashion around, experiment with these different trends to find your perfect mom-to-be outfit!

Figleaves.com Offers The Perfect Clothing For Upcoming Summer Vacationing

Now that I'm back to my pre-pregnancy size, I've been looking to revamp my entire wardrobe. It's not as easy as I thought it would be since I am so picky about what I want. Although I want stylish clothing, I also want to be comfortable. Plus, I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg, of course! Like most of you ladies, I do a great deal of my purchasing online. It's so much easier, saves me time and I can often find better deals than in-store!

Right now my online search has gone to clothing for my upcoming beach vacation. I need a variety of clothes, from tees to lingerie, which is what figleaves offers. I found so many awesome items that I then had to narrow down my search to a few of my very favorite items that are beach essentials. I knew I wanted a t-shirt and, when I saw the Perfect V Neck Tee, I knew that was the one for me. It's form-fitting and comfortable, so I can look great and feel great, too.
Next my search for a swimsuit began. My swimsuits are embarrassingly old, so I knew it was time to upgrade to something beautiful and fashionable. With my all-new body, I want a bikini! The figleaves Tobago swimsuit is so pretty that I couldn't resist. I love triangle top swimsuits with a halter and they are in style write now. Plus, the design has navy tropical flowers. It's pretty and beach-themed!

Lastly, I have been looking for a new chemise. Luckily, figleaves nightwear has some beautiful chemises, sleep shorts and camisoles from which to choose. I love looking at sleepwear and lingerie, so this was definitely the hardest choice because I wanted everything I found. Finally, I decided on the Drape Chemise. It's so beautiful and has adjustable straps, which I always need.
Now that I have purchased all my new clothing, I'm almost ready to go to the beach! Now comes the less exciting part of packing everything up. I just can't wait to get to the beach and show off my new clothes. What will you purchase for the upcoming summer holidays? Don't wait until the last minute because there are some great deals going on right now!

Kicking Off the Block Party Early- Poshling Review & $25 Giveaway

 Over the years and many shopping trips, I have become obsessed with children's boutique clothing. I love fashion and want my little ones to be stylish, too. I like dressing my boys in Mini Boden, Appaman, and See Kai Run shoes. Okay, I admit, It can be very expensive, but it doesn't have to be. With Poshling, Mom's can find luxury clothing at great prices!

My Thoughts

Every time I've logged into Poshling I've found some of my favorite brands and some other great finds I wish I'd known about earlier! Today I found an Appaman clothing (one of my favorites) and Heather Lehman nursingwear, all of which were discounted greatly. Later this week you can find cashmere sweaters and blankets from Amber Hagen and the adorably popular Morgan and Milo shoes. This is the type of deals website I've been dreaming about! It's selective, I have a say in what gets featured, and it's stylish.

Need another reason to give Poshling a try? Their $5 flat rate shipping! How many times have you been ripped off on shipping rates? I know I have. I make what I think is great purchase only for a $15-20 shipping charge to pop up at the end. It's ridiculous and makes me rethink my the purchase completely, but Poshling guarantees the flat rate of $5 for shipping and returns! That is very appealing for those of us on a budget!

You'll definitely want to stay tuned for future sales. With 2 stylish grads from Harvard Business School running the website, you can definitely expect great things from Poshling! I am crossing my fingers for a See Kai Run sale in the near future.
