Treat Yourself to Some Nice New Lingerie This Season

At this time of the year, most of us update our wardrobes. We need warmer clothes and to start getting ourselves ready for events like Halloween, Bonfire Night and the party season. But, the one thing many of us forget to do is to buy some new lingerie from somewhere like Simply Be.

A lot of us do not particularly like going shopping for lingerie. We feel a bit shy and find that having to get completely undressed to try everything on to be a bit stressful.
Why it is worth the hassle
However, you really should resist the urge not to update your underwear. It really does have a significant impact on how you look and how good you feel.
If you are wearing an old bra that does not give you much support, it will be impossible to look your best. It does not matter whether you are wearing an expensive new top or a saggy old t-shirt.
Old and worn underwear tends not to stay in place well. Having to constantly pull your knickers up because they keep slipping is uncomfortable and annoying.
Tap into some new trends
It is also nice to treat yourself and buy something that is fashionable. Right now, there are some really lovely items available in the shops. So, if it has been a while since you tried some different bra and pant cuts, now is a good time to do so.
Over time, we all change shape a bit. So, it makes sense to be brave and try something new every now and again. It is the best way to discover that magic lingerie set that makes you look and feel amazing.
Something pink
If you want to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month you can do so in lots of different ways. Dressing in pink on 19 October is one way to do it. So, why not buy yourself some pink lingerie? That way you will literally be dressed in pink from head to toe.
Currently, quite a few retailers are selling pink bras, pants, camisoles, boudoirs and slips. It is a colour that flatters most women and is light enough to be worn under most items of clothing without it showing too much.
Tattoo Prints
If you are not really keen on lace, but are a bit bored of plain materials, try on some tattoo print lingerie. These bold, elaborate patterns are designed to accentuate the female form as well as look interesting. They are also a great way to cover up thread veins and little patches of cellulite.
Try a bodysuit
This year, bodysuits are very much back in style. Again, if you have not tried one before I recommend that you do. They are not for every woman and you have to get the fit right. When you do that, you will be surprised by just how comfortable they are.
Plus, a body suit provides you with another layer of clothing. They may be thin, but that does not matter because it is the air that they trap next to your skin that will help you to feel warmer. If you want help deciding if this trendy item of lingerie is for you I suggest that you read this enlightening article.
If you liked this clothing related post, why not read a few more of the ones I have published, this past year. This one, which is about Christmas jumpers, is a good place to start. After all, it is never too early to start planning for that special family event.

Damart Shawl Collar Cardigan Review

Autumn is truly in full swing and my wardrobe seriously needs an update. I wear a thin black hoody everything and coming into the colder weather, it just doesn't cut it anymore. Cue Damart. 

I was sent a gorgeous Shawl Collar Cardigan from Damart and on opening, I just wanted to put it on right away. 

I love a cable knit jumper so this was a huge hit with me!


It has gorgeous chunky buttons too so it's really easy to fasten - no fiddling. 


It is made from 80% acrylic and 20% mohair. On first wear, the mohair did itch around my neck and upper back (I have sensitive skin) but after a quick wash we had no further problems. 

The shawl cardigan has a great length to it - mid-thigh - so it does keep you warm in cool days. The problem that I usually have with cardigans is that there is nothing going on around the neck and it does get chilly so I really love the shawl (plus it adds a bit of style!)


I've worn my shawl collar cardigan basically non-stop since it arrived and it has well and truly earned its place in my wardrobe. At a price of £39, I do believe that this cardigan will last me for quite a few years!

You can find out more about Damart at their website, Facebook and Twitter

What We Bought, Pt 2

Yesterday, I posted about the fact that I hated shopping but had to indulge in some....and I've done it again today! Crazy!

Anyway, I just wanted to share some of today's purchases - some of you might like something for your little ones!


Tu Clothing at Sainsburys buys:

3 pack of sleepsuits (£7), Sandals (£4.50) and 2 piece swimsuit & hat (£9)

I love the little sandals. Perfect for all the summery weather with his new short and tops I bought him yesterday!

George at ASDA purchases:

2 x 3 packs of vests (£3 each), 3 pack of sleepsuits (£5), 6 pack of printed bodysuits (£7.50), jeans (£5), trousers (£7)

Woven pyjamas (£6)

His first pair of 'big boy pyjamas'! I love them!

One of my favourite places to buy baby clothes is ASDA. The sizing is great and C still fits in the 3-6 mth clothing and he's 8 months!

We also picked up this bath seat from Smyths. It's absolutely fantastic (we tried it out as soon as we got home) and it is so much easier to bath C.

Where is your favourite place to buy baby clothing and why?
