THEME SHOPPING: LINGERIE
Yesterday I spent the day helping my loves Linnea and Stephanie to shop for some new underwear. Fun fun fuuun, am also super- flattered by the fact that Stephanie booked me in for it 2,5 weeks ago since she wantedmy help and opinion haha =D
Gals: some things to think about when you buy a new bra...
* make sure that it's tight enough around your back. Pretty much everyone wears a size too big around the waist, which means that you won't get enough support, thus not as good push up as you could.
* The bra shouldn't "lift" in the front but rest perfectly against your skin. If it lifts it's too big. At the back, you should get about two fingers between the bra and your skin. (= It should be quite tight.)
* Put the bra on the outer clasp when you buy it. (So you can move it in when you've washed it a couple of times.) NEVER on the inner clasp. If you have to do that it means that it's too big and that you should go down a size, ex. from 75/34 to 70/32.
* Check whether the cups are too small both by making sure that you don't get "double" boobs, and also by making sure that the wire rounds nicely under your armpit. You will KNOW when it's right.
* Don't care about whether the size sounds too big/ too small. The size that you'll need will differ between different brands and materials anyway. Be open- minded ;)
* Remember that the cup sizes change in proportion to the back- size. For instance, a 75 B (34 B) is the same cupsize as a 70 C (32 C).
* Always ask the people in the store to help you to get you different sizes and styles. It's their job so don't be afraid to ask them, ja? Plus they'll know which bras that will suit your shape.
* make sure that it's tight enough around your back. Pretty much everyone wears a size too big around the waist, which means that you won't get enough support, thus not as good push up as you could.

My lovelies =)
Some current must- haves according to myself are these little babies... (The top 5 styles from La Senza UK, and the ones below from Passionata Lingerie)
If you need something basic that works everyday but still has a sensual touch these two are MUCH recommended:
1. Calvin Klein's Seductive Comfort. Amazing bra which gives a nice shape, a nice cleavage and is extremely comfortable. Can be worn both as a T- shirt bra or when you want some ooompf ;) I like.
2. Chantelle Paris' Rive Gauche: a very sensual bra which is sexy at the same time as it's practical. Gives you a gorgeous lift which is somewhere in between a balconette lift (push upwards) and plunge lift (push to the middle). Looks amazing if you're wearing a top/ dress with a rounded neckline.
Both styles can be bought in the Twilfit stores in Sweden or at Selfridges in London.

Freaky darling, it was a fabulous day! Du hade verkligen superkollen på lingerie, är sjuuukt nöjd så vill typ berätta och VISA för alla vilken fantastisk bh du hjälpt mej investera i. Sen kommer jag på att det senare inte alltid är helt socialt accpeterat... du är min hjälte <3 Imorrn blir det eldprov för the black bra ;)
