I know many of you love a high waist brief. The retro aesthetic and comfort fit can be hard to resist, and I must admit, right now I’m all about big knickers. Although normally I tend to prefer a lower cut brief, especially a high leg or […]
Pregnancy changes things, your breasts being one (or two) of them. While everything’s focussed on the little life inside you, there’s just as much going on in the bra department. In fact, even before your bump has begun surfacing, most likely your boobs are already looking different, […]
Recently I had the dilemma of needing tights, only I needed maternity hosiery and I was quickly surprised by how difficult this was to get a hold of. In the end I opted for hold ups – why I hadn’t thought of it sooner, I’ll never know! It […]
This week marks a new milestone in my pregnancy – I’m 28 weeks and officially into the 3rd trimester! Although I’m struggling with pre-exisiting health conditions coming back to haunt me and pelvic pain forcing me onto crutches, I am lucky enough to be otherwise enjoying […]
