Holiday Gifts for Her

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Women can be hard to buy for this holiday season but today I have a couple great gift ideas for the woman in your life!

First, is the most comfortable pair of skinny jeans I have ever seen, owned or worn! Let me introduce you to the Lee Modern Series Dream Jean - Faith Skinny!

They combine breakthrough comfort with slimming style to create the jean of your dreams. Premium fabrics woven with rayon and tencel bring a super soft, cozy hand to your new favorite jeans.

I normally HATE wearing jeans - especially skinny jeans - but the minute I slipped these skinny jeans on, it was like they were made for me! They were the most comfortable pair of jeans I have ever worn and I HIGHLY recommend them! No itchy, scratchy waistband and the jeans themselves are so comfortable to wear all day long!

Available for purchase for $36 on the Lee website. 

And Dear Kate is a great lifestyle athletic & lingerie brand by women for women. They have the latest in athleisure pants and lingerie with innovative, sweat-wicking and breathable fabrics.

Dear Kate is a new kind of apparel designed with  Underlux fabric, which protects better than regular underwear.

Check out some of my favorites:

HAZEL HIPSTER FULL 

These feature colored elastic at waist and leg openings and super soft + silky outer fabric!

The full lining covers crotch gusset and extends to front and back. It is lined with Underlux technology to keep you protected from leaks and sweat.

GO KOMMANDO TANK 

This tank is made from the softest cotton-poly blend and the low-cut armholes are flexible when you need to be.

I love the front image that says "Super woman. No cape necessary."

Purchase all Dear Kate items from their website.

Loving Moments by Leading Lady & Giveaway

I have talked several times before how hard it was for me to find an affordable and, especially, comfortable maternity and nursing bras when I was pregnant and nursing. Breast size flunctuates so much during nursing and I just never knew what size I was or was going to be. Plus, I really needed a supportive and comfortable bra to wear 24/7 because of how engorged I got!

Well, I am so happy to share for all other nursing moms out there that Leading Lady just launched its new nursing and maternity intimate apparel line, Loving Moments® by Leading Lady, at Wal-Mart® and WalMart.com and they are really comfortable and affordable bras for every nursing mom!

I received two of these great Loving Moments bras to try out: the Molded Wirefree Nursing Bra and the Seamless Bralette Nursing Bra. They were both super comfortable and affordable: the perfect combination for any new mom!

Molded Wirefree Nursing Bra

This soft, molded wirefree nursing bra with lace neckline is great for fitted tops. The Polyester/Spandex blend allows for a smooth comfortable fit. The one-handed clasp allows for quick and easy nursing and the inner sling and elastic under band support the breast while nursing. The back closure and straps adjust for a comfortable fit.

I loved that this bra gives great support without any irritating wires. Plus, it is a great t-shirt bra perfect for fitted tops. It is easy to nurse in and really comfortable!

Seamless Bralette Nursing Bra

My favorite bra from the line has got to be this Seamless Bralette! The soft, flexible Santoni fabric shapes and supports with seamless comfort. Knit-in bottom band stays in place without rolling and it features no irritating seams—this style is great for lounging or low impact activities. One-handed clasp allows for quick and easy nursing and the inner sling supports the breast while nursing. Back closure and straps adjust for a comfortable fit.

This bra is perfect for the early months of nursing because it allows for growing and changing breast size but it is so comfortable while being supportive! It is easier to nurse in and the perfect bra to wear those early months when it seems like all you are doing is sitting around nursing! Plus, the blue color is so pretty and feminine!

So if you are pregnant or nursing and starting to think about an affordable nursing bra, I definitely recommend the great Loving Moments by Leading Lady nursing bra line that is available at Walmart. They are easy to find and comfortable to wear throughout all the months of nursing!

Anita International

One thing I have definitely learned over the span of my last two children is that it is REALLY difficult to find comfortable and flattering lingerie while pregnant and nursing! One thing I was still searching for is a good underwire nursing bra for the days I want a little boost for my "babies". :) I had yet to find one that is comfortable, fits well and works with nursing my daughter.

However, my search ended when I received a great underwire nursing bra from Anita International for review! It not only FITS (which is always a gamble with my ever changing breast size!) but it is really comfortable and works great as a T-shirt bra!

Anita International’s Maternity Collection is a beautiful European line for pregnant moms offering everything from nursing bras to baby sherpas. Anita Maternity is feminine and sexy, yet practical and versatile with options that accommodate up to a I cup. They offer nursing bras with extra-wide openings for convenient breastfeeding and they provide added comfort with foam lining throughout the straps.

I really love their New limited edition designs for 2013 that includes polka dots, florals and stripes in soft and flirty hues!

The bra I received is pictured above! The breathable underwired nursing bra is made of spacer fabric and is suitable as T-shirt bra as nursing pads do not show through. I love that!

The perfectly fitting and particularly flexible underwires are non-restricting and mold to every movement. I really feel comfortable in this bra and I feel a little extra lift that I could definitely use after nursing two children! Plus, it is really easy to nurse in!

I also received two great pairs of their super comfy briefs! I have also had trouble in the past with having underwear be comfortable in that last trimester of pregnancy. These briefs from Anita International solve that problem because the stretch and grow with your growing body! Plus, they give great coverage on the back! :)

So, if you are struggling to stay comfortable in your underwear while you are pregnant or nursing, let Anita International help you find the perfect comfortable bra or underwear to fit your needs! I know they have met mine!

Buy It: You can purchase Anita International’s products at specialty online retail stores as well as retailers in cities nationwide. Anita Maternity retails from $46 - $74. To find a retailer near you and view the entire maternity collection, visit www.anita.com.

Stay Comfortable & CUTE while Nursing with Lorna Drew Lingerie!

Losing the weight and feeling great after having a baby can take a longgggg time! But a little secret to feeling and looking better about yourself is to have a cute set of lingerie to wear once in awhile to show off those post-baby assets (especially if you are nursing!) :)

That is why I love the lingerie set I received from Lorna Drew! The nursing bra and underwear is super comfortable and is made from the softest materials! Plus, the bra is made for nursing with ease so I can wear it all the time!

I received the beautiful Alexa Baby Blue & Ivory set and I just LOVE the color! This beautiful satin Nursing Bra holds and supports to give amazing shape and lift while Brazilian cut briefs give a fashion edge to this design. The stunning colour blocking in silky soft satin looks as good as it feels to wear. Smooth elastic strapping frames the bust and gold adjusters add the finishing touch to this uniquely stylish design.

All Lorna Drew Nursing Bras are lined in 100% Pure Cotton all day soft fresh feel.

This bra did seem to run a little small so keep that in mind when ordering! It also has a seam that runs down the center of the cup so it does look a little awkward with tighter shirts.

They also offer great breast pads that can fit nicely into the breast pad pockets of each bra! I didn't even know they were there once they were in but they added comfort and protection against any leaking!

So don't forget to look cute underneath your clothes while nursing with the cute and comfortable lingerie from Lorna Drew!

Buy It: You can purchase all Lorna Drew lingerie from the Lorna Drew website.

Tips for Choosing the Right Bra

Choosing the right bra to buy may at first seem like a relatively simple task, but it can actually be quite complicated, especially when doing so for the first time. If you are new to wearing or bra or have just never been shown how to select the right bra size and style for your body shape, the task can actually be an intimidating one. You may find that you are too embarrassed to ask someone like a shop assistant for help, although perhaps consider asking a close female friend or even family member. There are lots of different things to consider when picking out a bra, especially as women come in all different shapes and sizes. Luckily, bras do too!

The issues regarding picking an appropriate bra range from the cosmetic to the medical. You would not want to wear a black bra, for example, under a white t-shirt as it will show through (unless that’s the look you’re going for, of course). That’s a cosmetic concern. Comfort wise, a bra that doesn’t fit properly will simply feel awful, and you will probably look the worse for it as you will be visibly uncomfortable. On a more long term note, wearing the wrong bra size for many years can cause bad posture or even back pain. If you take the time before shopping to carefully research the kind of bra you need, take accurate measurements and then shop as effectively as possible, the outcome will be much better and you will be much happier with whatever you choose to buy.

The percentage of women who have been wearing the wrong bra size for years is actually staggering. As daunting as it may seem, getting professionally measured is not at all scary and shop assistants will be more than happy to help. If you would be uncomfortable removing your current bra or shirt then they will sometimes measure over the top of what you are wearing. There are cheap bras out there, but most often they're not – don’t risk buying the wrong size, fit or colour and then never wearing it!

My Opinion

I absolutely love everything about this bra from HOTmilk!

It is not only super comfortable, but really cute and sexy too! Every time I slip this bra on, I feel like a woman...which is something that can be set aside when you are a mother!

It has really cute details starting with the jeweled square in the middle and the lacey bottom and straps.

Best of all, it is a nursing bra and is easy to unclip to feed my baby. It is supportive for a larger bust (like mine!) without being constricting and gives me good coverage.

If you want cute lingerie, even while pregnant and nursing, head over to HOTmilk's website and spoil yourself (and your hubby!) with some sexy and comfortable bra or panties!
