Baby Blues No More With Bravado
Sep 30, 2009 Bra
Nothing should come in between you and nursing your little one. A bra that doesn’t work well can and will get in the way. You need a bra that can help you, not hinder you. A good nursing bra can be comfortable, functional and as well.
Bravado nursing bras are just the thing for nursing moms who are struggling with their bras. The best thing about Bravado bras is that they offer varying alternatives to nursing moms everywhere.
I tried out a couple of Bravado nursing bras, and here are my top three picks.
The Bravado Exquisite Nursing bra is great for fashion-conscious moms. Its sleek design is made with rich European lace and Bravado CottonFlex fabric. What’s unique about this bra is it has a nickel-free gold clip. I love that it looks better than some regular bras on the market. That is how fashionable this nursing bra is. The cups are flexible and comfortable. The clasps though, need a little getting used to. It’s sometimes hard to nurse the baby because the clips tend to get stuck. Other than that, the Bravado Exquisite Nursing bra is great! It even comes with matching boy shorts!
Next up is the Bravado Plus! Original Nursing bra should you need more support for your heavier. It features clips lie flat under close fitting clothing and can be opened and closed with one hand. What sets this bra apart is that it is styled like a sports bra that provides excellent upper-middle back support and holds straps in place. It also has adjustable shoulder straps to make nursing easier. Also, its wide under elastic provides even weight distribution and under-breast support, and doesn’t ride up or slip. The downside to this bra is that it can get uncomfortable after a while.
Last on our list is the Bravado Lifestyle Nursing bra. This bra promises to be comfortable through work and day. The Lifestyle Microfiber Nursing Bra features an innovative cup lining called Bravado CottonFlex™, a revolutionary double-sided fabric that gives you the comfort of cotton on one side and the benefits of polyester/spandex on the other. The downside? It doesn’t hold as much shape as it promises. And remember to air dry these as they lose shape faster if you just throw them in the dryer.
Bravado bras worked well for me. They are pretty enough to wear even on workdays.

Six Nursing Bras Buying Tips
Sep 27, 2009 Bra
2) What type of nursing bra should I buy?
There are so many types of nursing bras on the market and for a range of prices. It can be overwhelming knowing where to start. While you are pregnant and purchasing a nursing bra for both maternity and nursing, it is best to buy a nursing bra that is supportive with some extra room for pads which you will need in the early nursing stages. The best types of nursing bras for soon after delivery are those that can expand several cup and band sizes. The bras that stretch to fit multiple sizes typically do not have an underwire and are softcup which maximizes cup accommodation ability as well as comfort for the early stages of nursing.
3) What features should I look for in a nursing bra?
The most important feature in a nursing bra is comfort. Many women find that their expand a full cup size or two when pregnant and nursing. It is often uncomfortable sleeping at night without a bra or even showering without a bra if your cup size is quickly moving down the alphabet. Many women find they need a range of bra types from an easy support sleeping and lounging bra to a more supportive daytime bra. If you plan on pumping it is good idea to get a hands free nursing and pumping bra which is extra supportive.
4) How do I get the most mileage out of my nursing bra?
As you know your cup and band size will fluctuate when pregnant and nursing. After you have your baby you will find your rib size will gradually decrease. If you are buying a nursing bra in your last trimester, it is a good idea to buy one that is not too tight around the band. Many bras have several adjustment hooks on the back to allow several size differences in the band. Look for a bra where you are on the last hook in your last month of pregnancy. You can also buy bra extenders that allow you to extend your strap by several band sizes for a bra that is too tight around the rib cage.
5) What nursing bras are easiest to use?
There are many different styles in nursing bras such as the cross over pull down style, cups that you unhook from each side, those that snap and those that clip. Find the style that works easiest for you. Many women find having several different styles may accommodate their lifestyle the easiest. If you plan to wear a nursing bra at night, look for a light support pull down bra. Chances are if you are half asleep and in the middle of the night you don’t want to be fumbling around in the dark for a hook or a snap and your baby will not want to wait around to be fed. For your daytime bra, make sure the snap or hook stays in place with your usual movements and activities as there is nothing worse than a cup coming unhooked on its own in public or trying to rescue a bra that is leaving you lopsided while checking out at the grocery store.
6) What if I want to exercise?
Fortunately today there are a lot of great nursing sport bras on the market, so you can still hit the gym and get the bra support you need when you are a nursing mom. Bravado! makes an excellent nursing sports bra with a lot of great support and comfortable fabric. Sports bras in particular need to have secure snaps to make sure you don’t pop out while on the treadmill or lifting weights. Comfort in fit and range in motion is also very important, so make sure you get a bra that fits properly with room to support your breasts’ ebbs and flows with your nursing cycles.

In the Jeans: Denim Trends for Spring-summer 2009
Sep 24, 2009 Fashion
Fashion is in constant motion, but perhaps no article of attire has changed as radically as the not-so-humble blue jean. Originally intended as tough gear for field workers – because the fabric did not wear out easily – the blue jean has gone through a number of incarnations to become as much a wardrobe staple as is the white shirt.
The good news is that today, fashion-conscious men and women can find the perfect jeans to fit their bodies and their style. Anything goes! Whether you love a classic boot-cut jean, a trendy skinny jean, or a glamorous embroidered or painted jean, there’s a style out there that’s going to make you happy. And isn’t that what fashion is all about?
“We used to see that there was one big style of jeans each season that everyone just had to have,” said Barabino. “What we’ve seen this year is that there are many different shapes and colors that have become popular.”
She added that one of the most popular designers of jeans continues to be Sweden-based Nudie Jeans Co., which creates jeans for men that embrace the philosophy that a pair of jeans should feel like a second skin.
“Nudie doesn’t look at a jean as just a trend,” Barabino said. “The company really looks at jeans as a wardrobe staple that should look good and feel great.”
With that in mind, the earth-friendly and socially conscious Nudie Jeans offerings at Glamway24 include a number of shapes and colors sure to please everyone. For instance, the Thin Finn offers a body-conscious shape that fits slim all the way down, while the Even Steven provides a lower yoke and a straighter leg.
Colors for Nudie Jeans run the gamut from light blue to black – any of which would look great with anything from a simple T-shirt to a shirt and jacket. As an added bonus, the company only uses organic cotton grown and produced under a strict code of conduct – it’s good for the earth and good for your skin!
“Embroidered jeans can be very glamorous or very Boho-chic,” said Barabino. “They look paired with a great, form-fitting T-shirt or a beautiful blouse. One of the hottest trends – and I think it’s going to stay around for a long time – is a preference for clothes that have the feeling of human hands, such as embroidery or tailoring. The simple fact is that as these skills become rarer, the clothes that exhibit them are going to become more popular.”
