Fussy Busty's Thursday Faves 10/25 ....A day late...

I was really busy yesterday, but there are still some great reads this week that I wanted to highlight :-)

 



 

 

We ARE Good Enough  - Oh how I LOVE this post by Erica at A Sophisticated Pair. It's a wonderful read and I don't want to give too much away so that you HAVE to go read it :-)

Breast Bullying  - Claire at The Butterfly Collection talks about what Breast Bullying is and how we can stop it. I grew up with big boobs and always took flack from my family, friends, and even the people that I dated it. It hurts and it needs to stop.

Also, if you didn't know, the girls over at Invest In Your Chest are celebrating their 2nd Blogiversary! Go check out their blog! They have tons of giveaways that you can enter to win :-) 22 days left to go!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As part of Thursday Faves, I am going to start including any relevant sales that I see on bras. I get all these emails in my inbox that I usually ignore (I am on a bra buying hiatus until after all of my Christmas shopping is finished....I solemnly swear I am up to no good....)

Both BraStop and LoveBras are offering free shipping to UK address and half-off worldwide! Yay for only paying $6 instead of $12 to the US for shipping. Also, they have tons of bras that are up to 75% off on the site (including bikinis!). Good until midnight Sunday 10/28

Bras are BOG1 1/2 off at Lane Bryant's Cacique (for those of you under a UK 44FF)

If you see anything else, feel free to comment :-)

 

Upcoming Reviews:

Elomi 'Betty' plunge bra (40HH)
Panache 'Tango II' Balconnet bra (in a 38J this time)
Elomi 'Energise' Sports Bra (in the sample size 38JJ that Eveden sent me)

Fussy Busty's Thursday Faves 10/11

 

 

Today's Thursday faves are all photos from my morning today. I am currently working as a nanny while I finish up my master's, so every day is something new with the kids. This morning the 4 year old and I went out to "pick berries" at 9 am (and 31 degrees.....*bbrrrrrr*) and we discovered that the family has a buckeye tree in their yard.

I'm from Ohio. We are the buckeye state. My husband's entire family is full of die-hard OSU Buckeye Football Fans. I employed the 4 year old to help me collect ALL of the buckeyes we could find. I am going to use my husband's drill and get my craft on later and put together some Christmas gifts after the buckeyes dry out. Perhaps some wreaths? Necklaces? Ideas abound!

 

 

[caption id="attachment_395" align="aligncenter" width="560"] Look at all the buckeyes!!![/caption]

 

[caption id="attachment_394" align="aligncenter" width="225"] A buckeye was trying to evade our collection by hanging out in its shell.[/caption]

 

[caption id="attachment_396" align="aligncenter" width="560"] Yep; We used one of their sand buckets. We actually ended up with almost double what you see here.[/caption]

 

[caption id="attachment_397" align="aligncenter" width="560"] All gone![/caption]

 

Updates:

• Still waiting on my Panache Sienna to get here so that I can try it again (got it in a 38K; too big in the cups, so re-ordered a 38JJ); Sending back the Tango for a 38J.


• Winners for the giveaway were posted; I'll be working on coding data and compiling results in the next week. Thanks again to everyone that participated!!

This weekend is my husband and I's anniversary trip, so the blog/facebook/twitter will be exceptionally quiet Sunday-Wednesday.

***LOVE YOUR BOOBS. OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU DID A SELF EXAM?***

Even if you're only slightly involved in the lingerie blogging community, you are sure to have heard about Linda the Bra Lady's faux pas of suggesting that bras are vanity sized (ick. even typing that makes me want to gag - now you know how I feel about it!!). For anyone doubting the authenticity of the Daily Mail's quotes of Linda, click here to see the original article that Linda promoted on her own FB page.

Here's some great blogger's responses to this:

Congratulations, We all Win  - Sweets writes an amazingly eloquent post about NOT competing with each other and NOT comparing our breast sizes.

A Little Bit of Bra Info is a Dangerous Thing - Claire touches on the fact that sharing inaccurate bra information is detrimental to women as a whole, and also talks about why the +4 method was used and isn't always necessary now.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - For the Love of Lingerie notes different ways you can celebrate, donate and save some $$$ by showing some love to boobies :-)

_________________________________________________________

Side note: I do not feel as though bras are "vanity sized".

Also, please take the time to ENTER my giveaway!! :-) Contest ends Monday, 10/8.   **Complete nerd moment: the key to my SPSS software from my stats class last quarter is still valid, and I will be coding data to do an actual correlational analysis to determine if there is INDEED a connection to # of wears and wash habits. Please be sure to answer all parts of the contest to the fullest extent possible :-)
