It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the retro lingerie aesthetic. In a world of strappy black lingerie, I’m the one who still reaches for crazy prints and girly lace. I put together a list of some of the best vintage inspired bras for those of us with an extra helping of curves. While…

Nursing sports bras are a more casual, athleisure wear support solution for new moms. They’re not so much about working out or getting back into your pre-pregnancy shape.

Ever had a bra that irritated your skin? Or one that pinched you underneath your arms? Maybe you are more sensitive to seams, hardware, and fabrics. Now imagine how difficult it is for those who have been through breast cancer treatments. They not only have painful surgical sites (with or without reconstruction) but must face additional…
Swimsuit season is almost here, even though I know some of you were still wearing your parkas last week on the East Coast. Even if it’s still a little chilly where you live, it’s time to pick out a swimsuit. Whether you’re planning a summer vacation or just hanging around your pool, now is the…
