Underwear. It's a pretty taboo subject in the blogging world. But what happens when you find the most perfect and practical underwear that you just need to share with the rest of the world?! That's the dilemma I was in. Unless I'm talking to my friends, I don't feel that comfortable in discussing - and showing pictures - of my underwear however, when I came across the brand Nüdwear, I had to put my discomfort aside.  Friends Astrid Montalta and Sammy Ivanko met while working on Wall Street in New York. They both became engaged while living in London in 2011 and in their search for that perfect wedding dress they realised that what you wear underneath the dress on your big day is just as important as the dress itself. They found out that the seamless lingerie on the market wasn't that great so they both set out to create their own and Nüdwear was then born in 2012. Today, their designs are being sold in over ten countries around the world. I was sent a few things from the brand and I've been trying them out for a few weeks now. The Feather-lite thong* is made from luxury lightweight microfiber and they are elastic band free which means that they provide maximum comfort and the ultimate seamless fit. These are wonderful. I often wear tight fitted clothing around my bottom area and these don't show through at all. When it comes to disco pants, I always find myself feeling self conscious about whether or not I have the dreaded VPL but with these thongs, I no longer worry. They're incredibly comfy and extremely practical. The Nippies - Adhesive Gel Nipple Covers* aim to seamlessly conceal your nipples under clothes. They're made from 100% soft silicone gel and they are reusable up to 100 times. When peeling these off, they're completely pain-free and they do their job. They don't show up under clothes and they keep those pesky nipples at bay. And finally, the wonder product. The Strapless Backless Adhesive Clear Gel Bra* is one of those bras that every woman needs in her drawer. In the picture above, I'm wearing one of my favourite playsuits. For a while now, it's been hiding in the back of my wardrobe because every bra I wore with it ending up peaking through so this bra was literally a godsend to me. Like the Nippies, this bra is made from 100% soft silicone gel and can be reused up to 100 times. It's invisible under clothes, looks natural, supports the breasts and doesn't irritate the skin. Unfortunately, this bra is only available up to a D cup but if you're an A-D cup then I highly recommend investing in one of these. They're a must-have! Have you tried anything from Nüdwear before? What are your thoughts on the brand?

HAUL: Boux Avenue
































In case you didn't know, a while back I won a Boux Avenue competition and for winning, I received a £250 gift card*. Before I get into this post I'd just like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who voted for me. I really do appreciate it. I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about writing this post for a while now - mainly because a lot of the items I bought with my gift card were underwear items and after all, blogging about my underwear is a little bit weird. But I've been using/wearing the items for a while now so I thought I'd do a little "summary" post about the brand itself, my experience with them and what I ended up buying. So, although my gift card came loaded with £250 on it, I actually only ended up spending £236 of it. This was because I thought I'd leave a little bit on there for the next time I go to Meadowhall so I can treat myself again. I actually ended up getting a lot of items from the online store. I bought myself five bras (12345), eleven pairs of knickers (1234567 x3, 89), a hot water bottle, some hand cream, a nightshirt, a chiffon wrap, a night playsuit (now out of stock) and six further pairs of knickers for my friends. I was very impressed by the delivery from Boux Avenue - my items arrived two days after I'd ordered them and the delivery was free (as I'd spent over a certain amount of money). The items came packaged, as you can tell, beautifully and the whole box smelt lovely too. The quality of the items are just outstanding. The bras and knickers are incredibly comfy and fit perfectly. Overall, I can't recommend this brand enough. It's luxurious, beautiful and womanly. You can view their website here.

* The gift card was given to me free of charge for winning a competition however, I have not been compensated for writing this blog post nor was I even asked to write one.

Boux Avenue Knickers Sale

I don't know about you but for me, the Christmas season is the time of year where I put on quite a bit of weight. And when you do put on weight, you don't exactly feel your best. Luckily for us though, Boux Avenue are having a huge sale on their knickers! There's no better way to start the new year than with a brand new underwear drawer. Throw out the old ones, invest in a few new ones and immediately, you'll feel better within yourself.
123456789101112
Above I've picked out 12 pairs of knickers that are my favourites from the sale. As you can see, there really is a pair for everyone. Pair 1, 2 and 3 are sexy in a discreet way, pair 4 are perfect for quickly throwing on when you want to go to the supermarket, pair 5 are great for comfortable days in, pairs 6, 7, 8 and 9 are just the cutest things I've ever seen and of course, pairs 10, 11 and 12 are faultless when it comes to giving that special someone a little bit of eye candy. 
As well as the knickers being in the sale, Boux Avenue offer free standard UK delivery on orders over £50, free UK returns by post or in store and free next day delivery to Boux Avenue stores so there really is no excuse not to overhaul your underwear drawer this New Year.
