Ten June: $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway {Lily of France Lingerie}

$100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway {Lily of France Lingerie}

Friends, let’s talk about something important today: boobs. Or better yet, the piece of clothing that supports your boobs: the all-important bra. In about seven weeks (or less!), I’ll be strapping on nursing bras. Not that exciting. But until then, I’m loving wearing fun, flirty bras. So when Lily of France contacted me to review a few of their new bras, I was pretty excited! Sign me up.

The first bra I received is called the Extreme Lightly Lined. My sample came in a fun purple silk edged with leopard print. Va-va-voom. This bra is really perfect for plunging necklines. I’ve got a few tops and one particular dress that this type of bra is perfect for. I specifically remember wearing said dress to a wedding and having my bra show at the plunging neckline; I tugged on it all night long! You know that’s happened to you… too bad I didn’t have this fabulous bra when I needed it then! Definitely a good one.

The second bra I received is called the Extreme Push-Up Underwire. My sample of this bra also included a funky leopard edging, but this time the rest was made out of hot pink satin. Once I put the bra on, I realized that hot pink was the perfect color for this sexy piece of lingerie. By “Extreme Push-Up,” Lily of France definitely means extreme push-up. Lily of France doesn’t play around! I met David for lunch wearing this bra and a plain ol’ v-neck t-shirt...I wondered if he would notice my new “help.” Let's just say it was nothing short of hilarious. I definitely got more than a few looks from him and a wow or two. Or five. This bra definitely does its job, providing support and a little something-something extra in the form of push-up support. It's an absolutely great bra for when you need a pick-me-up (literally!).

Finally, the third bra I received is called the Extreme Options^™. And. I. Love. It. Seriously, my new favorite bra. I received this soft silk bra in a pretty nude shade and instantly fell in love. It’s got sixty-two different ways that you can wear the bra (seriously, 62!), like halter, crisscross, racerback and a multitude of “regular” ways. The bra also came with push-up insert pads and optional straps (opaque and clear). It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of bras, I’m telling you. I’ve had a pretty navy blue work dress that I never wear because my normal bra straps hang out and I hate wearing a strapless bra to the office all day. Cue the Extreme Options bra. I modified the straps so they were in the racerback form, and voila! No more creeping bra straps. I absolutely love it! This bra will definitely work its way into my “regulars” pile.

All in all, I really loved each of these bras. To be honest, I’m not sure I’d be the first to select a leopard-edged hot pink push-up bra, but I sure am happy when I wear it! It’s kind of fun to wear and alternate with the more traditional nude and black bras. And of course the shapes and gizmos behind each of these are awesome.
