Happy National Cleavage Day!

Eleven years ago, in 2002, Wonderbra decided to celebrate cleavage by giving it an official day of it's own and so National Cleavage Day was born.

I really like National Cleavage Day because, to me, it represents the mile stone of acknowledging I'm a woman and being happy in my skin.  As a developing teenager I hated the sight of myself developing boobs and looking like a woman.  I didn't feel defined as anything particular when I was just a girl and life was simple.  The encroachment of womanhood threatened me and I spent half my teenage years trying to convince myself nothing was happening and hid behind baggy tops.  Now I'm a grown adult I'm relieved to say I left that feeling of resentment and embarrassment behind me.  To be proud of my cleavage is liberating and I actual revel in being a woman with all my curves now.  National Cleavage Day is a bit of light hearted fun but marks an epic personal achievement.  If you have ever felt like I did (and still can; come on, we all have frumpy fat days) then I raise my glass of pink bubbly to you -

Happy National Cleavage Day!

The 27th March also sees the Wonderbra Honours List of the cleavage kind, with 10 ladies (and 1 guy!) being honoured for their cleavage contributions with celebratory (and imaginary) OBEs and CBEs - Officer of the Breast Empire and Commander of the Breast Empire, naturally!  Here they are:

Holly Willoughby on The Voice

(Dame)

Carol Vorderman at the Pride of Britain Awards

(Dame)

Cheryl Cole on her UK tour

(CBE)

Pippa Middleton in her "Let's Celebrate" Book

(CBE)

Tulisa Contostavlos at Rylan Clark's fancy dress party

(CBE)

Rylan Clark in Celebrity Big Brother

(CBE)

Helen Flanagan on I'm a Celebrity

(OBE)

Lucy Mecklenburgh on holiday in Barbados

(OBE)

Katherine Jenkins at the Epsom Derby

(OBE)

Sam Faiers at the BAFTAs

(OBE)

My favourite faces here are Holly Willoughby and Katherine Jenkins who I agree are fantastic representatives of a well dressed cleavage.  I'm really surprised Kelly Brook didn't make the list, for her part in Keith Lemon's movie.  Who are you pleased to see in the honoury list and who would you not have included?

Oh, and before I go, I guess you've been waiting to hear who the lucky winner of the gorgeous Wonderbra is?  

The winner is...

Blog Birthday Giveaway! #5 Freya Gem

This competition is now CLOSED - winners announced soon!

It may be Day 5 of my blog's birthday giveaways but it's not coming to an end just yet!

I've worn and reviewed so many bras and knickers in the two years I've been writing this blog that I'm hard pressed to think which have been my favourite pieces.  There have simply been so many brands and styles I've enjoyed looking at and wearing.  One bra that does come easily to my mind happens to be the prize that today's brand has decided to award to the winner.  This bra in particular didn't just impress me ridiculously so when I first saw it in person, but has become my favourite go-to bra to wear since I got it.  It's the Freya Gem.

Freya Lingerie are simply one of the most desirable lingerie brands on the market in terms of their eclectic range of collections which enthrall and excite season after season.  Something so many large bust brands misconceive is the notion that if you have a larger bust you must want to wear something dowdy, and Freya buck the trend with their hot colours and quirky patterns.

Freya Lingerie are offering 1 lucky winner the tantilising Freya Gem Bra and Brief set.  To enter, simply complete the quick 'n' easy tasks in the Rafflecopter below.

I can't believe it's Day 4 of the giveaways already!  I'm really enjoying hosting these gorgeous prize draws and I hope you're having as much fun entering.  It's not only amazing to see how many lingerie brands value the blogger circuit but it's so cool to see all of your support for my own blog.  It means so much and I wish I could give you all a huge hug to say thanks.

Alexis Smith have kindly lined up a stunning lingerie set for those with D-G cups - the sexy plunging White Satin Bra and Brief set.  To enter, simply complete the quick 'n' easy tasks in the Rafflecopter below.
