Bravado Seamless Bras that make you go ahhhh

Ok it ‘s is very hard to test all the gorgeous Maternity and Nursing bras that we have but for over 5 years now we have been selling the Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra and still it remains our best selling bra.

Why ? Well with respect it’s not the prettiest bra we have on our shelves, but something our customers have been telling us for years and years is that this bra is the most comfortable bra they have ever worn. It also does an amazing job of supporting you.

 

When I was in our Leeds Boutique I had a customer in the fitting room, we had various bras out ready for her to try, which she did – she wanted something pretty and something comfortable – so once we had sorted her out with the HOTmilk bra we turned our focus to the seamless one. I have to say we both had quite a laugh as when she put the bra she went silent for a minute… ‘ Are you ok in there ? ‘ I said – ‘Oh yes she replied, I think I just heard my breasts sigh with pleasure !’ A hilarious comment that still makes me giggle. The thing is though she is right and customers have been saying this for years, the Bravado Seamless bra is without any doubt the most talked bra we have ever had. Once bought and worn never forgotton it seems. 

However it doesn’t all end just with comfort, Bravado can offer a little more than that – the main selling point is that the material has memory in it so you can buy it at the beginning of your pregnancy and it will take you all the way through your pregnancy and back again. A great  value bra! If that is not enough there’s more, firstly it lifts you up  and give you a great shape. We have quite a few post natal customers that still come in for these bras, being seamless and so comfortable they cannot bear going back to underwire. Another very important point is  Bravado have cleverly put in some converter clips so once you have finally breastfed the last baby you can convert it back to a normal bra!  We stock the seamless bra in Ivory, Black and Butterscotch, it is very easy to fit ads it only comes in 4 different sizes – see below for a size guide.  Remember we offer advice on bra fitting over the phone so always feel free to call us on 01522 548811

Storksak Bags - A Review

Mummy & Little Me sell all top ranges of baby changing bags, and if your usual handbag of choice is a classic leather style, you'll love the Storksak range. The Elizabeth Tan is a popular choice for many mums, so we thought we'd take a look at what's loved about this bag.

Firstly, no-one need know it's even a changing bag.  It exudes the same style and elegance as any designer handbag - it's just way more practical! The beautiful tan leather looks divine and is not only chosen for its look but also its durability - so you can be confident this bag is going to last (a must when diving in and out of it 24/7).

The fresh classic tan shade works well for all seasons, and with any outfit or colour of pram.
You can use the shorter easy-grab handles for shoulder or 'crook-of-the-arm' wear, or attach the longer, adjustable, strap for 'hands-free'  messenger-style across the body wear, as well as popping it over the handles of your pram.
Do you need your mobile phone to hand at all times? The Elizabeth has two external pockets, one on the back and one to the front, which features a handy inbuilt phone sleeve.
But the inside of the Elizabeth is where the fun begins. You get 14, yes count them - 14 - storage spaces with the Elizabeth; all a mixture of sizes for varied uses. They use all manner of velcro, zip and elastic to secure your bits and bobs in place, making them easy to find - a godsend when you have a crying baby on your hands!
Of course, a changing mat comes included - Storksak's are lovely padded mats which fold neatly away.
For baby's bottles, you have more than one option with the Elizabeth - there is a separate thermo-insulated bottle holder, as well as a 'pop-out' insulated bottle pocket which is removable from the lining of the bag and secures with press studs.  These keep your liquids cool or warm for up to 4 hours.

For you, there is a detachable zipped bag, perfect for mummy essentials we think, which attaches inside the bag to a clip that doubles up as a key ring (and also would work as dummy fob).  Or you can keep your valuables safe in the zipped pocket in the lining of the bag.
You will have fun playing with what to put where - you have lots of choice as there are lots of elasticated and multi-compartment pockets in the lining of the Elizabeth to keep things organised.  Plus, all the lining is wipe clean - perfect for any spills.
This bag will work just as well when baby is small, as well as when they grow into a toddler and you need to carry around their snacks and toys - it's not too big, and not too small.  We think the Storksak Elizabeth is just perfect.



Aden and Anais help me dream

I'm not a betting woman, but if I was I would bet that the Aden and Anais dream blankets are the softest baby blankets on the market.
About a year ago  Aden and Anais were kind enough to give me one of their Dream giraffe blankets for my daughter. Being a successful stockist of the fabulous muslins they felt we should stock the blankets .... well I have a dark secret that I feel I need to confess. Connie my 5 year old never got her blanket, she refers to it as mummy's blanket - why ? Because as soon as I got it out the box I knew I couldnt give it up. I'd love to say it's my afternoon nap blanket but let's face it when do we get a chance to nap in the afternoon .... Oh but it's divine delicious and somehow uterley comforting, it makes you feel  all safe and secure. Of course being made from layers of muslin of course it's soft, but now I know why they call it the Dream blanket !
Big enough for mummy's dreams as well but don't tell anyone.

It's hard to imagine life before Storksak ........

Over the last few years it's safe too say we've sold a few baby changing bags, in fact dare we say we think of ourselves as the leaders for impartial advice on changing bags. We stock all the major brands, Pink Lining, Pacapod, il Tutto, Skip Hop, Rosebud, Oioi, Babumule. The only mistake we think we made was overlooking Storksak until relatively recently. We saw them at shows, their stands always busy but for some reason we walked past for 4 years ....in 2011 we woke up and stocked the lovely Storksak!
And hooray that we did, we can't even imagine  life before Storksak . They are a very  stylish changing bag, they  look great,  but on top of that are very practical. Best of both worlds !!

The best selling Storksak are the  Elizabeth bags, the most stylish changing bag on the market, big enough for your lap top if your a working mummy but small enough that you can't fit the kitchen sink in - otherwise we know you would try. To look at it you would never know it's hidden secret, it does not scream "I have nappies and milk inside". It's very understated but don't let that lull you into thinking it's not the thorough bred of changing bags. Beautiful quality leather  with a long zip at the top once you open it up you discover why storksak are so popular. With an elegant wipe clean lining it's filled with enough pockets for you, your little one and their older sibling. The extra features like a stand to keep your milk upright, or a purse which you can unhook and take out the bag, or maybe the key fob. Not too mention all the normal extras like insulated milk warmers, or a nice quality changing mat.  So to sum up the Storksak Elizabeths are elegant, understated and immensely practical!
All you need to do now is work out which colour you want!!
