In the Caffeine Queen PJ Set I ordered a size 18, and they are perfect!! It is also available in a nighty / long t-shirt dress here; Caffeine Queen Boyfriend Tee (just £15.20 with my code cat20off). How cuuuuuute!

Caffeine Queen PJ Set

These have been my favourite PJs, of the three sets that I have received in the last 6 months! You will see my instagram is absolutely full of photos of these!

They’re just really stylish and comfortable! I love the fitted, but loose/casual tee, and the trousers have a lovely ribbon drawstring.

“Eden Side Support” in Blush Mix with Brazilian matching briefs.

In the “Eden Side Support” in Blush Mix I ordered a 34HH and in the Brazilian matching briefs I ordered a size 18.

The Eden Side Support is a bestseller (that was the theme of this month’s underwear section). I can tell why!! It fits an absolute dream. Even with my awkward shape, it’s utterly perfect.

Energy Mesh Panel Sports Leggings and Energy Rush Lightly Padded Underwired Sports Bra.

And finally in the sportswear set, I ordered a 34H in the Energy Rush Lightly Padded Underwired Sports Bra and an 18 in the Energy Mesh Panel Sports Leggings.

They both fit GREAT! I have worn them hiking, walking, pilates, weights/squats and for yoga, and they are awesome!!!! The waistband rolled down a tiny bit when I was doing yoga, but I think that’s because I have a size 14/16 waist, so they weren’t quite digging in enough. Some of the smaller ladies in the #TeamPourMoi gang (sizes 10 and 12) recommended sizing up in the leggings for a true squat proof fit. I’m a size 18/20 according to the size guide and the 18 fit perfectly. So check the size guide, and if in doubt, go up a size! The returns are great, anyway! Ha!

Blue Vanilla Curve – again

I have been very fortunate to be asked to pick a few items from Blue Vanilla Curve again! I’m so over the moon!

This is the Lucie jumper (LUCIE CURVE 2 IN 1 JUMPER). It’s a faux layered top. It’s a soft jersey jumper, with satiny feel light material in leopard print. It’s available in sizes 18-28.

The leopard print faux shirt is asymmetric and has the cutest puffy sleeves at the wrists!!

I’m a size 18/20 according to the size guide. I got a size 18 and it fits perfectly.

It has a high-ish neck, but the jumper material is really soft and stretchy.

I think this is a really versatile piece!

I’ve styled it here with shiny/faux leather leggings.

I think it would be perfect to dress up for a night out, the high neck means it’s modest whilst being stylish.

I also think you could dress it down with jeans or cotton/viscose leggings for day-to-day wear.

The material of the jumper is perfect to wear alone in spring and autumn, that lovely light, thin, jumper material. Great layered for winter too.

It’s also available in black leopard print in sizes 10-14 (Renata – 2IN1 LEOPARD PRINT HEM & SLEEVE JUMPER).

Then here we have the Susan oversized top (SUSAN – CURVE SHIRRED COLLAR ASYMMETRIC TOP) in sage. I’m wearing it with Vanessa leopard print leggings (VANESSA – CURVE SOFT TOUCH LEGGINGS).

The top is available in sizes 18-28 and is also available in stone. It’s a light, very thin material, and it drapes beautifully. It has a shirred collar and shirred sleeves (3/4 length). I’m wearing a size 18/20.

The leggings are THE most comfortable fashion leggings I’ve ever owned!! They’re available in size 18-26. I’m a size 18-20 according to the size guide, and I’m wearing a size 18. There’s plenty of room in the tummy area.

Overall, all three items are an absolute WIN! I adore them all. I’ve worn the leggings SO much and they’ve washed really well.

Pour Moi – December Box – Part 2

The penultimate month!

You can use 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝟮𝟬𝗼𝗳𝗳 for 20% off on full price / non-sale items on Pour Moi’s website for one more month – until 31/01/2021. Any writing in blue is a link 🖤

Let’s start with my favourite item from December’s box.

My “worn to be seen” choice is the Suspense Underwired Body – Mulberry as it is just so beautiful, it comes in loads of different colours; black, ginger spice, mulberry, white, and red (each word is a link to the different colour!).

The Suspense Underwired Body come in back size 32-38 and cups B-G. I “sister sized” in this and got a 34G. As I’m a 34HH, but a size 16-20, I never thought I’d be able to get a bodysuit!! My true “sister size” would be a 36H or 36GG, but as I’m bottom heavy, this 36G fits perfectly.

I’d maaaaaybe be better off with a 36GG, but hey… In all honesty, I just really wanted it – teehee! A bit of cleavage is achieved after a lil wriggle anyway teehee!

It is a really good fit, anyway!

I’ve really love the “Underwear as Outerwear” trend, and Pour Moi have so so many beautiful bralettes and bodysuits in their “worn to be seen” collection.

I just love how versatile a bodysuit like this is, so pretty and sexy, you could style it in so many ways.

I particularly love the double strap feature on this. It’s basically got two bra cups, a double layered mesh that ties halterneck and a lacy overlay that’s help up by the thicker/normal straps.

My PJ set was the Star Print Jersey Jogger Cotton Pyjama Set and it is SO comfy. It’s available in size 8-22, and there’s a matching Mini Moi set too, in ages 3-12.

Star Print Jersey Jogger Cotton Pyjama Set

I love the relaxed fit of these, and as I type I’m wearing the PJ bottoms! They have a loose-ish cuff on the ankle, and they’re a soft cotton-y feel material. The tiny white stars are printed on.

The set comes one sized. I got the size 18. According to the size guide I’m a size 18/20. The trousers fit perfectly. The top is quite oversized.

And, last be by no means least, I chose the Lara Slinky Jersey Wrap Front Long Sleeve Dress – Berry, which also comes in Black. I ordered a size 18, again.

I adore the colour, the wrap around sash, and the split! It’s ever so slightly on the thin side – the material – I think I’d have to wear shapewear on a night out to not be conscious of my belly showing. But, as you can see it drapes beautifully!

Pour Moi – December Box – Part 1

The penultimate month is here! I’m excited, but a little sad!

You can use 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝟮𝟬𝗼𝗳𝗳 for 20% off on full price / non-sale items on Pour Moi’s website until the end of January 2021. Any writing in blue is a link 🖤

This month as part of #TeamPourMoi I got to pick an item of nightwear, some lingerie that’s “worn to be seen” and an item of clothing from Pour Moi Clothing.

It’s also part of Pour Moi’s #FeelGoodChristmas and their Christmas Gift Guide. You can get Christmas delivery up until the 22nd December!!

Star Print Jersey Jogger Cotton Pyjama Set is exciting. Not only is it available in size 8-22, but there’s a matching Mini Moi set too, in ages 3-12.

Perfect if you’re looking for matching Christmas PJs, but you don’t want to be tooooo Christmassy, perhaps?

I ordered and size 18, and it fits great! The trousers are a tiny bit on the snug side, but I am a size 18/20 according to the size guide.

The top is quite generous, so you can wear it off the shoulder, and it’s a lovely relaxed fit.

Star Print Jersey Jogger Cotton Pyjama Set

My “worn to be seen” choice is the Suspense Underwired Body – Mulberry as it is just so beautiful, I’ve had my eye on this for some time!! It comes in loads of different colours; black, ginger spice, mulberry, white, and red (each word is a link to the different colour!)

I really enjoyed the “Underwear as Outerwear” challenge last time, I’m excited to do it again with this. With New Year’s Eve around the corner, I think it’d be a perfect outfit!!

A little while ago I took a trip to the Chester store, because I was insanely jealous of everyone styling bodysuits and as I’m a size 16-20 but a 34H/HH, I really wasn’t sure they’d fit me. I sister sized to a 36G like I do with swimwear and they’ve been utterly perfect. As my boobs are bottom heavy, I can get away with a smaller cup in a lot of styles, as ideally I’d need a 36GG/H to sister size correctly. I often find I need to go to a 36G when sister sizing, as realistically as my back size is 33″ so I’m closer to a 32HH/J than a 36GG/H, this means the back is quite loose, so it’s harder to keep all the breast tissue in the cups.

Oh, bra fitting is fun, isn’t it! Absolute flipping minefield – teehee!

Finally, I chose the Lara Slinky Jersey Wrap Front Long Sleeve Dress – Berry, which also comes in Black. Again, I ordered a size 18.

As always, don’t forget you can use 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝟮𝟬𝗼𝗳𝗳 for a discount on non-sale items, watch this space fr more reviews and next month’s final box. I post an awful lot over on my instagram and this month I have a lot of posts planned for Pour Moi’s #FeelGoodChristmas campaign.

Pour Moi – November Box – Part 2

November is drawing to a close. As of Tuesday, you can use 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗠𝟮𝟬 for 20% off on full price / non-sale items on Pour Moi’s website. All writing here in blue is a link 🖤

Be sure to check out the #BlackFriYay sales on the Pour Moi website, before midnight on Monday 30th November and score yourself up to 40% off sitewide!!!

So, a November Box run down. Inspired by other members of #TeamPourMoi I picked a chemise to style as a dress (you may recall that the first August box I had a chemise and swapped it). This is the Floral Jacquard Satin Chemise – Emerald, and it’s available in sizes 8-22. It’s quite a generous fit. I’m a size 18/20 according to Pour Moi‘s size guide, and I ordered a size 18. I’d say I could’ve got away with a size 16 really, there was plenty of space at the back.

The coolest/most versatile piece I got was India Lace Long Sleeve Tie Waist Wrap Over Shirt – Black it’s so awesome, it’s like a short gown, can be worn as a collared cardigan, a sheer shirt, or a wrap top. It’s flipping beautiful. I think my favourite is wearing it like a shrug/short cardigan and tying it at my waist. I’m wearing it here with the Opera Lightly Padded Balconette Bra – Black from my September Box.

Another reminder that you can use 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗠𝟮𝟬 for 20% off anything full price/non-sale as of Tuesday!

This is perfect for me, as I’ve been feeling very strange posting underwear photos on instagram, it feels much more comfortable with my arms covered.

Finally, Bella Slinky Jersey Long Sleeve Tea Dress – Black/Rose Bloom was my favourite. I have worn it LOADS this month.

I adore it! I got a size 18, and it fits perfectly. Bella also comes in a different pattern AND a wrap top. It’s also made with 47% recycled polyester, which is fantastic!

It’s stretchy, comfortable and soft. I really really love it. In dresses I’m anywhere from a size 16-20 (occasionally my bust puts me at a size 22 in non-stretch things). I ordered a size 18 and it fits a dream!! No gaping buttons and still fitted on my waist.

SIDE NOTE!! Today, I did a virtual bra fit with Pour Moi! I’ve created stories about it, and I’ll be sharing them on Monday on my instagram and then (if I manage to get it looking nice), I’ll make a highlight from them!

The woman I spoke to was so helpful, she was really knowledgeable, and gave me some great tips for bras at Pour Moi that will suit my shape. It’s giving me some great inspo as to what to look for in December and January’s boxes!!

All the items have been gifted, so this is an #ad, but all the opinions are my own and honest!

This month is all about 🖤 Black Friday 🖤 sales and starting to get ready for Christmas. I know, I know, I’m sorry for swearing… Talk of Christmas is usually banned until the 1st December for me, teehee!

For this month’s box I got to pick something in Black for #BlackFriYAY, something Christmassy (lots of reds, black with red, and PJs to choose from) from the Christmas Gift Guide and something from the Autumn/Winter Clothing drop.

URM, yes, you read that right CLOTHING! Pour Moi now have an extensive range of clothes in size 8-22. Check out the new Pour Moi Clothing on Instagram and there’s a dedicated section on the website too 👌

For Black Friday, I chose India Lace Long Sleeve Tie Waist Wrap Over Shirt – Black which is 10% off at £30.60 (was £34.00). I went for a size 18. It’s available in sizes 8-18.

From the Christmas Gift Guide, I chose the Floral Jacquard Satin Chemise – Emerald that’s £27.00 was £30.00 with 10% off. It’s available in size 8-22; and again, I went with a size 18.

Finally, for the Autumn/Winter Clothing, I picked Bella Slinky Jersey Long Sleeve Tea Dress – Black/Rose Bloom. It’s usually £39, but currently £31.20 with 20% off in the #BlackFriYay sales 👌 

There’s four different Bella’s it comes in a tea dress and a wrap top in the Black/Rose Bloom pattern or a Navy/Gold fleur-de-lis pattern. The tops are available in sizes 8-18 and the dresses are available in sizes 8-22.

I went for a walk on Sunday, and unapologetically wore my new dress with walking boots. I’m living my best autumn life.

Here’s the October Box – Part 1 blog post.

The October Box 🖤

Let’s start with a win.

For the nightwear choice, I picked a pyjama set from the “Luxe Woven” collection in the Kiku pattern. Here’s the trousers, with a plain black top:

I chose the Luxe Woven Back Secret Support T-Shirt – Kiku and the Luxe Woven Trouser – Kiku.

I absolutely ADORE the trousers. They’re soft, comfortable, stylish and the perfect length. They have an elasticated waist and I am totally in love with the pattern. They have an almost satiny feel to them whilst still being soft and not shiny; like silky linen, or non-stretch cotton.

Back view of Luxe Woven Back Secret Support T-Shirt – Kiku and Luxe Woven Trouser – Kiku

How cuuuuuuuute is the back of the matching top?! It’s the same silky soft material and I just adore the pattern.

The front of the top is soft, stretch jersey cotton, and underneath is a hidden support bralet. The edge of the v-neck is lined with the same cute Kiku pattern. 👌

Being brutally honest, I know, shock horror – me being a cheeky B 😂 the top is not something I’d usually go for. As my waist is about 10 inches smaller than my bust, I like my tops fitted, or shaped, so that I don’t look “boxy”. However, these are PJs at the end of the day and they’re flipping cute! I may not have bought them for myself, but I’m happy to have been gifted them.

Close up of the October Box

Velour Pyjamas in Berry, Charcoal, Teal and Black – each word is a link to the different colours available 🥰

Now, the fail 😩 the Velour Pyjama Set – Berry from The Helen Flanagan Edit. Absolutely STUNNING. The most luxurous velvety loveliness, unfortunately didn’t fit me well. I am just being MASSIVELY fussy here. I’m sureeeee you’re so sick of hearing me say “I’m so between sizes”… well, in the Pour Moi size guide, I’m right between a size 18 and a size 20.

I went for a size 18, and realistically, I should’ve got a 20. The trousers were quite snug on my thighs and there wasn’t enough room from crutch to waist for me – meaning I’d either have to wear them low and they’d dig into my love handles, or high and they’d be uncomfortable. I am 5ft 10, so I’d say if you’re shorter than me, they’d be absolutely fine to size down in! The top was a tad on the generous size, for me, as I like my tops fitted – as I mentioned before, I’m a bit obsessed with “not looking boxy” 🙄 honestly, I despair of myself sometimes. When I look at the collage I made above of the four different colours, the photo of the charcoal is not too dissimilar to how the top looked on me. I think if I could, I’d have swapped the top for a 16 and the bottoms for a 20. However, they come as a matching set. If I was a normal human, I’d have swapped it for a size 20 and shut my mouth about it, but hey… I’m not 😂

But, what this meant was I got to pick a different nightwear set, and well, I cannot tell you how glad I was an annoying fuss pot, because I got THE GREATEST loungewear/PJ set everrrrrrrrrrrr.

This beautiful set is from the Sofa Loves collection. I got the Sofa Love Cross Strapped Long Sleeve Top – Navy and the Sofa Loves Lace Trouser – Navy. WELL, I have been living in the set. It’s meant to be “luxury pyjamas” but I say pfft! I have been wearing them as loungewear, and even on evening video calls with friends 😂

The material is the softest, bounciest luxurious jersey stretch viscose. The trousers have pockets and a really comfortable elasticated waist. I adore the back detail on the top and it has the cutest little pocket on the front.

So, actually, I’m saying, both of these sets (the Sofa Loves collection and the Velour Pyjama Set) are utterly brilliant. Both ideal loungewear and pyjamas.

LASTLY, the pièce de résistance is the Rebel Strapless Padded Underwired Body – Black. If you follow me on Instagram (ahem, please follow me on instagram), you will have seen this in heavy rotation. I absolutely ADORE it. I sister sized, because real talk, I was insanely jealous of the other ambassadors wearing bodysuits.

I usually shy away from bodysuits, as I’m a size 20/22 bust, a size 14-18 waist and a size 18/20 hips, I just never think they’ll fit. I’m usually a 34H/HH, so I should’ve got a 36GG. I tried on a 36G in the shop, and as my boobs are “bottom heavy” it fit perfectlyyyyyy. The bodysuit is a tiiiiny bit snug, as a 38 would better suit my hips (realistically a 38G or a 36GG would be my sister size, but I needed the tightness of the 36 for the built in bra to give me enough support). Anyway, if all of that is as clear as mud, let’s just say I faffed around, and it’s great.

Detailsssss Rebel Strapless Padded Underwired Body – Black

As I’ve already mentioned, if you have a look on my Instagram, there’s several photos of me styling this beautiful body suit. I’ve always loved “underwear as outerwear” and WELL this has really cemented that love.

Yep, I’m obsessed. It’s also really comfortable.

I wouldn’t wear it strapless, as I reaaaaally need straps for support, but it’s just one of my favourite things so far.

So, all in all this month has been a RAGING success. I’ve got some beautiful staple pieces for my wardrobe, and I’m so grateful!

I adore adore adore everything, and I’ve worn them all multiple times now. They’ve washed well and they’re just so flipping comfortable.

Happy Catty!!

This month sees the launch of TWO celeb edits, and let me tell you, they are GORGEOUS!! Firstly, there’s the IndiaLovesPourMoi Collection and then there’s The Helen Flanagan Edit.

I chose the Rebel Strapless Padded Underwired Body – Black, from the The Helen Flanagan Edit I chose the Velour Pyjama Set and then we got to choose a set from the “new in” nightwear and I picked from the “Luxe Woven” collection in Kiku pattern.


The Rebel Strapless Body is just SO gorgeous! I’m so excited to get my hands on a bodysuit, as I’ve seen the other ambassadors styling them in so many different ways, and I’ve always been a big fan of “underwear as outerwear”. I sister sized in this and it fits an absolute dream, because I cheekily popped to the Pour Moi shop in Chester to try some on. Watch this space for a million different outfits featuring this, I cannot wait!


 

The Velour Pyjama Set – Berry from The Helen Flanagan Edit just looks SO comfy and cosy 💞 they’re just £33.60 when you use my code 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗠𝟮𝟬 and they’re available in Berry, Charcoal, Teal and Black.

Finally, I chose a pyjama set from the “Luxe Woven” collection in the Kiku pattern.

I chose the Luxe Woven Back Secret Support T-Shirt – Kiku and the Luxe Woven Trouser – Kiku.

They’re both available is size 8-22 and are just £19.20 for the trousers and £17.60 for the top with the code 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗠𝟮𝟬.

They’re just so stylish, I had to pop them on, as they’re so so silky soft!!

I cannot believe September is almost over and I’m only just writing this! OOOOOPS. I have spent every weekend this month either celebrating my birthday or chilling at the beach! It’s been wonderful, but not left me with much time to sit down and write.

Well, anyway… This month’s choices were SO epic and the box also included a couple of goodies!

Surprises from redcherry eyelashes and Dr. PAWPAW!

Included in this month’s box was some beautiful lashes from redcherry lashes in Sage and Dr. PAWPAW sent Tinted Peach Pink Balm, more on those later!

So, the Pour Moi items… Firstly, I got to choose another swimwear item or set.

I chose a bikini from the Sol Beach collection. I chose the Sol Beach Underwired Rope Top and the Sol Beach Foldover Brief.

This is THE best bikini I have ever owned. The material is thick and textured and just looks so high quality.

The top is super supportive, super cute and it is SO comfortable. I wore it 3 weeks ago to the beach (and last week too ha!), and I had it on for 11 hours without even really realising! When I got home, I kept thinking to myself, I must take this off, and kept forgetting ha! Supports like a bra, but so comfortable, no sore shoulders or digging on the sides.

You may have seen my instagram absolutely littered with this, as it’s just a perfect piece. Stylish and slightly different, but classic black so really versatile.

Sol Beach Underwired Rope Top

The bikini bottoms are super comfortable too, and the bottoms hide a multitude of sins and the material is just the right thickness. Not so thick they’re too warm in the sun, but supportive and slightly “holdy-in-y”. J’adore.

Then I got to choose an item of beachwear!

I chose Textured Print Wide Leg Trouser – Black/White and of course, I combined them with the bikini top 🖤

They’ve got a split up the side and a lovely deep waistband. True to size, comfortable and so stylish! Perfect beachwear, but totally good for summer trousers too!

Then I got to pick a Lingerie Set, Body, or Chemise from either Rebel , St Tropez, Flora, Twist, Rewind or Charnos.

I initially chose this beautiful set from the Rewind collection

The Rewind Underwired Bra and the Rewind Brazilian Brief

I absolutely adored the look of the double layer mesh under the bra. Also, I am a SUCKER for blue. It’s one of my favourite colours.

Unfortunately, as my boobs are “bottom heavy”, the shape of the bra didn’t suit me. I need plunge or balconette style bras, and although it looks like a plunge or a 3/4 cup bra in the photo on the website, it’s quite a full cup style. I was quite upset, as it’s honestly so so beautiful. The detailing is amazing and the colour!! The knickers also fit perfectly. If your boobs are even fullness, I’d really recommend this, it’s utterly stunning.

So, the Rewind collection was swapped for a Charnos set and I chose an Opera set

Opera Lightly Padded Balconette Bra
Opera Suspender – Black
Opera High Leg Brief – Black

I am so impressed with this set. It fits A DREAM (I got a 34H in the bra, as all the reviews say that it comes up large in the cup) and an 18 in the suspender and the knickers.

Opera set by Charnos

The set comes in black or white with choices of 3 bras in balconette, full cup and strapless and a choice in underwear of deep brief or high leg brief. There’s also a bodysuit, which is a bodyshaper.

Isn’t it beautiful!

The bra is great, I love that it’s balconette (as already mentioned – perfect for my shape), and it has the visible lace edges to soften it.

I adore how classic it is, but also the detailing is just so beautiful.

The dot effect and the lace together is so pretty. It’s not something that I ever would have pictured together, but I think it’s really elegant. Stylish and classy!

I love the hook and eye front fastening on the suspender belt too – it’s just gorgeous.


All in all, September’s box was an absolute win! I’m yet to try the lashes, but the lip balm is absolutely divine, and I’ve been using it often!

Pour Moi – August Box – Part 2

First things first – my discount code is CATM20 and that gives you 20% off all full priced items on the Pour Moi website.

Here’s my first blog post about it, and here’s August – Part 1. As always, anything in blue writing is a link 💙 If you’ve read the first post; you’ll know that, unfortunately, I didn’t like the swimming costume I chose (oops! I’m so awkward) and the chemise from the Rebel Collection was utterly divine, but NSFW for photos teehee.

SO! My August Box content changed! First I got to swap the swimming costume for a STUNNNNING bikini from Pour Moi‘s “Sea Breeze” collection.

A bikini from Pour Moi‘s “Sea Breeze” collection

In the “Sea Breeze” collection there’s 4 different styles of tops, tankinis, swimsuits and 3 different briefs… in WAIT FOR IT… three different colours/patterns!

I went with the “Green/Black/Coral” colour/design and I got:
The “Sea Breeze Longline Underwired Top – Green/Black/Coral“, it’s £30 (you can use CATM20 for 20% off full price items). I got a size 36G (sister sized and down a cup as it’s quite a “full cup” style and my boobs are quite bottom heavy, and I prefer to sister size in swimwear, so it’s not quite so tight on my back/ribs). It’s available 32-38 back sizes and C-H cups.

The “Sea Breeze Spot Fold Over Brief – Green/Black/Coral“, it’s £18 (you can use CATM20 for 20% off full price items). I got the size 18s, and they’re available in sizes 10-22.

Remix” collection set with Side Support Underwired Bra and deep brief

Second, I swapped my chemise from the Rebel Collection for a “Remix” set.

In the Remix collection, there’s a few choices; there’s two different bras, two different briefs, a bodyshaper bodysuit and a basque in this collection. They’re available in white, champagne and black.

I decided to go with the “Champagne” colour, as I thought it’d be a great edition to my wardrobe to wear underneath pale colours and white.

FUN FACT! Did you know peachy or red if you’re pale skinned and tan or brown if you’re dark skinned will show less under white clothes than a white bra!

Lightly Padded Underwired Bra & High Leg Brief


I chose the Remix Side Support Underwired Bra – Cappuccino in a size 34HH and the Remix High Leg Brief – Cappuccino in a size 18 (available in size 8-18). The Remix collection is available in 32-42 back sizes and D-J cups and sizes 8-22.

My final choice from the August box was a Statement set from “Contradiction by Pour Moi“. There’s 6 different options in the “statement” collection, two different bras, two different briefs, a suspender belt and a bodysuit 👌🏻

I got:
The Statement Underwired Bra – Black, it’s £22.40 (with the code CATM20) and I’ve got a size 34HH, it’s available in 32-42 back sizes and C-J cups (it’s £28.00 full price).

The Statement Suspender – Black, it’s £16.00 (with my code CATM20) I got a size 2XL, it’s available in sizes Small-2XL and has different hook and eye adjusters (it’s £20.00 full price).

The Statement Thong – Black, it’s £9.60 (with that code CATM20) I’ve got the size 18, and it’s available in sizes 8-18 (it’s £12.00 full price).

This was featured in the August – Part 1 blog post, recently.

Here’s the whole Contradiction range link and again, there’s 6 items in the statement (sizes 8-20, 32-42 back sizes and B-J cups).

REVIEW TIME! Let’s start with Pour Moi‘s “Sea Breeze” collection bikini! As I’ve already mentioned, this comes in loads of varieties, but I fell in love with the Green/Black/Coral version, as I love the colours and pattern. I chose the Longline Underwired Top and the Fold Over Brief.

So, I am absolutely IN LOVE with this bikini.

The shape of the Longline Underwired Top is great and it’s really supportive and comfortable.

I usually prefer padded bras and bikinis for shape and support, and I was really pleasantly surprised by this!

I’m OBSESSED with the pattern and the colours 😍

The Fold Over Briefs are awesome. The sizing is spot on, and just the right amount of coverage, and the fold over bit hides my lower tummy, without being too high waisted.

If you have bottom heavy boobs and are more suited to plunge and balconette styles, I’d recommend sizing down in the cup in the one. My sister size is 36GG (34HH is my size) and it was a bit big on the cups as they’re 3/4 to full cups.

I went to the beach at the weekend (Sunday 13th September) and wore this, and it was just perfect!

I love wearing bright colours with my bright hair.

I’ll be posting some more photos of this bikini soon, check out my instagram.

Gorgeous bikini from the “Sea Breeze” collection

Next up, the “Remix” set, in “Champagne“.

This is, no word of a lie, THE comfiest bra I have ever owned or worn!!!

It’s a 3/4 cup style (it looks more full cup on me, due to the bottom heavy boobs as previously discussed).

The band is really quite stretchy and for me, as a size 16-20 wearing a 34HH, I find bras tend to be quite tight on my ribs and after years of wearing a 38E (thinking I needed a 40F) I’m still not used to wearing such tight bras (I think it’s been about 18 months since the I discovered the Boob or Bust measuring technique). This bra is just as supportive, but much MUCH more comfortable. The stretch lace edges mean is should suit all bust shapes.

From the “Remix” collection

I love the bow and teardrop shaped hole in the centre, and as I’ve already mentioned, it’s just SUPER comfortable. The top section of the bra is a light stretchy mesh and is sheer. The High Leg Briefs are really comfortable, and a mix of soft satin feel material and soft stretch lace.

Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with this set. Really comfortable and functional, but pretty with lovely details. The fit is fantastic, and I love it!!

And last, but by no means least, the Statement set from “Contradiction by Pour Moi

Statement Underwired Bra, £22.40 (with the code CAT20)

The set is just gorgeous 🖤 I love the layered lace detail, with the mesh detail and the cute metal centre pieces. I really like that you can adjust the sides on thong, it has adjustable straps like mini bra strap adjusters.

It’s perfect under a scoop or v-neck top with the cage detail, and I think it would look great under a sheer or mesh top too.

Here’s the whole Contradiction range link and again, there’s 6 items in the statement (sizes 8-20, 32-42 back sizes and B-J cups).

My August Box was a hit! Two excellent sets of underwear, that are really versatile, pretty and comfortable; and a bikini that’s just perfect.

All the items have been gifted, so this is an ad, but all the opinions are my own and honest!
