Introducing the Bra Whisperer!!

Hello Mamas,

About two weeks ago Kate and I were invited to an Open House at a store in Dartmouth Massachusetts called Fabulous Foundations By Nancy. When we arrived we were very impressed with the store's decor. It had beautiful built in cabinetry (Custom built by Nancy's Husband! Awwww!!)  that housed bra's galore, matching undies and even some swimwear. In the center of the store was a beautiful chandelier, lots of comfortable places to sit and ample fitting rooms. 

We introduced ourselves to Nancy and immediately sensed she had found her passion in life. Nancy had a 13 year old niece who was very large busted with no option. After researching places she relized there was nothing in this area for women with this problem. She decided to open a store that sized bra's 28 up to an N cup.

The Bra Whisperer of the south coast was born! She had a women leave crying for joy one day because she had found in Nancy's store a 48 H Bra and matching panties!!! She discovered Beautiful Bra's from European Companies. Nancy explained to us that "European women are different than American women when it comes to undergarments." "Lingerie is very important to them, they believe in the fit. Unlike American women who will think nothing about spending $400 on a dress and then running through Walmart and grabbing a bra that doesn't fit right." 

Okay, by this point I couldn't wait to see what size I actually was and what it felt like to wear a Bra that fit right. So I took to the fitting rooms with one of Nancy's very knowledgeable sales associate. She measured me and brought me a few options. She showed me how to properly fill myself into a bra... lots of grabbing and pulling up!! hahaha!! But it works they were in the right place again!! Holla!!! When I had on my old Bra and I lifted my arms up I almost fell out of the bottom and when I sat down the underwire was hitting me almost around my waist! hahahaha!! Okay..... Are you ready......I went from a 36 C to a 34 E! HA! She explained that the band is 90% of the fit. 

Fabulous Foundations By Nancy carries Bra's by Le Mystere, Fantasie to name a few. She also carries Swimwear that fits teens and women with tiny backs and full busts as well as big backs and big busts. Bra's with air and gel, bridal bra's and nursing bra's. 

We really enjoyed our time with Nancy and her staff and so will you. We give her the Haute Mama seal of approval!!!

                                                                         Nancy's Motto......

                   The right bra puts you in the right place again!!

Sandra dishes on Londons Fashion Night Out

I about died when I sat down this am, and read our friend, Sandra's, of Sandra's Closet, post about Londons Fashion Night out.  Duh-ied (as in two syllables).  Beautiful people.  Clothes..clothes! Designers (Stellaaaaa). Celebrities (Gwyneth really does look that good in real life sans makeup doesn't she?!). It was all there in London last night, along with the haute Sandra.  Well done, and like all her posts a must read.

Eat(ing), Love(ing) , Pray(ing)

Very excited to be seeing Javier Bardem Eat, Love, Pray tonight! Thought the book was pretty good through Italy and India but lost me once she hit Indonesia.. Recaptured me with the words "Javier Bardem" though.  On that note..

EAT(ing)..Skinny Italian.  Who doesn't love Real Housewives of New Jersey (and if you don't you're such a liar closet watcher)? However, do real housewives cook? They do in Jersey baby.  And this housewife cooks exactly the way I like-fresh, simple, and minimal ingredients.  Clearly with 4 gorgeous children underfoot the gal's not spending all her time in the kitchen if you catch my drift.. Teresa is funny and strikingly honest, in a good way. There are as many stories as there are recipes, which I enjoy, being a not so fond of the kitchen type gal.  The recipes deserve applause though..Zucchini "spaghetti" Salad, Sexy Swordfish with capers and lemon and Balsamic Garlic Bites. Should she cook like this for her castmates I will be submitting an application for the replacement Housewife.  I know she's been in the press a lot lately for whatever financial reasons, but I give her a lot of credit for holding her head high, and keeping the skinny in skinny jeans. Mangia Teresa!

LOVE(ing).. Sandras Closet.  I'd like to say I discovered Sandra, but she found me! And like Dolce+Gabbana, a match made in heaven.  The only thing wrong with her blog is that I can't have every single item she highlights. Aside from that, impeccably put together and you will be hooked from the first visit!  Sandra shares her insights and personal styling ideas she's cultivated through her years in the fashion industry as a stylist and fashion editor for marie claire magazine.  

This is a story on style. Don`t take it too seriously!  Be your own muse. Style is personal, be confident and try things out. I would love to inspire you and make dressing fun.  You might find some of the key items before they will appear in the fashion magazines and hit the stores. On the other side you will get an insight into Sandra`s Closet, get some of my personal styling ideas with vintage and new pieces, meet  new designers.  

For more of the impossibly gorgeous Sandra visit her page on Facebook as well.  Thanks Sandra for sharing your lovely blog. 

and finally..

pray(ing) for summer to never, ever end (You thought I was going to say Javier Bardem didn't you?? Well..Ok..him too).  I think we had the worlds best weather yesterday and I spent it with the world's best family.  MINE.  Make it a wonderful weekend and if you get out to see Eat, Love, Pray, by all means, let's dish on Facebook.

xo, Kate
