Confidence is something all of us have at certain degrees. Some have little, some have a lot, but one thing I'm certain of is we all have it. The one way that I love to express my confidence is lingerie. I wear it for myself, and of course share with my partner (and the world on social media.) There's just something about a good piece of lingerie that shows off your body that's empowering, sexy and fierce.

Star In A Bra

Sooo you could say this post does exactly what it says in the title (or the tin, you get the jist). 

This is your chance to become a star in a bra for those uber babes at Curvy Kate.

So you may or may not know about Curvy Kate. (hopefully the latter, see my post here on how great they are,) and if you haven't well this creative and lovely lot design AMAZING lingerie and  swimwear that looks amazing on a wide range of figures and sizes.

And of course who wouldn't want models who represent all shapes and sizes of women. 

The brand quotes:

'With the public outcry for the use of more realistic images in the media, the Star in a Bra competition champions the use of customer role models and promotes a positive approach to body image, which all women can relate to. Known for their use of non-professional models, the brand show their fans exactly how their lingerie will look and fit on a variety of body shapes, cementing the message there isn’t one type of ‘perfect body’. All sizes, ages, frames and heights are encouraged to enter as the brand continues to celebrate the beauty of all women.' 

and I for one couldn't agree more.

All of the models you see in their brochures are discovered through their annual Star in a Bra competition and they’re chosen by YOU the public. After entries close, the voting is put in the hands of us curvy kate fanatics which decides who you think should be the face and body of the brand.

So this is your chance ladies, Get your kit off and bare all, and who knows you could win. The lucky winner will join the brand’s curvy line up at their summer shoot, enjoy an all-expense paid trip to the Mediterranean for two with £1000 spending money and also be awarded a year-long modelling contract with Bridge Models Limited.

The entry stage launched January 5th on Starinabra.com . Department store giants Debenhams,  Beales and Evans are backing the curve-search by hosting a two week roadshow around the UK. Participating stores including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Bournemouth and Gateshead, will hold in-store events with live models, a themed photo pod and bra fittings (roadshow dates are below.) Hopefully I'll get to see some of you at the London event on the 12th Feb.

The Curvy Kate team will also be joined by Cosmopolitan ‘Catwalk to Curvy’ columnist Laura Puddy, Bridge  Models and the body-loving Self Esteem Team, who will help choose a top 25 before the competition is decided by a public vote.

Curvy Kate: The Daily boost & Strapless Luxe Bras

So you may have read in my previous post about my time at the Curvy Kate event. I was gifted the daily boost bra at the event (also had a fitting too) and as soon as I put it on I felt like I had new boobs (that I couldn't stop touching all night btw ;).) They instantly lifted and afterwards I had comments not only on how pert my boobs were but also how it'd looked like I had lost weight (my waist is small so this bra just helped define it more.) I also had the chance to purchase the new Strapless Luxe bra and some smoothie high rise knickers. All sorted on the lingerie front and so impressed with the fit and look of all the bits, I just had to strip down and blog, to spread the curvy kate word. 

First of all: The Daily Boost (paired with Smoothie high rise knickers.)

  

Cute little bow detailing. I also love the grey contrast around the edge.

Second of all: The Strapless Luxe Bra 

Excuse the grumpy looking face, I'm sure I was going for dominatrix/sex face ha!?

My boobs are supported and still pert. I've struggled for years for a strapless bra for a big cup, that'll actually support and this is doing the job. I even jumped up and down and they stayed in the cup and supported.

A little hard to see, but the button detailing in the middle of the cups is uber cute.

Thick back band. It's so secure and comfy.

The band is tight and I had to pull it around BUT when on it doesn't feel restricting. I can breath, dance, bend up and down. Let's say I can complete the essential tasks haha. This is definitely the right size for me, I just think as it's strapless the band needs to give support, so it has to have a tighter elastic in than usual so don't be put off if you try this!
