One thing no one really talks about is bras, fact. It's crazy how such an unsung fashion hero is rarely discussed especially when a well stocked lingerie drawer is the backbone to any successful wardrobe, yet owning such a drawer is usually just a dream. Finding the perfect fitting bra can be an absolute nightmare (especially when your size is incredibly popular) similar only to tracking down a pair of jeans that make your bum look amazing without costing the earth (the search continues) but I may be able to point you in the right direction when it comes to bras.

 Ann Summers* have teamed up with the beautiful Sam Faiers to create the Sexy Lace collection where styles are pretty and functional without being too in-yer-face-sexy. Sound dreamy? Then get to grip with your new fashion foundations.


The Sexy Lace Padded T-Shirt Bra is my favourite pick of the bunch. With its moulded padding and seam free design it's barely detectable under clothing so it's ideal paired with something fitted like a body-con dress or as the name would suggest, with a t-shirt. This will be a dream on holiday worn with the countless Topshop cami tops I've picked up. Result.


I don't know what came over me choosing this Sexy Lace Balconette Bra in red but boy is it a flattering shade on my pale skin tone. I often find balconette bras a tricky style to work on me but if you love a lifted look that isn't so pushed together, look-at-me then this style is the one you need. In summary it's ideal worn with low, square necklines for a full but natural look.

Easily the most impractical, but arguably the prettiest bra in the collection step forward the Sexy Lace Underwire Bra. Sure no-one is going to be rocking this one for day time but for an evening out under something slightly sheer this pick gives you a boost of confidence without going boob overboard. My kinda bra.


Finally the Sexy Lace Plunge Bra is the lazy girls dream, with it's removable padding it's your go to for day to night wear - ideal if you're going out straight from work. This offering gives you a serious boost whilst allowing you to go for that plunging neckline top or dress should you wish.

 Do you find it a challenge matching your lingerie to your clothes? What do you make of the Sexy Lace collection?
