Bra Bling–Top 6 stocking Stuffers

We are seeing bling on everything fashionable this season, why not your bra as well?

Quick, tell the Santa in your life that these little treasures are great in a stocking. Gorgeous Crystals and Rhinestones catch the light and glimmer even in candlelight or the glow from a Christmas tree.
I think it is fashionably fun to have a hidden sparkle that shows only during movement. Maybe you will surprise your Santa with a hidden bling.

Have a look at my top 6 bling choices.

#1 – Crystal Bows                          #2 – Crystal Hearts 
These clip on crystal decorations for your bra straps are my first and second choice because they are so unique. They can be clipped on at any spot. How fun if you have a Christmas outfit that may show the bra strap.

Packaged in a black faux suede gift pouch.

Fantastic crystal bra straps that replace your every day bra straps. in order to use these you need to have a bra that has removable straps. These are generally called convertible bras.
These decorative straps are quite thin for a plus size woman. There is not a lot of support.
These straps would be best for a special event type usage.

If you want to do a bit of hand sewing and have a black bra strap they can be tacked on top and look great.

Each set is packaged in a jewellery style box and has a gift pouch for protection when being stored.

#5 – Red Bra Strap with Crystal Heart

Fun and inexpensive bra straps with crystal decorations. Just a little flash of bling to dress up the Christmas Holidays.

These are used in the same way as the crystal straps above. These, however, have a bit more support.

Bikini Barista



After a full day of shopping during the Christmas rush, with my Mom, we stopped for a coffee at a drive through espresso stand. This is where we happened upon Mandy, the bikini barista for Foxy Lady Espresso Hut. I got such a chuckle from this charming surprise.

Washington State has the best drive through coffee stands and they are everywhere. You can’t go wrong.

Being Moms our concern for Mandy was - aren’t you cold? She guaranteed us that the heat was cranked and she was very comfortable.

Mandy found her cute little Santa mini skirt and hat at Victoria secret. She made us a great Mexican Mocha Latte for the long, cold Christmas commute home.

Thanks Mandy for the Christmas fun.

Lessons from Christmas Shopping Men


Christmas Eve is 3 days away and most men are starting their shopping. I know this because I was among them yesterday doing my Christmas Shopping. I was considering a beautiful item as a gift and chose to wait and contemplate the purchase then come back if I could not find anything more stunning. I find it interesting to consider the difference in style as to how men and women operate.

As I was walking out of this large store a gentleman and his young teen daughter brushed past me. I could not help over hearing his comments to his daughter.

“If you want something for Mom get it now. This is the first store I have been in for Christmas and it is the last. Today is it.”

This comment struck me like a thunderbolt. As women we spend so much time making everything perfect. We deliberate over the best gift to give everyone. We spend hours decorating, planning, cooking, shopping, wrapping and creating the festive atmosphere.

All that in addition to work, kids, pets and running the house - No wonder the holidays are exhausting!

Both genders could take some hints from each other. Perhaps some men could put in additional effort and as women we could reduce our effort - slightly. Was it really necessary for me to think about my purchase and go back to buy it? Because you know I did go back. So that was 2 trips for 1 gift. Not time efficient!

Women truly create the holidays but how much can we do?

I hope the shopping gentleman’s wife enjoys her “get it now”, one day, one store gift. I really have to rethink my shopping style next year.
