your bra measurements

There’s a right way to measure your bra’s cup and band size if you cannot get to a professional shop. In 3 easy steps: Band size: the tape should be level and very snug.

Their products run the gamut from underwear to lounge/sleepwear to postpartum items to swimwear.

I cried when I saw The James – and clicked to find it was gone! Monrowe NYC is a black-owned headwear company that makes The James and when I happened upon it in midnight blue I knew I had to have it….but no haps because it was ‘out of stock’. I kept searching the site and found a great runner-up in the Johnny – and this one comes in winter white, so just-in-time for fall to rock with all of my sweaters
