Cosy Nights In For Autumn

Autumn is now upon us and it's that time of year where the air is crisp outside and the chill just nips at you. One of my favourite things to do during this season is to cuddle up on the sofa in my comfortable pyjamas and some slippers while sipping on a warm hot chocolate and watching a great movie.

The movie that I watch is always dependant on my mood at the time, whether or not I want something romantic, something funny or something a little more serious or even old fashioned, but one thing that does always remain the same is the fact that I adore comfort! I was browsing through the collections here at Bras and Honey and saw some ladies slipper boots in an amazing jewel tone burgundy which is absolutely perfect for the Autumn season!

Burgundy is a shade that is often popular this time of year and I myself own so many pieces in the deep red tone! If you prefer to have some slippers with a more classic vibe to them, I also spotted these fluffy lined beige slipper boots which would be much more subtle, yet still as warm!

I usually pair my slippers with leggings and an oversized jumper/sweater, to really have that comfortable lazy day in style vibe, but I think these grey lounge pants would work just as well is you prefer something a little looser. How do you spend your Autumn nights in?

The Most Popular Bra Size 32F

We were curious to see what is the most popular bra size currently this year, there have been previous surveys of course but things change quickly and we wanted to look at what our customers are buying and what bra size they tend to be. Average bra sizes are getting bigger through the years, for example; in the UK it used to be 36D, and 34B a decade ago.

And so we have conducted our own in-depth survey of Bra Back and Bra Cup Sizes which is based on sales through the Bras and Honey website for the first half of 2013 (January to June), the customers were located from all around the world but primarily the UK and the USA. Over this six month period there were nearly 1,700 bras sold across 80 different bra sizes ranging from 28D to 46F. Of course we supply smaller and larger bra sizes, but during the survey period they were all between 28D and 46F.

The Top 5 Bra Sizes

We found that the most popular bra size was the 32F with 4.98% of the total sales, followed by 34F at 4.38%, 34E at 4.02%, 36F at 3.96% and 32FF at 3.84% of the total, with the remaining 75 sizes that were included in this survey being less popular. There were some peaks and a few anomolies in this survey, an example is the 36F which was very popular, the other cup sizes in the 36 back category were considerably less popular.
