Our Review
Well, after trying the Winkie and now the Chickies, I have come to the conclusion that I must prefer to show even less cleavage than the average woman! (I probably should blush right about here!?! ) I think I was expecting them to do something that they were not made for because even with my lowest cut dress, I seem to still show more than I want to show, if you know what I mean. However, for those simply desiring extra coverage like the model in the blazer above, it works great.
My daughter could not try this product with me since Chickies isn’t a one size fits all product. It does come in sizes and since there is a considerable difference in bra size between my daughter and I, she could not test it, unfortunately. I appreciate her input as a “younger” lady.
Chickies is very comfortable and amazingly stays in place- right over your bra! I really, really love the concept and the need this product fills for those of us desiring to cover up a bit more up on top.

What is a Winkee?
What is a Winkee you might be asking? The packaging of this product says a Winkee is:
~ An attractive, lightweight bra accessory, that solves the problem of plunging necklines.
~ Easily attached to your bra in 3 snaps.
~ An affordable way to maximize your outfit, without compromising its design.
~ A whisper of coverage, or a punch of color.
~ A perfect traveling companion – so compact it fits in your purse!
~ Your Bosom’s Buddy.
ABC video feature of beauty products that fit into a “lady-like” handbag, including the Winkee (at about the 4 minute mark):
The Winkee really is the fashion solution some of us shouldn’t live without, especially those of us concerned about how much cleavage we are displaying. My older daughter and I both tried out the Winkee. We have the white one like the black one featured in the picture below. It really is lightweight and comfortable. I barely noticed I was wearing it. It is incredibly soft being made from 95% rayon and 5% spandex. The great thing about the Winkee is that you don’t need to order a different sizes, the single solitary design of one Winkee fits women of different sizes. Take my daughter and I as an example. My daughter is a developing teen with a smaller cup size and I am a grown woman who has had multiple pregnancies and am currently pregnant, but we were both able to wear the same Winkee.
My daughter found the Winkee comfortable as well, but what she noticed was that if she did not situate the Winkee high enough on her bra then it wouldn’t necessarily give her the coverage she desired. Nor did it give her much coverage if she bent over.
The Winkee is easy to put on as there are no snaps, hooks, Velcro or buttons. The Winkee is attached with Winkeedots, which are little clear sticky dots. I used the same dots that my daughter did and the Winkee didn’t feel as secure as I would have liked it to, so perhaps I should have used new dots. I was being frugal though because the Winkee only comes with 6-12 dots and I cannot seem to find ours, as everything is in the pretty little pouch except the Winkeedots! Hmm….gotta ask my daughter about that…
Thankfully the Winkee is so small that it can be carried easily in a purse and hand washed very easily as well. It is recommended that it be dried flat.
While I love the concept, I am still not sure that it is the cleavage solution for me.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.
What do you typically think when you think about a wool sweater? Itchy, heavy and hot, right? All normal thoughts because with the wool our grandmothers used, it was – plain and simple. However, with the advent of technology the way wool feels, wears and even washes has changed dramatically – for the better, I might add.
Ramblers Way is using a new technology and it is incredible how lightweight they can make wool now. You wouldn’t even know the clothing was made out of wool because it was so soft, lightweight and warm! With this new technology they are creating a soft, next-to-skin wool apparel. Imagine wearing wool without being itchy, yet being just as warm in a lightweight material as a long sleeve shirt as your grandmother’s old wool sweater? This is the kind of apparel that Ramblers Way has developed – for comfort and warmth – they’ve thought of everything. They even have wool underwear!
About Ramblers Way
Ramblers Way offers an old world concept – attractive wool garments that are made from sheep that are raised right here in the USA – but the company incorporates the most modern technology that is currently available throughout its production process.
The “WINDspun” technology that Ramblers Way garments undergo offers the smoothest, most luxurious wool yarn in the marketplace. The result is an ultra-light line of worsted wool garments warm that both keep you warm but which also breathe naturally, resulting in a year-round product.
Ramblers Way garments are not pre-washed with chlorine in the typical “super-wash” procedure that most companies use, but instead a patented enzyme treatment is used in order to prevent shrinkage and keep the garments fully washable. In addition to being entirely American-made, Ramblers Way garments are all natural, chemical-free, and eco-friendly.

When I did my posts about maternity and nursing dresses, never did I think I would come across an article featuring celebrities wearing some of the styles that I saw, but did not mention in my write-ups! So in an effort to rectify my faux pas I thought I would share the article, plus a few of the black and white floral maternity dresses – especially one that a celebrity mom wore while she was expecting, as she’s since had her baby.
Last week, CelebrityBabyScoop.com featured a little piece about Jennifer Gareis and her classy dress:
Jennifer Gareis walked the carpet at Heidi Klum’s Moms-To-Be night held at A Pea in the Pod in Beverly Hills, Calif. in their strapless sash belt maternity dress. These black and white floral dresses our bold yet feminine.
Here is the dress Jennifer wore:
Then here are a couple others that I found that are different than the ones that Celebrity Baby Scoop shared:
I am not sure how you all keep up with the latest designer fashion around the world, besides fashion articles and fashion blogs, but Designer Ladies appears to be a good website to do just that. They sell ladies shoes, designer ladies clothes, gift ideas and much more.
Here are a few things to give you a taste of what Designer Ladies has to offer for your summer wardrobe:
These suede sandles look really nice and appealed to my eye at least. I couldn’t wear them this summer though since this pregnancy and the sweltering heat cause my feet and ankles to swell.

Thankfully, we are suppose to get warmer weather towards the weekend!
Womens pajamas has a wide variety of pajamas. They carry anything from cute baby doll style nighties or chemise to flannel pajamas.
Gotta love the Mommy and Me pajamas! Are they sweet? And only $31.19!
You can even buy women’s pajamas that are made from organic cotton for those choosing to wear eco friendly apparel. This is a cute cami and crop pant set, but they also have a chemise and short cami set as well. I really like the blue and brown together. These are a bit more pricey at the tune of $76.25.
They even have a selection of organic rompers for babies and pajamas for little ones in an assortment of veggie and fruit prints – cool, eh? Here are a couple of them for the bambinos and children in your house:
