When it comes to buying a bra, you need to make sure you are purchasing the right size for you. A wrong fitting bra could be uncomfortable and may also cause you problems. When looking for a new bra, it is important to consider the style and design but also the sizing and shape of the item. Any lingerie expert will tell you that getting a bra fitting is vital to your posture, body shape and possibly your health.

A lot of women out there are wearing the wrong bra size, could you be one of those women? Here are just some of the benefits to wearing a well fitted bra.

• Posture – A quality bra that fits well will help you with your posture. Slouching and not sitting up straight can be caused by a bad bra.
• Body Shape – Wearing the right size will help to create a much better shape for your body. A good quality bra will give your chest a lift and help to create a much better body shape.
• Tightness – If you are wearing a bra that is too small, then this could be digging into your chest and shoulders and causing you pain. If you feel your bra is too tight, then you will need to go up a size.
• Too loose – A bra that is too big will not give the right support to your chest. If you find your straps are falling down often or that your band is not fitting well, a smaller bra size may be needed.

There are also many different styles of bras available. Full cup, balconette, minimiser, multiway, plunge, strapless, seam free, under wired and non wired. Each one offers a different style and shape. Choosing one that fits your silhouette well will help with finding one that is the most comfortable for you to wear.

This week I'll be looking at the return (again) of Bruce Willis in the Die Hard Franchise, this time with A Good Day to Die Hard

From the clips and interviews I've seen, it looks like mega action-fest of gargantuan proportions, so well worth an look and I'll deliver a full report on SR in the next few days.  Apart from that, I'll be working on more increasingly diverse reviews on style-review.com over the next days and weeks, so be sure to keep checking by!

New York Fashion Week has displayed a huge range of the shade of green. It seems more and more designers are getting that earthy feeling and making fashion come to life by using the colours of nature. But, the colour green that these designers are using isn’t just a random colour choice; it is also a fashion statement that reflects a deeper trend within the industry.

More and more, the fashion world has started to incorporate ethical concerns into their brand identity, making eco-chic a mainstream and readily available consumer product. Perhaps the most important reason for green's growth throughout the fashion scene is a deliberate shift toward presenting sustainable fashion as not separate and unique, but simply fashion at its best. Women’s Country Clothing and men’s country clothing alike have taken the world by storm.  

There are many reasons for the eco friendly change happening in fashion recently which have been displayed at Fashion Week itself.

Designer Stella McCartney and prominent influencers such as Livia Firth and Vogue have long promoted the integration of sustainability into luxury style. American Apparel and Footwear Association Maverick Award-winning designer Yeohlee Teng have made local, zero-waste production an invisible but omnipresent part of her signature style, from using manufacturers in New York's Garment District to reusing pins from her studio floor. The same goes for Diane von Furstenburg and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, who have helped mainstream green design through the CFDA/Lexus Eco-Fashion Challenge. One of the designers to win the inaugural award, Maria Cornejo, quietly uses environmentally friendly materials in her signature line, which has been worn by First Lady Michelle Obama -- without a single mention of kale.
