Book Review on Boobs: A Guide To Your Girls

Boobs: A Guide To Your Girls by Elisabeth Dale (formerly Squires) is a gem! No, seriously. It's up there with the jewelry I keep on my nightstand. Why?

Elisabeth, the Mammologist, is an expert, being interviewed throughout the country by The New York Times, television and radio stations and blogs. Her book covers all areas from fitting to bras, health, breast types and more. This book has become a welcome asset personally and professionally.



As I've been refining the best way to accurately measure small busted women, Elisabeth's book revealed a wonderful surprise. In it, she mentions Dr. Pechter's method of bra measuring due to individual breast measurement. I've found this method to be so important that I included it on our free online bra consultation form where we provide detailed information, including bra size, breast shape and bra recommendations based upon bra needs and desires.

Why is the individual breast measurement so important?

Most small busted women's measurements won't come up with a bra size when using the traditional method of bra measuring. Personally, I find Dr. Pechter's band measurements still to be too big, however, his system gets in the general area -- much closer than traditional measuring.

Enough about bra measurements, back to the book review. How much do I love this book? Let me count the ways...

Lingerie Lifestyle ~ Eat Pray Love

The much loved book, Eat Pray Love, written by Elizabeth Gilbert, has inspired women to live their truths, no matter how difficult the journey. An anonymous quote states, "It isn't the end of the journey that matters, it's the journey that matters in the end." In line with this time tested quote, Gilbert's book takes the reader on a visual and sensory experience that proves it is the journey that matters.

Gilbert writes about her break up with her husband, taking on an assignment to write a novel. She plans this trip around Italy, India and Bali, unsure of what will come out of the journey or what she'll write about while traveling. Instead of having a pre-set notion of where the story will go, Gilbert lets the journey take her where she needs to go and grow.

Being a lingerista through and through, my favorite part of the book takes place in Italy when Gilbert buys luxurious, silky Italian lingerie. Even though she's alone and sad with no hope of a romance, she indulges in the lingerie because it inspires her.

(Cosabella and La Perla {lingerie in the image above}, my two favorite Italian lingerie lines, specialize in luxurious lingerie that makes women look and feel their best...as well as incredibly sexy!)

For me, Gilbert buying lingerie, even though she was without romantic prospect, sums up everything that we need to know about lingerie and why we love it. Lingerie changes our moods, outlook on life, transforms us into secret goddesses that we know exist outwardly or inwardly. If nothing more, we buy lingerie for ourselves and how it makes us feel.

People were so inspired by Gilbert's book that Eat Pray Love is now a film being released on August 13, 2010.
