Has anybody noticed the evenings getting a little bit lighter? We certainly have! Spring is most definitely on it’s way. Along with warmer temperatures, a new season brings fabulous, new figleaves.com photography. Here’s a snippet of our gorgeous Spring Summer 12 campaign shot in South Africa back in November.
Since I last wrote I have had my 16 week midwife appointment...it was fairly routine. I did get to listen to the heartbeat though which was strange but also amazing and the midwife showed Zach how to feel where the baby is! My bump is also starting to come along now.
Other than that I’ve not been up to much, well I say that...I’ve been either out for dinner or over friends for dinner five times in the last two weeks and I’ve had my hair done... finally! On a bit of a healthy eating mission at the moment I seem to have been getting away with eating whatever I like because ‘I’m Pregnant’ but as Baby Upton also absorbs what I eat it’s probably best to eat well! Also, I bought a maternity swimsuit (from figleaves of course), I will be starting swimming soon to get a bit of exercise, I used to play netball but have had to knock that on the head now. Hopefully going to start antenatal yoga soon too, that should be interesting!
Speak soon,

Who says Valentine’s Day is all for the ladies? Let’s not forget about the lovely boyfriends or husbands who have been good all year - we think they definitely deserve a little treat too. Do you need a little inspiration for a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for him? Well, let’s get creative...
- Movie night – film on the TV, naughty snacks and perhaps a sneaky bottle of beer
- A two hour uninterrupted (no nagging) gaming session – anyone for Call of Duty?
- A three course, home-made, slap-up meal – his favourite of course
As an extra little treat, choose a fresh new pair of ‘cheeky’ underpants (or a sexy set for you of course!)
Don’t forget – you can order a Valentine’s Day gift for him anytime before 3pm Monday 13th February with our UK Express Delivery option.

Hello, my name is Keeley and for the past 3 and a half years have been working in the Customer Service team at figleaves.com. I was officially 15 weeks pregnant last Sunday!
It seems so strange that in 5 weeks I’ll be half way through... the time has gone so quickly already! My 12 week scan was a couple of weeks ago now but all was fine and baby Upton is growing as normal so that was a relief. You can’t help but worry about these things.
This Sunday I popped to Ikea with the parents and got a few bit to decorate the nursery. I’ve decided to go with a Hungry Caterpillar theme. Hubby and I wanted something gender neutral as we won’t be finding out the sex...I managed to get a lovely sunshine ceiling light and a giant leaf bed canopy to hang over the cot. People have also started buying us gifts already (which I can’t complain about!) and as I’ve told friends about my nursery theme I’ve had Hungry Caterpillar gifts.
Linda who I work with here in Customer Service is a fab knitter and with no pattern has knitted me this! A baby ‘snuggle sack’ with a hat...Love it!
Over the next 6 months I will be sharing my journey with you. Please get in touch if you are expecting too, I would love to hear your news.
Speak soon,

A straw poll in the figleaves office reveals most of the girls would love a Valentines Day gift from their fellas on February 14th, but also that their man might need a little inspiration for getting it right. That's where we come in!
Lingerie is a classic Valentines Day gift, but it can seem little daunting. Our Valentines Day Shop narrows down our lingerie collection to help him find the perfect sexy gift.
Our Lingerie Top Tips:
Firstly have a think about what she likes to wear; is she the out-there-sexy type or does she prefer a pretty everyday set? Next head to her underwear drawer, look in the labels of her much loved bras to find her bra size – thats a number followed by a letter, for example 34D. For the finishing touches add some super sexy stockings - it is a special occasion after all ;)
It’s the thought that counts, so there is no need to break the bank. Perhaps a sweet card sent to her office or a cute Valentines cupcake awaiting her return from work – get a little creative, she will love it!
It’s the New Year and although it’s still wintery and cold outside, our attention here at HQ has turned to the gorgeous new collections that will be heading your way this spring.
This season it’s all about colour so be sure to update your lingerie collection with pretty pastels and bright colour popping shades! Our buying team has been hard at work to ensure that no matter what your budget you will be able to stay on-trend and looking fabulous this spring.
Here are a few of our favourites so far:
Styled in a stunning tropical blue, Chantelle’s Icone Balconette Bra is simply irresistible. Ideal for injecting some colour into your lingerie collection, the Passion Plunge Bra from Gossard is bright and sexy. A perfect choice for spring, Lepel’s Flora Padded Balconette Bra is bright and floral.
We hope you love the new collections as much as we do, keep a look out for more summer styles – we’ve got more arriving on site everyday.

Hands up if your New Year resolution involves a sports bra, running trainers and perhaps a gym membership. There is nothing like a New Year to start a new exercise routine, whatever activity you choose; from running to swimming, yoga or walking.
It’s always good to feel great whilst your working out. Davina McCall knows what we are talking about, she looks amazing in her new workout DVD with her figleaves active crop top and Go the Distance Legging (have you spotted the ad yet?). No more excuses - our activewear collection is currently 15% off!
Go and get active.
Happy New Year.

Last Thursday we hosted a very fancy lunch with the gorgeous Jenni Falconer in London’s Soho for a few selected bloggers and media representatives. The event was to celebrate the launch of our Christmas Tube Campaign and our partnership with the SaveMe4Later app!
As of yesterday, our Christmas ad is on full view for all to see on the London Underground – we have no doubt it will brighten up the daily commute!
For those of you who haven’t heard of SaveMe4Later – watch this space! This app allows you to type in 'figleaves’ and the station where you saw us. When you have phone signal, you will be able to view the full advert and also receive an exclusive discount to spend at figleaves.com – what could be simpler?!
Once all the ‘techno’ talk was over we got down to a delicious three course lunch and chatted all things lingerie and babies with Jenni (the new mum looks fab and confirmed that no woman can be without her Spanx – she even gave us a sneak peek!). With wonderful conversations (and champagne!) flowing, we walked away feeling we had really touched and connected with the people that so often write about figleaves.com.
We're all very excited about the launch and can’t wait for you to see it - keep those eyes peeled and apps at the ready, we are sure you won’t miss us!
We’d love to see your pictures if you see us on the tube, send them via our facebook page!
