      Dear Charde, We're Here For You

      Dear Charde, We're Here For You

      Good news for Charde Heremaia of New Zealand… Enell is one bra company that has sorted out its shi*t. We don’t make “ugly bras” for “big titty girls.” No ma’am! We make beautiful bras that support big titty girls and accentuate the big, awesome lives they’re living. In case you haven’t heard, we’re kinda a big deal.

      Charde's rant and call to bra manufacturers is going viral: 

       

      Can anyone blame Charde for her recent bra aisle rant? Not a chance. We’ve all been there. Oh how we have all painfully, sadly, frustratingly been there! The struggle is so real and we applaud her for fighting the good fight.

      As a size FF… and really anyone over a C or D cup can relate to … Charde has “had it up to f*ing here” with the entire bra experience. “I’m really done with the black, cream, and white bras. Okay? I want some pretty ones that don’t cost hundreds and thousands of dollars.”

      We hear her loud and clear, and the millions of women just like her. Because we are her! We’ve lived that life ourselves, and that’s why we’ve got brilliant shades like biscay green and dazzling blue in sizes up to GG. Look, we’ve got the basic colors covered, too, because sometimes life just demands an ecru bra.

      BUT, our exciting limited edition colors just make the world a prettier place for the biggest, baddest, boldest breasts around. Including yours. And yes, even Charde’s.

      Introducing ENELL SPORT in Limited Edition Biscay Green

      Introducing ENELL SPORT in Limited Edition Biscay Green

      We are so excited to unveil our latest Limited Edition color for ENELL SPORT: Biscay Green!

      This vibrant green is the perfect way to welcome spring (and can we say St. Patrick's Day races???) As with all ENELL Limited Edition colors, once the sizes are sold out, they will not be replenished. 

      Purchase your Dazzling Blue before they’re gone online here or at any of the retailers listed below.

      Know Your Types of Cleavage

      Know Your Types of Cleavage

      How well do you know your cleavage? Those lovely lady lumps come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Much like the bras, dresses, and tees we adorn them with, there’s a cleavage for every style. Maybe your cleavage has one speed and you’ve grown very familiar with it. Maybe you accessorize with cleavage -- this type for one event like you would heels for a particular date. Or perhaps you haven’t given it much attention at all.

      Much like the many nicknames for our breasts that everyone has… get to know a little more about what happens when they get propped up!

      Classic

      You might see this under a blouse or in a nice sleeveless top. It’s your basic, run-of-the-mill, classic cleavage. A little glimpse of the breasts that’s not too much, not too little. It’s expected, if anything.

      Push-Up Cleavage

      You know these girls! The cleavage achieved with a padded bra can better fill out a top or maybe it gives a touch of sex appeal. It gives the illusion of more. But more than what onlookers may see, it often gives the woman more confidence.

      Extreme Cleavage

      Nothing is left to the imagination here! Achieved through a push-up bra, super low-cut tops or dresses, or a bra size meant for an Enell, this cleavage has a lot to offer and isn’t mad about it.

      Situational Cleavage

      Maybe you meant it, maybe you didn’t. Either way, you flashed a little cleave by folding arms just so, or lying to one side during a movie date at home. The situational cleavage happens when you lean a certain way or give a little shrug.

      Floating Cleavage

      This stuff is like magic and you might not even know how it happened! We see this all the time in red carpet dresses… the breasts are just there. Perfectly centered, separated, and standing at attention in a way that defies the laws of science. I mean, how do they not jiggle at all?

      Underboob

      Instead of the usual top-view cleavage, you’ve got a little that slips out the bottom. Usually achieved by going braless, wearing a bikini, or rocking a crop top, this opposite cleavage can still make you feel sexy.

      Sideboob

      Side glance of the breast with a side of attitude is what this cleavage is serving up. You usually rock this when wearing your guy’s tees with large armholes or oversized tanks with or without a bra.

      Ashley Graham Makes a Big Deal of the Swimsuit Issue

      Ashley Graham Makes a Big Deal of the Swimsuit Issue

      There’s a super hot lady gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated 2016 Swimsuit Issue. She’s wearing a barely there bikini. Her breasts are voluptuous. Her tan glistens. She’s drenched from splashing in the waves. She also happens to be listed as one of this year’s 30 Under 30 by Forbes and has created her very own lingerie line.

      Oh… and did we mention... she’s a size 16?

      That makes her the first plus-size model to ever be featured on the cover of this coveted magazine spread.

      Ashley Graham (a major ENELL fan!) just made a major splash for modeling, for women, and for the body positive movement. She has said “There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.” We can’t think of a more conspicuous place to not to hide and a better platform from which to flaunt what you’ve got!

      This makes the sixth magazine cover for the 28-year-old model, designer, and body activist in the past year, and there’s no doubt her face (and body) is about to become even more familiar. She is proud to “use” her “hot body” to let other women know that they are beautiful; a body that is representative of half of American women who wear a size 14 or greater. 

      Ashley Graham in the ENELL Sport in Black

      Her Swimsuit cover wasn’t photoshopped or retouched in any way, a point she’s adamant about. And it’s just one more example of how she’s representing and connecting with American women. She hopes they feel empowered by her cover, something she never expected SI to do.

      “I didn’t think that Sports Illustrated was going to take that risk. They are setting the standard for what everybody else -- magazines, designers, people in Hollywood -- should be doing,” Ashley told PEOPLE.

      Her next move is to continue breaking barriers… which we would expect to see her doing in an ENELL. Ashley has said that you can be healthy at any size as long as you’re off the couch and moving your body; which she enjoys doing through kickboxing and traveling with resistance bands. She has professed that ENELL sports bras are her fave, calling it her “absolute favorite workout bra ever. It's every woman's dream that has big boobs."

      Loving herself is how Ashley was able to find success. That kind of unconditional self-love just landed her one of the biggest gigs in the industry!

      Resolution Reads to Start Your New Year Strong

      Resolution Reads to Start Your New Year Strong

      For every place we are in life, there’s a quotable source serving inspiration and motivation. Sage advice from centuries-old elders somehow resonates in our modern times. And we can pluck simple insight from any interview or speech to help us regain focus, composure, and purpose. As the new year becomes a prime time for each of us to look inward, we’re no doubt looking for those daily quotes to help us find our center, justify our thoughts and feelings, and give us that supportive nudge to move forward with our goals or resolutions.

      Resolve to read (at least one) new book this new year to take those quotes in the context in which they were delivered, and find some new sources of inspiration to meet whichever goals you have plotted for yourself in the year ahead.

      BIG MAGIC by Elizabeth Gilbert

      She gave women the freedom to own their feelings and direction in life in Eat, Pray, Love, and now her bestseller is granting permission to own your creativity.

      “If you’re alive, you’re a creative person.” -- Elizabeth Gilbert

      THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC TIDYING UP by Marie Kondo

      It’s been at the top of the bestseller list for 52 weeks… so you’ve likely heard of the KonMari method by now; a Japanese-influenced approach to decluttering and unjunking your life to live more simply with the essentials.

      “No matter how wonderful things used to be, we cannot live in the past. The joy and excitement we feel here and now are more important.” -- Marie Kondo

      YEAR OF YES by Shonda Rhimes

      Who knew the most powerful woman in Hollywood was a severe introvert? A challenge from her sister inspired her to spend a year saying yes to everything that scared her. See how that year, and the one that follows, changed her life to be healthier and more empowered.

      “Everyone’s got some greatness in them. You do. The girl over there does. That guy on the left has some. But in order to really mine it, you have to own it. You have to grab hold of it. You have to believe it.” -- Shonda Rhimes

      BRAVE ENOUGH by Cheryl Strayed

      If poignant quotes are a cornerstone to your own self-improvement, then this pint-sized collection of poignant thoughts by the Wild author is the read for you. It’s being called a "mini instruction manual for the soul."

      “Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.” -- Cheryl Strayed

      GIFTS OF IMPERFECTION by Brene Brown

      It’s not a new title, but it’s holding steady on the bestseller list. Brene’s empowering voice shines in this guidebook for “wholehearted” living, with ten guideposts for moving past perfection and into authenticity to your true self.

      “Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites.” -- Brene Brown
