LAST WEEK WAS OUR AW16 PHOTOSHOOT...
Delve into what happens behind the scenes...
Hi there, it's Emily here, founded of Bluebella. I want to share with you what's been going on lately at Bluebella HQ!
Last week was Bluebella's AW16 photoshoot and having designed what we feel is our most gorgeously amazing collection to date - we wanted to get even more ambitious in how we created imagery to accompany it.
Last week was Bluebella's AW16 photoshoot and having designed what we feel is our most gorgeously amazing collection to date - we wanted to get even more ambitious in how we created imagery to accompany it.
A brainstorm by the Bluebella team determined that we wanted to create imagery that embodied two things. Firstly - the organic inspiration behind the collection: watch out for beautiful new prints, unusual trims and geometric new fabrics that mirror the beauty of nature whilst reflecting the modernity at the heart of Bluebella. Secondly, we wanted to capture the directional, strong and cosmopolitan heart of Bluebella that is deeply rooted in the city we all love the very best - London.
Sadly for our brave model, the idea that hatched from our creative little minds was to set our imagery on the windswept and wintery banks of the Thames. We loved the idea of an urban beach with a cityscape in the background, of bare trees creating organic shapes that reflect the collection with a touch of winter sun creating beautifully crisp silhouettes.

Amazingly, the British weather held up and we were blessed with a cold but sunny day which we maximised with a super early start. Our vision was brought to life by the fabulous all-female team who we adore working with. Having now worked together on so many shoots we - as usual - worked calmly and harmoniously together with lots of laughs in between. And with nice hot cups of tea and coffee on tap!
Alisa our photographer, furry hood firmly up, captured stunning moments and turned the wintery light into the most beautiful scenes. And our model, the extraordinarily professional and lovely Eva kept smiling right until the last shot despite the freezing temperatures, whilst the dynamic duo of Nikki and Lara somehow managed to keep hair and make-up in check despite the unforgiving winds.

Our only disappointment? That you'll have to wait until next season to see the results! But fear not, the equally stunning Spring/Summer '16 shoot imagery will be unveiled in all its glory very soon indeed...

Looking back on the final edit in the office, I feel immensely proud of the Bluebella team for bringing such a creative and inspiring collection to life! We celebrated with gin & tonics and bubbly at our Christmas party the other night!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas... Until next time,

Now if you have chosen your Bluebella treat, don't get hot and bothered
with the sizing! It's easy if you follow our tips. Some of our styles
are measured in the standard 32B, 34B way so if you pick a bra that is
sized this way, the easiest thing to do is have a peek in her lingerie
drawer. Check out her newest additions and see what size they are -
voila, there is your answer! If you know her dress measurements but
still not sure what size to get, check out our sizing guide 
It's no secret - our hair takes a beating during the winter months. With the harsh winds and cold temperatures, hair can often frizz and become dry, damaged and lack-lustre - not a good combo. To help keep hair hydrated, the Kerastase Masque Nutri-Thermique is our top pick. This hydrating hair mask is activated by heat providing your hair with the deepest form of nourishment to lock in moisture for those blustery days. What's more, make sure you treat yourself to a salon session every so often as freshly cut locks can help with keeping your hair luscious and ready for the party season.
Everyone needs a moisturising lip balm, especially when it's chilly outside. There is nothing worse than cracked and painful lips, plus it makes it all the more harder to apply lipstick evenly. So, how do we beat dry lips? We suggest the Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturising Lip Balm - it's guaranteed to help you with those pesky puckers. Another tip is to gently exfoliate dry lips regularly so that you are keeping them as fresh as possible. Another great tip is when it comes to make-up time, at the beginning of application always use a lip balm so lips can soak up the moisturising goodness before you put lipstick anywhere near them. By the time you come around to the lips, they will be perfectly positioned for lipstick application!
There is no fighting it; dry hands are just another winter side effect. Make sure you moisturise your hands day and night, just as you do with your face (that's a great anti-ageing tip too!). Our favourite is the one and only L'Occitane Shea Butter Cream for Dry Skin. Currently sold around the world every three seconds, it is clearly a big hit. Treat yourself to a manicure too and you'll have hands you won't want to cover up with gloves!
The big trend in beauty at the moment is oil, used as a super hydrator for lack-lustre skin. With a luxurious feel, using an oil can make you feel like you're in your own beauty salon and is a relaxing addition to any beauty routine. We like Caudalie Divine Oil as it has a rich combination of moisturising oils, leaving your skin silky smooth. The tip is to use oils sparingly before you moisturise and this helps lock in the moisturiser when you apply. Oils are also multi-functional and are great for nails, hair and the body as well as the face. We love an all-round hit!
