High Summer Style: The Blogger Edit

Style it Like... Nyane Lebajoa

With summer in full swing (despite the typical British weather!), we've teamed up with our ultimate style sister and all-round blogging bombshell Nyane Lebajoa to showcase some of our must-have High Summer pieces. Thought our ranges were for covering up? Think again. This summer, it's ALL about wearing Bluebella how you want to... 

 Flirty Florals

Opt for flirty florals with the Julianna's gorgeous combo set and turn your nightwear into a summer night's dream. 

Playsuit Perfection

Team the Sephy playsuit with this summer's hottest accessories trend, the choker. Nyane's touch of bling gives an edgy addition to the feminine feel of the look. 

Poolside Princess 

Our sumptuous satin Kimonos are the perfect poolside partner and Nyane's simple yet stylish take on wearing as a swimsuit cover-up has got us seriously thinking about our #holidaygoals...

Delicate Dressing

Dare to bare? The sumptuous Julianna chemise is a gorgeous addition to any SS16 wardrobe. Just like Nyane, let your body do the talking in the sheer goodness of a mixture of mesh, lace and floral detailing!

Back To Front 

Bored of the same look? Work it like Nyane and turn the Sephy back-to-front for a completely new, bang-on look that is perfect for a sassy Saturday night out! 

Life's A Bluebella Beach...

Your Holiday Wardrobe Sorted...

Heading off on holiday soon? Be a poolside princess this summer by packing your favourite Bluebella pieces and styling up the ultimate sunshine-ready outfit.

Not sure where to start? We challenged some of our favourite fashion bloggers to show us how they work the holiday look with some of our key High Summer pieces. And if you're feeling inspired, head over to our dedicated Beach Collection page where you can grab all the pieces featured, plus more!  

Super stylish babe Nyane Lebajoa  headed to the White Isle and showed  off her enviable curves in a show-  stopping swimsuit, finishing off her  Ibiza spirit with our satin Kimono. It's  super lightweight and makes for the  perfect pool partner... just throw it on  for effortless elegance!

Got a hotel with a view? Step out into the sunshine with one of our gorgeous chiffons, just like Milan-based Lucia Matton did with the Caitlin cami set. Its beautifully light material falls soft against the skin and is the ultimate choice when you don't want to reveal all in a bikini. 

Straight in from L.A is the beautiful Brianna Lynn who shows off her beach babe look with effortless style, opting for the Caitlin cami set in black. Style tip? Wear your bikini underneath and head straight to the pool so you can dip straight in! 

We love how UK fashion blogger Chloe Plumstead is styling up the pink Kimono as a gorgeous cover up to her bikini. Pink and white work so well together as beautiful holiday hues and look extra gorgeous with a sun-kissed glow! 

Finally, there's no beach blog without the ultimate beach babe, Natalia Miru. Shake it up and wear the Angelina as your bikini... it's sublime shape and show-stopping white will make you centre of attention at the pool, no doubt...

I DO... BUT NOT YET. CHECK OUT OUR WEDDING SEX SURVEY!

MORE THAN HALF OF COUPLES DON'T HAVE SEX ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHT

With the wedding season well under way for the summer, we thought we'd get down to the nitty gritty and really find out what goes on between the sheets on a couple's happiest day of their lives. After a long day, lots of champagne and plenty of emotions, how many couples actually get round to consummating their marriage on the same night? We surveyed 1,000 couples to find out...

 

The biggest stat from our survey was that more than half of couples don't have sex on their wedding night. We found that 52% of couples didn't do the deed largely because they were too tired or too drunk. 

We found that women's and men's reasons varied. Women found themselves not having sex because they were too tired (the most common answer), followed by wanting to wait for the perfect moment, being drunk or already travelling for their Honeymoon. Men, on the other hand, didn't do it largely because they were too drunk or wanted to carry on partying with their friends.  

We found that a third of couples surveyed consummated their marriage the morning after and one in ten didn't get round to doing it until 48 hours after tying the knot. 84% said that the sex, when they did get round to it, lived up to their expectations.

We also quizzed Brides on whether they bought special lingerie for their big day and we're happy to say that 89% of them do! 

Our founder Emily Bendell, who commissioned the survey, said:

"It’s good to see that so many couples are saying 'I don't' to wedding night sex. Couples are under so much pressure these days to have a 'perfect day' that it is refreshing that so many are defying expected norms and doing exactly what they want. If that means, saving the ‘wedding night’ until they can really enjoy it, then why not?

"It is great to see that so many brides are switching lingerie on their wedding day, too. For some brides that means wearing contour lingerie so they look amazing in their wedding dress and then something a little more provocative later... Bridal lingerie has evolved from the traditional to beautifully fashion-inspired collections." 

If you're a Bride-to-be, we have a gorgeous collection of wedding-ready lingerie so that you can do romance the Bluebella way... whenever you choose to do it. Check the range out here.
