SPRING SUMMER '16 STYLING IDEAS

We show you how to style up your lingerie for the SS16 season ahead...

We are now officially in the throws of Spring, hooray! Having patiently waited for what seems like an age, we couldn't be more excited at Spring starting to make its mark with fresh mornings, gorgeous daffodils and the sun still spilling low in the sky when we get home from work. A new season typically brings about a new shift in style and this is even more important for Spring... everything feels so rejuvenated and there is no better time to rejuvenate your style, either.

Changing from Winter's wardrobe to Spring's style couldn't be easier. Here we show your our top tips for a simple shake-up of season-to-season lingerie looks, courtesy of the fabulous styling from our fashion blogging friends!

DENIM

Barcelona-based blogger Laura Red Lips fell in love with the romance of Raya but gave it a cool edge by teaming it with one of this season's hottest trends, denim. Step into Spring by wearing an oversized denim dress and flatforms but give it a fabulously feminine feel by wearing a delicate balconette bra underneath. Give it a sexier touch by leaving a couple of buttons undone...

 

 

 

 

 

SPORTS CHIC

The nation's obsession with trainers looks set to continue into the summer and we're totally loving Chopstick Panorama's perfect choice of styling for chic daywear attire. Team crisp white sneakers with complimentary tones of grey and then take it up a notch with the dramatic design of the Ines. Sumptuous velvet and gorgeous guipure lace make for a super lingerie statement so don't be afraid to step up your lingerie game this summer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 GO DOTTY

The gorgeous British blogger Lolitamas recently took care of our Easter Edit, where she showcased her favourite lingerie looks for the long Bank Holiday weekend. We loved how she teamed the luxurious lace detail of the Ella with one of summer's key talking points, polka dots. Combining sleek straight-legged trousers with a touch of ruffle and delicate floral lace couldn't be a more interesting style set-up and we think it works a treat! 

 

 

 

BODY READY

Nottingham-based blogger Sophie Ottewell showed off her sassy style when she chose the Blake Body as one of her lingerie treats for Spring and we couldn't have agreed more. Blake's beautiful mix of fashion-forward mesh, striking zip detail and satin style come together to create an elegant yet edgy look that's just as good for the bedroom as it is for the party. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FESTIVAL FABULOUS 

If there's one thing we love more than lingerie, then it's festivals and we cannot wait for the fabulous festival season to kick off once again for 2016! With the world's most stylish festival, Coachella, kicking off in a matter of weeks, it means once again that our Instagram feeds will be full of field-ready fashion and there is no reason why lingerie can't play a starring role! We love how Dutch blogger Fashion Hoax has teamed the Caitlin cami with cut-off denim shorts and oversized sunglasses for your ultimate festival fashion fix!

LONDON FASHION WEEK'S LINGERIE LOOKS

 WE DECODE LFW'S BEST LINGERIE LOOKS

The AW16 presentations around the world are coming to an end, but what did London show us for lingerie style?

February is always jam packed full of award shows, red carpets and of course, lots of fashion. We love it - it leaves us feeling fresh and ready for Spring! Whether it's the moving speeches from the BAFTAs and Oscars, the new hair hacks to try or which shoes to be seen stepping out in, we always come away from this time feeling inspired.

Of course, last week we had London's Autumn/Winter 2016 presentations, which was a whirlwind of the best British talent, stand-out style statements and inspiring trends. We've taken a look at some of the looks we loved the most and show you how to style them up with some of our key Bluebella pieces so you can be *so* ahead of the season!

GOLD WONDER

 We were enraptured with Alexander McQueen's return to London, which was a shimmering and surreal collection made up of dramatic golds, pink chiffon and boudoir-esque lace. We fell in love with this gorgeous gold gown, exuding feminine elegance in a fierce way. Emulate its fabulous feel by wearing Bluebella's Tala collection, which we have designed exclusively in-house (as with all our styles!) and its intricate design of gorgeous gold floral leaf will leave you feeling a million dollars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BLAZER  BEAUTY

 Another divine style-steal from Sarah Burton's magnificent McQueen show - this time we fell in love with the sheer sassiness of this bare-all  blazer and trouser combo. Tucked underneath the sharp-suited jacket is the contrasting feel of delicate lace, giving this no-messin' look an instant feminine feel. If you dare to bare, emulate the look with our Ella Soft Bra style, which is a gorgeous combination of soft satin, luxurious lace and delicate embroidery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DISCO DIVA

 Always a typically flamboyant affair, Ashish's bright and bold show was  a spectacle to behold, with an explosion of 70's glamour in the form of sequins, shimmer and multi-coloured afros. Totally disco inspired, we loved the deep plunges and skin-tight shapes. If you want to ravish in rainbow colours and dangerously deep necklines, then Lola's new red colour is the one for you. Team with sky-high heels and black skinny jeans to bring out the ultimate dancefloor diva in you.

 

 

 

 

MESH MADNESS

 Mesh was one material that stood out for us across the catwalk shows, featured across a variety of different shows. We loved SImone Rocha's contrasting hues of light, neutral pastels with dark, gothic moods and the see-through mesh added a touch of glorious glamour. Mesh is a super easy way of showing off your skin without revealing too much and we've used it in some of our favourite Bluebella styes this season. Try the Blake Body for a similar high-neck impact and team with a dramatic black duster for an evening-ready look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COLLAR-UP

 We started with McQueen and we are finishing with McQueen too because quite frankly, we couldn't resist.  We spotted this collared style, which opened up into a peek-a-boo cut-away and, after just launching our brand new Maddox style, we couldn't help but love it. Maddox is an opulent, eye-catching collar bra that transforms your lingerie look into one you've never had before. Too good to cover up, it transforms your decolletage into a dazzling fashion statement!
