WANT TO FIND THE PERFECT LINGERIE FOR HER THIS VALENTINE'S?
Look no further, help is at hand!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it's the perfect excuse to treat your lady to something special. Whether she forns over flowers or romanticises about candlelit meals, there's one thing for certain... she lusts over lingerie and this is the occasion to wow her with something she'll love wearing and you'll love taking off.
But here at Bluebella HQ, we know that shopping for your better half can be stressful, especially when it comes to buying lingerie... however it doesn't need to be. Simply follow our step-by-step guide and you'll be her lingerie expert in no time...
SIZE
It's super easy to find out what her size is. When she's not about have a quick look in her lingerie drawer and have a look at the sizing label which will detail 30B, 32B etc - that's your size right there. It's important to stick to the size that you see in her drawer because then you know that the bra should fit perfectly. Bluebella's sizing varies depending on the style so make sure you take this into account too. For example, a traditional bra style will be listed in the standard 30B way but for products which are halternecks or sports-luxe styles, these are often listed as S, M, L so make sure you know her dress size too. Typically a Small is 8 - 10, a Medium 10 - 12 and Large 12 - 14. If you're still a little unsure, we also have a very hand sizing guide right here!

Now you know her size, what style do you go for? The first place to look again is in her lingerie drawer and familiarize yourself with the sorts of shapes and styles she likes wearing. Does she have a penchant for plunge or a softness for strapless? The styles she likes are a good place to start because you can be confident that not only will it suit her but she'll adore it, too. It's always an added bonus to opt for a matching bra and briefs set (after all, a treat like that is what makes Valentine's so special) so have a look at the shape of knicker she likes to wear. Is she a thong addict or a Brazilian buff? If you're not sure what all the style terminology means, don't worry! All our bras are categorised so you can have a look at what defines a plunge from a balconette easily. Once you have narrowed down the style, the fun starts...

Now on to the good stuff... you've got the size and the style, so what about the substance? Whether she's a lace lover or a satin sweetheart, we have lots of different pieces that she's bound to love so don't fret if you're not sure. Traditional materials like lace adorn many of our styles, from the romantic Cara to the fashion-forward, edgier style of Gia, as does sumptuous satin (try our range of Satin Kimonos orRaya style). But if you think she'll like something different, opt for fashion-forward material such as mesh, metallic lace and even cut-out detail. TheBlake is a perfect option for style conscious girls with its contrasting panel work, as is the the Tala with its dramatic gold metallic lace.
SPIRIT
The last thing to remember is spirit... and by this we mean is she romantic, erotic, seductive or passionate? The right lingerie can be very important to ensuring her inner-most spirit comes out! A romantic personality will like soft, feminine shapes and sumptuous satins like the Julianna are perfect. If you think she'll want to ignite her indulgent side, then the Vivienne with its beautiful bow detail is the one for her. If she likes bringing out her erotic style then our beautifully shaped Ouvert bras will be much loved. Our signature style of the Nova is a delicate open-bust bra whilst the new Luna (pictured) is a provocative take on contemporary style. Team these both with open briefs for the ultimate bedroom passion...

For the SS16 collection, we've focused on expressing dramatic sensuality through soft satins, sheer mesh and contemporary lace, creating an air of mystery and allure to the lingerie looks you'll be choosing for the season ahead. The 
We also focused on a confident colour palette to create a directional range that meant every product complimented each other, using captivating golds and perfect pastels in harmony with darker hues. The 
Part
of the BBC's Sound of 2016, singer-songwriter Dua Lipa has certainly
kicked off the year in the right way. Born in London, the 20 year old
was raised on Bob Dylan and David Bowie and her first record she
purchased was Nelly Furtado (remember her?!) Securing a modelling
contract a few years ago was the start in her journey and in 2012 she
began uploading her original tracks onto Soundcloud. It wasn't long
before she caught the attention of non other than Lana Del Rey's
managers, who immediately signed her up and started her up with
collaborating with the likes of Bruno Mars and, of course, Lana Del Rey.
We love her deep, smokey and pop-filled sounds and her current track Be
The One is full of fun and fresh beats - just what we need to beat the
January Blues! Look out for her first 
It
doesn't feel like two minutes ago since it was London 2012 and what a
summer that was! It's hard to imagine ever finding another Olympics
quite so exciting when it's not on your doorstep BUT if London 2012 did
one thing for pretty much everyone, it was to show us that every man and
his dog - whether a sports lover or not - could fully enjoy the games
and reap the benefits. Kicking off on Friday 5th August in Brazil's Rio
de Janeiro, we can't wait to see what the incredible Team GB can do once
again. Stella McCartney is responsible once again for ensuring the
sports starts look and feel their best as she exclusively designs the
Team GB 2016 kit and we're excited to see what the likes of Dina
Asher-Smith, Jessica Ennis-Hill, swimmer Lucy Hall and boxer Nicola
Adams will all bring and whether they'll walk away with the Gold. For
us, it's sure to bring a summer-filled fun-fest with friends as everyone
gets together to watch - we can't wait!
As
more of us strive for a less stressful life, more and more of us are
taking up creative and crafty hobbies in a bid to enjoy precious 'me'
time that doesn't just involve sitting infront of the TV for a marathon
Netflix session. Having a hobby is not only on the rise, but it is also
good for your mental health PLUS means that if you have a class booked
in for 6pm every Tuesday, there's no excuses to stay behind at work.
We're big fans of photography and learning how to create gorgeous images
with a semi-professional camera (and not just our iPhone!). Other
hobbies that more and more of us are turning to include floristry, life
drawing and even ballroom dancing. And there isn't a better time than
the start of the year to kick off with something fresh!
And
of course, it wouldn't be a Hot List without a little look at what the
fashion world will bring us this year. With London Fashion Week AW16
next month, it won't be long before next winter's trends are revealed
but we can only just about deal with this winter at the moment! If we
look ahead to the Spring/Summer season, we'll see trends such as the
dainty slip-on (yes, of the Nightwear variety) making an outerwear
comeback, soft gingham, vivid prints, exciting ruffles and graphic
stripes being style staples for the summer months. We can't wait!
