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!

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 
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
