If You've Got It Haunt It - Bluebella Does Halloween

Something wicked this way comes!

Not sure ‘witch’ outfit for Halloween? Bluebella is here to help.

For a hauntingly fabulous Halloween, style your favourite Bluebella pieces with a smokey eye and a lot of black. Just the way we like it.

The Eliza chemise will give you the perfect "witchy" look without compromising on the class. No fake blood needed, just a bit of red lippy and a deadly cat eye.

 

For a more daring and seductive look Coco is your girl. Style with an eye mask for the perfect touch of hauntingly seductive indiscretion.

Etienne will give you a scarily feline look if paired with some cat ears and a smile. Oh and don't forget your (fake) fur!

And for some makeup inspo check out some of our favourite Halloween looks on Pinterest.

Bluebella's Fashion Week Round Up

This year we are more in love with fashion than ever before.

Here at Bluebella we have always loved the lingerie-as-outerwear look but this year we have found that fashion week has embraced that look too.

From Narciso Rodriguez on it’s catwalk at New York Fashion week (steal the look with the Bluebella Gia Body) to Julian Macdonald introducing beautiful caged lace which our own Cassia Body and Top and Short do so well.

Directional strapping features have also adorned catwalks and after parties alike. A statement piece like the Alanna combines the best of both worlds - the little black dress and beautiful back details.

Long duster coats that float around your figure are also key to this season's statement pieces. A soft kimono will flow perfectly around your body and add a delicate touch to a statement look.

But Fashion week is not all about the catwalk. The FROW has also featured some of our favourite looks.

Alicia Keys rocked fishnet perfectly with a delicately pink blazer and trousers making the perfect feminine statement. Steal the look with our own Jamie T-shirt and pair with your favourite pinks.

Comfy slip dresses have also been show-stealers. What better way to get through a night of catwalks and parties than in a comfy slip dress carefully hugging your body. Wear the look with our Sephy chemise and roll straight into bed after a long night.

PYJAMA DRESSING - our new favourite look

"A woman may and does wear pyjamas to quite formal dinners in her own house, to other people's dinners in town and country if you know them well and the more iconoclastic members of the female sex even wear them to the theatre."

"Pyjamas – When are they worn?" Vogue 1 June 1931

 People might think that the pyjamas as outerwear trend has only just come around from the most eclectic and forward thinking fashionistas. But this combination of style and comfort, found in a pair of sleek shirt and trouser pyjamas, has been central to wardrobes of some of the most stylish women in history.

Coco Chanel not only innovated the female style and introduced comfort to the female wardrobe but wore her silk garments with pride and paired them with her attitude for the ultimate strong female look.

Audrey Hepburn as Regina Lampert in Charade looked ravishingly stylish in all her outfits, but it was the beautiful set of navy blue silk pyjamas with white accents that really made us fall in love.

Claudette Colbert, the silent film actress, was the first one to wear a beautiful set of pyjamas on the big screen, and Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo soon followed.

Thus, pyjamas became sophisticated evening attire for casual yet stylish entertaining.

Furthermore, drawing inspiration from the wide-legged trouser of the 40s, the 60s brought forward the palazzo pant. It was a comfortable yet fashionable fit when paired with silk. Effortless comfort at it’s best.

Today pyjama dressing is a centrepiece to the chic and fabulous. Selena Gomez paired a beautiful set of pyjamas with a bold lip and sandals for the ultimate statement look. Kate Moss, the ever so modish icon, created a whole collection of pyjamas especially for dressing out.

Pyjamas were a major trend among the attendees of Milan fashion week and the style completely took over New York fashion week this year. It wasn’t only designers opting for the silky shirt look - some of the biggest fashionistas wore their nightwear proudly with chunky coats and sky-high heels.

Here at Bluebella we not only admire Chanel and so many other fabulous women that embraced this look, but we also cherish the comfort of a good set of pyjamas. We love it so much that we can’t resist wearing the Claudia and Abigail on a regular basis, both inside and outside of the house.

Whether it is to the office or on the way to Happy Hour, a pyjama shirt or trousers (or together for the ultimate statement) can be the perfect outfit accessory.

COOL BRITANNIA -Behind the scenes of our AW16 photoshoot

Delve into what happens behind the scenes...

 

Hi there, it's Emily here, founder of Bluebella. I want to share with you what's been going on lately at Bluebella HQ!

Bluebella's AW16 photoshoot was all the way back in December, and having designed what we feel was 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'd have to wait until now to see the results! But fear not, the wait is over and the collection is available for order on site now!

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!

New Season - Bluebella Inspired by Nature...

We could not wait any longer to show you our gorgeous new season… so many beautiful styles are now on our site to make you feel fabulous.

 When thinking about this season, here at Bluebella HQ, we wanted something that would tie femininity and nature together in beautiful lingerie pieces.

The new collection was inspired by the cold breeze of an Autumn morning and the softness of the falling leaves. We thought about the most enchanting aspects of nature and created beautiful lingerie and nightwear pieces, that will be a timeless addition to your wardrobe.

Fresh autumn air inspired the Valentina – a collection as timeless as autumn. The rose dust edging is the perfect representation of the last bits of colour of the season and a delicate nod to femininity.

The delicate light of dusk in winter made us create some of our favourite lace pieces.

The Emily, Esme and Odele sets are perfect when worn for a fabulous winter night. Be it to show them off or as a delicate detail of your favourite outfit.

As the new seasons roll around, your body will need that extra bit of love. Treat yourself to fabulous piece like Fleur or Gia for the perfect combination of lace and subtlety for when winter jumpers get a bit too much.
