Introducing our stunning new Aegean Bikini Top and Brief! This bold two piece is bound to make a statement, with clean cut contrasting panels teamed with delicate mesh inserts. A modern classic, simple yet oh-so effective and stylish.
You’re also going to adore our Aegean Swimsuit. Bold panels and mesh inserts, combined with a daring open back, embrace the figure and flatter the physique. Make a striking statement whilst sipping cocktails at a beach bar or immersing yourself in a book poolside.
Our Catalan Swimsuit emits major Baywatch vibes, and you too can feel fabulous jogging in slow motion along sandy shores (N.B. 'The Hoff' is not included). Dramatic panelling draws the eye inwards, enhancing the physique, and is completed with a contrasting functional zip down the centre front. This gorgeous piece is available in Black (with the contrast zip in striking pink) and White (with a black zip and trim), designed to complement and enhance your holiday tan.
At Bluebella we love all things lace, and our beautiful new Cilicia Swimsuit really embraces this outlook. Delicate guipure embellishes the blush pink panels, beautifully contrasting the sultry black. A daring low-cut neckline draws focus and flatters the shape, carefully balancing the silhouette. We predict this piece will be filling up Instagram feeds this summer and we’re not complaining!
Our Kariba Bikini Bra and Bikini Brief is another perfect set for ‘gramming this season. Fashion-forward fishnet on our Rose Dust pink is a combo you'll recognise from our Fern Bra and High-waist Bikini Brief, only now you can rock the look chilling by the pool. The Bikini Brief's bold side panels flatter the hips, while the high-neck halter shape of the Bikini Bra enhances the shoulders.
We’re also embracing the fishnet with our seductive new Levantine Wired Bikini Top and Brief. Sensual soft netting encases the structured cups, peaking in a high apex on the shoulder, flattering and elongating the figure. The wrap-around design of the Bikini Brief gently caresses the waist. Release your inner femme fatale. 
Embrace your inner Bond girl in our retro-inspired Samar Swimsuit. This fabulous asymmetrical piece is designed to flatter and delight. The shoulder strap is fixed with with a stunning oversized gold ring, whilst the carefully calculated cut-outs help to create fluidity and shape.

#BESTRONGBEBEAUTIFUL

Join Our Conversation This Summer...


During this incredible summer of sport, we have launched a very exciting campaign called #BeStrongBeBeautiful to start a conversation around strength and beauty. 
We have teamed up with three amazing athletes to celebrate the strong female form and to hopefully encourage women of all abilities to feel confident in enjoying sport and be proud of their bodies. As Emma Watson discussed in her ‘He for She’ campaign, too many girls and women are still inhibited from following their sporting dreams due to perceived opinion around a strong female form not looking feminine. The biggest misconception is that female athletes are tomboys, their physical strength makes them unfeminine, they don’t fit into the mould of ‘the pretty girl’.
We want to teach girls that femininity does not indicate weakness, just as masculinity does not equal strength. We believe that every woman, whether she’s a fitness fanatic, a once-a-week gym goer or looking to simply start a sporting hobby, should have the confidence to work her body how she wants and be proud of her inner and outer strength.
We're proud to have worked with three incredibly inspirational women on this campaign, who are all expected to be stars of the summer - Amber Hill, Stefanie Reid and Bryony Shaw. All of them have been on their own personal journeys in regards to their bodies, confidence and strength and want to encourage women of all ages to enjoy sport and be proud of their bodies. 
#BeStrongBeBeautiful is all about taking control and having the confidence to build the body you want to build, regardless of outdated ideas about femininity and muscularity. Over the next few weeks, we'll be discussing the campaign on our social media platforms and we want you to join in the conversation too! For exclusive behind the scenes footage, one-to-one interviews and much more, head over to our dedicated page now!

BLUEBELLA Q&A: WOLF & MOON

BLUEBELLA X WOLF & MOON: INTERVIEW WITH FOUNDER HANNAH DAVIS


Lingerie and jewellery go so well together!

We love working with other brands that we adore and we were super excited when East London jewellery brand 
Wolf & Moon wanted to team up with us. Founded by Hannah Davis, like us, Wolf & Moon prides itself on being a female-led entrepreneurial brand and offers amazing designs at affordable prices. Because we love amazing jewellery just like the next girl does, we wanted to show you how to style up our favourite Bluebella pieces with the Wolf & Moon pieces we're totally obsessed with...
First though, check out our exclusive chat with Wolf & Moon founder Hannah and find out all about the brand...

Q: TELL US ABOUT WOLF & MOON

Hannah: We're an independent jewellery brand based in East London. Our jewellery is graphic, modern and playful - we love to mix up colour, texture and shape creating a unique aesthetic. All pieces are handmade in our workshop by our small team of skilled makers.

Q: HOW DID YOU START THE BRAND? 

Hannah: I started making jewellery when I was very young, but when I moved to London for university I got the opportunity to start selling my pieces on a market stall every weekend. It was so satisfying selling pieces I had made and seeing customers return with their friends the following week. It went from there really - I picked up a few stockists, opened an online shop and when I graduated I started taking on assistants to help with the work load!


Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PIECES FOR SS16? 

Hannah: My favourite pieces are the Column earrings (left) - I've found they go with everything and aren't too dressy for daywear. Also the Marble U necklace - I'm really happy with the marble pattern and love the combination of materials in this piece. 

Q: WHY DO YOU THINK LINGERIE AND ACCESSORIES ARE SO IMPORTANT?

Hannah: Wearing pretty lingerie makes me feel great inside even if  no one else will see it. Accessories can transform an outfit and really say something unique about who I am. I would say both are super important in helping us feel good about ourselves, inside and out!

Q: WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE BLUEBELLA X WOLF & MOON COLLABORATION? 

Hannah: I loved the chance to photograph our jewellery alongside another brand, especially lingerie, which we haven't done before. It's always a challenge photographing something new but they worked really well together!


Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BLUEBELLA PIECE? 

Hannah: I love the Raya Soft bra (first picture, above) - it's feminine but with an edgy side to it.


Q: ANY ACCESSORY STYLING TIPS FOR THE SUMMER AHEAD? 

Hannah: In the summer I love wearing longer pendants over loose-fitting dresses for a more relaxed look.

Q: WHERE WILL YOU BE MOST LIKELY HANGING OUT THIS SUMMER?

Hannah: I'm taking the brand to two festivals this summer - Latitude and Wilderness! Come hang out with us!

SEPHY

Finish off the look with our signature harness and ouvert briefs before slipping underneath a summer dress to make your seasonal style just that little bit more provocative...

WHY WE LOVE LONDON!

LONDON'S CALLING...

All the reasons why we love our hometown... and why you should too!

As part of our #BluebellaLoves series, we're currently running an exciting competition for one lucky Bluebella fan to win the ultimate weekend in our hometown of London! The winner will stay overnight at the exclusive Ampersand Hotel in Kensington, get a pair of tickets to this year's most talked about exhibition at the V&A, 'Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear' and get £250 to treat yourself to some Bluebella gorgeousness! Not that you needed any persuading to enter, but we thought we'd give you the low down on what we love about our beloved capital city.
If this doesn't tempt you, we don't know what will!

CITY SUN

 London is without doubt THE best place to be in the summer. Whilst we know our typical British weather doesn't always work in our favour, when it does, boy is it good! The city comes alive in a way it doesn't in the winter - everybody flocks to the pubs post-work, spends weekends in the city's many parks or meets friends for brunch al-fresco style. We love strolling around Regent's Park and taking a walk up Primrose Hill in North London, before hopping over to Hampstead for a quintessentially British brunch! Or if we're in Chelsea, we love wandering down the King's Road for a spot of shopping and the occasional celeb spotting too.

 

 

 

MUSEUM GOLD

 If you're the lucky winner of our competition, then you'll be staying in an area that is famous for its museums, South Kensington. London's rich history and deep-rooted culture means there's many things to learn about and afternoon's can easily disappear within an exhibition, whether it's the Natural History's display of dinosaurs or the Science Museum's state-of-the-art technology. What we're most interested in, however, is the V&A's outstanding showcase dedicated to all things lingerie with their new exhibition 'Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear'. Exploring the journey lingerie has made through the decades, it's a must for any lingerie lover and that's why we're giving the winner a pair of tickets to it... we promise you will not be left disappointed!

 

 

 

 

FOODIE FANATICS

 If you're anything like us, then you'll be just as obsessed with food! London's vibrant foodie scene continues to grow and whatever your taste buds desire, you can get. Take a stroll up Islington's hub of Upper Street where you'll find every cuisine (that doesn't break the bank) you could ever imagine - we especially love Ottolenghi, whose founder Yotam is widely regarded as one of Britain's best chefs. If you're in Central, make sure you take a good walk around Soho's bustling streets where you'll find yourself immersed in the very best of the city's culture. For a cheap eat of £20, try Burger & Lobster, which does exactly what it says on the tin and trust us, it's amazing! If you want a more boozy brunch, head South to Bunga Bunga which is the spot for all day drinking and eating, plus a bit of karaoke thrown in for fun too.

 

 

THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE...

 Show business! And of course, any trip to London wouldn't be complete without West End show. Whilst there is all the great shows that have been around for years (and we thoroughly recommend you go see them) such as Lion King, Wicked and Billy Elliot, there are constantly new and exciting ones that come around for a limited time only and this summer, Branagh's Romeo & Juliet at the Garrick Theatre in Covent Garden is one of them. Starring Lily James (pictured) and Richard Madden, they tell the tale of Shakespeare's heartbreaking story of forbidden love. The show is part of five different plays under the Branagh banner that brings together a remarkable group of actors including Dame Judi Dench, so if you don't manage to get tickets to this show there's another four to choose from. A must!

OUR FAVOURITE LOOKS FROM SPRING 2017 BRIDAL WEEK!

OUR FAVOURITE LOOKS FROM SPRING 2017 BRIDAL WEEK!

The hottest looks from the bridal world...
Spring 2017 New York International Bridal Week, THE hottest date in the Bridal world's calendar, has just wrapped up for another season. With lots of gorgeous gowns, luxurious ivory and stunning ideas, we give you the low down on the hottest trends from across the pond. These will be the trends for 2017 so if you're a Bride-To-Be for next year, then you are in the right place!

SHORT AND SWEET

Iconic British designer Temperley is renowned for her Bridal collection and she didn't disappoint in the Big Apple. Shunning the traditional floor length gown, Temperley and other designers including Oscar de la Renta, opted for vintage-inspired thigh-skimming dresses. We've fallen in love with this utterly gorgeous number with its floaty ruffles and high-necked mesh, pulled in with a beautiful satin band. Our delicately styled Raya would be the perfect match for this kind of style, with gorgeous eyelash detail lace and feminine allure...

HIGH HALTERS
Lots of our lingerie looks include halterneck styles so we were excited to see the Haute Couture crowd leading the way for the Bridal brigade. Lela Rose (left), Christian Siriano and Temperley (below) led the look and we love the embellished elegance of jewel-encrusted necklines, the perfect way to subtly add-on stylish glamour.


CHIC CAPLETS
We obviously adore any style that showcases lingerie and we loved Monique Lhuillier's (left) flowing three-tiered skirt paired with a sumptuous scalloped edge lace top, which shows off the nude tones of the beautiful bralet underneath. The covered arms and high neck means the look still looks gorgeously feminine and teamed with luscious long hair, it's a great way to show off a subtle hint of sexy on your big day. Our Raya Soft Cup would bring an edgy feel to this look.


PERFECT PANTS
If you're not a dress kinda girl, then there is most certainly power in the pants these days. Elegant jumpsuits and fabulously fitted trousers can play center stage just as well as a traditional dress can. We adore this Carolina Herrera ever-so-chic one piece as it's a sassy and smart take on Bridalwear, showing off the feminine form in a beautifully elegant way. The sharpness of the collar contrasting with the veil gives it an edgy yet delicate appeal... love!
