AS AUTUMN ARRIVES, WILL YOU BE UPDATING YOUR LINGERIE DRAWER?
A new season is always a good excuse for a new wardrobe and a new lingerie drawer...
Even though summer's been and gone, there's nothing quite like the excitement of a new, Autumnal season as leaves start to fall, countless cosy nights in with wine are completely acceptable and of course, a new wardrobe is almost a necessity. But what about your underwear drawer? A transition into a new season is the perfect time to give your lingerie the refresh it needs.
Here we run down some of our key AW15 products and hopefully help you decide which ones to pick!
INES
The Ines collection has only been available on Bluebella.com for a few weeks but it's already proving a huge hit with our fashionista friends, with world-renowned bloggers such as Charlotte Martin and Sasimb styling it up in incredible fashion (check out our Instagram page!)
The
The Ines bra is a bold, stand-out style with dramatic guipure lace encased in a triangle structured and finished off with luxurious velvet. Team it with the Ines brief or if you're feeling more daring, opt for theOuvet brief. It's deliciously provocative yet stylishly feminine and is adorned with a beautiful lace trim at the front. AND, if you want to complete the whole look, the Ines Harness is the ultimate way to bring to life any fantasies you might have...
CHRISTABEL
Fancy a touch of ravenous red in your lingerie collection? The Christabel arrived last week and is going to be one of the key styles for the season. Playful yet provocative, this style continues the guipure lace theme but this time in a quarter cup fashion, allowing you to stylishly show off your curves. Complete with lace droplets structuring the front and a satin back band finishing off the back, this is a bra designed not to be hidden!

NOVA
If you follow us on Instagram, you'll no doubt have noticed the many times that this bra has sent the Internet into meltdown! One of our best sellers of the summer, how could we not continue it for the next season?! Loved by our fashion friends, including the likes of Nyane Lebajoa, Natali Miru, Manara Isabela and many more, the Nova's ouvert cups framed with intricate floral motifs have proved to be a style that many of you want in your drawer. Finished off with a trio of delicate straps over each shoulder and a subtle diamante at the front, this is a treat too good to cover up!

Team with either the Nova brief or thong, with the former staying true to the style's name with a delicate ouvert style at the back, completed with carefully constructed fashion-forward strapping.
SELENA
If you're wanting a more laid-back style for the Autumn, then look no further than the Selena. Inspired by sports-luxe style, the bandeau bra is made out of stylish, sheer mesh that is perfect for those days where you want a more casual-chic look. Black in colour and finished off with simple strapping, it's a style that you can wear either staying in or going out - we love. As a bra set, it comes with matching Selena briefs so you can finish the look off in style.
If you're wanting a more laid-back style for the Autumn, then look no further than the GIOVANNA
If there was ever a bra made for the party season, then this would most definitely be it. Combining sensual red, moulded cups and sheer mesh, theGiovanna is a bold and stand-out style designed for those who want to make a real statement with their underwear. The moulded red cups are overlaid with classic sheer mesh and the structured framework of the bra effortlessly holds it all together. The final detail is the cut-out at the front, which subtly allows you to show off some skin.

Opt to complete the look with either the Giovanna brief or thong - the favourite of ours being the latter, as the edgy, two-tiered straps create a fashion-forward finish to the whole collection.
Thought that the Seventies was just a summer fling? Think again - the flares are staying put. Whether you're a bohemian babe or more of an uptown 70's chic, there will be something to suit you. Expect corduroy dungarees for weekends, peasant blouses for the office and skinny scarves to be on the shop shelves come Autumn. Fringed apparel isn't going anywhere either, with fringed waistcoats and capes taking centre stage.
If there was one stand-out colour trend on the catwalks of AW15, then it was certainly red. Scarlet, traffic light, crimson, ketchup - whatever you call it, all the big fashion houses were getting in on the action. Dior, Marni and Fendi in particular were working the hue from head-to-toe, cutting some of the boldest figures of the season in the process. Again, a refreshing colour for deepest, darkest winter so we're 100% on board. And if you don't want to wear all of it but still want some of the action, just grab your favourite red lipstick colour and let your pout do the talking!
No matter what your age, there's something about sequins and glitter that we just love. After seasons of pared-back plainness and muted tones, injecting a bit of fun into fashion is just what the doctor ordered. Expect to see LBDs adorned with sequins and heels shimmering in glitter for the forthcoming season, taking inspiration from the likes of Proenza Schouler, Rodarte and Julie de Libran. Perfect for the party season...
If colour, graphics and glitter isn't your thing, fear not. Another key trend for AW15 harks back to the Victorian ages, creating a darkly decadent theme for the season. Expect lots of black and an array of textured fabrics, complete with frilled details and floor-skimming lengths - the perfect way to take hold of the darker side of fashion this winter. Want to take another approach to it? Wear a black sheer top with a black bra on show underneath for a modern update on this classic trend.
