SPRING SUMMER '16 STYLING IDEAS

We show you how to style up your lingerie for the SS16 season ahead...

We are now officially in the throws of Spring, hooray! Having patiently waited for what seems like an age, we couldn't be more excited at Spring starting to make its mark with fresh mornings, gorgeous daffodils and the sun still spilling low in the sky when we get home from work. A new season typically brings about a new shift in style and this is even more important for Spring... everything feels so rejuvenated and there is no better time to rejuvenate your style, either.

Changing from Winter's wardrobe to Spring's style couldn't be easier. Here we show your our top tips for a simple shake-up of season-to-season lingerie looks, courtesy of the fabulous styling from our fashion blogging friends!

DENIM

Barcelona-based blogger Laura Red Lips fell in love with the romance of Raya but gave it a cool edge by teaming it with one of this season's hottest trends, denim. Step into Spring by wearing an oversized denim dress and flatforms but give it a fabulously feminine feel by wearing a delicate balconette bra underneath. Give it a sexier touch by leaving a couple of buttons undone...

 

 

 

 

 

SPORTS CHIC

The nation's obsession with trainers looks set to continue into the summer and we're totally loving Chopstick Panorama's perfect choice of styling for chic daywear attire. Team crisp white sneakers with complimentary tones of grey and then take it up a notch with the dramatic design of the Ines. Sumptuous velvet and gorgeous guipure lace make for a super lingerie statement so don't be afraid to step up your lingerie game this summer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 GO DOTTY

The gorgeous British blogger Lolitamas recently took care of our Easter Edit, where she showcased her favourite lingerie looks for the long Bank Holiday weekend. We loved how she teamed the luxurious lace detail of the Ella with one of summer's key talking points, polka dots. Combining sleek straight-legged trousers with a touch of ruffle and delicate floral lace couldn't be a more interesting style set-up and we think it works a treat! 

 

 

 

BODY READY

Nottingham-based blogger Sophie Ottewell showed off her sassy style when she chose the Blake Body as one of her lingerie treats for Spring and we couldn't have agreed more. Blake's beautiful mix of fashion-forward mesh, striking zip detail and satin style come together to create an elegant yet edgy look that's just as good for the bedroom as it is for the party. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FESTIVAL FABULOUS 

If there's one thing we love more than lingerie, then it's festivals and we cannot wait for the fabulous festival season to kick off once again for 2016! With the world's most stylish festival, Coachella, kicking off in a matter of weeks, it means once again that our Instagram feeds will be full of field-ready fashion and there is no reason why lingerie can't play a starring role! We love how Dutch blogger Fashion Hoax has teamed the Caitlin cami with cut-off denim shorts and oversized sunglasses for your ultimate festival fashion fix!

THE BANK HOLIDAY EDIT WITH LOLITAMAS

 EASTER STYLE WITH LOLITAMAS

Lolita from Lolitamas shows us how she'll be styling up her Easter Weekend...

If there's one thing that excites us more than lingerie, it's the prospect of a four day weekend! With Easter just around the corner, we invited one of our favourite fashion bloggers, Lolitamas, to choose her favourite Bluebella pieces and share with us her ultimate Bank Holiday weekend styling tips. Whether you're jetting off on a city break or relaxing and catching up with friends, Lolitamas' gorgeous styling shows us how you can work your favourite lingerie looks into your weekend wardrobe...

CULTURE VULTURE 

 A four day weekend is the perfect excuse to spend time wandering around galleries, sipping lazy coffees and seeing the sights of the world. Whether you're off discovering new lands or simply staying put and catching up with your local area, a smart 'n' sassy outfit is the way to see it in. Lolita has chosen the deliciously delicate Ella Soft Bra, which is a beautiful addition to the perfect polka dot style she's opting for. Teaming one of SS16's key trends, ruffles, with straight-legged trousers is a must for anyone who wants to be ahead of the Fash Pack this summer and finishing it off with luxurious lace underneath will make you feel amazing, trust us! 

 

RELAXING WITH FRIENDS

 This is one of the only weekends of the year where we have more time than usual to relax, see friends and family and catch-up with general life. Seeing friends and family has to be one of the highlights of having an extended break and with Spring starting to really kick in now, what to wear for a good old catch up with the girls? Fingers crossed that our good old British weather will hold out and we'll get to see a glimmer of sun! We love Lolitamas' chic and sheer take on calm, pastel hues that are the perfect pick-me-up for a Spring-ready look. For a gorgeous feminine feel, Lolita has teamed her look with theRaya Soft Cup Bra, which has pretty eyelash lace detail in a beautiful ivory colour. Why cover up some of your favourite lingerie when you can incorporate it into your outfit?

GIFT GIVING

 When Easter Sunday rolls round, why not give a family member or friend a gorgeous gift to make them smile... or even treat yourself? Step into the new season with an update to your Nightwear collection... out with the wintery wears and in with the fresh, lightweight looks of Spring! The gorgeously delicate Julianna top & short set in pink is the perfect partner for lounging around in as the evenings get lighter... with soft scalloped edging and intricate floral detailing, we can see why it was one of Lolita's favourites! 

 

 

 

 

I WOKE UP LIKE THIS

 Nothing says Easter like lounging around all day eating chocolate and we will DEFINITELY be doing that! Lolita shows you don't have to compromise on style when relaxing - she's teamed the Ella bra with the Claudia Pyjama set (Lolita is wearing the top only here) for a simple yet stylish affair that will see you through a relaxing day at home.  We wished we looked like this when we woke up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL CATCH-UP

 One of Lolitamas' favourite pieces is our new-in, show-stopping Maddox Collar  bra - a style which is one of the highlights of our Spring/Summer collection. We couldn't wait to see what it looked like on her and she did not disappoint! With its gorgeous gold detailing and opulent lace, the Maddox is a two-look style with the high-neck collar detachable, depending on the look you want to go for. Naturally, as with any Bank Holiday, high on your agenda is most likely hitting the dancefloor or catching up over cocktails and this fashion-forward lingerie look is a worthy outfit in its own right. Make like Lolita and team with a smart-looking black blazer for an all-killer-no-filler look.

Check out Lolita's gorgeous blog Lolitamas and herInstagram page. She'll also be offering an exclusive discount very soon on these selected products ahead of Easter, so keep your eyes peeled!

OUR SPRING/SUMMER 2016 COLLECTION HAS ARRIVED

 EXPLORE OUR NEW COLLECTION! 

We give you the low down on our brand new SS16 collection...

Today may be known as 'Blue Monday' (apparently the most depressing day of the year) but here at Bluebella, we're taking things into our own hands. We're going to unofficially call today BlueBELLA Monday as we have just launched our brand new Spring/Summer 2016 collection and if that's not a good reason to help banish the January Blues then we don't know what is!

We're so excited to be able to share with you the first drop from our new range as we look forward to a new year and new season, as we move from an opulent Autumn/Winter season through to a fresh SS16 range, inspired by innocence and indiscretion. Below we give you an exclusive look into some of our personal favourites so what are you waiting for? Get banishing those January Blues!

GIA

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 Gia is the perfect style to kick us off. A sumptuous style, the Gia bra and briefs set is a lightweight look ideal for balmy summer evenings. Its sophisticated halterneck shape makes its own style statement and together with the decoration of luxe lace dancing over your modesty, the Gia is a fashion-forward look as well as a seductive style choice. We love it because slipping it on can instantly make you feel effortlessly enticing...

 

  

TALA

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 Tala is one of our favourite styles that combines all of these colour stories. A must-have for your SS16 wardrobe, the eye-catching embellishment of the gold metallic lace detail laid over the stylish sheer mesh will ensure all eyes are on you. The delicate scalloped hem further adds sophistication whilst the low-cut back adds a flirtatious feel. Almost too good just to wear behind closed doors...

 

 

 

RAYA

Raya  is the perfect bridal lingerie alternative if you are on the search for the Big Day. This delicate balconette bra is stylishly seductive with its whispers of eyelash lace framing the bust and gentle pastel hues bringing in fresh spring tones. The gold satin straps add an air of feminine decadence and loop down into the bust to fashionably frame each cup. Ruched satin on the back strapping ensures a luxe feel both front and back and by teaming with the matching Raya Briefs, you'll feel instantly a new season uplift!

 

 

 

 

LUNA

If you're a Nova lover, you'll no doubt love the Luna.With its provocative open cup style, it has a wearable luxe panel of fashion-forward symmetrical lines that really give it a style edge. Confident and contemporary, this style merges experimental design with seductive style and the result is a bold lingerie look that will be the staple of any SS16 wardrobe. If you dare to bare, then team with the matching Luna Briefs  which fabulously show off your derriere with a stylish cut-out detailing.
