Perfectly Purple Lingerie

I am loving the purple trend in the lingerie industry right now. Purple is such a versatile, rich color with so many different shades that can convey different moods. It’s the classic color of royalty - a color that in it’s lighter tones can signify spring time and new beginnings while it’s darker tones portray the changing seasons and calming vibes. Purple can be paired with different textures, fabrics and is wildly sexy in the world of lingerie. Take a look for yourself:

Bella BellaBoutique has a gorgeous collection of violet pieces, and I love that there are so many options for you to choose from!

1 // J’AdoreTeddy by Oh La La Cheri Paris – I love the texture of this teddy. A lovely combination of lace, velvet and mesh, this teddy is a luxurious addition to any lingerie wardrobe.

2 // StefaniaBra by Oha La La Cheri Paris – This bra is such a great year round staple. The lilac and black combination makes it adorable in both the spring and summer and then in the fall and winter seasons.

3 // VintageDoll Fitted Babydoll Set by Fantasy Lingerie – The black and purple color combination is so fun, feminine and flirty. This babydoll is a gorgeous combination of mesh, lace and stain side panels.

4 // MarikaVera LOU Silk Camisole and French Knickers Set – I think this is my favorite of all the purple pieces we have featured. The stretch chiffon and silk satin make me want to lounge in this all week long.

5 // CinthiaBabydoll Set by Oh La La Cheri Paris – I love the deep shade of burgundy and lace trimming on this babydoll. It’s perfect for Fall and Winter!

6 // NoraBabydoll Set by Oh La La Cheri Paris – This brand has embraced the gorgeous purple hues this year and I absolutely adore this babydoll set. The crossed straps, sheer lace and satin front panel all come together perfectly.

What about you? Do you love wearing the color purple year round?

I've been a fan of Tatu Couture forever, so I'm thrilled that Bella Bella Boutique is now carrying it! Tatu Coutureis the creation of Luisa Sidoli which plays with the concept of "illusion dressing" which combines the best parts of tattoo inspired fashion, lingerie, and shapewear.

The Tatu Couture line includes both panties and bodysuits of all sorts. Each piece is constructed from fabrics that mimic the feel of light hold shapewear and feature tattoo designs printed on soft high quality mesh.

The printed tattoo designs have been designed in collaboration with professional tattoo artists to ensure they are as authentic as possible. The range is available in 2 skin color shades: 'nude' and 'dark' to suit different skin tones.

The Lili High Waisted Brief is a great place to start if you're new to the line. The waterlily tattoo design is both pretty and edgy, while the high waisted panties have some wonderful waist sculpting features built in that are functional yet comfortable.

The La Vie En Rose Bodysuit is an edgier option with it's revealing side panels and semi-sheer seamed cups. This piece can be mixed into outerwear outfits for a fun night out. The rose design has beautiful details and wraps around the side of your body.

The Marlene Bandeau Bodysuit has a lovely rose tattoo design mixed with draped mesh panels that are extra flattering. The whole bodysuit looks sophisticated and has a fun trompe l'oeil effect. It would pair perfectly with jeans or a skinny pencil skirt!

The Talitha Bodysuit sculpts the body and takes underwear to a new level. The innovative styling creates the illusion of tantalising cut out sections that wrap around the waist and hips. It features a dramatic back tattoo placement of chrysanthemuns that seductively entwine down the back. This style is a must-have!

Do tell us: What's your favorite design?

Neutral + Lace Lingerie

I’m pretty biased when it comes to lace. I’m pretty sure there are few things sexier than simple black lace, and when paired with a neutral I think the level of sophistication and timeless class is taken up a serious notch. The new Desiree Set by Oh la La Cheri Paris is seriously proving my point.

The neutral bra with the black lace overlay had me at first site. I love the ability to convert it to a strapless bra, which makes this a great item to bring with you on your travels! Color combinations like this can be worn year round, and I adore the scalloped edges and mesh rouched backing around the bikini panties. Perhaps one of my most favorite details of the entire collection, however, are the mini satin bows that delicately pull the whole set together. Here’s where you can find the pieces:

>> Desiree Bikini Panty by Oh La La Cheri Paris

So gorgeous, right?

Today we're showcasing the newest MarikaVera lingerie collection, which I've personally been looking forward to ever since I saw the preview photos several months ago. The collection is based loosely on Barbarella, 41st century astronaut and eternal sex symbol. The Queen of the Galaxy collection strips away the campy elements from the character and creates a minimalist version of the sexiest woman in outer space. Marika Vera's collections always focus heavily on raw feminine sensuality, so this is a perfect match.

Fuchsia dominates this collection, which is a bold take on the color palate of the late 60's. The Marika Vera LOU SilkCamisole and French Knickers set is a unexpected fusion of classic and mod. The cut of the panties highlights the floaty fuchsia and burgundy camisole, proving that everything old can be made new again.

The Marika Vera JUNE Silk Bra set shows some of the fabulous detail work that Marika Vera is so famous for. The tulle details and black metal fastenings give this set a sci-fi edge.

If you're still in love with the high waisted panty trend, you'll love the Marika Vera JUNE CULOTTE. The sheer panels and cut out sides make this pair of panties extra special. They're flattering and functional.

Marika Vera's robes have always been showstoppers, and her PHOEBE Silk Kimono Robe is no exception. The fuchsia silk satin is gorgeous, and the robe is cut to give discreet access to your erogenous zones.

Marika Vera also takes on the black and white classics this seasons, with new pieces that give a nod to old fashioned glamour while maintaining her edgy and sensual style. Her SELENE Silk ChiffonKimono Robe is a long sleeved version of her classic long gowns, while her SAGASilk Camisole and Short set would be perfect for a daring bride on her honeymoon. The Marika Vera SAM SUEDE Long Gown is a black suede version of her beautiful white SAM robe from last season. The black Marika Vera CAROLINE VELVET Bodysuit is perfect for all of your winter formal events or bedroom needs.

Are you a classic siren or an erotic explorer? Either way, the new Marika Vera collection has something for you.

It seems fitting to introduce the new Fashion Forms products a few days after the Emmy Awards, as I suspect that products like these were responsible for most of the anti-gravity fashion magic on display there. Sometimes you just need that perfect bra for a really spectacular neckline (and sometimes you have to resort to tape!). Fashion Forms provides all of these items and more for your next jaw dropping formalwear look.

If you're just looking for a little more coverage, Fashion Forms Reusable Breast Petals and their Full Figure Gel Petal are the places to start. These breast petals can be worn multiple times to give you a smooth line under your favorite silk dress or even under a thin sweater for extra security.

If you're struggling with what to wear underneath your favorite dress with a plunging neckline, Fashion Forms has lots of solutions for you. The Fashion Forms U-Plunge Backless Strapless bra keeps you supported and secure while clear adhesive wings wrap around your back. If you are getting married or going to a black tie party in the near future, this bra can be a lifesaver.

If you want to keep your back completely clear, try the Fashion Forms Extreme Silicone Adhesive Body Bra. This stick on bra will give you a clear plunge neckline all the way down to your belly button and all the way down your back to give you support underneath the most daring of dresses. Stick these on underneath your dress and channel your inner Hollywood actress!

If you're looking for a little more oomph in the cleavage department Fashion Forms has multiple solutions for you. If you're looking for a more flexible approach, try the Fashion Forms UltimateBoost Gel Boosting Bra. By adjusting the inside bra hooks, you can take your cleavage from office level appropriate to hot date appropriate in an instant. If you're looking for a lighter bra, you can try the Fashion Forms NuBraUltralite. This bra will give you a nice cleavage boost while the self-adhesive cups keep your back and shoulders strap free.

Lingerie Gorgeous Patterns

I have been noticing something magnificent going on the past few weeks at the Bella Bella Boutique. As new arrivals are making their way in to the store, they are filled with fantastic patterns that are making my heart swoon. As you all may well know, my day job as a graphic and web designer make me notice things like patterns, colors, shapes and textures right off the bat. It’s what draws me in, what makes my heart beat and what inspires me most. So the patterns flooding the store are what we are talking about today. And as you can see from below, we have so many things to talk about!

1 // Dirty Pretty Things Medusa Soft Cup Bra – This is one of the newer arrivals for Bella Bella Boutique, and I think it’s amazing. The snakeskin print with the pops of hot pink are just screaming to be worn out some place fabulous.

2 // Beautiful Bottoms Quartz Silk Short Robe – This animal print is one of my current favorites. I love the soft, sheerness of the fabric and the way it let’s the pattern do all of the talking.

3 // La Lilouche Delia Shawl Long Line Bralette and Cami – The combination of silk, lace embroidery and burgundy rose colors make this set to die for sexy, no?

4 // Maya Hansen Helsinki Corset – There are few things sexier than black lace and this corset does black lace good. With all the different textures of the lace, piping and fasteners, this is one steamy new addition.

5 // Dirty Pretty Things Cruella Fluro Set – I see spots! I am huge lover of polka dots and think this set is just adorable. So fun, flirty and sexy at the same time. Go for the dots!

6 // Beautiful Bottoms Sapphire Silk Playsuit – this brand always tugs at my heart with their fabulous prints. I am loving this playsuit for Fall – the dark base and pops of sapphire blue are so perfectly contrasted.

7 // La Lilouche Flo Set – I blogged about this awhile back, and I still am obsessing over this gorgeous floral print for Fall. The jewel tones and textures really do it for me – so many surprising details!

8 // Dirty Pretty Things Blossom Georgette Babydoll – this cherry blossom print is calling my name. So feminine and sweet, and the fabric just looks outrageously comfortable.

Ahh, so many patterns to choose from! Do you love to wear a good pattern or do you typically stick to the neutral, solid colors? If you do, I’m urging you to explore your inner wild child and try a pattern! It’s a wonderful way to express your personality through your lingerie, and I think you’ll become quickly addicted.

We're thrilled to have new treats from Dirty Pretty Things to offer today! Dirty Pretty Things is one of the few companies that really lives up to their name -- their pieces are gorgeous, offbeat, and have a slight raw edge to them. It doesn't hurt that this season that they're getting inspiration from some of my favorite sources: Disney movies, traditional Japanese blossom prints, and Greek mythology (my college major!).

Floral patterns that are inspired by traditional Asian artworks are all the rage this season, but this Blossom print is an especially nice rendition of the classic look. You can look flirty in the Blossom Georgette Babydoll or relax in the Blossom Silk Kimono and Blossom Skinny Thong. Don't tell anyone this came from me, but more fitted kimono robes also work well when thrown over a pair of jeans with cute flats when you don't want to change but desperately need milk from the store.

The Cruella line comes in both yellow and pink (or yellow and fluro), and is actually the second lingerie line inspired by 101 Dalmatians that I've seen in the past few years. Black and white spots are classic, but the florescent trim gives this line an edgier feel. Pick up a Cruella Padded Plunge Bra and a Cruella Suspender Knicker for a set that works perfectly as a basic or as special occasion wear.

The Medusa line fittingly features a full on snake print that is guaranteed to stop any Greek hero in his tracks. This line offers some edgy lounge pieces like the Medusa Babydoll and the Medusa Padded Thong Bodysuit which can also be worn as an outerwear.

Which line from Dirty Pretty Things is your favorite?

I’m always amazed that I don’t wear more floral pieces during the Fall. Somewhere along the years, we all started associating floral patterns for Spring and Summer whereas more abstract and solid patterns and colors became the trend for the Fall and Winter. As I was browsing through the current La Lilouche Collection, I noticed that the Flo set was so perfect for Fall and wanted it in my closet almost immediately.

Do you see how rich the colors are? Totally changed my perspective on wearing Floral patterns during the cooler months. The tones are still appropriate – more focused on the deep harvest hues of purples, pinks and golds rather then their more subtle sister tones which I would typically wear for Spring or Summer. Regardless of the time of year, I think this set is pretty perfect and it would be a missed opportunity to not wear it the entire month of October and November, no? Here’s where you can find the separate pieces:

>> La Lilouche Flo Soft Cup Bra

>> La Lilouche Flo High Waisted Brief

>> La Lilouche Flo Bikini Knicker

How do you feel about wearing floral patterns during the Fall?

I'm so glad it's finally September! Fall is my favorite fashion season because of all the intricate layers that you can create with different pieces of clothing. It seems fitting that we're talking about corsets today, since more and more women are making corsets part of both their underwear and outerwear wardrobes.

Maya Hansen corsets from Spain have been added to Bella Bella Boutique this week! Maya Hansen has spent the last several years racking up awards all over the world for her corsets. Fans of her work include Lady Gaga, who has worn several for red carpet events.

One of the great things about corsets is how many different ways they can be worn. Traditionally they are a boudoir item, especially when paired with traditional ruffled panties in a matching color. If you're looking for a corset for the bedroom, it's worth going all out in terms of color and fabric. This Maya Hansen Charlotte Corset in blue is a perfect example.

Corsets as formalwear have been around for years, but now we're seeing them more and more on the red carpet. A corset works as a sexier take on a blouse and can be paired with everything from a straight black silk or stain skirt to a fuller skirt in a matching color. If you're going for this look, either keep your corset or your skirt plain. You don't want them to fight with each other. This Maya Hansen Charlotte Corset in sand is a perfect choice for a formal evening out.

If you're not sure about wearing a corset out solo, you can try wearing one out over your favorite blouse or dress. This Maya Hansen Helsinki underbust corset will go with a wide range of outfits and can be worn with anything for an extra dash of style.

If you've never worn a corset before but are interested in trying one out, don't be intimidated! Feel free to email [info@bellabellaboutique.com] with questions about sizing or what corset would work best with your body type. For many people corsets are like potato chips -- you can't have just one.

The beginning of September is approaching (can you believe it?) and that means one thing is for sure – it’s time to embrace Fall and start transitioning over your wardrobe.

For me, I love accessorizing with bold statement pieces and fun prints (remember the cheetah print obsession?) But my go to pieces are always dark and rich in color to compliment my mood. Fall and Winter really brings out my love for dark colors and I can’t wait to whip out my black, brown and maroon pieces this Fall!

And while jackets, pants and boots seem to be only a few of the items on my mind, I can’t help swooning over darker shades of lingerie, robes, and boudoir gowns.

1 // Beautiful Bottoms Black Pearl Tunic with Stone Embellishment – This is probably my favorite piece in the group. It’s wildly sexy while still giving you coverage in all the right places.

2 // Rosa Silk & Lace Knicker by Sonata Lingerie – I love lace even more in the Fall, if that’s possible. I think the deep hues compliment the delicate details so perfectly.

3 // Ludique Catarina Bodysuit – I think this is a great staple to have for your lingerie as outerwear collection. Throw this on with a great pair of skinny jeans and a blazer, it’s the perfect Fall wardrobe necessity.

4 // La Lilouche Delia Silk Maxi Gown – This rich burgundy maxi gown is on my wish list. The stunning details are so very Grecian and the cut will only enhance your figure in all the right places.

5 // Beautiful Bottoms Jade Silk Playsuit – I adore this shade for Fall. It’s deep stone shade of green is a great choice for this playsuit.

6 // Beauty Lace Bra by Oh La La Cheri Paris – a gorgeous balconnet bra made of black lace? Yes, please and thank you.

See what I mean? Going bold with dark colors this Fall is totally possible. What are your go to favorite Autumn colors?

Xoxo,

We came across this cool new line of lingerie from Australia and wanted to share it with you. Light Years is a new boutique lingerie label designed to fill the gap between the traditional lingerie offerings of lacy, shiny sexed-up styles and utilitarian basics emblazoned with kiddie prints and giant logos. The Light Years girl craves fuss-free lingerie that is a natural extension of her own confidently cool, understated style. The styles remind us a bit of Zinke Intimates, another cool lingerie brand with a similar approach.

With pieces from the range doubling as outerwear, the Light Years offerings can work their way into daywear ensembles, or remain hidden for someone special.

Each garment is made from natural fibres with added stretch for great fit and comfort, making them ideal for everyday wear as well as dressing to impress.

Light Years is designed and made in Melbourne, Australia. To find out more about this lingerie label visit the official website here.
