If you follow us on Facebook, you will know that we were crushing on classic cobalt last week!

It's bold, bright and looks great with a tan! It seems that it's one of the hottest colours to be seen in this SS15!

Anyone from the Kardashians to Reese Witherspoon have been spotted in some beautiful cobalt numbers this May. It is a colour that will suit any colouring, any hair tone and any size. If your not brave enough to go for the full attire, opt for a some cobalt accessories in the form heels, a clutch, jewellery or even a slick of cobalt eye liner!

For a twist on the classic cobalt, throw a clashing colour in such as orange for a 70's glam vibe.

Here at Adorning Ava, we are super excited that festival season is well and truly here!

 We've teamed a slouchy white tee with bobble detailing with a black maxi as our base for this look. You can use a plain tshirt, but we loved the subtle detailing on this top from Topshop. Gladiator sandals are back again this year but with a revamp. the buckles have been swapped for authentic roman like lace with a small heel. These are great to wear all throughout the summer, with jeans, dresses, shorts, whatever you like. We're pretty sure they will be reappearing in SS16 too, so grab a pair now. Wear a bag that's slouchy looking with little structure. The best way to create this is with a messenger bag. Accessorize has some great messengers in for Summer. we picked one with a soft fringing, but kept with the neutral colour scheme.

To really pull off this look, layer textured pendants. we went for The Macy Gold Pendant Tassel Necklace and The Iona Layered Jewel pendant. The Iona works great for this look, as there's one necklace acting as three. The Macy necklace is a statement necklace all on it's own, but just gives extra detailing. Wear it with The Arina Leaf Lobe earrings, which work a little bit like earcuffs but in a smaller scale. We love these at AA Headquarters, as they bring a certain amount of quirkiness to an outfit.

To complete your look, you might want to go for some extra hair accessories. Opt for a chained head-dress instead of flowers or feathers. Finish with a lip moisture balm to keep your lips looking smooth and lush!

It's that time of year again... Mid Season Sale! This season has some brilliant bargains to be snatched on the high street. The trick, is to look for discounted pieces that can transition nicely into high Summer.

Here at Adorning Ava, our Mid season sale is well and truly in swing with new lines added this week! Here are a few monochrome pieces we are mad about that will make any outfit a statement!

There's jewellery to compliment any trend this season and up to 60% off, Shop the SALE now to save disappointment! 

Bohemian works best if you keep the colour palette in earthy tones. Beige's, tans, burnt oranges and browns work the best as they blend.



When we think of the Boho trend, we automatically think billowing maxis, but at this time of year, it's not quite warm enough to start parading round in a floaty almost night dress. Instead, we've gone for a weathered ripped jean in a washed out blue, paired with a textured cream bardot top, finished with ruffled sleeves and hem. This trend is all about mixing different textures but keeping colours similar. The air still has a chill to it, even if the sun is shining, so we've gone for a cream loose knit cardigan from Hollister (£14) with a drop hem, creating a billowy effect. Swap this for a kimono as the season progresses. The high street is full of bohemian style sandals, but if you're not quite ready to get out your toes yet, stick to a suede ankle boot, complete with buckles and fringing to add extra detail to your look. To match the boots, we've gone for a soft fringed bucket bag from Zara. With this trend, add as much accessories to your outfit as you want, layering pieces up for texture. Our Amara Layered Bead Bracelet is perfect for this. It's actually one bracelet but gives the impression of several. The colours on the bracelet complement the look perfectly. We've gone for The Macy Gold Pendant Tassel Necklace  to tie in with the fringing.



Add these pieces above as well to the outfit to really nail the look. Usually less is more, but to be a bohemian beauty, more is definitely more!!!

Finish the look with a natural wave in your hair using a tousled texture mist and adding random braids to your hair. Complete with a beaded head piece to really bring out the quirky queen in you.

With Spring almost upon us, the SS15 70s trends is in full swing with an array of colours textures and patterns headlining the high street. We feel like we've entered a time warp surrounded by fringing, flares and flower power. This trend is a lot of fun but it is easy to get carried away with all those patterns and colours. To nail this trend without looking like you're off to 70s roller disco, keep the palette neutral.

For a sophisticated and classic twist on the 70s trend, we have gone for gold and cream tones, which blend well and can be used as a canvas for other major trends this season. Floral are huge for 70s, so it's no surprise that we love this camel coloured shift dress adorned in a daisy print from Topshop. We've paired it with this beautiful fluid take on a trench coat also from Topshop, online only. Trench coats are a classic piece that every girl should have hung in their wardrobe.

We've gone for a nude slingback boot heel,keeping the whole style looking chic without having to wear stiletto slingbacks. These are much more wearable and won't give you blisters after a busy day of strutting your stuff. The gold zip just adds a bit of extra detail and contemporary feel to the trend. Every girl needs an over sized bag for the day to fit all her girly products. we've picked this lovely mock croc tan bag from River Island.

With this trend, you can afford to go bohemian with your jewellery. Long earrings and long pendants. The Macy Gold Tassel Earrings and the Macy Gold Pendant Tassel Necklace work great with this outfit. It gives a bit of character and enhances the whole 70s vibe by adding texture on texture. The best part is that when Summer eventually arrives, they can be worn for a boho feel to a summer maxi or as a staple piece for a music festival.

 In regards to beauty, keep the tones bronzed and light. The urban decay Naked palette has to be every girls favourite eye shadows for this. Paint your nails in a similar hue. if you're feeling inventive, try adding a bit of nail art too for a fun finish to your look!
