SNEAK PEEK// High Summer!

We are very excited about some new exclusive pieces landing at Adorning Ava very soon. In fact, we are so excited, we thought we'd share a few of our favorites with you. We will be adding new pieces to the collection throughout the Summer months, so keep following us on Facebook,for updates on when they land.

1. The Jamiya Statement Woven Jewel Necklace!

The Jamiya is just the ultimate statement necklace for Summer. It is guaranteed to turn heads and glam up any garment you throw on. It will definitely be on the top of the packing list for our Summer holiday.

2. The Jamiya Woven Jewel Spike Earrings!

The Jamiya Earrings have a similar feel to the necklace above, with rich colours and embellished with jewels, crystals and edgy spikes. These are a definite must have this season. If you have short hair, there is no excuse. You have to have this ear candy!!!

It's all about statement pieces this season with cultural influences. Textures, colour and textiles are big and will make the simplest of outfits individual and effortlessly stylish.

You haven't got long to wait ladies before you can have these beautiful pieces to be the ultimate statement stylista!

OOTD// BBQ Beauty

A three day weekend is the best excuse for a BBQ or even better going to one, as it saves you doing the hosting. But when it comes to what to wear, it's always an awkward one. The weathers pretty unpredictable and then there's how dressy do you go.

Play it safe with a floral print dress. We went for a gypsy style with chunky straps for a playful, yet 70's vibe. It is supposedly Summer, so be brave and go for bare legs with a pair of chunky peep toe clogs. If it's cold, you can always opt for leggings and tan boots instead, as the dress is versatile.

We have chosen loose fringed kimono to drape over the top of the dress. It's a little bit of extra warmth and again if it is really cold, pair the dress with a knit kimono instead. For a little bit of extra detail wear a waist belt to cinch in your waist and to pull in the kimono. To add characted the outfit, try wearing a hat. We love the black trim fedora from Topshop. It works great with any outfit and pulls the whole attire together.

Last but definitely not least, opt for a pendant instead of a collar. The Alani Layered Clear Bead Necklace works great to give the outfit some well needed texture. Match it with The Amara Layered Bead Chain Bracelet for some colour and again extra texture.

We've sorted out what you're wearing.... you're on your own with the Barbecuing!

OOTD/ May day

It only feels like last week when we were planning the Easter bank holiday and now May Day is nearly upon us. We're not complaining, everyone loves a long weekend.

We've been really lucky this month, not an April shower in sight, so it's time to embrace the weather this bank holiday and we've got the perfect May Day outfit to suit every weekend plan.

We are still in LOVE with the Monochrome trend for Summer, but we have played with the patterns and textures to create a summery version. The wide leg culottes are from Topshop. Topshop never let us down with the beautiful patterns for every season, this one no exception, with an overlapping busy floral print. We teamed it with a cotton scalloped textured tank. It's the perfect length, as you can tuck into the culottes or wear it loose over the top if you're having a lot to eat and drink. The scalloping softens the look.

It's time to dig out your sandals and cut out shoes. We went for a patent sandal version of a school shoe. The buckles and patent finish bring a bit of formality to the outfit, but still able to show a bit of flesh. This black leather rucky is great for a day out to pack all your essentials in. It's very versatile as it has a small strap, so it can be held as a handbag too.

When picking jewellery for this outfit, we were stuck for choice, as The Adorning Ava Monochrome Trend has such strong pieces this season. In the end, we decided on The Kyla Black Jewel Rope Necklace, as it's sets off the outfit perfectly. The design of the necklace is almost made to wear with the culottes. We chose The Leila Monochrome Hoop Earrings. The hoops bring of extra detail to the outfit. Don't forget, the sun is out so your outfit isn't complete without a pair of shades. The Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses are one of our fave pairs at AAHQ. They make any outfit look stylish.

Don't forget, it is England, so make sure you've packed you pocket umbrella. Those April showers have a way of creeping into May. For a Summery fresh look, keep your make up simple with a quick flick of eye liner and a clear lipgloss.

OOTD // PHILLIP LIM STYLE STEAL

In case we hadn't already made it abundantly clear, we absolutely adore the monochrome trend this season! Phillip Lim certainly didn't fail to impress us with his SS15 collection, mixing crisp whites with blocks of black, slashed shapes and nude accessories. We're here to show you how you can recreate one of his runway looks at a fraction of the cost, with a little added sparkle courtesy of Adorning Ava.

The make up artists for the Phillip Lim show kept faces fresh, with nothing but some light contouring, a hint of eye definition and some serious brows. The Sleek Brow Kit is a copy of the Benefit Brow Zings set, and a bargain at only £8.50! You can order it online or in Boots, but it's constantly selling out, so be sure to stock up if you manage to spot it. Throw your hair up in a messy bun and don't worry about any hairspray - set your wispy hairs free for this look.

Since you're sticking to minimal make up, you can really go to town with your jewellery. Our Abby Statement Monochrome Jewel Collar blends in perfectly to the monochrome trend and will complement your colour block look perfectly. At less than £20 for such a statement piece, you can't go wrong!

Although we love this designer ensemble, not all of us can handle baring quite that much stomach so soon after Christmas. We found this Lovers + Friends crop trop with a less extreme cut out to show just a hint of skin. Pair it with this unique asymmetric hem block monochrome skirt from Sheinside for an almost exact match.

Just because we're heading into better weather doesn't mean you can't get out your favourite black leather jacket. With this barely there outfit, you'll feel cold from even the slightest breeze, so be sure to layer up a little. We love this Noisy May number with a zip all the way up to the neck, so you can decide exactly how covered or uncovered you want to be.

Gladiator sandals are set to make a return this season, but for a more feminine take on the trend, try a pair of lace up sandal heels - like these Stuart Weitzman beauties - with ankle detail and a soft nude colour. Add a matching nude handbag, such as this Faith piece, with a choice of strap lengths and boxy shape to finish off your style steal.

NYFW // INTRODUCING AW15

The models have left the Big Apple after strutting their stuff down the runways for some of the world's hottest designers. As New York Fashion Week comes to an end, it's time to analyse the shows and check out what we can expect to see in AW15. We're here to give you the run down from this year's showstopping catwalks!

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

If you grew up in the '90s watching all the classic animated movies, you're sure to have had an Anastasia obsession at some point. For AW15, the Russian doll theme is very much upon us, with rich jewel tones and glistening gold embellishments contrasting against black and white backdrops. This was one of the most commonly seen trends at NYFW, with the majority of the designers taking some inspiration. If there's one fashion bandwagon you should be jumping on this autumn/winter, it's definitely this one!

NOMADIC

Winter is all about wrapping up, and with all the snow we've had this season you can guarantee we'll be seeing more of it next year! Designer legends like Anna Sui donned their models in suede eskimo style boots and fur trimmed outerwear for a nomadic feel. Think neutral tones with splashes of wine red and steel blue for a modern twist on a classic winter theme.

ROYALTY

We've already seen hints of jewel tones through the 'From Russia With Love' and 'Nomadic' trends, but some designers went one step further and dressed their models in head-to-toe bold colour. Fur outerwear and gold have also been worked into this regal trend - think Queen Victoria or the House of Tudor. There's nothing too over the top for this look; adorn yourself as much as you can and don't hold back!

ICE PRINCESS

This winter, expect to see lashings of embellishment over snowy shades of sheer chiffon and mesh. Many of the designers at NYFW modelled their entire collection on this theme, with intricate beading and flowing trains being a heavy focus. Marchesa's collection in particular had a strong ethereal style, with this powdery grey-blue tiered chiffon dress being an absolute showstopper. The Frozen hype is very much still with us, so don't be afraid to rock this ice princess look!

Stay tuned for our next AW15 run down next week with all the best from London Fashion Week!

OOTD // EFFORTLESS IN EMERALD

You've loved our Esther Emerald Jewel Collar and we've had to restock it more times than we can count, so we thought it was about time we did an OOTD post on it for you! We've pulled together a look that you can wear day or night, all year round, and still look glam.

Emerald looks great with any natural hair colour, so no matter what your look you can style this colour with ease! We love this emerald chiffon maxi skirt - long enough for winter but lightweight enough for summer too. Wear it with a simple black crop top, or tuck a black t shirt into the skirt if the thought of baring a little midriff after Christmas terrifies you! This Alexander McQueen crossover crop is to die for, but as SS15 pieces start to drop over the next few weeks you can be sure to find a cheaper high street version soon.

Chunky black Chelsea boots are great for taking you from day to night, as they'll add a little height for the evening but still be comfortable enough to wear all day. These New Look boots are a bargain at £29.99!

For the day, wear with a classic black tote bag. For the night, bring out the metallic in your Esther necklace by carrying a gold box clutch. This structured hexagonal bag by Accessoryo is anything but ordinary and will compliment your necklace perfectly.

Beauty-wise, coat your nails in a classic high shien black nail polish, and apply a colour popping coat of deep burgundy lipstick for a striking look in a matter of minutes.

OOTD // NYE SHOWSTOPPER

As 2014 comes to and end (we can't believe how quickly it flew by either!), it's time to celebrate one of if not the biggest party nights of the year. If Christmas didn't seem like a big enough excuse for you to adorn yourself, New Year's Eve is definitely an excuse! Because if you can't go all out on NYE, when can you? Mind your eyes - this Outfit Of The Day so sparkly it's bound to blind you!

Sequin dresses are a NYE classic. We love this Boohoo number with iridescent pink sequins and 3/4 length sleeves - a change from the usual black sequin dresses you see most years. Our Sophia Pastel Pink Beaded Earrings are a perfect match for this dress, with matte nude beads and sparkling clear crystals. They'll add a touch more sparkle to your outfit without overdoing it.

Don't be afraid to keep the shine going throughout your whole outfit for NYE, but rather than adorning yourself in full on glitz from head to toe, opt for muted metallics. These ankle strapped silver heels from ASOS and Warehouse clutch will add a little more shine without making you look a little too Vegas showgirl. If just a pair of earrings isn't enough accessorising for you, our Miley Chunky Chain Cuff is sure to toughen up your look. Add some matte pink lippy and metallic silver nail polish to pull the whole look together!

Happy New Year everyone!

OOTD // LIPSY LOVE

You may have heard by now that our jewellery is also stocked online with Lipsy. Here in the office we're a big fan of the brand, particularly their range with Corrie's Michelle Keegan! We've had a nosy at their current collection and pulled together the perfect outfit for your Christmas Eve or Boxing Day drinks.

We love a good pair of black leggings - they're a little smarter than jeans and much more comfortable. These PU Biker Leggings are super slick and will instantly take a simple top from drab to fab. The stitched detailing on the knees sets them apart from your usual run-of-the-mill wet look leggings and will most definitely give your outfit an edgy feel.

Michelle Keegan's range features a selection of tops for any occasion, from camis, to peplums, to blouses. This Racer Cami in champagne gold is easy to throw on but will provide you with an instantly glam look. The strappy back makes it perfect for the heat of summer, but it also looks great with a fluffy fur coat for winter!

It seems the leather look is one of Michelle's go to styles, as she's also added this sleek PU Sleeve Fur Coat to her collection! It'll match perfectly with any ensemble whilst still keeping you wrapped up over the winter months. We love the quilted effect on the cuffs!

Blue has been a huge colour trend this season, and it gives a royal effect when mixed with gold. Our Sadie Navy Leather Jewel Bracelet can be wrapped round as few or as many times as you like, with an adjustable buckle to keep it in place. The gold settings around the crystals will match up with your gold cami top, and add some extra shine.

Our Nia Jewel Drop Earrings will complete your whole look, tying in with the colour of each garment and your blue leather bracelet. They're lightweight, so no need to worry about your ear lobes getting weighed down! Best of all? You can get both pieces for £15 all in!

Every shoe lover has their favourite pair of trusty black heels. Make these amazing Lipsy peep toe Monica Shoe Boot Heels your new staple pair - the perfect cross between a dressy stiletto and classic boot. They'll work well with trousers or a dress, so you can wear them for years to come!

For the final touch, add a shimmering nude shade nail polish to tone with your top, like this Vanilla colour from Mavala. If you fancy going that extra mile, sultry smoky black eye with a hint of blue or gold will really glam you up!

We hope you all have an amazing Christmas, and don't forget to head over to our social media pages for your final chance to win our HUGE £150 giveaway! We'll be announcing the winner on Christmas day!

Merry Christmas!

OOTD // CHRISTMAS SPARKLES

It's official - there's only ten more sleeps until it's CHRISTMAS! We're all getting in the festive spirit here in the office, especially since we've had a couple of Christmassy pieces delivered. Today's post shows you how to sparkle in style this party season and add a dash of festivity to your outfit without looking too cheesy!

Channel your inner 1920s girl with this amazing gunmetal sequin dress with Ostrich feather detailing from Topshop - the perfect combination of sassy and classy! We've matched it up with a statement snakeskin New Look clutch and fierce Topshop strappy heels to take your outfit to the next level.

You can't go far wrong with red at Christmas, but bright red lippy can be tricky to pull off. No matter what your complexion or hair colour, try a dark burgundy shade for a sure fire beauty winner. For nails, we recommend either matching them to your lippy with a deep red, or a metallic black for some added shimmer.

Christmas is the best time of the year if you love accessorising like we do. There's no such thing as over-accessorising at Christmas, so stack your bracelets high and adorn your ears with some winter jewels! Our Ayla White Jewel Encrusted Bracelet is to die for, with brilliant clear crystals and a milky white centre stone. But our office favourite right now has to be our Crystal Snowflake Earrings! They're festive yet still stylish, and as the gems are just clear, they can be worked into any outfit. At just £5 a pair, you could even order some for your office Secret Santa gift!

In the run up to Christmas day, from now until December 24th we'll be running a series of last minute offers just for you! There will be a new one each day, with each offer expiring the same day it's released, so keep your eyes peeled on our social media pages!

Our first offer has already been revealed - 25% off today between 7-9pm only with discount code 1025!!

Happy shopping everyone!

OOTD // FOR THE LOVE OF LEATHER

Whether you prefer real or faux, no wardrobe is complete without a bit a leather. Celebrities such as the Kardashians are often pictured wearing multiple leather pieces. We're here to show you how you can work the look too!

First things first, every girl should own a leather jacket. They can take almost any outfit from drab to fab, and you can accessorize with a fur collar in the colder months. Black leather boots are a must too, as they're versatile and help add height with a chunky heel that's easy to wear all day long!

A black leather tee will give any outfit a slick style. Look out for one which is slightly loose with mesh inserts so you don't get too hot! Wear with either leather leggings or a leather skirt, but don't be afraid to add some colour. A pastel leather skirt - like this powder blue beauty - will instantly make you stand out from the crowd. We love the zip detail on this one, plus it's high waisted to give you some curves.

As the head-to-toe leather look can be a little intense, keep accessories to a minimum. Our Talia Pearl Front & Back Earrings and Sadie Black Leather Jewel Bracelet are to die for, but delicate enough not to outshine the rest of your ensemble. Add a classic nude lip and dreamy powder blue nail polish as a finishing touch.

OOTD // JUST RIGHT JUMPSUIT

If you're off on a night out this weekend and dread the thought of wearing a dress in the cold autumn weather but still want to glam up, a jumpsuit is a happy medium! We're here to show you how you can easily turn a simple black jumpsuit into something extra special.

No matter what your body type, a black jumpsuit with a nipped in waist will suit you perfectly. We love this one as it already has some slight embellishment to the bust, but if you'd rather have something with sleeves, your accessories can play a big part in taking your jumpsuit from plain Jane to showstopper in a matter of moments!

Our Rayna Powder Blue Jewel Necklace features colour popping cobalt - one of this season's hottest colours - with plenty of embellishment to add a little glitz to your outfit. Wear it with a matching powder blue blazer and bright blue nails to create a well put together look with little effort.

Gold is always a festive favourite. We adore these River Island heels as they're the perfect mix of simple and statement, with a laser cut ankle strap. Pair with a mini gold box clutch and you're ready to take the night by storm!

Only one more sleep until it's officially the weekend - have a good one girls!

VICTORIA'S SECRET SHOW 2014

The model line up for the next Victoria's Secret show has now officially been revealed! Alongside the Angels (Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosia, Karlie Kloss, etc.), up and coming models such as Imaan Hammam, Devon Windsor and Jourdan Dunn will all take to the catwalk in some of the most amazingly outrageous lingerie you could ever imagine. London plays host to this year's show on December 9th, with the Angels expected to make several special appearances round the city on the days surrounding.

In honour of the recent reveal of the new Fantasy Bras (yes there are TWO this year!), valued at an astonishing $2 million each, we show you our top 5 jewel encrusted pieces to help you add some sparkle to your ensemble this festive season!

PEARL PIECE

White never goes out of season, with it making an appearance at every seasonal show each year. The focus this season is primarily on pearls, and our Ayla White Pearl & Jewel Encrusted Necklace couldn't be any more perfect. With lashings of embellishments, this statement piece is sure to carry you through from season to season for years to come!

MULTICOLOURED MARVEL

If you're a little daring and love to add a burst of colour to your wardrobe, our Stella Colourful Jewel Collar is right up your street! Featuring layers upon layers of jewels in a variety of colours, this necklace is easy to match up with almost any colour and is sure to give your outfit a bit of oomph this season.

EMERALD EMBELLISHMENT

Jewel colours - particularly emerald - are always sure to put you in the festive mood. We adore our Lily Emerald & Pink Jewel Necklace! A bargain at just £14 for such a statement piece, with a chunky gunmetal chain to add a hint of grunge.

ORNAMENTAL ORANGE

Another pearl encrusted piece, our heavily embellished Lydia Jewel Encrusted Collar is super chunky. Plus, with orange expected to be a key colour for SS15, it makes a great transitional piece for all you savvy shoppers! We think it looks great with just a simple white t-shirt to take you from day to night in a flash.

IN THE NAVY

Featured recently in You magazine, our Alexa Navy Jewel Rope Necklace is definitely an HQ favourite! With iridescent jewels and pastel pink beads to soften the darkness, it's both girly and gothic. See our HOW TO STYLE // The Navy Trend blog post to find out how you can easily wear this statement necklace!

We can't wait to see what the Victoria's Secret show has to offer - keep an eye out for our rundown of the show before Christmas!

- Ella x

OOTD // CHUNKY KNITS & CHECKED PRINTS

The cosy look is definitely in this season, which is great because it is freeeezing! With chunky knits and check prints both featuring heavily on the AW14 Ready-To-Wear catwalk, we show you how to rock the British heritage look with style.

Our Lucia Jewel Drop Earrings are so versatile - a mix of amber, sapphire and ruby; glam enough to make a statement but small enough that they're not too much to wear in the day too. They're an absolute steal at just £8! We've paired them with our Sadie Black Leather Jewel Bracelet to add a little more soft glam and help add to the layered effect of the whole outfit.

If you go for a classic bright red check scarf like us, try to keep your chunky knits neutral. We love this beige cocoon cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves! For an added extra bit of coziness, look out for a knitted beanie hat - we adore this fur pom pom hat in matching neutral tones.

Timberland boots have always been a British heritage staple, but they've made a huge comeback this year. Not only are they on trend, but they're also very practical and will last for years, so it's definitely worth the investment. Wear with your favourite blue skinnies and trusty white tee to complete the look.

HOW TO STYLE // THE NAVY TREND

Navy seems to be everywhere this season, with Cheap Monday and Temperley London both featuring the blue hue throughout their AW14 catwalk collections, but navy can seem a little daunting to style. Previously, mixing black and navy has been deemed as one of the ultimate fashion no-no's, like wearing pink and red together, making it difficult to know what colours to wear navy with. However this year, the tables have turned and every other designer was seen showing how to style the colours together effortlessly. We're here to show you how you can do the same!

If you're not quite ready for wearing all black and navy, breaking up the colours with other monochromatic shades is a good way to ease yourself into the trend. Adding hints of navy through your make up and accessories will be sure to keep you on trend and add muted pop of colour into any outfit, day or night. We've styled our Lena Navy Floral Jewel Collar - a steal at just £14 - with nail polish to match. Try matte polish for the day, or metallic for the night!

Every girl should own a crisp white shirt, whether you wear them for work or play. We love the embellished collar on this shirt to help add even more sparkle to your neckline. If you want to recreate the same look, why not try taking an old piece of jewellery and applying it to the collar of one of your old shirts?

Black leggings are another must have item for any wardrobe, particularly in the autumn/winter season. Purchase thick pairs (think jeggings style) that will not only keep you warm across the winter months, but also flatter any figure. If you'd prefer something a little different, look out for pairs with quilted, snakeskin or mesh inserts like the ones we've chosen.

Fur gilets are perfect for autumn/winter - both a statement garment and sure to keep you cosy! Pick one up in grey for a versatile piece of outerwear. We also adore these grey Vans slip ons; they're so easy to wear - not as casual as lace ups and simple to dress up. Add a classic black leather bag and your favourite silver watch to complete the look. We know we'll be rocking the navy trend with pride this season!

OOTD // COCKTAILS & COSTUME JEWELLERY

After a long week at work, the idea of getting all dressed up for cocktails on a Friday can seem a little daunting, especially if you're pushed for time. If you're stuck for ideas, Adorning Ava HQ are here to help! Today we show you how to take your work wardrobe from day to night in a flash and still look glam.

White and pastels are back for winter, with the latter being more dusky than the bright pastels of SS14. These printed pastel trousers are the perfect tailored pair for work, with a pattern that's not too loud for work but will still give your outfit a little extra oomph when you're out on the town. We've added some white mid-heels with a bang on trend collarless blazer to match, and a simple navy cami top - another colour you'll be seeing a lot of this season. Nude nails go with pretty much anything and will tone with your trousers.

Now for the accessories - our Lexi Clear Perspex Jewel Necklace mixes some of this season's key colours with chunky pieces of perspex to add some modernity. So, when your work day is over, put on your statement necklace and embellished bag to give your workwear an instant dressy feel.

Stay tuned for our next blog on Saturday!

HOW TO WEAR // STATEMENT EARRINGS

We've been wearing earrings for hundreds of years - even Tutankhamun had his ears pierced! But that doesn't make it any easier to work out how to wear different shapes and styles. From studs to chandeliers, identifying your face shape can help you know which earrings you can wear best, just like it affects the type of hairstyles you'll be best suited to. If you're still confused don't worry; Adorning Ava HQ are here to help!

OVAL

If you have an oval face, then you're in earring heaven! Oval faces are versatile to practically all styles, although soft shapes tend to work better than geometric. When wearing longer pieces, try to pick a pair with a little width to them to complement your face shape. Our Aurea Oversize Pastel Jewel Earrings are perfect, mixing both length and width with both soft and geometric shapes combined.

ROUND

For those of you with round faces, short earrings such as chunky studs can sometimes work against you. Long, dangle earrings however will help to elongate the face and enhance your cheekbones. Who'd have thought earrings could give you a face lift!? Unlike oval faces however, you should stick to styles which have more length than width. Why not try our Multi Jewel Chandelier Earrings to glam up your outfit on your next night out?

HEART

Celebrities with heart-shaped faces include Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars and Taylor Swift, so if you've got one too you can count yourself to be in good company! With structured jawlines and pointed chins, earrings which are wider at the bottom than at the top will help to balance out your face shape and draw attention to your eyes. Slender at the top and chunky at the bottom, our Ava Vintage Jewel Earrings are a perfect match for your face, and they're gorgeous!

SQUARE

If you have a strong jawline and structured cheekbones, you share the same face shape as Angelina Jolie. Square faces can be softened with hoop earrings and round shapes, with a medium to long length. We adore these Zaria Pearl Hoop Earrings - the perfect length with plenty of embellishment!

NARROW

Narrow or oblong faces are best suited to a lot of volume when it comes to hairstyles, and the same goes for earrings. Wearing heavily embellished short dangle earrings will draw attention to the eyes and make your face look less narrow. Our Nina Pastel Jewel Earrings are the perfect pastel shade for this season and will balance out your facial features well.

DIAMOND

Ashley Greene and Vanessa Hudgens both have diamond-shaped faces - cheekbones are the widest part of the face, with a pointed chin and a forehead that tapers at the hairline. If this sounds like a match for you, earrings with more width than length will complement your shape. Short but chunky studs, like our Bright Jewel Cluster Earrings, will look stunning on you and help to enhance your cheekbones.
