OOTD// BBQ Beauty

No Comments »

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 // PASTEL PREVIEW

No Comments »


Pastels are a common recurrence every season, with candy shades appearing across stores each spring/summer, and muted dusky tones for autumn/winter. SS15 is no different, with designers such as Timo Weiland, Valentino and Badgley Mischka all hopping on the pastel colour trend. Our next lot of exclusive designs will be landing on our website in early March, but if you can't wait that long we've got a sneak peek for you today!


Peach has to be one of our favourite summer colours. It works wonders for your complexion, no matter what your skin tone, giving you a dewy glow. Our Jania Floral Jewel Necklace packs a peachy punch with hints of lemon yellow and mint green to create a contrast. We love how the chunky gold chain offsets against the pretty jewels to give your neckline some edge.

We found this super feminine peach sheer textured midi skirt from River Island as a perfect colour match, to take you from garden party to evening cocktails by the beach! Bardot style tops aren't expected to fall off the fashion radar any time soon, so be sure to snatch up this pale yellow ribbed crop from New Look. Keep your shoes simple, like these white heeled sandals with gold buckle detail from River Island. They won't overpower the rest of your ensemble, but the gold detail will tie them in effortlessly.

To make your skin glow even more, complement your tan with a light gold eyeliner to accent the inner corners of your eyes - it'll also make them appear bigger and brighter! Highlight your cheekbones with a multi-tonal bronzer that has a slight shimmer to it, and brush on a classic light nude nail polish to complete the look.

Keep your eyes peeled on our website for new styles - we've got plenty more landing with us over the next few weeks!

OOTD // STATEMENT FLORALS

No Comments »

Every year we see florals on the Spring/Summer catwalks, but this year they're back with a bang. Unlike the dainty pastel florals of SS13, this season designers have produced garments with bright, bold, oversized prints and embellishments, with Mary Katrantzou even taking a 3D approach to her floral blooms.


But if head to toe prints aren't your thing, we've got your floral fix with our statement necklaces and earrings. Try mixing bold accessories with a hint of print for a more everyday look.


Here at Adorning Ava HQ we can't get enough of the bold floral trend! Whether you're after colour popping stud earrings, a chunky bracelet or a heavily embellished statement necklace, we've got a range of jewellery to keep you in style.


Head over to www.adorningava.com to get the full range - plus you can use discount code FREEUKPP to get free delivery on orders over £20!

OOTD // COLOUR POP COBALT

No Comments »

It's summer, and you're heading out for dinner with the girls - but with this unpredictable British weather what the heck do you wear?! Do you dare to step out in a dress and hope the rain stays away, or play it safe with skinny jeans? Whichever you choose, we've got it covered with our Lola Cobalt & Teal Jewel Necklace and Mint Leather Jewel Bracelet to style up your summer nights look.


Every girl should invest in a pair of pastel pink jeans - pastel shades feature almost every season and can be worked into any wardrobe. For a smart yet stylish look, we've paired our colour popping necklace and bracelet with a crisp white blazer and clutch, matching teal cami top and cobalt sandals.


White is another colour which can be carried through all seasons simply by changing your accessories. In spring/summer, pair with some strappy heels and a brightly coloured clutch; in autumn/winter, bring out your dark side with some black jewels, an on trend oxblood bag and some shoes to match.

So whether you prefer classic skinnies or a summery white dress, don't forget to adorn yourself with some matching jewellery and give your outfit that 'wow' factor!

In our last post we brought you Megan McMinn's Summer Lookbook vlog, but it seems she's not our only blogger fan this season! Jill Gourlay of I Wear My Wages featured our Geometric Tortoise Shell Sunglasses and Mint Green Floral Jewel Necklace in her Summer Selection post.





Jill says she loves how the light really enhances the colour of these sunnies - perfect to update any summer look. And we agree with her that this necklace should be worn with something simple, as it's powerful enough to turn an average LBD into something extra special, taking you straight from day to night!
