OOTD // CHUNKY KNITS & CHECKED PRINTS

No Comments »



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 WEAR // STATEMENT EARRINGS

No Comments »


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.

OOTD // AUTUMNAL ACCESORIES

No Comments »

This season, it's all about making a statement, from necklaces adorned in iridescent gems and jewels to oversize chunky chains. It is very easy to style these beautiful accessories as evening wear, but how do you wear them during your normal daytime routine without looking like your off to the nearest cocktail bar?  It's simple... keep it simple!




Featured above is the newest piece to our AW14 collection, The Estelle Black Jewel Necklace.

To incorporate this into your daytime wear, keep it simple with a basic tee. If your brave, wear it cropped with a slight rift for an edgy casual feel. Pair it with a full pleated midi, whether in a sheer fabric or thick leather. We've gone for a shimmery wine coloured midi to give the outfit a real autumnal feel. Finish your look with a messenger bag and a pair of wedged boots. Wedges are great to keep your outfit chic but still in-keeping with the daytime. A leather messenger is perfect for the daytime and easily worn. Match your lippy and polish to a shade that you're wearing, in this case a plum/wine hue. This will pull together your whole look, creating a casual daytime outfit with a feel of statement sass!
