VICTORIA'S SECRET SHOW 2014

No Comments »

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!

OOTD // HINT OF HALLOWEEN

No Comments »

As kids, Halloween was all about trick or treating and costumes were reasonably simple. As adults, it's a whole different ball game! The fashion stakes are high this year, with many designer labels - including Balmain - featuring black and leather heavily in their AW14 catwalk shows. This is perfect for those of you who aren't into dressing up nowadays, but still want to get in the spirit of the holiday.


Our Lola Black Jewel Necklace is feminine yet fierce, with floral inspiration with a bold monochrome twist. It's easy to wear, and chunky enough to make a statement. We've paired it with a slick leather skirt, black heels and a peplum top. A colour blocking top like the one we've chosen is perfect to break up the black and bring a subtle hint of colour. Plus, pastel pink is back again this season, so you'll be killing two trends with one outfit! We suggest adding a high shine black nail polish and dark smokey eye to complement your look. Remember - if you're wearing dramatic eye make up, it's often best to wear with a nude lip.

However you're celebrating this year, have a Happy Halloween from everyone at Adorning Ava HQ!

OOTD // GRUNGE GET UP

1 Comment »

We may not want to admit it, but autumn is here and this English sunshine won't last forever! As we roll into October the weather may begin to get a little dreary, but on the plus side you can pull your favourite black leather jacket out from the back of your wardrobe again. The grunge trend is back this year with chunky chains, statement rings and studded cuffs.


If you prefer to have a little colour in your look, our Miley Layered Chain Necklace is perfect, with three shades of metal - gold, gunmetal and silver.

For a true designer look, our classic YSL inspired Carmen Black Jewel Ring will carry you straight through AW14 and even into SS15. Monochrome is set to be a big trend next season, and the rich gold metal will help to glam up a simple white summer dress.
For SS14 we brought you our Mint Green Studded PVC Cuff  (which will carry through the pastel trend this season by the way!), and now we've got a beautiful black version for you with our Bianca Black Stud PVC Cuff.

For the perfect Gothic glam earrings, keep your eyes peeled for our new Black Jewel Earrings coming soon..
