As winter draws closer and the weather gets a little less warm, it's tempting to stuff your entire summer wardrobe in your attic and not leave your onesie for the next few months. But whatever you do, don't hide away your sunnies! Just because it's colder doesn't mean the sun isn't around. There are several reasons why you should dig out your sunglasses. Firstly, when the snow arrives it will reflect the UV rays, meaning you'll need to protect your eyes. Secondly, they will protect you from the wind and the dust it blows around. Plus, they're good to hide under after a hectic weekend!

In winter, it's best to stick to simple sunnies rather than bright summer colours or prints. Our Black Round Cat Eye Sunglasses - as worn by Megan from the Briar Rose blog - are easy to mix into any outfit with a quirky shape to help you stand out from the crowd. Hint: they're currently in our sale for only £4.99 so get yours before they're gone!

Fur capes were a bestseller this time last year, and they're back again in both soft and shaggy styles. We love this black cape as it features a pretty ribbon bow to add some embellishment to your neckline. Another item back with a bang is the riding style boot. They scream country style and will keep your toes toasty! Wear with classically printed thick houndstooth leggings and a layered effect top to complete the look.

For an extra bit of accessorising, our Ayla White Jewel Encrusted Bracelet is sure to sparkle in the sunlight! Paint your nails in a smooth shade of pastel - like this Models Own lilac nail polish - to introduce some colour with minimum effort.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

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!

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!

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.

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?

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!
