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.

White is one of the ultimate summer colours every year, which is ideal since it goes with near enough every other colour under the sun! Every wardrobe should have a plain white dress in it somewhere, and we think this River Island strappy high neck mini is a great example. The embellished collar means there's no need for a necklace and you can focus purely on finding the perfect earrings to wear it with!

Whether you're dressing for day or night, a white dress will look great with a pair of black shoes, like these Kurt Geiger gladiator sandals or embellished heels. Plus, monochrome is another of SS15's key colour combos, so you can kill two trends with one outfit! Wear with your favourite black bag - we love this snakeskin effect black wrist strap clutch from Topshop for a little more texture.

Our Heidi Pastel Pink Jewel Earrings are seriously oversized and are sure to make a statement. The sweet candy pink colour of the main beads will definitely keep the attention on you, plus they'll compliment your sunkissed tan!

Natural, glowing skin is a big beauty trend in SS15, so don't over do your make up - just add lashings of mascara for some added length and definition. Give your look an extra splash of colour with a couple of coats of vibrant pink nail polish.

The Adorning Ava SS15 exclusive preview will be here soon, so keep an eye out on our blog and social media pages to see it first!

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!

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!

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!

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.
