OOTD/ Brighten up your basics

No Comments »

It's really easy to forget about the brights trend this season and go for trends that are easy to pull off. A lot of people are scared bright colours, but it's actually really easy to apply to your wardrobe.

To show you how easy it is, have a look at our OOTD!






We took a simple pair of blue denim jeans and a basic white tee and turned it into a chic bright outfit. Pair you basic outfit with a jacket or coat. We went for a nude relaxed drape coat from River Island. It's thin, so you're not goign to boil up if the sun decides to make an appearance. Nude is a classic colour that never ages. It's our go to item to style up any outfit. Add a pair of light coloured heels. We went for a dusky pink. You could wear a bright pair, but we want the accessories to do the talking, so kept it quite subtle. 

Now this is the bit where you can go crazy with your colour. The Jewel Cluster Earrings are perfect this look, combing bright hues with pastel shades. They're a real statement, so make sure you wear your hair off your face to get the most effect. We teamed these beauties with the sleek Mint Geometric Collar just to lift that white tee. 

Finish your look with a bright lipstick. We matched the shade of pink to the cluster earrings just to tie in with the outfit.

It's that simple. If you keep the outfit simple, you can up the anti on the jewellery and look chic even in bright tones.

STYLE STEAL// Oscar de la Renta

No Comments »






It's officially Spring and SS15 is in full bloom. We saw some beautiful dusky pastel collections on the runway for SS15 but Oscar de la Renta didn't let us down with his soft hues of pinks, creams, lemons and baby blues. One of our favourite ensembles from the collection was the beautiful laser cut lace skirt paired with a luxurious cream and pink checked shawl. It's a perfect mix of warmth with a hint of flirtyness. Here's how you can recreate this look.






We've gone for a 3D textured lace skirt from Topshop which works beautifully with this high necked soft pink top. We've gone for a longer version of the structured tank, as it's more wearable and flattering for anyone that isn't a supermodel. You can recreate the luxurious shawl with a thin knit over-sized wrap, worn almost like a kimono. Slip a pair of pastel heels on, these little lovelies are surprise surprise from Topshop. Theyr'e simple and elgant and the chunky heel is much easier strut your stuff in.

 This look is all about celebrating femininity. It's soft, dainty and sophisticated. Jewellery is kept to a minimal with a pair of over-sized earrings. To emphasize these, wear your off your face so all eyes are on your ear candy. We love our Casey Pastel Jewel Earrings from the new Candy Pastels collection, exclusive to us. Finish the look with soft shades of pink on your nails and lips. Add a sleek flick of eyeliner for a chic stylish ensemble that any Oscar de la Renta fan would be proud of!

This will definitely be our favourite style steal for the foreseeable months.

OOTD // CARRY ON WITH CANDY PINK

No Comments »

In our last post we told you how you could carry forward the Lydia Collar into SS15 with ease; this time we show you how to wear pink. Ice cream pastels like candy pink are set to be huge this coming season, so don't be afraid to bring out your inner Barbie girl!


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!

OOTD // COCKTAILS & COSTUME JEWELLERY

No Comments »

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!

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 // WEEKEND WARDROBE

No Comments »

The weekend is nearly upon us (yay!), which means we all have an excuse to glam up for a night out. With the new season upon us, darker shades seem to be the go to for most; but with bold brights and winter whites seen on the catwalk this year you shouldn't be afraid to mix it up and give your outfit a little something extra.

Black is always a fail safe option, whether it be in the form of a little black dress or your accessories. Our Maia Black Jewel Earrings are so versatile and will give any outfit a glam feel. Match your make up with a smokey black eyeshadow and a flick of liquid eyeliner.



Chandelier earrings look best worn without a necklace, so pair them with bracelets and rings if you don't want to go too OTT. Our YSL inspired Carmen White or Black Jewel Rings are perfect for this season's monochrome trend, and at just £6 each you can get both for less than £15!



Enjoy your weekend and let us know what pieces you'll be wearing to glam it up!

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!

Who spotted us in Look magazine last week?! We were very excited to be featured in the 'I'm Loving...' segment, as chosen by editor Ali Hall, as this issue's 'Get It Or Regret It' item!


This necklace is a perfect transitional piece to carry you through from summer to autumn, featuring both vibrant pink and subtle navy. We recommend wearing this with a neutral coloured top in the day, or a stand out pink dress to match for the night. You could even take inspiration from the pink, amber, navy and purple embellishments and work them into your make up look, with a smoky blue eye or a matte pink lip!

At just £15, our Eva Vintage Jewel Necklace has been flying out and is now only available to pre-order through our website, so be sure to get your orders in asap!
