OOTD // PASTEL PREVIEW

No Comments »


Pastels are a common recurrence every season, with candy shades appearing across stores each spring/summer, and muted dusky tones for autumn/winter. SS15 is no different, with designers such as Timo Weiland, Valentino and Badgley Mischka all hopping on the pastel colour trend. Our next lot of exclusive designs will be landing on our website in early March, but if you can't wait that long we've got a sneak peek for you today!


Peach has to be one of our favourite summer colours. It works wonders for your complexion, no matter what your skin tone, giving you a dewy glow. Our Jania Floral Jewel Necklace packs a peachy punch with hints of lemon yellow and mint green to create a contrast. We love how the chunky gold chain offsets against the pretty jewels to give your neckline some edge.

We found this super feminine peach sheer textured midi skirt from River Island as a perfect colour match, to take you from garden party to evening cocktails by the beach! Bardot style tops aren't expected to fall off the fashion radar any time soon, so be sure to snatch up this pale yellow ribbed crop from New Look. Keep your shoes simple, like these white heeled sandals with gold buckle detail from River Island. They won't overpower the rest of your ensemble, but the gold detail will tie them in effortlessly.

To make your skin glow even more, complement your tan with a light gold eyeliner to accent the inner corners of your eyes - it'll also make them appear bigger and brighter! Highlight your cheekbones with a multi-tonal bronzer that has a slight shimmer to it, and brush on a classic light nude nail polish to complete the look.

Keep your eyes peeled on our website for new styles - we've got plenty more landing with us over the next few weeks!

OOTD // EMILIO PUCCI '70S STYLE STEAL

No Comments »


SS15 is almost officially upon us, and the high street is already stocking up on designer inspired goodies for the season ahead - including Adorning Ava! We've shown you how to work the monochrome trend with ease, next it's onto the '70s style that's sweeping stores across the nation.


We love the colour of the cut out dress from the Emilio Pucci SS15 show - perfect to wear with a summer tan! We've found this gorgeous River Island racer front asymmetric dress in the same shade of orange, in a design that's a little easier to wear. Orange may seem a daunting choice, especially when you're thinking of what colours to pair it with. If you're ever struggling, just look at a colour wheel and think opposites.


In this case, deep purples and blues are ideal. Our Jazmin Jewel Pendant Necklace (coming soon!) mixes both bright orange and cobalt blue jewels for some serious '70s style. You can still buy our Jazmin Geometric Jewel Choker here in the meantime! We've matched our make up to our necklace, adding a swish of cobalt liquid eyeliner and a hint of white pencil liner for the inner corners. With such bright eyes, it's best to keep your lips toned down. This bronze shade will tone well with your tan without being too overpowering, and the slight shimmer to it will be sure to make you look glowing.

We love the way the team at Emilio Pucci have styled their dress with tan shoes and a matching bag. Tan leather shoes are a summer must have, particularly those with a chunky heel, which luckily makes them much easier to walk in as well! This Steve Madden pair are absolutely to die for, plus they're made with real leather! We found this tan fringe bag at La Moda - an almost identical match to the catwalk for a bargain £22.99! Fringing was a key trend in the '70s, but if a heavily fringed bag is a little too much for your liking, we've got plenty of jewellery pieces on their way soon with delicate chain fringe detailing that's easy for anyone to wear.

To complete the look, make like model Nadja Bender and work L'Oreal Professional techni.art Beach Waves into your hair, either when it's wet or dry, for an ultra cool boho style in minutes.

OOTD // SS15 SNEAK PEEK

No Comments »

The wait is over - our SS15 preview is finally here! Over the coming weeks we'll be adding more sneak peeks at our collection, but for now we've got an exclusive look at some of our monochrome pieces.

Monochrome is set to be one of the biggest trends of the season, and unlike colourful trends it's much easier to wear. We've pulled together a casual evening look for those upcoming barbecues none of us can wait for!


White is a classic summer colour, and when wearing the monochrome trend this season it's important to get in as much white as you can - not least because you'll boil in head to toe black in the summer heat! These simple white MOTO jeans with ripped knees add a little bit of edge to your look. Pair with a white cami vest and wear a longline black kimono to add some contrast.

Chelsea boots arrived several season ago and aren't set to fade into the background yet. Their chunky heels and platform base make them a comfortable and easy way to add some height. We love this matte grey pair from Missguided; plus they're in the sale!

One of our favourite pieces from our SS15 Monochrome trend collection has to be the Abby Statement Monochrome Jewel Collar. It's super chunky and incorporates both black and white to give your necklace some definition. Plus, the thick silver chain goes great with our Miley Chunky Chain Cuff! If you haven't got yours yet,  they're now in the sale for just £4.99!

To complete your look, carry an oversized black clutch, like this amazing Missguided snakeskin effect bag. Either continue the trend throughout your make up with a flick of black eyeliner (heavy winged eyes are a big beauty trend for SS15!) and white nail polish, or add a pop of colour. Neon brights will make their grand return in summer so you can wear two trends in one outfit!

We'll be announcing on our blog when our new pieces are available for purchase, so stay tuned!
