ASSYA London at Temperley SS16

I am a fan of Temperley and loved her SS16 Show. It was filled with an exuberant sense of colour, pattern and rhythm. She took inspiration in Cuba and the forbidden yet tempting fantasy of island life. Her collection encompasses day to evening in a vivacious and animated manner whilst being confident, joyful and ultra feminine. All things that ASSYA loves!

For the occasion I wore a stunning Temperley Jacket and skirt accessorised with Assya new season Bullet double ring, Bullet bangle and Lost Crystal bangle.

Let’s get personal with engraving

Engraved Baby Charm bracelets

Assya Baby Charm bracelets are a popular choice for engraving, they make thoughtful presents to preserve a moment or memory. A great example is a gift to a mother to commemorate a birth of a child. The child’s name can be engraved on one side and the date on the reverse, you can even choose the child’s birthstone as the semi-precious beads that decorate the bracelet.

Assya bangles can be engraved inside and out to hold longer messages and phrases. They come complete with hanging star, moon, heart or cross charms. Discs can also be attached to bangles for engraving.

Rose gold looks great worn with pastels, which are rife in summer. Our new rose gold Rocks collection features rings and pendants set with pale pink rose quartz to really enhance the rosy tone. Our lilac and rose gold wrap bracelet also has this effect.

Silk Weaved Styling

Assya Silk Weaved bracelets are designed to be worn everyday and are perfect for adding a bit of luxe colour to any outfit, we love to stack different colours together to create different stories. The new collection is based on the natural colours occurring in sunsets, a perfect colour story for summer.

Rita Ora, the icon for the Silk Weaved bracelet, knows how to stack, wearing Assya Silk Weaved bracelets in a rainbow of colours.

But don’t limit yourself to stacking them with other Silk Weaved bracelets, mix it up with other Assya bracelets and your own bracelets. Rita Ora was the embodiment of festival chic at Glastonbury last year layering the Silk Weaved with her own bracelets (and festival wristband) and Assya Mini Cage and Baby Charm bracelet.

Assya’s Baby Charm bracelets make a perfect accompaniment to the Silk Weaved, designed in complimentary colours, with beads made from gemstones and shimmer charms they offer a pretty feminine contrast to the bold Silk Weaved. Our new lookbook pictures showcase this approach.

In the Assya Head Office bracelet stacking is our favourite accessory look at the moment, and be prepared to see more of it as the summer wears on and the arms come out. What looks better on a tanned arm that a bit of colourful armcandy!

SS14 Trend: Statement Earrings

One trend that you cannot escape this season is the statement earring, the SS14 catwalks were awash with oversized chandeliers and hoops adding the finishing touch to elegant ensembles.

Dolce & Gabanna SS14

Dolce & Gabanna went down the route of Greek/Roman decadence, with models dripping in gold jewellery. The standout pieces were oversized gold hoops complete with golden coins, showcased against stripped back make-up and Grecian updos.

Oscar de la Renta SS14

At Oscar de la Renta the earring took centre stage as the sole acessory. Ball gowns came complete with bejeweled chandeliers, in punchy hues of yellow, coral and turquoise, contrasting with or complementing the dress.

Street Style LFW SS14

Even on the streets the statement earrings reigned supreme, testament to how easy this trend is to pull off. Add a pair to any outfit for an instant on trend up-date. We love wearing ours with the very ‘now’ sports luxe trend, for an interesting high/low contrast. All you need is a sports logo tee, a boyfriend jean (turned up slightly), a stiletto heel, and the crowing glory, a statement earring like the Assya Moonlight earring (below).

Just remember statement earrings work best alone, so strip off all other jewellery, and wear your hair up (a pony tail will suffice) to give the earrings the maximum impact!

Moonlight Earrings, Black Rhodium & Blue Topaz, £320

Lotus Drop Earrings, Gold, £220

Assya Cage Earrings, Sliver & Amethyst, £210

Rocks Goddess Earrings, Gold & Chrysoprase, £375
