Fall 2012 to Winter 2013 calls for the return of opulence where jewellery is concerned. Spring and Summer saw the beginnings of this trend with the heavy layering of silver chains around the neck and single wide cuff bangles on an arm. Fall 2012 to Winter 2013 goes a step further, layering chunky pieces together for a totally lavish result.

This season, jewellery has gone chunky on all fronts. By all means wear your entire collection of bangles on one arm but leave out the rest of the jewellery, save the earrings. Or you could leave off the earrings and wear not one, but two or more chunky necklaces.

Choose one or two types of accessories and leave off the rest. Like an absolutely stunning pair of chandelier earrings with an armful of bangles. Or an armful of bangles and a gorgeous hair piece. Or several beaded necklaces and a cocktail ring.

The rest of your outfit should not compete with your jewellery. Such heavily adorned looks go beautifully with minimalist clothing, or simple outfit that are very well cut.

One point to note: chunky jewellery looks best on big or tall women who can carry them off. Avoid them if you are petite as you would look as if the jewels are wearing you, not you wearing them.

If you can carry chunky jewels, you will love our range at Avalaya store.

Make a fashion statement by wearing your scarf in a new and creative way. Show off your good taste and knack for creativity by attaching a scarf pin to the front of your scarf, pinning the lose ends together. You may also wear a scarf pin purely as a decoration, strategically placed to the side of the scarf.

Use a safety pin, crystal brooch or charm pin-brooch to secure the scarf around your neck. It will hold your garment firmly in place in windy conditions and will undoubtedly add extra glitz to your outfit.

Choose a scarf pin from the latest Avalaya range for yourself or as a present - you will be glad you did!
