Bijou Brigitte and H&M statement necklaces

Bijou Brigitte and H&M statement necklaces

❤

I love statement necklaces, they are glamorous and they can alter your entire look. Today I would like to present some of my favourite and I will focus on, let's say 'simple' statement necklaces. Bijou Brigitte has some really nice jewelry and yes, I love to shopping there. H&M, as you already know, is one of my favourite low cost shops, but I didn't expect to find so many types of statemenent necklaces there(more than 30). It's really surprising. The first and the second necklace are from Bijou Brigitte and the tirth one is from H&M. Do you have the courage to wear them? Leave me your comments.

I have a little obsession with jewelry, maybe? Hmm no, I am jewelry obsessed! But I know you understand me! This pearl earrings look so classy and elegant. Don't you agree with me? I just couldn't say no. Titan silver & gold is a small family business jewelry brand situated in the Republic of San Marino. Their goal is to provide you with outstanding service and quality. I am very happy with the quality of the product. What do you think about my new earrings? Leave me your comments.

Jewelry, why do women love jewelry? Because jewelry is pretty and it makes us feel pretty. Every woman is beautiful and every woman needs to feel pretty. Brosway made a beautiful collection of necklaces called Romeo&Juliet. I love the name of the collection, such an elegance and romanticism. Black steel and shiny cristals, united in difference, different but the same. The necklace is made of 316L stainless steel, ceramic and Swarovski® Elements cristals. Two souls bound by the same fate, chained, indissoluble. The taste of simplicity combined with an innate elegance. What do you think about my new necklace? Leave me your comments.

Autumn Sun

Autumn Sun

It was both a sunny & windy day down here in my city today. It took us a while to style my hair which was blown all around me, often covering my eyes and face. Well, I could say I just had one of these ‘bad hair days‘. And believe me, even though it brings a lot of fun during the photoshoot, at the same time it can be very frustrating and annoying.

To help create a casual fall outfit, I used an oversized wool coat that functions as a cover-up. Cover-ups are extremely versatile and an ideal addition to your fall wardrobe. My coat is a unique handmade piece made by my favorite personal tailor and features an oversized collar. I’m always stunned by the tailor’s ability to produce perfectly fitting pieces that meet my individual requirements. As much as I love shopping in the city center, nothing can beat the experience and joy of having something custom made.

In order to create your custom clothing the tailor is going to measure you and help by suggesting a style that would look good on you. They will also discuss with you the best way to incorporate your custom requirements and suggest ideas you never thought of. I worked closely with my tailor to determine the style of my coat and I visited their workshop several times to discuss the progress. It wasn’t a hassle because I did it during the weekend or late afternoons.

This last week I went back to have a discussion on any final adjustments, and just a few days later it was finished and I picked it up. They did the work perfectly. Although I was absolutely delighted with the quality of the coat and service, finding a good tailor that fits you isn’t an easy job.

What I really like about my new oversized wool coat is the unique style that it has. The shoulder-draping collar adds some drama, and the lining is smooth and uses colorful patterns.

The oversized wool coat works together with the monochrome plaid scarf and Calzedonia gray knitted tights, Sisley hobo bag and my Pittarello chamois leather boots. These knitted tights were love at first sight from the moment I saw them in the store’s display. On top of it I’ve added a pair of Chanel earrings, H&M sunnies and a silver ring that looks absolutely fabulous. What do you think? Waiting for your precious comments.

My New Clothing Haul: Fall Edition #2

My New Clothing Haul: Fall Edition #2

It is getting colder outside, and we are slowly heading into the winter. My new fall clothing haul is a mix of mostly lightweight transitional clothing that will help you to look stylish and at the same time make you feel comfortable. 

But don’t forget to apply the basics of layering by mixing lightweight and heavy clothing to keep ourselves warm during the fall and winter. This time I bought a pair of a Met winter shorts. If you are tired of wearing jeans and pants, why not replace them with stylish winter shorts? 

Contrary to what many people believe, shorts can be stylish and warm. Winter shorts are everywhere this season and now is a perfect time to get yourself a pair. They will definitely make you stand out this winter. 

 

These shorts came in a gorgeous violet, and if you like to match sets, consider getting yourself a violet blazer as well.

I also got myself a pair of Twin Set jersey brown pants, as these are super handy to have in your collection. These loose-fitting style pants with side pockets and slim fit design are perfect for fall transitional dressing.

As the winter season is at our doors, it usually comes with a limited palette of colors, with blacks, grays and whites mixed in. Personally I find this selection of colors a bit dull to my liking, as I prefer to add in some color. So, I bought a dark red Bordeaux velvet shirt by Krizia Poi. 

Even though red has been in fashion for decades, I think that this season it’s all about Bordeaux red and velvet.

This braided leather bracelet came as a surprise gift. Made of black & white leather, this leather wrist bracelet is set to celebrate and honor my relationship with a dear friend.

When Sporty Meets Chic Elegance

When Sporty Meets Chic Elegance

Let’s talk about the combination of the elegant and sporty styles. But first, a short introduction of who I am. After the few initial articles about the timeless wisdom advices by notable women, why women love shoes and a autumnal long lasting fragrance it’s time to share with you my very first look. I am excited to post these pictures and introduce myself to my readers.

For a long time I’ve been following my favorite fashion blogs, reading through them daily. I always wanted to create something myself and I’ve finally decided to start my own blog. My name is Aurora Berill and I’ve launched Elegance of Luxury, my little creative corner, with the idea to share my stylish outfit inspirations, beauty advice and guides on a variety of topics. You can find more information about me in my About section.

The sporty meets chic elegant style is one of the latest trends, sometimes tricky and challenging to combine but when you manage to pull it off it looks great! If you want to create a somewhat formal feeling then try to stick with a natural subdued color scheme, in this case I went with a monochromatic silver beige. Beige is a light and neutral color that describes pale and light brown shades, one of my favorite colors lately. When it comes to combining different garments it’s all about balance. Here I am combining pieces of similar colors and I don’t play much with high contrasts.

The Sisley basic half button tee and Calliope linen shorts are all beige and fit perfectly with my Chanel silver stud logo earrings. I add in some contrast with the H&M sunnies and black studded leather bag, but not too much. Adding to the sporty look I wear Kappa low top sneakers, which fit perfectly with my initial idea to create a perfect modern minimalist outfit for contemporary women. To complete the look I went with a straw hat with removable brown leather strap and added a splash of color with the turquoise necklace.

During the summer, try to pay attention to the materials used in your clothes. It’s better to stick with light natural fibers like cotton and linen. Synthetics won’t breath well during the hot days and that can lead to rashes. Have you ever tried combining stylish with sporty looks?
