Jewellery for summer 2015 include a simple chain and tiny pendant. And the best part, it can be paired with ethnic or western styles. Just make sure that you keep the chunkier pieces for the evening though. An all black look with a hint of gold can never go wrong.

‘Ear this! Statement earrings are a big trend this summer but make sure they are quirky. You could either go for a mis-match style, i.e; wear a different colour, length or shape on either ear, or catch hold of a funky shape like the fan earrings from Cushnie et Ochs show or the rose gold swirl from Tory Burch. If it is a traditional look that you are accessorizing, try textured pendant like earrings that are not too loud, but quirky enough.
