If you can’t make a statement in the summer then when can you hey? The natural vibrancy of the season provides the perfect confidence boost required to sport something ever so slightly more daring than normal!

Our statement of choice (much like Olivia Palermo above) is almost always a loud necklace, whether you tuck it under a little collar to add an interesting detail to an office look, layer it with smaller necklaces, wear it with a simple grey T-shirt for an unexpected combo or just slap it on with a bikini to laze by a lido… The statement necklace is a sure fire way to draw the eye and add an edge to a summer time look.

Lucky then that we have a sizzling selection of sparklers to heat up your summer look! All of these eye-catching designs are part of our Scuba Chic collection, designed to bring a bit of bohemian beach beauty to your day whether you are pounding the pavements or soaking up some sun on a distant shoreline.

From our Action Stripe Collier with it’s ripples of colour and bursts of sun-catching crystals to our Surf Bib Necklace with it’s matte neoprene finish, bold graphics and nostalgic colour ways – you’re sure to find a necklace with the same statement you have in mind!

We absolutely adore Festival de Cannes at lola&grace HQ, something about the glitz & glamour of Hollywood mixed with the vintage charm and elegance of the South of France never fails to enchant us year after year. And that’s not to mention the incredible red carpet looks that get rocked on a daily basis throughout the duration of the festival! To celebrate the fabulousness of the Festival we’ve put together a few of personal red-carpet favourites, the finishing touches make the look, don’t you think?

Brigitte Bardot demonstrating the benefits of a hoop earring and tiny waist on the Cannes shoreline. Get the look here

Kristen Stewart rocking an ultra modern look with a long delicate pendant like this

Madonna being her usual shy & retiring self! We can’t get enough of her drop earrings, we have some similar here

Diane Kruger making powder blue powerful on the red carpet! Her up do is finished off perfectly with those sparklers on her ears.

Not even royals can carry off a tiara quite like Elizabeth Taylor! We recommend trying a statement necklace for regal glamour if you haven’t got access to diamond crowns.

Freida Pinto looking super-cute in her nautical two piece. Nothing like stripes to make you look Cannes cool.

You may or may not have picked up on the massive surf vibes our summer collection is giving off… From the neoprene details to the Pacific pops of colour and tropical tones, we are all about catching the waves with this collection! So naturally we’ve been looking to some authentic surf sources for inspiration and stumbled across this classic, The Endless Summer.

Not exactly cutting edge, but a vintage classic that has had us dreaming of golden sunsets, warm sands and the soothing sound of waves ever since. The ultimate surf adventure, The Endless Summer is about two young Californian surfers travelling the world in search of the perfect wave. Filmed by legendary surf filmmaker Bruce Brown, it had audiences literally queuing around the block to watch it when it was first released in the 60s. Give the clip above a watch and you’ll see why! Alternatively take a look at the images below to get an instant hit of surf, sun and sand!

 We’ve always had a soft spot for the sartorial stylings of surfers, from the tiny trunks of the sixties to the baggy board shorts and wildly bright wetsuits of the present, we just can’t get enough! So when it came to our summer 2013 collection, we added a splash of surf chic to get you ready to ride out the summer in style.

 Whether you’re the type to be throwing yourself into summer sports until your wiped out or more likely to be lazing under a palm tree with a magazine, there is no excuse not to accessorise like a pro! From our Surf Bib Necklace, with it’s contrasting colours, bold print and nifty use of neoprene to our Action Stripe Necklace with ripples of colour, texture and crystals that sparkle brighter than the sea… There is something for every beach, city, pool or bar style!

We personally can’t get enough of our Kaleidoscope Necklace, it has just enough boho charm to give our look a beachy hippy vibe without bringing out the Birkenstocks! What’s your favourite? Take a look at the whole collection on our website www.lolaandgrace.com

There’s not much that Kate Bosworth can’t pull off in the sartorial stakes… Her fashion fearlessness mean that whether she’s rocking an off-duty pair of skinny jeans and a loose vest with ankle boots (in true California style!) or literally shining in an iridescent gold frock finished off with glittering golden jewellery, a cute up-do and pop-pink lips (see above), she always looks amazing. Which is why we have given her the highly prestigious accolade of ‘Golden Girl’, the ultimate style inspiration for our Golden Getaway trend.

We’re going to be emulating her Vanity Fair party-look as soon as the occasion calls for it, or before! And adding our own sparkling lola&grace pieces for some additional glamour. To see our Golden Getaway edit in full, head over to our website.
