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.

Singer/Producer MNEK has been on our radars for a while now. Recently he released a cover of the Disclosure/AlunaGeorge collaboration, ‘White Noise‘. That was a marvelous thing to happen in its own right, but now two of Amsterdam’s finest, Full Crate & FS Green, have teamed up for a remix of the cover. It’s an energetic UK Funky affair that definitely defies the proverb that “too many cooks spoil the broth.”

As soon as the sun starts shining we can’t help but start daydreaming of glittering sea, warm golden sand, sizzling sunsets and outdoor dinners. We just love those summer candids so much that we’ve actually developed an entire range inspired by those golden getaway moments!

Using rich & warm golden hues we’ve created a selection of sparkling pieces designed to enhance your summer look, whether you prefer a sun kissed glow or the benefits of the shade. Naturally, each piece is generously sprinkled with Swarovski crystals to catch the last of those sun rays as you head out for the evening for a glamorous boost!

Whether you opt for the opulent glittering of our Sparkle Ring, Sparkle Pendant and Mini Loops Ring, or the more subtle, sun-catching shine of our Square Solitaire jewellery, just make sure you give your style the golden getaway it deserves!

We’ll be wearing ours with soft metallics and natural shades for a romantic sparkle. How will you be styling yours? Let us know in the comments.

Here in lola&grace HQ we are well and truly ready for the sun!
