Style is such a personal and subjective thing. We are always told that your style is a way of expressing who you are, but who you are is always evolving and therefore your style is too. With each new person you are exposed to, you will be influenced by their energy, their style and what they are creating. Here at A Silver Circle, we love to dress how we want to feel and embodying a sister who goes after life in their own unique way is great influence on us.
In light of International Women’s Day in March, we at A Silver Circle have been reflecting on women that inspire us and the brand. So it’s only fitting this month for the blog that we have compiled a list of four different iconic women who boldly expressed themselves through their personal style and their art form. We have had so much fun matching each A Silver Circle piece to the spirit of each of these amazing women.
Read on to be inspired, and perhaps see how your own personal style might embody theirs!
STEVIE NICKS
Known as the Goddess of Rock, Stevie Nicks, exudes an edgy confidence both on and off stage. As the first female solo artist to be inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she is a fierce pioneer in her industry who has powered her way through her career, not caring about what others think of her. Now in her 70s she refuses to slow down, still continuing to rock the stage in her signature sparkly shawls, flared-sleeved, lacey, dark looks.
On days you want to channel your inner boho rock, here are our selection of ASC pieces that would add the perfect edge to your outfit! The Geometric Earrings are perfect to add a bit of movement to your look. Pair it with the Black Tourmaline Drop Pendant, Moonstone Ring, Twisted Rings and the Silver Hexagon Ring and you will be belting out some classic Fleetwood Mac tunes and dancing in your living room before you know it!
VIRGINIA WOOLF
One of the most important writers of the 20th century, Virginia Woolf was an excellent mind, a lover of language and a keen observer of the modern world. Aside from her critically acclaimed novels, especially Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), she also wrote pioneering essays on artistic theory, literary history, women’s writing, and the politics of power. Although Woolf was not a big fan of the spotlight she received, she pursued her passion with intelligence, determination and an understated feminine grace.
For the minimalist in all of us, here are timeless ASC pieces that will highlight your feminine elegance and modern classic side. The Bar Link Chain is timeless simplicity that can be styled layered with the Curved Bar Necklace or singular. Pair it with the Textured Small Ring and Plain Layering Rings with the classic Domed Patterned Medium Earrings.
JONI MITCHELL
An icon of the Woodstock generation, Joni Mitchell is loved for her comforting songs of love and suffering which she sings in her beautiful soprano voice. As a folk artist in the 70s, many of her songs also reflect social and environmental ideals which go hand in hand with her bright, wholesome, gypsy personality. Her youthfulness also translated into her fashion sense of flowy dresses and earthy colours.
For when you want to embody that free gypsy spirit, here are some ASC pieces that draw inspiration from nature and will bring you good energy. The Branch Pendant is the perfect way to connect to the earth element. Paired with the Teardrop Earrings with Figures for some whimsy, a couple of 9ct Plain Gold Rings and the Rhodonite Ring. Along with the Organics Pendant you can embody your connection to nature and embody the Joni Mitchell spirit.
FRIDA KAHLO
One of the most distinguished artists in history, Mexican painter Frida Kahlo is a household name. She is most well-known for her self-portraits inspired by nature and cultural artefacts of Mexico, exploring questions of identity, gender, post colonialism and class. Following her death, the feminist movement of the 1970s led to renewed interest in her life and work, and Kahlo is now viewed by many as an icon of female creativity. Her strong sense of culture and her vibrant and eclectic persona boldly came through her artworks as well as her dress – colourful and patterned.
At ASC we are inspired by her spirit and her play with shapes and colours. To embody the Frida spirit, we love to express our unique and more creative side. The pieces we love to wear are the Maya Fan Earrings and Islamic Stone Pendant paired with some a little pop of colour with the Amazonite Ring, the one of a kind Oval Ring with Domes and the Bar Ring.
