Outerwear Your Ears

The latest trend in earrings: the ear jacket. Seriously. I think it's more wearable than the ear cuff but a bit more unexpected than your normal stud earring. The ear jacket is part stud and part drop earring.

BaubleBar, Pearl Arc Ear Jackets, $28

Step up your normal pearls for these whimsical accessories. You can also vary the length of the earring with adjustable holes for the stud.

Bloomingdale's, AQUA Paige Bar Ear Jacket, $20

A little door knocker and a little hoop. This is going to look great with a suit. 

Piperlime, Rebeca Minkoff Crystal Earring, $58

Got a special occasion or an LBD that need a boost? These babies. Elegant and interesting.

Stella and Dot, Crescent Ear Jacket, $49

I saved my favorite for last. These have four different way to wear them. Wear just the studs, switch out the stud and just enjoy the compliments.

I'm loving this trend. I think it's different without being isolating to us 9-5 folks.

Knock, Knock

Let's talk earrings. I'm loving the newest architectural trend: the door knocker. That's right, the door knocker. This item is known for it's weight, but in an earring it's quite delicate and classic in a welcoming sort of way. (See what I did there? Welcoming?)

Bloomingdale's, Ralph Lauren Tortoise Shell Link Door Knocker, $34

I love me some tortoise because it goes with everything. These simple earrings would work with a suit or jeans.

Sometimes it is all about the statement necklace. Other times you need to let your ears do the talking. And listening because you'll be getting a lot of compliments. The statement earring comes in all shapes and sizes, today we're looking the starburst earring. It's blingy, spacey and perfect for work or play.

The Tortoise and Your Ear

Happy humpday lovebugs,
Today I wanted to talk about some tortoise. We all know and love tortoise sunglasses, but recently, I'm really loving the casual cool of tortoise earrings. There is something very classy yet no frills about it.

Tory Burch, Walter, $78

Tory knows simple and chic and these studs do just that. I love the gold accents.

Macy's, Ralph Lauren Tortoise Hoop Earring, $40

I'm picturing these with a tweed blazer and jeans, super library cool.

I love these because they're so artistic. Eye catching and unexpected.

Tortoise is timeless and seasonless so find a piece that you love and spend a little bit more on it so you can have it forever. I promise they will be one of your go to signature items.

Don't Cry!

I usually wear a simple stud for earrings but when I'm playing dress up or adding some sparkle to a work outfit, I love adding a teardrop earring. There is something very delicate yet classy about the shape and size.

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Paisley Park, $51

You know I gotta post some Kate when we're looking at beautiful accessories. I love these dressed up or down.

Cusp, Pave Teardrop Earring, $38

These remind me of an Amrita Singh piece but much more bang for your buck!

Forever 21, Crochet Teardrop Earring, $5

How cute are these? I'd pair these with bf jeans and a plain tee for the weekend.

Neiman Marcus, Nakamol Beaded Teardrop Earring, $65

These beauties would be perfect for an evening dinner date. They would capture the light and add just the perfect amount of sparkle to the face.

While stud earrings are usually my go to, I love the easy and fancy feel of the teardrop earring.
