White Out

Winter white is always beautiful to wear this time of year. I really love it in cashmere or a sleek wool pant, but what about accessories? Today we are looking at some beautiful white drop earrings that are dressy and feminine.

Saks off Fifth, Funky Shape Drop Earrings, $14

These have got some movement. I love the multiple teardrops in different tiers and sizes.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Marquise Crystal Studs, $16

These are a little showgirly and I love them. Can't beat the price!

Nordstrom, Jenny Packham Wanderlust Drop Earrings, $88

How about these beauties? A bit of an antique feel to them.

BaubleBar, Fatima Drops, $38

Gotta round it out with BaubleBar. They know statement earrings.

Winter white doesn't have to be for your wardrobe. Play with accessories that frost you!

Tell Me About It, Stud

Last month we looked at some really fantastic stud earring sets and in the past we've also looked at oversized stud earrings. Today let's go back to that and update the style: the statement stud earring. Flashy without weighing you down.

Amazon, Kate Spade Statement Studs, $68

What did I tell ya? A little pow but still classy.

Asos, Jewel Statement Stud Earrings, $10

Skip your Starbucks this week and get these instead. Think how lovely they'd look with a cozy sweater and a ponytail.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Crystal Cluster Stud, $25

Think how smashing these would look with a bold lip.

Club Monaco, Rada Star Earring, $98

Ok, maybe a little pricey but these are a real work of art. What a statement piece for any occasion.

Dress up those lobes with some fun statement studs! Hoops and drop earrings aren't going anywhere, so why not try something different?

These Earrings are My Gem

Let's have some fun with accessories today. I love a great ear crawler as a statement piece. But often they are heavy metal. Today, let's look at some gemtastic (technical term) ear crawlers.

Anthropologie, Lilac Crawler Earrings, $29

So feminine and delicate but a bit unexpected in a crawler format.

Lord & Taylor, Rectangular Ear Crawlers, $18

Yas. Party ready.

Nordstrom, BaubleBar Kristel Ear Crawler, $34

A pretty black tie ready earring or just dress up your bf jeans for girls night out!

Dillard's, Kate Spade Shine On Ear Crawler, $48

You know I love me some Kate Spade and these crawlers are no different. 

If the rocker look of the ear crawler gives you pause, you've got to try it with gems! These stones are playful and light and you can totally pull them off.

Regal Ruby

Remember your grandmother's jewelry box? You would look in and see an array of shiny brooches, gold chain necklaces, and a variety of colorful stones. Who knew which were family heirlooms and which were thrift shop, but who cared? One of my favorite pieces was always the ruby. It was regal and feminine. The deep red was rich like a merlot. While I don't have heirloom pieces for under $100 today, I do have some fun ruby earrings that won't break the budget.

Ann Taylor, Jewel Stud Earrings, $29

This item's description is 'the perfect finishing touch'. I couldn't agree more.

Target, Sterling Silver Bezel Stud Earrings, $34

The flush stone is very unique. Makes them a bit more of an everyday piece.

Modcloth, Receiving Drop Honors Earrings, $14

I'd wear these with a complimenting bold lip. Very rich.

Bloomingdale's, Rebecca Minkoff Front Back Earrings, $48

Didn't see these coming, did you? Ooh girl these are special. Get ready for compliments.

The depth of the red ruby adds so much to a simple piece of jewelry. Its a saturated color that demands attention.

Going in Circles

There is something quite simple and dramatic about a hoop earring. The hoop earring is as classic as the pearl. It goes with everything and you can dress it up, down, and everything in between. There are a zillion hoop earring options out there, today I thought we would look at some classic but unique gold and silver earrings.

Amazon, Jules Smith Girls Night Out Hoop, $28

See? Unexpected but not distracting.

Shoptiques, Officina Bernardi Silver Hoop Earrings, $70

I absolutely love beaded metal. I think it is super feminine and a bit warmer than a standard flat metal.

NY & Company, Oval Shaped Hoop Drop Earring, $9

How night out at the museum are these earrings? So very chic!

Etsy, Hoop Sterling Silver Icicle Earring, $68

These earrings are magical. They are light and mysterious and best of all, handmade in Seattle.

Hoop earrings are not just from Mean Girls era, they are the accessory that will be with us a century from now because they don't age and they don't go out of style.

Big Business Beads

Remember when you were 11 and decided you were going to make a living off of bead jewelry? You had the knack, expertise, and dedication to string those beads into one of a kind bracelets and anklets. How is that going for you? Yeah, me too. Luckily there are some people who did commit to this artistry and we can all benefit. Here are some truly lovely beaded earrings.

 The Outnet, Silver Tone Bead Earrings, $45

These beauties are 50% off right now and they will make your white dress pop and then make your navy blazer a bit more playful this fall.

Anthropologie, Jima Hoops, $98

I really love the mix of colors in this earring. That blue really stands out.

Gilt, Teardrop Earrings by Cara Couture, $20

I love Gilt for jewelry. Its a great place to find gifts because the designers are not what you find in your everyday department store.

Lord & Taylor, Beaded Chandelier Earrings, $19

How about these swingy earrings? They also come in white/gold.

So we didn't make it big with friendship bracelets or bead jewelry, but we can still enjoy the detailed perfection with these beaded earrings.

And the Horns Say

A simple necklace can really bring an outfit together. Of course you can grab a statement necklace and walk out the door, but sometimes you want something simple. A beautiful but easy necklace can work for day or night with the right outfit. Today's theme is a horn silhouette. It's unique, simple, and a southwest feel that is perfect for summer.

Steve Madden, SME75264, $20

Not the most interest name for a pair of earrings, but these beauties are amazing.

Baublebar, Santa Fe Pendant Necklace, $32

A touch of turquoise, why not?

Vince Camuto, Silver Tone Double Sided Horn Earrings, $28

These are sexy. A double sided earring that added a little something edgier than a regular hoop earring.

Bloomingdale's, Kenneth Jay Lane Horn Pendant Necklace, $60

How about a great long necklace that you can pair with a maxi dress?

Simple, special, and super versatile for any occasion. These horn accessories are anything but loud, but don't they make you do a double take?

Where My Girls at...

Earring trends have really had their time this year. The ear jacket, crawler, cuff, you name it! Let's add one more to the trend- the front to back studs.

Bloomingdale's, AQUA Pema Pyramid Pave Ball Earring, $22

So freaking sleek. These studs rule.

Macy's, Bar III Gold Tone Blush and Crystal Stone Earrings, $24

Feminine but so not traditional. Love.

Max and Chloe, Blu Bijoux Bullet Cone Front to Back Earring, $26

These earrings need a leather jacket or an LBD. You pick.

Bloomingdale's, Rebecca Minkoff Faux Pearl Arrow Front Back Earring, $38

A stunner in rose gold and the pearl mixed with bling and an arrow? So different.

The earrings have been quite the trend this year and I love it. Give the statement necklaces a break and dress up your lobes.

Come Crawling Back to Me

Let's get a little wild today. Let's play with a loud accessory that is eye catching or maybe I should say ear catching. Let's look at some ear crawlers. These earrings are the definition of a statement earring. They "crawl" up your ear lobe for maximum impact and absolute beauty.

BaubleBar, Viserion Ear Cuffs Earring, $34

I mean, come on. What I love about this earring is it looks heavy but the metal mimics feathers.

Shopbop, Noir Jewelry Ear Crawlers, $65

A little rocker edge to these bling beauties.

Max and Chloe, Seraphina Rose Gold Tiza Ear Crawler, $66

You know what I love about these? Everything. We all have those ponytail days. Well, you're going to enjoy them when you add these beauties to your look.

Zappos, Sam Edelman Stone Ear Crawler Earring, $30

These deco earrings also come in silver. These crawlers are also a bit smaller in size so they're a great starter pair.

I dare you to try these earrings because that's exactly what they are: daring. They are fun, a conversational piece, and always instagram worthy.

Hear Crystal Clear

Let's talk crystal. It's a great jewel to pair with prints and patterns and colors because it has a quiet elegance. Let me explain.

BHLDN, Ombre Chandeliers, $60

Simple and elegant, these crystals are quiet yet classic.

Ann Taylor, Round Crystal Chandelier Earrings, $49

Stunning. Perfect with a solid maxi and a night out.

JCrew, Venus Flytrap Earrings, $50

I love the faceted crystals on this earrings. Simple and fresh.

Baublebar, Crystal Arc Ear Jackets, $28

I recently took the ear jacket plunge and I'm having trouble not wearing them daily. These would be no different.

So when you're looking for an earring to compliment a great outfit, go for crystal. It's a bit of bling without being standout busy.
