Hoop Earrings Were Her Thing

Sometimes a statement earring can be daunting. Too big, too clingy, too many colors. And a simple hoop earring doesn't always do the trick. My advice, look for a circular drop earring that turns heads without being overwhelming.

Nordstrom, BaubleBar Cabana Drop Earring, $36

See what I mean? Simple but statement maker.

Sole Society, Turquoise Combo Le Carnival Teardrop Earring, $54

Colorful without being stuffy preppy. 

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Crystal Wrapped Double Drop Earring, $24

Something more monochrome but no shortage on the beauty.

Asos, Statement Tassel Jewel Chandelier Earring, $24

Pretty fantastic combination of colors and textures.

Why wear hoops when you can wear something so much more fun?

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.

Nothing But Net

Today we are going back to basics. We've covered the navy pant, the black pant and others- but today we're looking at a basic accessory: the hoop earring. Yes those hoop earrings.

Such a classic piece that you can wear with everything. Let's look at a couple of styles and price points.

Revolve Clothing, Huggy Hoop Earring, $77

A great hammered metal that is so sleek and understated.

French Connection, Hexagon Outline Hoop Earring, $18

I had to put these tortoise options in, I am kind of obsessed with them.

Barney's, Sonya Renee Hammered Hoop Earring, $80

How about an unexpected rose gold hoop?

Loft, Hoop Earrings, $24 $14 with code FALLSTYLE

A simple yet solid option that comes in gold, silver, or bronze.

Hoop earrings have been, are, and will always be in style. They're a great investment piece but they're also easy to pick up on a budget.

Vanishing Act

Hey there lovebugs,
I'm back from a fabulous vacation with the Bf. I first and foremost want to thank my wonderful guest posters last week. Rosa, Emily P, Emily H, Lauren.

Now that I'm back, I thought we would take on a big trend for the spring. Lucite. A while ago we looked at lucite shoes and today we'll look at some lucite or clear accessories.

BCBGeneration, Morgan Lucite Minaudière, $64

If you're wondering, minaudière is a fancy way of saying small bag. Yeah, throw that out at a party. "Oh, I love your clutch!" "Actually--it's a minaudière, but yes, isn't it fabulous?"

Last Call Neiman Marcus, RJ Graziano Clear Bangle, $35

I love this chunky bangle because it's actually quite light and airy.

Vince Camuto, Lucite Hoop Earrings, $25

These are stunning, they are the perfect addition to a hot pink summer dress.

C Wonder, Lucite Link Layering Necklace in Shocking Pink, $58

This is a great option for warmer weather, it also comes in yellow or clear. It's easy to layer with lighter necklaces.

Lucite doesn't always have to be clear, as long as it's see through, it's on trend. Try it out this summer!

Featured Store: Alex & Ani

Hey lovebugs,
Happy Monday. Did you celebrate Father's Day and call your dad or spend the day with him? I missed being at home, but calling him always helps.

Today we're taking a look at a great jewelry store: Alex and Ani. Their eco-friendly pieces are really beautiful and unique.

Alex and Ani, Ladybug Bangle, $28

As you probably have guess by now, I'm a sucker for a ladybug aka lovebug. 

Alex & Ani, Tiger Endless Hoops, $68

What an easy accessory to add to any Saturday night outfit. Simple and chic.

Alex and Ani, NY Subway Token Necklace, $48

How cool is this? A made in America piece of history.

Alex and Ani, Kingston Wrap, $48

I love the intricate detail of these hollow beads, so expensive looking.

Alex and Ani reminds me of a cross between House of Harlow and Dogeared. I really like the vintage feel with the simple jewelry.

Geometric Hoops

Let's talk hoops.  Not basketball, earrings.  But not just your normal circles, I'm talking geometric hoops, something more alluring to the eye.

By Boe, Geometric Hoop Earring, $50

Dainty, delicate, and just a touch rocker right?

Rachel Roy, Hematite tone squares, $26

I really love these with an LBD or a deep v neck.

Target, Silver Large Oval Clutch Hoops, $20

Very simple like a hoop but this shape elongates the face.

Urban Outfitters, Tribal Point Hoop Earrings, $20

These are perfect for a breezy maxi dress, just enough bling.

I'm loving the simplicity of these earrings but these offer a little more edge.  Perfect for summer sweet dresses.
