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?

What A Colorful World

Remember when colorblock used to be THE thing? What happened? Did we give up? Well I'm not quite over it. Maybe we can tone it down from the major color combos of two years ago, but I am really loving these pieces.

Partying with Palms

This weekend, I am heading to Florida for a quick birthday trip. A little sun and baseball. That got me inspired to look at some warm weather prints, which is why we're looking at palm leaves today. They're fun, graphic, and come in all colors and styles.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Michael Kors Short Sleeve Pleated Palm Blouse, $37

Monochrome chic that I'd add a pop of neon in the form of earrings to really make it stand out.

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.

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

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?

Capturing My Attention

Call me crazy but I think cap toe is making a comeback. Of course there is the classic Chanel ballet flat.  But the modern cap toe is sleek and it's modern. If that doesn't sell you, it's a comfortable flat, how can you say no to that?

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Gretchen Pointed Toe Flat, $76

Let's just take a moment to breathe in these flats. Pair it with pearls and call it a day.

Topshop, Swift Toe Cap Slipper, $40

This shoe is Pink Ladies meets T Birds and that's fantastic.

Tommy Hilfiger, Pointed Cap Toe Flat, $54

Such a beautiful fall shoe. I love the mix of deep merlot and gray.

Ann Taylor, Ruthie Quilted Leather Cap Toe Flats, $88

Quilted and a patent toe? Sign me up.

Playing with the cap toe trend is so much fun because you can pair a typically 'buttoned up' shoe with bf jeans or suede pants.
