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.

Bees Knees

A few weeks ago we had some fun with summer inspired prints. Today I thought we would play around with something a bit more dangerous- the bumble bee. What a fun way to accessorize this summer.

Ann Taylor, Bumble Bee Honeycomb Necklace, $69

I'm starting with my favorite. This classic gold necklace is spiced up with three tiny additions.

Max and Chloe, Blu Bijoux Gold Green White Crystal Bumblebee Bracelet, $14

How about this fun bracelet with a sundress? Also comes in a yellow/coral. 

Macy's, M Haskell Gold Tone Crystal and Bead Frontal Necklace, $42

Look closely at this statement necklace. There are no actual bees on it but the way the beading and gold come together, you get one heck of an illusion.

Shopbop, Tai Bee Earrings, $60

And let's end with a playful stud. So cute and casual for summer.

Don't worry, you don't need your epi pen for this trend. Just enjoy the accessory and style it preppy, classic, or something with sting like a bit rocker.

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.

Macy's, T Tahari Door Knocker Drop Earrings, $25

For a silver option, I really like this modern drop earring.

Max & Chloe, Harrison Morgan Gold Lion Door Knocker Stud, $45

For a more literal take on this trend, I love these stately yet adorable studs.

Shopbop, Kate Spade Night Lounge Door Knocker Earrings, $78

And how about a dressy option? These blinged out earrings can knock on my door anytime.

Thoughts on this earring trend? There are a lot of them right now, and we'll get there, but I really like this solid yet classic trend.

Somebody's Watching You

The evil eye is something that dates back centuries. Here you thought it started with the Housewives. Actually, the evil eye charm is meant to ward off injury or bad spirits; and different cultures call it different things. In Arabic ayn al-ḥasūd عين الحسود‎, in Hebrew ʿáyin hā-ráʿ עַיִן הָרַע and my personal favorite in Hawaiian maka pilau meaning stink eye. 

Let's ward off some evil with these beautiful pieces of jewelry.

Max and Chloe, Belair Evil Eye Disk Pendant Necklace, $54

Check out the blue on yellow here, it truly pops. Pair this with a chambray top or striped dress.

Need Supply Co, Evil Eye Studs, $18

Eerie slash gorgeous, right?

BaubleBar, Evil Eye Cuff, $32

This beauty also comes in silver. I love this for a colorful arm party.

Urban Outfitters, Rhinestone Evil Eye Ring, $10

A delicate yet strong ring that is sure to keep you in the clear from injury.

Evil eye, yay or nay? I'm saying yay because of these stunning pieces. Go simple with the studs or bling it out with a pendant, either way you'll be safe.

First Star I See Tonight

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.

Max and Chloe, Blu Bijoux Black Double Starburst, $34

A fabulous price for a great statement. These beauties are Gatsby party ready or rocker chic with ripped jeans.

Kohl's, Apt. 9 Gold Tone Simulated Crystal Starburst, $8

How fun are these studs? I love them with a suit or a denim jacket. Great pop of color.

BaubleBar, Crystal Meteor, Drops, $34

I love these white beauties because they are perfect with neon. 

Max and Chloe, Emily Elizabeth Shimmer Star Stud, $70

These have to be my favorite. Simple and beautiful, these studs are easy to wear with just about anything.

Starburst earrings are a great way to make a statement. When wearing a bigger earring, go simple or not at all with the necklace.

Happy Birthday Sara

It's my sister's birthday. She's posted here before, so I feel like you know her. She is turning the big 25 today and so we're going to pick out some gifts that she would love.

Invisible Children, Mend/Clutch, $79

Sara is very passionate when it comes to helping people. This charity is no different. Invisible Children is a great organization that benefits women and children affected by the LRA conflict.

Max and Chloe, Elephant Charm Bangle Bracelet, $25

Speaking of Africa, did I mention she has a thing for elephants? I'm loving this dainty little bangle.

J Crew Factory, Mirrored Sunglasses, $19

I have come to understand that I will never be a cool as my sister. She could pull of these mirrored shades with no problem, and with this price point, she should.

Anthropologie, Mahdia Peasant Top,$88

This breezy top is perfect for work or play. I'd pair it some slim ankle pants for work.

Happy birthday Sara! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Bauble Bath

Define this word: bauble. We say it all of the time when referring to jewelry but what does it really mean? Well, here's what I found.

bau·ble

ˈbôbəl/

noun: a small, showy trinket or decoration

Let's run with this, let's look at some bauble necklaces that will add a small show to your outfit.

Modcloth, Working Shine to Five, $19

A bauble doesn't have to be neon. Instead this muted piece is a great mix of bling and beads.

Max & Chloe, Blu Bijoux Gold Yellow Black and Pink Flora, $34
This necklace reminds me of a beautiful bee or ladybug. I love the design.

Baublebar, Crystal Zodiac Necklace, $38
These candy coated looking baubles are perfect to spice up a suit. The antique gold chain is a great compliment.

Loft, Fireball Bauble Necklace, $44
This necklace is great because you can change the length based on your neckline. Loop it around the outside collar of an oxford or pull it tighter to lay right on your collarbone.

How do you define bauble? Please share because I always love new vocabulary. Whether its with bling, color, or metal, a statement piece necklace should always be in your closet.

Pretty Python

One fall trend that is easy to fall in love with is python. It's great to wear now and in the winter. There are many color variations with this print, you can find blue, maroon, and others. For me, I prefer to keep it standard.

Loft, Rachel Python Print Wedges, $89

Snakeskin pumps are an easy go to. These wedges? These are fierce.

Bluefly, Rebecca Taylor Grey Python Print Crewneck, $85

This is a gorgeous longsleeve tee. You could wear it with jeans and a moto jacket or wear it under a suit.

Max and Chloe, Roman Luxe Python Triangle Pinky Ring, $44

This is one rocker pinky ring. Simple, bold and chic.

Calvin Klein, Combo Placket Blouse, $48

Not wanting an all over python? This blouse give a great option for hints of print.

Python is certainly a departure from my usual polka dots and glitter but add some diversity to your closet. Mix things up!

Round Em Up

The lariat style is a bit of a throw back. It's an interesting necklace style that makes you stand out rather than just a long strand necklace. You can find them with jewels, bling, or just plain metal. So let's get a little retro and take a look at these lassos.

Shopbob, Gorjana Cross Lariat Necklace, $70

I started with this necklace because it is so delicate and simple. Clean lines and nothing too busy.

Boticca, Weather the Storm Necklace, $74

This necklace is adorable, a storm cloud and lightning bolt. Come on.

Zappos, My Flat in London Miss Socialite, $44

A great key emblem with Swarovski crystal accents make this dressy but not blingy.

Max and Chloe, Bee Charming Outer Space Zipper Lariat, $30

I saved my favorite for last. An astronaut, alien, and flying saucer. LOVE THIS.

The lariat style came from the cowboys, it's a style of lasso. Now it's a great way to mix up your standard strand.

All Tasseled Up

Happy humpday lovebugs,
I love earrings, probably because they add the perfect addition or enhancement so close to your face. They can stud, dangle, or in today's case tassel. We've looked at other tassel accessories in the past, but today let's look at tassel earrings.

Brooks Brothers, Stone and Tassel Drop Earring, $64

These are half off and they are a steal in my opinion. Just beautiful, and you can't beat Brooks Brothers quality.

BaubleBar, Snow Pearl Tassel Drops, $26

Oh just so classy. Perfect for a sundress for evening or LBD.

Macy's, Jessica Simpson Gold Island Blue Stone and Chain Tassel, $24

A little rocker-chic from J. Simp. I dig it.

Max and Chloe, Kenneth Jay Lane Tassel Earrings, $52

Simple, elegant, and so easy to mix in with just about anything.

Tassels don't seem to be going away anytime soon. We seem them on jewelry, bags, shoes, you name it. Try these beautiful earrings and get some guaranteed compliments.

Blingy Bib

Happy almost Friday lovebugs,
Today we're looking at some bling. Some bling that will add some serious sparkle to your outfit. Blingy bibs. No, not this. This:

Macy's, Gold Tone Opal Crystal Bib, $42

Picture this with an LPD (little pink dress, obviously guys) OR picture it peeking out from an oxford shirt. I know. Mind blown.

C Wonder, Crystal Ball Bling Drama Necklace, $88

I love the name of this necklace because it so reminds me of Cinderella.

BaubleBar, Neon Aqua Bib, $36

Loving the color combination with this piece, oh and the price is pretty nice as well.

Max and Chloe, Blu Bijoux Gold Red Orange and Crystal Bib, $36

These colors are quite unexpected and I'm loving this with chambray.

Blingy bibs. Easy to add to any so-so outfit and BAM, instant awesome.
