I never told you guys..

..but I have a (not so) secret love of earrings.

Huge, big, statement earrings.

Oh Amy Adams, you saucy minx.

I'm not talking crazy-go-nuts earrings so big and gaudy that you now have a size 8 gauge hole in your ear. More like classy, fun, bold earrings. They are the perfect accessory.

Nine times out of ten, I'm sporting some version of big ear bling. Prepare for several gratuitous photos of yours truly, mostly because I don't feel like laying out my earrings and taking pictures of them. And because earrings look better, you know, in ears.

These are some of my faves right now, because they kind of match my hair and make my asymmetrical bob look even more asymmetrically hot. At least in my mind.

These are fun just because they are SO long. Don't ask about the hair.

I have no idea where these are right now. But they are super great for summer.

Feather earrings are always awesome. I don't know why people hate them so much.

I have a bunch more, of course, but I'm pretty sure you get the idea.

I'm bummed because the feather earrings in the last picture, which I loved, are no more. Let's just say I had a very good night in Philly a few months ago, and they did not survive the night with my face smushed on a friend's couch. Dumb. So I am in search of a new pair, and came across a few on Etsy that I'm digging:


I already know that I could never get away with the super long turquoise in the bottom left corner.. I think they are 12" long, but they are so sassy.. One day, I'll be badass enough to pull that off!

Do you guys have a staple fashion accessory? Earrings, perhaps?!

I go in and out of phases of big statement earrings. I also went through the long necklace phase. I would say my long standing accessory is the scarf. I have been wearing the "pashmina" uber cheap version for years, then it blew up everyone was wearing them and my shopping life became easier... and now they are dying down again and I'm still rocking the scarf.

Necklaces are my addiction. I have tons and tons of necklaces.

P.S. I love that headband you are sporting in photo 2. Pretty sure I need one.

OMG, the turquoise ones are amazing! I hate to suggest this but if you think there too long, could you cut them? (EEK, cutting new earrings?!) Because that color would be gorgeous on you.

Those feather earrings are amazing!! I have a pair, but they don't lay right on me. I think I need to try another kind.

I am so with you on statement earrings. I don't wear a lot of jewelry except for big, eye catching earrings. It's the only way to go!

I used to wear earring all the time but lately I've just stuck with the diamond studs Jus gave me for our first Valentine's.
I love the tiger ones, though, statement earrings are the best!
