Trend: Fancy Back Earrings

I think the rule of three can be thrown out here and detailed earring backs can be fully considered a trend. The first piece in this category that I was really drawn to was Pamela Love's Lapis Spike Earring that I wrote about in May. Since then I placed my order for a pair on Moda Operandi and have watched the trend grow. The styles of these earrings run the gamut from understated to over the top, but one thing's for sure; the arm party has moved North.

Spring Shopping Vol. 2

I am by no means edgy by nature, but sometimes I do get the urge to dress the part. I love relaxed, easy pieces, but I most definitely need some structure to suit my figure, which is why I've been drawn to vests lately. I love the unusual shape and supple texture of this suede version by Acne. Throw in some rose gold and lucite and you have a full look.
