Rhinestone Vine Ear Cuff (via @Forever21)

Lately I've been loving the ear cuff trend and wanted to share an amazing pair I snagged earlier in the week from Forever21. The rhinestone vine ear cuff retails for $4.90 (a steal!) and is a great way to make an outfit pop. During the day I noticed a slight bit of discomfort at the top of my ear and realized I had attached the cuff too tight and in a sensitive spot. After a few tweaks I was fine, so it's not a real reason to not purchase.

Anthropologie Statement Earrings...

Big thanks to Sophia at Kiffe Coco for her post on her fab Anthropologie earrings... because I never knew the retailer had such a nice selection! The prices are on the higher side, but the unique designs seem to have the quality and character I look for. I've only perused Anthropologie a handful of times, but I'll be sure to give their jewelry section a closer look.

Some of my favorite pieces....

Chiapas Earrings - $148.00

Equilibrium Play Hoops - $38.00

Jelly Bean Hoops - $34.00




Polygonal Earrings - $128.00

Sidebar: Did anyone watch the Basketball Wives reunion show and see Evelyn going off on Meeka about who was rocking their signature earrings first? Lol... absolutely hilarious.

Haji Couture

Designer Aya-Nikole Cook


Haji Couture was a featured designer at this year's GenArt Shop Chicago event. The brainchild of designer Aya-Nikole Cook, Haji Couture was established in 2006 as a small feather earrings line. Since then she has branched out to include hair accessories, cuffs, and necklaces (just to name a few).

I was blown away by her unique designs; I literally have never seen anything like it before. The beautiful blend of feathers, vibrant colors popping out, and great workmanship had me sold and becoming another instant fan of Cook's designs.

While they are on the expensive side, you are investing in a stunning piece of jewelry that is so artistically creative and one of a kind, it's well worth the price.
