what i want today: gold earrings, part two

i'm taking a little hiatus from all of the gifting today to be selfish. still on that gold earring hunt, so i thought i'd share a couple of gorgeous options i've come across recently.


gold studs always feel sort of blah to me, but i love the edginess of these pyramid studs by fallon. they have just enough of that punk vibe to keep them from being too boring, but they're subtle enough that you could easily pull them off at work. plus, scoring jewelry from barneys for $125 is pretty exciting all by itself.


these drop leaf earrings by wasabi - they'd be perfect to add a little something to a holiday outfit, without going all out into chandelier territory. plus, they're an incredibly reasonable $40, which is awfully tough to argue with.

what i want today: sparrow drop earrings by erica weiner

spied these in the september issue of lucky, and haven't stopped thinking about them a month later. by designer erica weiner, who i'm seriously loving more and more every time i check out her website. her pieces are unique, fun, quirky, and stylish....and ridiculously affordable.

seriously. the earrings? they're only $30. i should really just stop obsessing and order the darn things already!

snap 'em up here, and while you're at it, check out the other goodies. i love the twig necklace (and, for that matter, the twig earrings) and the rhino, which i know would make me smile every time i caught myself in the mirror. i'm also thinking (you know, since you're already ordering), you should pick up these gorgeous gold mesh bracelets. layer them and wear together, or put one away to gift for christmas. at $20 for two, that's math i have no trouble doing.
