GRIPE...

I support the feather earring trend, and by the looks in stores and on fashionistas it is not going away anytime soon.  However, I do not support the wearing of feather earrings when they can touch your midsection!   While shopping I saw this window display at {Bebe} and I was like 'GRIPE'!  If you want to wear feathers around your bellybutton or your belt get the extension put in your hair.  Dragging your earlobes down this far is not a good look. 
This is a prime example of a trend gone TOO FAR.  Happy GRIPE!

Wish List...

While watching my weekly TV obsession, Gossip Girl this past Monday, I was captivated by character Serena's earrings.  They were coral, teal and gold, I was love struck.  So of course as most of us do, I went to the internet to immediately find out if they were in my price range.  Sad to announce, they are not.  They happen to be {OSCAR de la RENTA}; I take a large sigh, but $290 earrings are not in my budget, unless I rode the bus for a month and gave up cable.  Pondering.  They are stunning, floral etched coral, turquoise and jade set in 24-karat gold.  These earrings to me scream summer, and I immediately think of all the white outfits, denim chambray shirts and late nights with mojitos that I would enjoy them with.  Reminder to self, we are now in fall.  lol  Five more days till the next episode and new fashion accessory crush I am sure.
