Ear Party.

Statement earrings have returned and are having a major fashion moment this Spring/ Summer 2012. (Thank goodness because I am so over the "arm party" trend.) It is the one accessory you should pick up to update your wardrobe this season if you don't already have a pair. Check them out on the spring runways.

At Dolce and Gabbana...

At Bottega Veneta...

At Jil Sander...

At Oscar de la Renta...

At Emilio Pucci...

And at Ralph Lauren...

5 Reasons to Love Statement Earrings:

1) We are all guilty of pulling our hair away from our face during the warmer months. (Let's face it, sometimes it feels like a hat and it's just too hot!) Earrings will glam up your simple ponytail or bun.

2) Showcase a beautiful, and often overlooked, feature: your neck! It can be a very elegant and feminine look, especially for evening- a la Ralph Lauren.

3) Statement earrings can elevate an otherwise casual look. Add a pair to your white t-shirt and jeans combination and head out the door! (Don't forget a fabulous pair of shoes to complete the ensemble.)

4) It's all in the details. Use a pair of earrings to work spring color into a neutral outfit. This is a great way to wear the earring trend at the office. Try a pair with your blazer and a low cut camisole- a la Oscar de la Renta.

5) No matter what your personal style is, there is a pair out there for you. (Let me know here if you need help finding the perfect pair.)

Designer Miguel Ases makes my favorite earring styles because they are sparkly, lightweight, and make a huge impact. As I write this I am wearing these, which I was lucky enough to score on Gilt. Pricy but SO me. I can't wait to wear them all summer long!
