HAIRSTYLES FOR EVERY EARRING

Hair Fix: Hairstyles for Every Earring

Maybe even more so than a great necklace, I’ve realllyyy got a thing for earrings. But with so many different shapes and sizes (don’t even get me started on how long it took me to explain what an ear jacket was to Adam..), it’s good to have a few simple hairstyles mastered that let each pair really shine. So I teamed up with AOL’s StyleList to show you just that.

FOR STATEMENT EARRINGS:

The most dramatic, these always call to mind Old Hollywood glam for me – even if you’re dressing them down. I like to do a deep side part, soft curls and pin just one side back to let the earring really show. (p.s. hover over each pair for more info)

FOR SMALL STUDS:

Small on size but not on style, these are perfect for everything from the office to your weekend runaround. I like to pair mine with an equally no fuss hairstyle like a half pulled back look. Don’t worry if a few face framing pieces fall out, it adds to the throw it on and go feel.

FOR LINEAR/TASSELS:

Long and full of movement, these styles beg to shake it off on the dance floor. Or at the very least, be seen. They already call attention to your face (making them perfect for a romantic date!) so I like to let linear or tassel styles be the focus and pair with a sleek, low ponytail. Extra points if you wrap the ponytail holder with a small piece of hair from underneath!

And when you have help from actual experts? All the better.

The Steele Maiden: Lake Lovatnet, Stryn NorwayAfter a relaxing long weekend, this image is exactly where my head’s at. I spent most of my time off here in the city, which allowed me to do some exploring. And since it’s finallyyyy feeling a bit like Spring, some window shopping too. Can you blame me?

Get the Look: How to Style a Vintage T-Shirt

As far as wardrobe heroes go, a vintage t-shirt is probably one of the most underrated. I mean sure, it gets the weekends. But what about the workdays? I teamed up with AOL Style List to show you how I style my favorite tee (scored at No Relation in the East Village) for the office.

5 MINUTE ESCAPE

Ahh.. Friday.  Now that the new site is up (hurrah!) and I’m settled into my half marathon training, I’m looking forward to relaxing this weekend and enjoying the first bit of Spring weather. Maybe it’s the change of the season but I’ve got a major travel itch lately. How dreamy are the streets of Cordoba, Spain – pictured above? And if I were to be taking a trip, I’ve got my eye on some pretty new wardrobe additions. Continue reading “5 MINUTE ESCAPE”
