MJ trying to be all Tom Binns

Marc Jacobs has missed the mark (sorry) yet again with his jewellery line. For someone who is so amazing with clothes - I don't understand what is going on with the jewellery line.

Take these earrings for example. If he had brought these out a year or 2 ago, no problem. But they are so similar to the quirky Tom Binns aesthetic that it borders on sad.

Anyway, if you still like them you can buy from Net-a-Porter for US $39.13.

**TWITTERIFIC TUESDAY** LA Native - Flying Earth Earrings

Okay, so every Tuesday I am going to bring you jewellery from someone I find through Twitter.  Today it is a gorgeous pair of earrings from the fabulous duo at LA Native.  Their designs really capture the essence of LA, with a hippie/American Indian vibe.

I love these earrings, perfect for cruising around this summer in denim shorts, a white singlet and a cute headscarf (Nicole Richie style).

Buy from their Etsy store for US$58.

That's Some Good Voodoo, Meghan!

I discovered Meghan T the other day on Twitter (a veritable treasure trove of talent).  I was pleasantly surprised to find some very colourful and unique creations (inspired by the Caribbean) in her Etsy store.  

Perhaps it's my fascination with the Caribbean, but I absolutely love these little 'witch doctor' earrings.  Plus, they're limited edition so chances are, you're the only one you know with these babies.

Buy through Etsy for a steal at US$39.

Piratey-Goodness

It's not like we've never seen a diamante skull and cross bones before, so what makes these earrings from Vivienne Westwood so appealing?  The answer is, I don't know - they just ARE.

Perhaps it's because they're so tiny?  And a cool rock alternative to the traditional diamond stud.

For me, fashion is all about juxtaposition, so I think these would look absolutely adorable as a twist to a fairly preppy-pretty outfit, or to glam up a t-shirt and jeans.  

Buy from Net-a-Porter for £47.83.

Loving the Dirty Librarians

Since discovering the brand Dirty Librarians Chains I have fallen in love with their slightly off-beat creations, such as these 14K gold plated vintage banana earrings.  

Everything is handmade in Brooklyn, NY and completely unique.  Not what you would expect from such reasonable prices.

No wonder Susan Domelsmith's creations are being spotted on everyone from Kate Hudson to Debby Harry.

Buy these through Shopbop for US$74. Awesome.

Alexis Bittar Waterfall Earring

I understand completely how these earrings got their name.  As soon as I saw them, I was overcome by a desperate urge to throw myself off a waterfall if I could not have them.  And I don't even wear earrings.

The way I see it, US$295 is pretty reasonable if it means I'm not going to launch myself off a waterfall.

I have three words left to say.  Add. To. Bag.
