MOMMA NEEDS… ear cuffs and earrings that don’t dangle!

I love jewelry as much as the next person… Perhaps even more… But life after baby has meant storing so much of my beloved jewelry in fear of it scratching little one or getting ripped out by little one… Fortunately, ear cuffs and earrings that are cropped closely to the ear are everywhere right now and there are plenty of options which give me my jewelry fix while also preventing any possible accidents. Children are like magpies – if it sparkles, dangles or shines they want it – so these earrings are great because you get the sparkle and shine without the accessibility! Ear cuffs are basically earrings which hug the ear – they can be clipped on to the upper part of the ear or they can frame the lobe in various ways. Also very popular is giving earring backs a bit of attention – you won’t lose these puppies because they’re as much a part of the earring at the front – you know business in the front, party in the back. They’re creative, eye catching and give you that bit of sparkle without putting you or your little one in any unfortunate predicament… Ear cuffs and earrings that don’t dangle are not only stylish and on trend but practical too – and what mom doesn’t like to (or have to) multi-task! Here are some of the hottest in ear jewels available!

MOMMA LOVES… arm candy (cuffs, bracelets & bangles)

I do, I love arm candy. I’m not even talking about my very favorite arm candy (my husband and baby boy) I’m talking about the bangle, bracelets and cuffs that are part of my uniform. Often layered, sometimes less so – this arm candy is a part of my look and it certainly turns something simple such as jeans and a t-shirt or a little black dress into an outfit. So simple yet transformative. I have my Cartier Love bracelets given to me by my before mentioned favorite arm candy which I wear every day and then I love to add to them with Hermes cuffs (my favorite being my Colier de Chien) but depending on my mood or look of the day this can change from rock n’ roll spikes to something far more delicate and feminine. Fashionistas and celebrities love stacking on the bling to create a great look and so can you! Check out some of my favorite arm candy below and start thinking about how you might wear it…

MOMMA WANTS… alphabet jewelry

On my wish list for the holidays is a diamond pave letter M earring in honor of my darling son Max. I generally don’t wear big chunky fashion jewelry, I prefer personal jewelry that I wear every day and has special meaning to me. My little one’s initial that will make me smile throughout the day (and is a to less painful than a tattoo). Here are some of my favorite alphabet jewelry to pay homage to our loved ones while adding a bit of sparkle to our look.
