Etsy Find: Bunny Earrings

If there is one other animal besides sloths that I adore, it is bunnies. My love for bunnies stems from a long standing regret of not buying the awesomest pair of Converse sneakers with bunnies on them. The inside of the shoes even had the words "bunnies are never not awesome" printed on the lining.
Anyhow, whenever there is a special event/ gift giving occasion I take the opportunity to flat out tell my boyfriend what I want. So well before our aniversary I told him that I wanted bunny earrings and so he got me these studs, for more photos, click......

Etsy Find: Infinity Ear Cuff From Royal Countess

Ear Cuffs are today's new clip-on earrings, and the variety of ear cuffs available gives endless possibilities of self expression. These cuffs slip on to your ear and can be positioned anywhere along the cartilage. It is an easy way to add some edge to your ear without going through painful and scary permanent piercings.

I actually have my cartilage pierced and I love it; however I keep loosing the earring. So I thought that maybe an ear cuff would be much easier to wear, and much easier to find if I drop it. I really enjoy a minimalist style and thus chose this lovely infinity cuff in gold from Royal Countess on etsy. It slips on easily and I can't even feel that I'm wearing it. The only issue I had was adjusting it to my ear size; it was a bit tough to shape.

There are many other options out there, both online at Etsy and in various stores like Claire's, Urban Outfitters and Top Shop. You can get ear cuffs with dangling trinkets, ones that are attached to a earring via a chain, or ones that cover most of your ear. You can even find some that hang on your ear that look like spikes coming out from behind.

What do you think of the whole trend? Would you wear an ear cuff or are some just too much?

Etsy Find: Infinity Scarf from EcoShag

Etsy has always been one of my favorite places to shop for cute and unique items that I am unable to get from other places, especially since buying handmade local stuff can get really pricey. When I can, I like to stick it to the man and support the individuals out there.

Now on to one of my latest purchases, a wonderful infinity scarf scarf in ochre and grey for $28.50 USD from EcoShag.

What I like about EcoShag is the nice amount of choice you have between fabrics and patterns for a number of different styles. The seller was extremely nice and helpful and makes all the wonderful scarves by hand and donates a portion of the proceeds to braintumor.org and humanesociety.org.

This scarf is versatile and soft and comfy to wear. I wear it almost everyday with my outfits to add some warmth in the cold months. I love the look created by the two separate colors coming together. The scarf was much more affordable than some other scarves I have seen in stores. Also, the quality of the scarf just can't be matched by machine-made ones. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and experience with EcoShag.
