Peacock Hoop Earrings, £6
Accessorize
A certain someone came to the office wearing these last week. She picked them up on a weekend trip to London to visit her beau.

I was happy to see [...]
Well, I had to start somewhere.
These babies were featured on the home page of Etsy this evening. Perfect for a date with Jim Edmonds. Wranglers optional.
If my ears were still pierced, I’d be all over them. The grape soda ones are cute, too.
I almost wish you couldn’t see the word “Bud” — I wonder if [...]
