NB: This post is not sponsored (I WISH it was!), I just really like the earrings.
I am a big fan of big earrings right now, but I often find that earrings made of metal can be heavy. So when I came across massive earrings made of leather I thought what a genius idea! I think I first saw the earrings on Audrey of Putting Me Together (my favourite blog right now, by the way) who had been gifted a couple of pairs because she shared a room with Kilee of One Little Momma at a blogging conference. Kilee is also the brains behind Nickel and Suede (and her blog is awesome too – go check it out!).
I wanted a pair of the earrings but I have been stung by shipping and customs charges from the US to the UK before, and on top of the cost of the actual earrings themselves I decided to look around for an alternative in the UK. Now, it turns out that no one in the UK makes anything remotely similar so I decided to just suck it up and buy the originals. I order two pairs (the London Tan Cut-Outs and the Silver Signature earrings, both in size Large. I’m glad I did go for two pairs because I was stung for customs charges, plus an £8 fee from our friends at Royal Fail, just for them processing and holding my mail (I thought that was your job, Royal Fail?).
They are super lightweight to wear and the London Tan pair especially go with absolutely everything. They have had a LOT of wear since I got them.
So I would definitely recommend purchasing if you are in the US (and sometimes there are discounts and promotions available too) but unless I am feeling particularly flush I won’t be purchasing any more pairs (although I do have a birthday coming up, and I think the leopard print pair are especially awesome so you never know…).
