From layering multiple gold chain necklaces to stacks of rings, more is definitely more. Say hello to an opulent, edgy mode of dressing your ears. Stackable ear cuffs. photography:ME | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | ear cuffs c/o:MAISON MIRU Dating back to a much more primitive era in history (as early as 2000 BC), the ear cuffs trend is a way to stack up the gold (or silver) in a less obvious direction. The look is avant grade and fierce, a perfect match for women who aren’t afraid of leaving a lasting impression. But, before you’re ready to take the plunge on multiple lobe and cartilage piercings, there is a way to try the trend with a little less commitment – it’s called the ear cuff. No piercing necessary, the ear cuff is a way to accessorize your …

If you were lucky enough to snag one, here’s some outfit inspo to help you incorporate the trend into your wardrobe. photography:ME | camera:CANNON 5D MARK III | pleated skort:NIKE Athleisure casual cool For the first look, keep it casual with this athleisure combo.

Both are truly so comfy, I was genuinely impressed, and very excited to get started on my LIVELY bra review. I almost never wear bras (sorry mom). …
