Singled out for special notice was the designer Zac Posen, who features “earrings so long that they wound around the neck.” Sure enough, the pics I’ve seen of the the “2009 Ready-To-Wear” collection show models decked out in gorgeous large earrings. Did you get the “gorgeous” part? I for one am ready to risk ear-corrective surgery if someone tosses me a pair of Posen dangles!

The other designer mentioned was Louis Vuitton. Drool drool! I’ve looked a looked for a picture of these £580 wood and resin earrings but I can’t find one (readers, please help me out!). Something tells me I’d be saying the the same thing about these as the Posen pretties.

Bottom line: fashion can be dangerous.

Maybe I’m not enough of a fashionista to appreciate the author’s comment that these CC Skye hoops are “tired looking earrings.”  Appparent imnotobsessed wasn’t crazy about them either: “its almost as if those things have been soldered to her ear lobes.”  Yikes!

The good news is (from my point of view) is that 2threads.com reports that big hoop earrings are the big trend for spring 2009.  “Oversized hoops are being used in case of gold, metal and sterling silver.  From sweats to cocktail dresses, these hoops are the new fashion trend.” Hey, if Anne Hataway is wearing them, they must be cool!
