The Bobble Detail Scarf is pumping me up!

The little bobble details on this scarf are reminiscent of grapes and this accessory is just as scrumptious. Try the neckwear in Bubblegum Pink, Oatmeal, or Lime (among other colors. My fave for fall is Duck Egg, a charcoalish blue, shown above). Shop tons of Fun Scarves for Fall and start rockin’ your new stole ASAP!

Tarina Tarantino has random taste! But so do most people.That’s why I really enjoy the designer’s jewelry line. She’s got a piece of jewelry to fit your every mood. If you’re feeling quirky, try the Labbit Hoop Earrings (part of the Kidrobot by Tarina Tarantino Collection). If you’re feeling romantic, bust out the Baroque Skull Multibead Necklace (as worn by Pink on the cover of Seventeen mag). If you’re feeling gangsta, throw on the Heart and Crystal ‘Things That Hurt’ Drop Earrings (also part of the Kidrobot Collection). Everything’s different, but it’s all girly, quirky, and fun! Totes cute! Check out my Necklaces and Earrings buyer’s guides, chockablockfull of my fave Tarina picks!

Word to the wise: It seems as if most of the Tarina pieces look smaller in pictures than they actually are. For example, the Long Peal Munny Necklace (Kidrobot Collection) looks tiny on its own, but on a model, it’s HUGE! Same with the Hello Kitty Mascot Drop Earrings. Don’t get me wrong. I love this!!! The bigger, the better! You know me! Just be warned.

Also, be aware that some of the Tarina jewelry is meant to be a surprise when you receive it. Meaning that while you (maybe) have the option to choose the color of your earrings, you’re not able to choose which charms will dangle from them (this is the case with the Things That Hurt earrings).

The Labbit Hoop Earrings, like the toys, are sold completely “blind,” a.k.a., you get no say in the matter at all. You get whatever color rabbits you get and that’s supposed to be “part of the fun!” I’m not too sure how I feel about this surprise factor when I’m dropping $120 on a pair of cigarette-smoking rabbit hoops. What do you think: Is the surprise fun or whack? VOTE NOW!

Guys have bad hair days too. I wear the same hat to work every day so I no one can see my messy crop of hair. Because I wear a hat so often, I’m very aware of other peoples’ hats, and have, as of late, become obsessed with all the crazy ones that are out there.

Some are crazy in a cool way (to see what I mean, check out the Bay Fitted Hats guide, which features fitted hats that represent the Bay Area, and the Pop Culture Fitted Hats guide, which are for those with very unique tastes), some are crazy in a not-cool-anymore way (see I’m So Cool, I Can Still Wear Trucker Hats guide) and some are just crazy in a crazy way (see Crazy Party Hats guide).

P.s. I love hats.

Never thought I’d say this, guys. . .but I’m feelin’ plastic jewelry! Yeah, these pieces are flat, usually monochrome, and could be interpreted as “punk”ish, but lots of the acrylic laser cut jewelry I’ve seen is super-chic, intricate, and pretty. Some is pretty humorous, too (see Badass Bride Acrylic Knuckles and Very Sad Egg Head Ring). I wanted to see how this type of jewelry was made, so I did a (superquick) search for a laser cutter going at some acrylic. It’s pretty cray-cray. Click here to check it out.

I added a TON of cutesy-cool laser cut jewelry I liked to my Laser Cut Trinkets buyer’s guide. I’m thinking of hollering at the Big Star earrings and perhaps getting a Custom Name Plate Necklace for myself- what do you think? (I must have become attracted to this look a while ago; see the sexy Blue Mirrored Obama Necklace in my Obama Gear for Gals guide!)

I often like to go back through the Kazowie.com shopper’s guides I’ve turned out in the past to see if my taste in clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories has remained consistent. For the most part, one can tell that all the products on my various guides were hand-picked by the same person. (See: Foxy Fringe, Hot Headbands, and Tie Dye Mania!). Of course, there’s always the occasional powder pink Burberry checked scarf that has me wondering what I was thinking that day. (a.k.a. I should have had that extra cup of coffee!)

Looking through my old lists today, I was inspired to combine the trends of two unrelated guides that I created, Pretty Black Jewelry and Springtime Fresh Nail Polish, and create a cool look for Spring that I’m definitely going to try. Gothy/funky/punky black jewelry paired with girly/chalky/pastely Easter egg nails? I think it’s a pretty interesting and unexpected combo.

Been there, done that? How did it go? I haven’t tried it yet, so I’ll let you know how it works out for me.
