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!

Does this sound like you?: You wake up and jump out of your blah wood bed in your boring plaid pj’s and eat boring, circular sunnyside up eggs every morning, carefully dabbing at egg on your chin with a white cloth napkin. You run out the door, but not before grabbing your practical black umbrella from your 40-year old wood coatrack.

Um… HELLO, can your life get any more boring and blah?? I want to help you fight those blahsy boring everydaynesses with some shots of Quirky and Fun and Humorous! Eat your gun-shaped fried eggs and wash it down with your mustache-y pint of OJ! Get a view of a relatively clear blue sky under your umbrella while singing in the rain! Water your favorite orchid with a water IV pot! I know, I know… -and you know it, too!- that it would be Awesome!

Not only would your life improve*, but your friends would also come by a lot more often! Just to be amused and awed by your necktie napkins or your conversation starter, elegant popmat placemats.

I have some more quirkified everyday objects on my guide to all things fun and humorous at Quirky Versions of Everyday Things for your contined amusement. The moose butt trophy hanger makes me laugh EVERY TIME. Enjoy!

* Life improving is not actually guaranteed, but, really, how could it not?

In a perfect world, I would be able to eat breakfast at every meal.   Nothing fancy- just any variation of the lovely, classic morning combo: eggs, toast, and bacon.  In my quest for all things breakfasty, I found this amazing crocheted breakfast scene on etsy.com

I also found some time-saving, space-saving, amazingly cute breakfast items that will ensure a great start to any day.  I don’t think you’ve lived until you belong to the Bacon of the Month Club.  Check out the rest of my list:   I Love Breakfast
