the cutest teeniest tiniest earrings ever



i came across catbird's lowercase stud earrings on daily candy a while back and couldn't get them out of my head. so i fiiiiiiiiiiinally stopped torturing myself a few weeks ago and ran over to the catbird store in williamsburg to pick myself up a little teeny tiny "d" for my second hole, along with two "w"s for my best friend - the first letter of her new last name. i got into work the next day and showed my coworker how cute they are and she, too, ran over to catbird to get herself a "m" for her first name and a "b" for her last name (one for each ear so when she introduces herself she just turns her head left and right, hilarious). and just yesterday i showed them to another coworker looking for a birthday gift for his girlfriend and he, too, ran over to catbird to get a pair of "c"s.

each stud is $28 in silver and $40 in 14k gold. the catbird store itself is also suuuuuuper cute and they have a really nice selection of jewelry, accessories and other small gifts. definitely worth the trek over to brooklyn (or cost of shipping from their online shop, if you're not lucky enough to have brooklyn only one stop away on the L train).

p.s. that's not me - photos are from catbird's website.

also an added bonus to the earings - when the 'm' and 'b' flip around to 'w' 'q' and you can go incognito...
