My Never Ending Obsession With Jennifer Fisher's Mini Mini Creations


Jennifer Fisher mini mini triangle earrings, Ksubi tee, aviators (similar here)

Tiny earrings that are almost invisible to the eye until a glimmer of light hits the precious metals just right. It turns out these gold Jennifer Fisher Mini Mini earrings are harder to shoot than I ever thought.   I'm wearing the triangle ones, but it's hard to tell without violating your personal space and giving you an extreme close up of my ear lobe. So I spared you, and instead choose to write about my love for these in plain words accompanied by a single photo taken at an appropriate distance.

"Why even bother with such tiny pieces of jewelry" some have asked me.

Well, I say, it's because they're completely charming. You hold them in your hand and they are just so intricately crafted (and small!) that you start to wonder how mixing and matching all these shapes will look. They are just the right size for multiple pierced ears. And in true Mexican form, I had all six of my ear piercings done when I was a wee baby — obviously not my idea, but in retrospect a stroke of genius on my aunt's behalf. Seeing how beautiful the gold looks you will start to wonder how beautifully quirky the diamond lighting bolts will shine. 

In a word, they are perfect. My expectations for minimal, feminine, and modern are met and depending on which you go for, they won't break the bank. The traingle mini mini's are just $100 for 14k gold.

Back in the Bay Area after a week at home and I'm confounded by the temperature change. Los Angeles and the Bay Area's idea of summer are two very different things. For one, in LA, I would never dream of layering tights under my cut off shorts. But here we are, layering away our summer's finest. Alexa Chung, queen of leggy shorts (evidence here, here, here), I'm looking to you and instances like this for inspiration.

City Festival

While many of us don't have a short shorts type of workplace, where you can parade around the office with about 2-inches of fabric between you and your crotch, most of us do have that kind of weekend freedom. Because this is America, thats why. So in our free time you can choose to dress like this, taking cues from the people at Coachella. Like Kate Bosworth, or Arizona Muse

You can wear extremely short Ksubi shorts with a paisley print Peul & Jose sister silk-blend blouse and still look refined. The chain bag is the perfect way to keep things lady-like, so do it with something a) cute and b) miniature like the Mulberry cookie mini bag. It's scalloped and has a chain bag. Adorable! The Cutler and Gross clear acetate sunglasses are a nod again to the hippie-ness going on in Coachella, while the Zara embellished T-bar flats are just plain beautiful.

I know it's barely Tuesday, so maybe just wear this with a pair of skinny jeans in the mean time, alright?
