Teeny weeny earrings

When I am not wearing my Dinny Hall wave hoop earrings – like the good clean-cut mummy I am – I am wearing teeny weeny earrings. My friend Becky B, who has moved to LA and deserted me, the fucking bitch – comes back every now and again wearing the teeniest weeniest earrings you’ve ever seen. She also got an extra piercing up one ear, which looks terrific but personally I just can’t be bothered to do.

But teeny weeny earrings are perfectly fun and do not require Savlon or a cup of strong sweet tea for the shock.

Orelia do some really good ones, have a look in your nearest TopShop or John Lewis, which both have Orelia concession stands.

My favourites are these bar earrings, which are £12. Only in one ear, please – find something else equally microscopic for the other ear.

yes I *am* a little bit tired

A reader, Hannah, has alerted me in the comments below to a smaller and finer (and therefore better) pair of tiny bar studs are available from & Other Stories. They do look nice:

And only £7!

    &otherstories also do an excellent line in microscopically small stud earrings – I bought the “small bar studs” the other day, which are v similar to yours, and have already received compliments!

    Esther! I am so pleased you have another blog! At risk of sounding like a stalker (I’m not!) I saw you on Twitter with another cool earring on, a stud with multiple bits sticking off at the back? Where is this earring from? Also, I’ve just had a baby and my hair is falling out 😭, did this happen to you?

      1) Hurrah! It’s good to be back
      2) It’s fromTopShop! I don’t think they do those exact ones anymore but they will have others – it’s called an “ear jacket”
      3) YES hair falls out, grows back in jerky tufts, it’s very very annoying

    Woohoo! Name check!
    Nice bloggy website thing you clever clogs. When you start getting sent loads of cool shit then bear me in mind.
    I can be your LA correspondent like Ross King on Lorraine.
    So this month it’s all about scooping in LA. Getting your bagel or baguette scooped. You know when they scoop out the delicious springy bread centre out with their fingers leaving only the crust and fewer carbs.
    I’ll be back next month with my newest LA fad update. Xxxxxxxx
