current obsession: kate spade earrings (light amethyst studs)

Several months back now, there was a short trip taken to the Frankenmuth area. During that little getaway (which you can read about here) there was a stop off at an outlet mall. Though I was not shopping for anything in particular, a pair of Kate Spade earrings caught my eye at the outlet. There was just something about them. The sparkle! The shine! The colour! It really was love at first sight. To be fair, there were quite a few items at the Kate Spade outlet store that I fell in love with...but the earrings were within my budget. They cost about $20 CDN and offered a little taste of luxury for less. These are definitely an obsession.

There is a lot to love about Kate Spade accessories. Some are whimsical and others are totally over the top. Then there are the oversized studs, which are always a hit. There are a few different versions of these in my jewellery collection currently: a pink pair and a white pair. Both are super sparkly! Well, when I saw the cubic zirconia studs in that beautiful purpose shade...there was no doubt that the earrings would come home with me. The colour was so beautiful and the studs had such a gorgeous shine. Unlike the other studs that I have from Kate Spade, these are not sparkly or glittery, but are super reflective.

According to the brand, these Brilliant Statements Tri Prong Studs came in the shade Light Amethyst. There were two other versions shown on the website as well (clear and multi-coloured) but the light amethyst is without question the standout. I love how reflective these are and the fact that the colour is so different from the other earrings in my current collection. I have lots of white, pink, black, and even pop culture inspired items...but this particular shade of purple was different. These earrings are fairly sizable and definitely make a statement. The quality is nice, the design is beautiful, and thanks to shopping at the outlet, these were quite reasonably priced. I love a lot of Kate Spade items, so it is always a real treat when I am able to add something special (and sparkly) to my life. These earrings were the perfect addition to my jewellery collection and my life.

What do you think of these earrings? Are you a fan of Kate Spade items?
