I’ve really been on a stud earring kick recently. When necklaces started getting bigger and statement-ier, I ended up foregoing earrings altogether because I didn’t want to overdo it on the bling around my face. But now I realize that when my hair is pulled back, I really like a little something on my lobes. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, and it could even be something a little cheeky (like my pretzel studs).

The best part is I can keep my little collection of studs in a bowl on my bathroom sink and just grab a pair as I’m putting on my makeup. Of course, the challenge is making sure I find 2 of the same earring, but then again, mixing and matching is a thing now, right?

Anyway, over the past couple months I’ve been growing my little collection, and it’s mainly Shopbop‘s fault. They always have about a billion adorable stud options, and half a billion of those are super affordable. These are some of my current favorites. All are under $100, and most are under $50. Happy shopping, stud.
