WELCOME BACK HOOPS!

Cate Blanchett in W (June 2010)

After a somewhat lengthy absence from the high fashion scene, hoop earrings are back with a vengeance. Having graced nearly every major magazine cover in the last few months, hoops big or small are a 'must have' piece of jewelry at the moment. Of course whatever look makes the cover is the look that everyone wants. And hoops are it!

One celebrity leading the hoop revolution (or comeback) is the fabulous Jennifer Lopez. Hoops have become her signature look, especially when combined with a little sparkle. To get Jennifer's look, we suggest Kenneth Jay Lane's pave hoops or, for a smaller version, Lisa Freede's huggies (Angelina Jolie wears them!).

Kate Moss wore hoops on the cover of Paris Vogue's June issue looking gorgeous in the sun and styled in black and gold. Is there a better combination? We think not: that's why we love CC Skye's "Power" hoops!

There are always classic gold hoops, like the ones worn by Gisele on the cover of Vogue's April issue. Every woman must have a pair of simple gold hoops in her accessory drawer. But if you already have the simple gold ones, try something a little edgier, like CC Skye's hoops with spikes.

Spikes have been on the forefront of fashion for a while now (thanks to Balmain) and they are still going strong. The retro punk glam styling on Zink's cover also reminds us of CC Skye. We just love this spike and hoop combo: it's gold, glam and just a little dangerous!
