It’s no secret that I love shopping. Especially with the seasons changing, I feel like my spending has been at an all time high. There’s just so many pretty dresses and shoes calling my name ? ha! But seriously, I’ve been on a roll lately. So I figured that today’s New York Minute would be a perfect place to share all the stores/online boutiques that I’ve been loving this season, as well as my favorite trend going into the summer— statement earrings! I have been on such an earring kick lately, and have scooped up at least one colorful pair each time I’ve gone shopping. Now a  lot of these stores below are my faves all year long, but some of them have really surprised me with their new releases this season, and I’ve been shopping there more than usual. Let’s get into it shall we?

These are the earrings that I mentioned a few WeeklyRewinds ago, and I’m still obsessed. I’ve been LOVING yellow for summer this year, so combining that color with the style of these statement earrings was a match made in heaven for me. I feel like they just brighten up any outfit and really make you look summer-ready. Here’s a similar pair since it appears that these are no longer available, but they’re super cute as well. I paired them with this adorable chambray dress from Forever 21 (which has pockets!!), and these super comfy and casual sandals from Target. My exact pair is from last year but here’s a SUPER similar pair for under $20!!
