REVIV(F)AL(L)

Free People Wide Leg Denim

Have you ever heard anyone say they HATE Fall? Me neither. Winter-yes (too cold), Summer- yes (too hot), Spring- maybe (allergies), but Fall? Like most everyone,  I LOVE Fall.  Granted, in San Diego, Fall is a little less dramatic....the chill in the air isnt nearly as distinct as the East Coast and the leaves- well that just doesn't compare but it's STILL Fall. Halloween approaches, we break out our boots and pumpkin lattes/muffins/scones/etc are abound (my absolute favorite!).

By now, hopefully you have viewed the Mimi & Lu Reviv(f)al(l) collection and maybe even purchased a piece or two to go with all the amazing fall fashions this year. As someone not usually enticed by trends- this falls flashback to the 70's trends are admittedly hard to resist. Basically, I love 'em. I've always loved them, but now they are just easier to find.

Fall brings on the cozy sweaters and colorful scarves, which brings me to the point of this blog entry; the inevitable missing earring. You may not have realized this, but a scarf and hoop earring are a disastrous combination. Every year, I get home an notice at some point during the evening, I started to look like a pirate. One hoop earring has jumped ship and it's the scarf's fault. With larger earrings that don't have a lot of give (ie a large hoop such as the Jumbo Misu seen the bottom left pic) that use a hook earwire (instead of a post) to attach to your ear, just a tilt of the head can pop the earring out as it pushes against the scarf.

I lied before when I said it's the scarf's fault. In all honestly, it's MY fault. All Mimi & Lu earrings come with a small rubber back and if those are used, your earring is sure to stay affixed, no matter how many scarfs try to chase it away.

Of course, we all run out the door at some point or another without the backings or may have lost those small, clear rubber backings. If this is the case, you can order extra rubber backings through Mimi & Lu- just email for details. Did you know you can also replace most Mimi & Lu earrings that may be missing their pair? Yes, you can just buy JUST one! Email if you have an earring that needs it's match and we'll send more details.

So secure your earrings, throw on your favorite fall outfit, grab a pumpkin latte and ENJOY FALL!
