Drop, dead, gorgeous earrings.

Accessorising is essential. It is like going to a party and not having your hair done. Accessories may only be a small fraction of an outfit, but they are what makes the look so special and unique!

So, what is in? Drop earrings. As seen on Eva Longoria and Fan Bing Bing at this years Cannes Film Festival, they are a must for the summer. Especially when wearing denim waistcoats or shorts, not just for night outs, but they are a cool way to spruce up your day-to-day wear, to leave an edgy feel. Having your hair pulled back in a high ponytail or a high, messy bun and showing off your new, dangling earrings is the way to go with the look. Top designers like Bottega Veneta and Emilio Pucci have a fabulous range. If you are worrying about the price, there is no need to fear, as I have found the best, must-have pieces at reasonable, high-street prices.

Freedom at Topshop seems to have an extremely cool range of long, triangle and arrow drop earrings. From casual wear like these triangle arrow drops,

to this elegant, stylish pair of multi triangle drop earrings. Both pairs of earrings are only £8.50.

Or why not go for these delicate brushed heart short drops from Accessorize for only £4.

As tribal wear is another ‘in’ look, why not go for this pair of silver tone triple row spike drop earrings from River Island for £9, to shake up your outfit.

But out of all the drop earrings I found, my favourite, essential pair are these white wooden skull earrings from River Island. For just £4, they are a bargain!

Just by adding a pair of these long, petite, dangling earrings can transform any outfit to an elegant, chic look in just a few seconds, so why not treat yourself and indulge in a gorgeous pair?
