No I haven't made a typo in the title. And yes my ghetto girl tastes are about to be truly revealed in this post. How? Because I'm about to reveal my absolute lust for the biggest and tackiest of earrings.
To be honest I'll never really leave the house without a pair of large earrings (unless I'm wearing a statement necklace). However, by watching some black American reality TV shows my fetish for them has increase tenfold.
It all began during an episode of Basketball Wives. The first thing I noticed about Evelyn Lodaza were her earrings.
She was rarely ever seen without a pair of huge hoops embellished with crystals in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes.
The more shows I watched, the more people I saw them on, like Emily from Love & Hip Hop.

I've never seen them in a shop in the UK, or even in any shop when I was in Florida. So like any other 21st century girl does, I asked my trusted friend. Mr Google (how I love him). So after a couple of searches I found out that they are a particular brand called POParazzi earrings and they are sold HERE
I honestly love these in all their unadulterated tacky glory.
I wanted to get some from the official website but who has roughly £42 to spend on a pair of earrings? If you do then I suggest you also have a look at this online store: http://celebboutique.com/accessories-en-2-3/jewellery-en-2.html
Celebboutique offers something a bit different as they've added spikes to some of their earrings which are very on trend for the moment. Seriously, if my Christmas present hadn't already been bought I'd be asking for a pair of these.
I know you're all seriously judging me at the moment...
For the girl who is still paying off her overdraft (like me) I suggest you have a look on Amazon. I found these and the price agrees with my teaching assistant paypacket lol
They're less than half price at £17.99...so maybe I'll get two pairs?
To be honest, I don't know if my chubby face can carry this off. Maybe I'll wait until I get my weave back. All I know is that I'll own these...by hook or by crook.
Thanks for coming on this journey of ghetto accessorising with me. Its been a pleasure :)
I also have a thing for big ghetto earrings lol and I particularly like HUGE gold hoops. I actually really like those Amazon ones! Thanks for this, I think I'm gonna make a purchase :D

I've found some pretty cheap ones on eBay too, if you type 'poparazzi earrings' there's a lot of styles inspired by them.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister also loves hoop earrings, so I was looking for some online, and I came across these so called poparazzi earrings and showed them to her. She loved them, so I ordered them for her birthday, and she has been practically wearing them every day. I am still a little confused what they are called though. What are poparazzi earrings?
ReplyDeletePOParazzi earrings are the name of the brand that sell the shamballa style earrings. There is no particular style but they are usually quite big, glitzy and in your face lol.
