We recently concluded our first-ever Facebook style contest. We asked participants to upload a picture of an outfit that they thought would look great with these earrings from our banana collection.
The earrings are oxidized silver with beaded accents.
Our winning entry came from Robyn W., who uploaded a picture (below) and this comment:
I love these earrings! You ladies are so talented! I think they would look lovely with this dress because it is so girly and the earrings would add a little edginess! Love 'em!
Here's the dress that Robyn would pair with these earrings:

Congratulations, Robyn!
Stay tuned for our next Facebook style contest. In the meantime, become a fan, here:
