Love Bugs

Creepy crawlies get less creepy with the latest trend in accessories. Bugs are making appearances on earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

There are a variety of buggy jewels available, ranging from super splurge prices to affordable chic. No matter your price range, look for pieces that are shiny, encrusted in jewels and brilliant colors. Look for pretty bugs and stay away from realistic bugs.

Popular bugs in fashion include the scarabee/scarab, the bee, the beetle, the lady bug and the simple generic "bug" or "insect."

You can wear bug accessories with a casual, oversized sweater and jeggings, or you can wear the embellished pieces out at night to add some fun to your look. The fancier pieces from Bottega Veneta are red carpet ready (or, in reality, perfect for fancy dinners and dates).
