Bracelet Fever

The other day I passed a girl on the escalator wearing a flawless combination of bracelets on her wrist. It got me thinking how very bare my wrists have been the past couple of...oh, I dunno...years. I am pretty picky when it comes to jewelry styling. Not to mention, I manage to lose/break every piece of jewelry that I buy, so its no wonder I can't seem to keep my hands covered for more than a week.

What I loved most about the girl's bracelet combination was the fact that she paired chunky with elegant, bohemian with chic (which may sound like a disaster but really wasn't). She paired a diamond-looking tennis-ish bracelet with a couple of those funky leather cord bracelets, some bangles, and a small silver cuff. They all worked well together.

Now here are a couple of west-hollywood starlets who aren't afraid to wear their bracelets...


I wonder whether they utilize what I call the grab-and-go approach or if their choices are more meticulous than that. I think it's almost better to make it look like you had a grab-and-go approach by intentionally pairing different styles together in a way that works...the grab-and-faux! (okay, okay, I'll keep working on the name)

Next time you're in a store and you see a bracelet you like, just buy it. Don't try to figure out what outfit it goes with or whether or not you have other bracelets to pair it with. By doing this you can expand your jewelry-drobe and one day take on the infamous grab-and-go fake-out approach.

Oh, one more thing...theres a difference between "doing it" and "overdoing it" (sorry Chlo, I love you and all but this is a major pet peeve of mine...)


As much as I love wrist ornamentation...there is such a thing as too many bracelets (just keep that in mind)
