Big Bang Theory

I don't know if I'm the only one whose noticed that bangles are everywhere this spring...I mean really!

Even my mom got in on the action and went and got me a nice gold bangle (costume jewelry...I have a tendency of losing things so she still doesn't trust me).

It really hit when I was browsing through Elle Accessories two days ago...that's when I realized that they are everywhere...and I'm determined to grow upon my budding little collection =) So far the only bangles I own are the ones available at Strawberry's (that just a New York thing? Do ya'll have Strawberry Stores out there?) and the wooden ones that i snagged at the Marc Jacobs accessories sale a couple of weeks ago.

Anywhoo...if I had my way my arms would be decked out...

I mean bangles look cutest when stacked, non?

I really love these bangles from Henri Bendel but spending between $68-$118 on ONE bracelet is a bit hard for me (especially when $68 is what I'm living off of practically every two weeks).

For those of us on a budget, Claire's works wonders! I know ya'll remember Claire's (and if you don't what were you doing when you were little? Even as a tomboy, I embraces Claire's...my poor cousin was my excuse all the time).

This pink flowered bangle is sooo cute! Florals are "in" aren't they for spring, so there you have it. If you want the trend without the commitment accessories are your best option. This can be paired with a nice flirty spring dress, say with this Binetti Beatle Dress:

Wasn't sheer and lace a big thing on the Spring runway à la Jil Sander? Here's how to do sheer the fashionable (and reasonable) way. See you just tackled three trends without even trying!
These gold bangles are good for everyday wear. Pair these slim cuties with a nice top, jeans, and either pumps or cute ballet flats and- voila! Insta-chic!

Or simply let the bracelet do the talking...literally. Like these Jessica Kagan resin bracelets with catchy little phrases, such as:

'When I'm Good I'm Very Good'; 'Truly Fabulous People Never Get Dressed Before Lunchtime'; and 'You can agree with me or you can be wrong'

Cute, right? But they aren't cheap...$125...per bangle (I know I know, I promised cheap but I just had to share!)

Enjoy!
