Love This! - Dannijo Umbilical Bracelet

I'm in love with these bracelets, which are a collaboration between blogger Leandra Medine (Manrepeller.com) and designers Danielle and Jodie Snyder of Dannijo.  How fun are these?

Charming Catherine

If you are anything like me, then you may just be extremely obsessed interested in what Catherine the Dutchess of Cambridge (formerly Kate Middleton) wears when she's out and about (I'm super excited about seeing what she's going to wear on her trip to Canada and the US - they are on their way over as we speak).  Recently, she was handing out medals on Armed Forces Day and her bracelet caught my eye.

Hmmm, she's sporting a single charm, engraved (with a C and a crown!) bracelet.  So simple and chic!  I have a few charm bracelets in my jewlery box and it's like feast or famine with my wearing them.  I either can't wear them enough or they just sit there for weeks months at a time.  I may just be putting them back in rotation again after seeing this.  I picked out a few options in silver and gold, all of them are under $100 - except that darn Tiffany one smack dab in the middle of the silver choices.  You can't do a post about charm bracelets and not include at least one option from Tiffany.  What do you think, do you like charm bracelets?

I want this! - pyramid jewelry

I keep seeing pyramid jewelry everywhere.   I like it because it's edgy and sophisticated all at the same time.  Perhaps inspired by a combination of punk rock and the granddaddy of super lux/tough bracelets, the Hermes Collier de Chien (retailing for around $1,025)?

Well here are a few slightly more budget friendly options:

I want this! - Kate Spade bangles

I saw this behind the scenes Lonny Magazine video recently featuring Deborah Lloyd, who is Kate Spade's Co-President and Creative Director, and I was totally obsessed with her bangle bracelets.  It's literally all I could focus on. 


Now, I'm not a bangle person at all, I blame this on my job.  I use a Wacom tablet with my CAD system (I even have a tablet for my own computer) and bracelets of any sort just seemed to get in the way, I always ended up taking them off (and I don't like them clanking around my watch that I wear on my other arm).   Bottom line, I have issues - LOL!  But now that I'm not working outside the home, maybe I should give them another try.  Here are my favorites from Kate Spade, naturally:
