Celebrity Accessory Report: Bold Bracelets

Marisa Tom — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:00:15 PST

While we're always trying to reinvent the accessorizing wheel, there's nothing like showcasing a bold bracelet or cuff on your arm. Michelle Williams donned a sleek gold buckled bracelet at a My Week With Marilyn screening, Heidi Klum opted for an exotic snake cuff adornment at her Toronto fragrance launch, and Blake Lively stacked her favorite colorful and oversized Lorraine Schwartz bracelets at a MoMA film benefit. By adorning your wrist with one wide, chunky, too-awesome-for-words bracelet, you don't have to worry about doing much else in the way of piling on accessories. Follow suit on this wrist candy statement trend and click through to see even more ways celebrities are wearing it. Plus, shop our editors' picks at the end of the slideshow!

DIY One (or Two) Bracelets For National Friendship Day

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:36:13 PDT

Life is nothing without friends. It might sound like an over-dramatized statement, but who would we be if we didn't have a buddy to play with in elementary school, a loyal friend to help us go through those (annoying) growing pains in middle school, a BFF to hang with all throughout high school, and a college gal pal to talk you through boy troubles? Hopefully, some of these friendships have withstood the test of time, and with National Friendship Day around the corner (Monday, Aug. 8), we suggest you surprise your nearest and dearest with the ultimate offering: a friendship bracelet. Instead of buying one at a cutesy boutique, we suggest you DIY your own version and make it extra special.

You ready for the play-by-play? Listen up:

Get Stacked – Shop the Best Cuff Bracelets

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 05:00:26 PDT

Friendship bracelets are great for your daily grind but when you want to make maximum impact, we suggest you get cuffed. This burgeoning trend is all about injecting instant polish to your work, cocktail, or evening attire, and the best part is you only need one or two pieces max. We love the idea of wearing a brushed gold cuff on each wrist with a little white dress for a sleek streamlined ensemble, or flux to the other side of the pendulum and don a funkier stone-embellished or python-print version with a little leather and lace for a hardcore appeal.

Braced-Lets Set to Pick Up Where Silly Bandz Left Off

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 08:21:11 PDT

Everything old is new again, and everything that was classically geeky is now tres chic. If your lil one's arms were loaded up with Silly Bandz last Summer, be prepared to do a double-take when your tot sports the latest jewelry fad. Made from real orthodontic materials, Braced-Lets ($5 each) are a combination of colored rubber bands for braces, metal brackets, and power chains. With bright color combinations and unique designs, tots are stacking the dental adornments up their arms with no end in sight.

The multicolored bangles are the brainchild of two orthodontists and one of their jewelry-designing sisters, Lisa Salzer of Lulu Frost, meaning the bracelets have a bit more fashion credence than last Summer's rubber-band fad. That also may be the reason many mamas are snatching up the arm adornment for themselves as well as their tots. Are you or your kids taking part in this Summer's hot trend?

Shopping: Stacking Your Wrist

Noria Morales — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 09:39:30 PDT

It's been hard to find a fashionista who doesn't have a wrist full of bracelets the last few seasons. Part luxury, part junk, part gifts - all sentimental - the stacked wrist has become a style tattoo. It's the place to gleefully combine your mother's hand-me-down baubles with a trio of those friendship bracelets you bought in Costa Rica for 10 cents during Spring break, the love bracelet your best friend gave you, and costume jewelry from J. Crew. We tracked down some stackable bracelets, but keep in mind that you can always get a head start by buying some string and making your own. Lastly, these are truly the best gifts to give your friends, hence the name.

Help Feed Children in Need With Forever 21's Feed 2 Bracelets

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:00:05 PST

Add to your wristwear collection while doing some good! These Feed 2 bracelets ($5) - exclusively for Forever 21 in partnership with the United Nations World Food Program - are cute, colorful, and available in stores starting today. Feed 2 bracelets are handmade in Guatemala, and by snapping up a particular color, you'll be sending two school meals to children in one of six countries: Swaziland, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Honduras, Haiti, and Pakistan. I'm planning to add the sparkly gold to my current bangle repertoire.
