The Look For Less: Mark Davis Evelyn Bangle

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Every time I visit Barneys, I drool over Mark Davis and his super-expensive bangles. They're pretty, bejeweled, and bakelite, like this Mark Davis Evelyn Bangle ($2,280), but way out of my splurge range. Finally, I found a Fab alternative!

The swirled finish, glittery stones, and general bangle goodness are all intact with this Lee Angel Marcelle Skinny Jeweled Bracelet ($70). Finally, I can live the Mark Davis dream.

Ivory

n. From the tusk of an elephant. Hard, smooth, yellow-white color. Carved into fans, combs and jewelry. Elephants have been slaughtered for their tusks and are now protected by countries in Africa. Ivory look-a-likes are made of plastic.

Get tribal with this Ivory Geometric Bangle, $375.

Trend Alert - Special Runway Edition! The Season of the Wrist

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 09:20:22 -0700

There's no stopping the bracelet brigade. It is indeed the season of the wrist. Tuck away those simple earrings and dainty rings, jewelry remains a way to make a statement. Karl was cuckoo for bangles and cuffs at both his Fall RTW (right) and Cruise 2008 (left) collections. So if you've forever been jonesing for classic Chanel wristwear get ready for an influx. Pile on the drama like at Louis Vuitton (middle), where Marc Jacobs didn't hold back and chose to twin his metallic bangles with an even more metallic clutch.

My styling tip? All you need is a black long-sleeve turtleneck, some tailored jeans, pile those bracelets on and you are cocktail-ready. Tchin-Tchin!

Fab Finger Discount: Amrita Singh India Bangle Set

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

This Amrita Singh India Bangles Set ($70, originally $100) is a statement investment. And a pronto way to add bold exoticism to your 'fit. The set shown is gunmetal, but it also comes in silver and gold. $70 for bangles may seem much, but when you break it down - $70 divided by 36 bangles equals $1.95 each - not bad at all. Off to exotic-land I go, you with me?

Trend Alert: Mixed Material Bangles

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:22 -0800

We can all agree Bosworth's ray print Proenza Schouler dress is epic. But have you ever realized Kate rarely wears jewelry? When she does, I notice. Her mixed metal bangles add extended cool to her black and ice sheath. She opted for a silver medley, but mixed metals work just as well. The key is to stack 'em and play around with textures and widths. In this case, more is more.

D&G Candy Bangles: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 15:00:22 -0700

It seems a lot of clothing designers are venturing off into jewelry land; Dolce & Gabbana has joined that crew.

One of their first pieces, these D&G Dolce & Gabbana Candy Bangles, $225, are quite loud and gaudy. But that's no surprise coming from the provocative Italian designing duo. I can see J.Lo rocking them, but I would prefer them if they didn't have the crystal embellishments. What do you think?

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:00:08 -0700

I adore wooden bangles - they inject a down-to-earth feel to any outfit and match everything. These Kenneth Jay Lane Octangle Bangles ($21 for the set, originally $35) are some of the best wooden bangles I've seen. They're modern, and at that price, you can afford to get two sets. Not bad. Wood you buy it?

March Shopping Madness: Stack 'em High

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0700

The way to wear bangles this season is to stack 'em high - and I mean high. Bangles come in all sizes and colors so you can choose and mix and match to your heart's delight. Dig Marni (left) using oversized futuristic designs to embody this trend; the larger-than-life size demands attention. The key to pulling off this look is to stack them on one wrist only or you'll end up looking like an over-accessorizer. Also, group themes and complementary colors together. Have fun . . .

CC Skye Triple Cobra Stretch Bangles: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:00:22 -0700

I love stacking bracelets but I hate the clanging it creates while I'm typing away on my computer - can you hear it? Clack, clack, clack . . . These CC Skye Triple Cobra Stretch Bangles ($132), appeal to me because they have the same fun look minus the soundtrack. The interlinking bands are genius and will surely keep any fellow worker bees from throwing evil glances in my direction. Are you digging it?
