Wrap it up!

Hello guys! Hope ya'll are having a great weekend. :] Mine has been pretty chill. Just had work and then came home to take a nice nap. Felt so good!

For today, I wanted to share with you guys my favorite type of basic bracelet to wear with outfits, and that is the "leather wrap around." I find that they're very fun and add texture to other simple looking bracelets. When pairing together the right kind of bracelets, it adds that extra spark to a plain outfit with such a minor detail.

Here's an example with a simple, studded leather wrap bracelet:

The detailing of the studs makes this bracelet not as plain, but...


when paired with another bracelet, it adds a pop of color along with even more texture, while also balancing the silver studded look.

More examples of leather wraps:

I've been loving these stretchy pastel + gold beaded bracelets to pair with everything. Though they may seem more appropriate for the spring and/or summer time, they can also go for the upcoming fall/winter to add color to all the neutrals that are known to be worn during the colder months of the year. ^^ I got them recently from H&M for only $3.95. :]



Brown braided & white studded wrap bracelets all purchased from various sellers on ebay for around $1 or so. Click here for some examples. (Did I ever mention how much I love Ebay? XD)

I've been on the look out for more bracelets that I can "pile on" for that layering bracelet look that I've seen plenty of times on various fashion blogs. It's a trend that I do really like...but it looks easier that it really is. (Or for me at leawst...heh heh). But yes, everyone has their own personal fashion sense. If you want to wear it, just work it! ♡

Ok, here's another Cha Mu Won video from the kdrama "Protect the Boss" to end my post with. Hehe, (I'm following the trend of ending my posts now w/vids thanks to shinyprettythings9♥. Now you guys will get a better sense of my fangirlism...kpop since 2006! I feel old.)

Ok. Dead. On to episode 9! Trying not to speed through it too much since...I don't want it to end just yet!

  8. I love layering on bracelets too, I have a few wrap ones that I love. My arms are really small so 'normal' bracelets don't fit-these wrap ones (or adjustable string ones) are my saviour XD
