A rare occasion it is that a fashion week goes by and this particular arm goes unphotographed. Sure, her child, niece, nephew, (husband?) probably made the darling plastic star and heart pastel bead bracelets that finish this arm party, but I want in! Where can we (yes, we) find exact replicas beads to duplicate and embrace what I'll call among the most authentic arm parties I've seen? One less about fancy shit and more about raw love and friendship...you know, other sorts of shit. I guess the complimenting Marni blouse and yellow Fendi purse-held-as-clutch can be rendered optional...but, OMFG, is that a 4S? Siri, won't you help us find the materials to make the bracelets?
Just some Saturday beads for thought. Tootles!

i am pretty sure i had those exact heart bracelets as a child, probably constructed by myself, despite a notable lack of hand-eye dexterity. those beadings are intricate and tough for tiny, chubby fingers.
ReplyDeletelove the plastic against the beautiful black and brown pattern....

Love the clutch! I used to have bracelets like that, made with DIY bead sets - those were the days! Actually, I'm pretty sure I still have them hanging about somewhere. x

I used to wear those bracelets in fourth grade. Next thing you know, the new trend will be to wear those edible candy bracelets!
ReplyDeleteHaha you can buy jewellery making kits from toy shops! Majorly nostalgic
ReplyDeletehttp://somefashionclout.blogspot.com
It's a pain in the butt but it's possible to create your own with those kits from Joann's. ;) I've made a bracelet or two in my day.

ReplyDeleteThe childhood bracelets and playful clutch are total eye candy.

I too had those bracelets as a child! I'm about to call my mom and ask if she still has my old jewelry in our "dress-up clothes" box at her house! And if her answer is "Nay," then I'm off to Michael's to construct them myself...
ReplyDeleteyellow clutch! nice!
ReplyDeleteThere is just something wonderful about a pop of color.

I love the yellow clutch. Really nice. However, I'm not sure about the bracelets, surely because I don't really appreciate the plastic material.

My eight year old, who has her own tween fashion blog by the way, called "Manicures and Math Class," would be delighted to make you some friendship bracelets or lanyards
ReplyDeleteWell now I must raid my parent's attic because I know I have my Lisa Frank beading kit somewhere in there. I was a hardcore Lisa Frank nerd and have a stock pile of those bracelets!! :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful clutch!

With all the action going on around that arm,now I'm curious about the rest of her outfit. But, on the other hand, it's better: mystery spurs imagination.

Love the spirit of this post!
ReplyDeleteAfter nearly three decades as a shopaholic (I'm almost 30) I have accumulated so many clothes, shoes and handbags that an entire closet and two cabinets totally reserved to myself are no longer enough for all my belongings. Shame on me!
Today I decided to change dramatically and start a shopping diet which will help me achieve a more sustainable lifestyle: I intend to spend the next 365 days without making any purchase of clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories, with only one exception: the dress for my wedding next year!
Every day (I hope!) I will post the outfit I wear for work, out to dinner or during the Weekend, with the aim to inspire myself and (why not?) others!
I look forward to your visits because I need support and encouragement for this crusade! Stay tuned!!!

Where can I find these in Europe so that I don't need to buy like 300 pcs? =)
ReplyDeleteI Just Love Yellow Fendi bag with fantastic assorciated bracletes companion.
ReplyDeleteDon't miss her yellow brooch on her marni blouse.
She obviously knows something about a fashion.
cute ! but if someone less stylish would wear bracelets like that, it would probably just look ridiculous
