For The Arm on a Budget, Take Two

Last week someone asked me to share my "great fashion find" of that week. I had no idea what she was talking about and so she explained that she likes to chronicle her fashion discoveries and share them with people, she was thus interested to learn if I'd had any. I said no but then I thought about it and this blog and that which I put on this blog and realized that I guess everyday is a "great fashion find" in some capacity, right? Right. To take this to a more literal, less existential level though, the last really good one I could remember (you know, short of the danger zone that was Cyber Monday,) came last month when I'd discovered Wanderlust. A super rad Australian e-tailer that puts the party in arm party. Just kidding, I put the party in arm party, but Wanderlust does help. And even though I've iterated this once before, I'll say it again: spending excess money on accessories really isn't all that necessary everyday, so should you wish to, give your wallet a break and peep my favorite bits of the newest offerings from Wanderlust.
So predictable...I'm a sucker for anything with a rhinestone or a skull or a rhinestone and a skull on it. Disclaimer: the ID bracelet in the front does not hail from Wanderlust. Quite the contrary, it was given to my older brother, Haim, at birth from some idiot in Turkey who can't spell Haim. Idiot for two reasons: 1. It's Haim, not Hayim. And 2. Straight boys don't know how to penetrate the arm party, get a hold of yourself. In any case though, no piece of jewelry I wear renders more sentimental than this one. Insert awww, three W's, here. Shop Wanderlust here. Win a date with Haim here. Just kidding, no link. Bye!

  2. in the idiot's defense, most Turkish Jews spell their names in Turkish (Mike would be Mayk, Mandy would be Mendi- true story) yet, considering most can't even spell authentic Turkish names correctly , I say Hayim is still a win.

    Other than that, the party's a-rocking.

  7. i wish someone would spell my sister's name incorrectly on a bracelet so i could have it. that thing is rad. and i'm all about budget since i basically gave away my first born to shopbop in the last 7 days.

  16. when i was home for the thanksgiving holiday i happened to find a really good man repeller from my childhood... well, it's really just a person repeller. it's a NOMINATION bracelet! it has some really nifty links, including my name, a soccer ball, a blue heart, a ram for aries, and an "I<3NY" because... well, who doesn't? i've sworn to bring back the nomination bracelet from the hell it's been condemned to but everywhere i go i'm also condemned. so, for now, the nomination bracelet won't be joining my arm party any longer.

    dare i ask - did you have a nomination bracelet? i'm sure even then you didn't give into the trendy pressures. a little catholic girl living in wayne, NJ for 6 very impressionable years, i tried very hard to be like my best jewish friend who had all of the what i thought was cool stuff... including hard tail pants. thank goodness i've moved away from there... alas, i digress.

    rock on.

  24. I looove your arm parties. And I, too, want to emphasize that Hayim is a common Jewish name in Turkey. Besides, that's a valuable and thoughtful gift, isn't it? ;)

  40. Well, Hayim in hebrew means LIFE = חיים
    and I think you can spell it both ways actually..

    ReplyDelete
  41. thank you for the explanation, in Turkish the name is spelled 'Hayim', before calling people 'idiot' it's better we learn more and think twice before sharing with people...

  42. you make everything cool.

  43. Dear Angry Beavers. My "idiot" reference was actually a parody on Antoine Dodson's "some idiot in da projects" phrase from a summer 2010 youtube sensation. That said, MY FAMILY IS TURKISH which gives me right to crack jokes at my own culture's expense and recognize that eventhough things are spelled as they sound WHEN YOU'RE TOLD A NAME IS SPELLED ONE WAY WHY SPELL IT ANY OTHER...way?

  44. Love all the bracelet, I can't help myself tho, I'm very minimalist when it comens to jewelleries. I never wear lots of bracelet like you do. But I totally like it when I see it on others
