Bangles are back, and they are better than ever. Stacking up an arm full of gorgeous jewels is what us girls live for. Sometimes, some arm candy can really make an outfit pop and catch someone’s eye when reaching for the salt on the table, sparking the question, “I love those! Where did you get them?” If you haven’t had this conversation, or something like it, you are about to because I am going to let you in on the jewelry company that has it all.
Alex and Ani was founded by Carolyn Rafaelian and has skyrocketed to amazing success since its conception in 2004. Rafaelian inherited her father’s jewelry factory and created a company centered on positive energy and love. Not only are all of their products eco-friendly (made from recycled brass), but they are all made in America. Alex and Ani has something for everyone, from mermaids to ice cream cones to sororities, the possibilities are endless. There are over 100 styles of bangles to choose from. No longer will you be searching for gifts for your friends or family; get them an Alex and Ani bangle as a reminder of how much they mean to you. Every bracelet has a three words associated with it, giving it a deeper meaning. While you are shopping, get a bangle in silver or gold for yourself and keep adding them to your arm to create some serious arm candy.
This Fashionista rocks her Alex and Ani bracelets in style. Here she is displaying their wrap and beaded bracelets that go great with anything you wear. Pair them with your favorite skinny jeans, chiffon tank top and neutral heels to let your jewelry really stand out and make a statement.
How To: Adorning your arm with a stack of bangles isn’t something that everyone loves. Sometimes the noise and the feel of them annoys people to the point where they swear off bangles, but this shouldn’t stop you from shopping at Alex and Ani. They make a line of bracelets that fit flush with your wrist and are more subtle. (They even have a whole collection to help out different charities). My favorites are the hand of Fatima and the bumble bee!
