Costume jewelry is a different story, sort of one size fits all, or S M and L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140622 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 01:41:28 +0000 April 140622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy -- I forgot to respond to your post, but I followed the link to your leather cuff and I think it's so you, in the best possible way! No need to feel sheepish at all. </p> <p>I must admit when you said "leather cuff" I remembered a bracelet I had when I was 9. It was tooled leather with a snap closure and the tooling said "ARIES." Hee hee. It was 1973 and people were into astrology.</p> <p>Mellllls -- I hadn't thought about clinking while typing. That would drive me crazy as well, but since I'm not looking at bangles, I guess I was hoping there wouldn't e any clinking.</p> <p>Khris -- can you post a picture of your new bracelets? I'd love to see.</p> <p>And Debora, it looks like the pearl/chain one could be modified by removing some of the tiny links that hold the closure. If I convince myself that I "need" a bracelet, I'll let you know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140605 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:34:36 +0000 Debora 140605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I just measured my wrist and mine is 6 inches, too. I've also had to have links taken out of watches in the past. I'd be curious too, to see what others with small wrists do when it comes to bracelets. This probably explains why we don't have any bracelets in our accessory collections. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140570 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:30:10 +0000 Mellllls 140570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pearl and chain one as well. My issue with bracelets is sizing (petite wrists) and that they clink annoyingly when I type. So I only wear them for special non-work related occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140567 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:19:58 +0000 April 140567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora, I just measured my wrist and it's 6 inches. It seems like most bracelets are 7" or 7.5" which doesn't seem so very much bigger, or am I crazy? I had a (large) link removed from my watch when I got it -- maybe bracelets can be treated the same way. Anybody know? I'm such a jewelry newbie... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140554 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:04:03 +0000 Debora 140554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, the bracelets are all beautiful! I especially love the one with the pearls and chains. I love the flower one, also, and actually tried it on in the store. So pretty! Do you have trouble keeping bracelets on with your tiny wrists? I have small wrists and often find them to be too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140525 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:19:33 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 140525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cuff - really funky, but the shape is really elegant too. My delimma with bracelets is that I don't like wearing a bracelet and a watch on the same wrist, but also feel strange with one on each wrist, so it is either watch-less or bracelet-less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140503 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:37:59 +0000 chewyspaghetti 140503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bracelets are a continuous fantasy item for me, because of my big knuckles and wrists I can seldom find any that fit. The pearl one is especially nice. I recently did find a few that just barely fit me, so I bought them.<br /> Cathy- I just saw some faux leather cuffs at Target. Those fit me, too, but I'm afraid the plastic will just make my wrist hot and sweaty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140496 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:28:25 +0000 cciele 140496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April -- Here's the cuff:<br /> <a href="http://haydenharnett.com/index.cgi?action=detail&#038;style=CUFFOLI" rel="nofollow">http://haydenharnett.com/index.....le=CUFFOLI</a></p> <p>I have a purple one already and would like a green one to go with it (the green is a bit more saturated in real life) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140429 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:01:26 +0000 Kristen 140429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nonie, the faux-turquoise is from Ann Taylor Factory from last year. It's a cheap elastic cuff and the elastic is just about worn through now...but it's served me well this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140417 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:01:01 +0000 April 140417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FH -- as I recall, the woman in Lucky had them on the same arm. I seem to remember one bracelet above the watch and one below. They weren't gigantic like the cuff I linked to, but neither were they thin and inconsequential, and they really looked good all grouped together like that. </p> <p>Cathy, I can't picture the sort of leather cuff you're dreaming of -- can you post a link? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140379 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 04:25:22 +0000 cciele 140379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the different styles of bracelets! I also love the pearl and chain one -- stunning and unique.</p> <p>This week (and for the past few years), I am still coveting leather cuffs *sheepish look* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140366 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:52:22 +0000 fathenry 140366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, do you wear the bracelet on the same arm as the watch or the opposite arm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140340 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:27:45 +0000 Nonie 140340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen...where is your turquoise killer bracelet from ...i guess i saw it on your blog but didn't figure out where it was from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140139 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 11:46:46 +0000 Kristen 140139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I reaaaaaaalllly like that blue flower one from Talbots. I'm on the hunt for a replacement for my faux-turquoise one, and the blues of that might be a good substitute. </p> <p>I do have a few bracelets, but I am very fussy about what I get. I have wide knuckles so I can't wear any slip-over bangle style, and if the clasp is too fussy and I can't do it one-handed I look elsewhere. So it's mostly cuffs with an opening or all-arounds with elastic or a magnet clasp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140137 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 11:36:34 +0000 April 140137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the pearls-with-chains bracelet is the one that makes my heart skip the most beats -- so glad to have confirmation of its fabulosity. </p> <p>I was thinking that there are times when a top, because of its detailing, doesn't lend itself to a necklace, and that it would be good to wear bracelets at those times. I already wear a big "boyfriend watch" and had thought that was enough metal on my arm, but I saw a picture in Lucky of someone wearing both a boyfriend watch and a couple of (substantial) bracelets, and it looked great. I would not be able to handle jangly bangles, but a more fitted style would be fine. </p> <p>Nonie, I'm going to check right now and see if my Macy's is open today... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140131 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 09:58:33 +0000 Ele 140131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, that first one is awesome! I can totally see you wearing that, April- very sophisticated and beautiful but with an edge. </p> <p>I'm also not really a bracelet wearer. I think I have a grand total of three? It is something I'm "training" myself to wear more often, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140127 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 07:53:39 +0000 RoseandJoan 140127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all so different April. I can definitely see you sporting the pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140113 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 06:14:09 +0000 Nonie 140113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fyi i just visited my local macy's...and there were tons of bracelets on sale...many of them upto 50% off....you should surely check them out....and they were big on pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140077 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:34:40 +0000 Anonymous 140077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty. I have been coveting bracelettes for this year too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140075 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:24:49 +0000 Kate 140075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, I think you should get one, unless you don't have/own bracelets for a reason. </p> <p>Every couple years I go through a stage where I think rings are the coolest thing ever, and find the perfect one, buy it, wear it for all of a day or two, remember how much I hate wearing rings, and never wear it again. Every time I go through this stage I remind myself about this cycle, and yet I convince myself that this time will be different. But it never is, and then I end up wishing I hadn't wasted my money. </p> <p>So based on my experience, if you think this will be the beginning of your happy bracelet-wearing life, go for it! But if you've actually tried wearing bracelets before and they don't work for you, maybe you can find similar styles in a type of jewelry you know you will wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140043 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 02:35:30 +0000 taylor 140043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All so georgeous ....no more waiting!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting-bracelets#post-140027 Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:53:29 +0000 marianna 140027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pearl and chain one too.
