arm party, up in here!

Dear Party Gals,
Who doesn’t like to party, seriously? Especially when it involves jewelry! The term “Arm Party” originates from my favorite blogger, Leandra Medine, “The Man Repeller”, who coined the term on her blog and started a phenomenon! She often works with New York based jewelry company, DANNIJO, (They have amazing things! Check it out!) and will add their bracelets to many of her Arm Parties. The term basically means an arm full of bracelets.

In my everyday battle of making perfect outfits, I found that my arms were feeling quite bare, so in order to make my wrists a little bit happier, I went on the hunt for the perfect “Arm Party”. It comes down to an art really: not putting too many bracelets together, so it doesn’t look like you forgot how to count, and not forgetting to put enough so that it ends up just a party of two. The trick is to keep the bracelets on the thinner side so they don’t overpower each other, and then have one statement bracelet in the mix.

Sometimes this trend can lean a little to a more boho look, but with the right party you can make it work for any outfit. If you’re doing a more professional Arm Party then make sure to invite a watch to join the festivities of no more than 4 bracelets (depending on size). If you’re having a more casual setting, then don’t be afraid to stack it up! You can even use cheaper bracelets that are threaded with beads and what not to add texture and a little whimsy to the look.

Well ladies I leave you with this, now go get your party arm on!


Lots of love,
Your Favorite Party Gal
