Bang Bang Bang

Bangles, bangles, bangles! Oh, the joy! Where to begin?

I personally find that bangles will always make your outfit stand out that little more. 'Little' not being the essential word. In bangle dictionary the only words we'll find are "the" "bigger" "the " "better" and "the" "more" "the" "better".

Bangles are the essential accessory to set a defined look, however being very versatile at the same time.

This season, bangles have taken a leap in the fashion "kingdom" and are now at the top of the food chain or more appropiately "accessory chain".

I was walking by Accesorize this aftrenoon and was overwhelmed by the amount of bangles clinging off the walls, all so vastly different! I was most appealed to the new collection the new colours and pattern were all so oriental looking! So i got some research done and found that: Bangles are traditional ornaments worn by Pakistani women and Indian women, especially Hindus.

So, is fashion going back to its roots? Should contempory fashion designers seek new trends by using traditional middle eastern patterns,designs and colour?

Brown, beige and "bamboo-coloured" bangles (being more "discreet") will always give your outfit a boho-chique look. An easy way to achieve a boho look is to go for wooden bangles, they give a modern, high fashion runway look to an everyday outfit, but will also transform into couture accessory when wearing them with a long, flowy hippy chique dresses. Oh, scrumchious!

However, i love clashing bangles with outfits! Mix n' match! Make your bangles stand out by perhaps matching your bangles with a clutch or nail varnish! As this seasons trend is all about colour, if your not 100% convinced by going all out bold, just hint colour by using a colourful bangle! Or two!
