Bracelets and Arm Candy

The hottest looks of this year include many bold bracelets – from candy colored cuffs to bejeweled bangles, it's all about using bracelets to complete your look. Think of them as the icing on the cake or the finishing touch when you're getting ready. Whether its day or night, adding the right bracelets can take you from fashion friendly to fabulously fierce.

Many of the looks for fall include heavier fabrics like wool, woven cotton and velvet. These pieces call for bracelets that will still stand out. Try adding one signature piece in yellow gold and go for gems in stand out jewel tones and rich hues like amethyst, turquoise and orange. These bracelets will make any boring sweater look fresh and new.

Fall is also the prime time for layering. Whether it's several lightweight knits with a long tunic sweater vest or a tank top, a great bolero sweater and a scarf, you can't go wrong when you layer. But that rule of thumb doesn't just apply to fabrics. It also works well for bracelets. Adding an armful of bright enamel bangle bracelets can be just the ticket for livening up darker knits.

Bold bangle bracelets continue to be a hot ticket item and you can be sure that they'll work well with your cool weather looks. There are some really fun and funky styles from which to choose this season. For example, rock and roll inspired bracelets utilizing materials like leather, spikes and chain make it fun to accessorize. However, save these edgy pieces for outside the office. You can also funk up a little black dress with some arm candy that utilizes dark stones to make maximum impact.

So just because you're ready to make the switch to 3/4 length and long sleeves, don't forget that bracelets are still a great way to accessorize your look.

Would you rather have arm / eye candy or real candy?

I'm a sucker for chocolate.

Real Candy, preferably chocolate. As a photographer I have seen what kind of a mess Arm Candy causes. Both for the guys and gals. Those (both guys and gals) who are constantly primping and preening are so stuck on themselves that they have no use for anyone else except as a means to an end. I have known Arm Candy type people and all of them were USERS of the worst kind.
