Stacking Bracelets (Arm Candy/ Arm Party) 101 ♥

It is one of the biggest fashion trends this summer in stores and on runways. Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard of the stacking bracelets look, otherwise known as an “Arm Party” or “Arm Candy”. Today I’m going to be breaking down this trend and giving you tips and tricks to make it work for you.

Here’s what I think are the three biggest guidelines when stacking bracelets:

Try to keep it on one arm

• This draws in attention to what youre wearing and avoids your “arm party” from becoming an ‘arm rave”.

• If you’re a total diva that needs to give love to both arms, try stacking bracelets on one arm and adding rings or just one bracelet to the other.
• But at the end of the day if you like the look of stacking bracelets on both arms just do it up. Go big or go home, right? J

Variety

• Mix different sized bracelets that vary in texture.
• Use chunky and thinner pieces to create balance in your look.
• Mixing textures is key so you don’t end up with a boring “Arm Party”.
• If you have run out of things or you just don’t know what to pair together, try adding a watch.

Pieces should work together

• Unless it’s a themed look you are going for, try to stay in the same colour scheme.
• Don’t just take a bunch of random things you have and slop it on your arms. Evaluate what you have and wear what you think works together.
• You don’t have to have expensive bracelets or bangles for this trend. Go to places like H&M or Forever 21, where you can find a lot fairly cheap items to put together.

Here are a few examples of how you can stack bracelets:

few pieces together 

the more you add the more eye catching 

Stacking bracelets can work with casual or formal outfits. This is an eye-catching trend that when done right can be super easy to pull off. Throw an arm party and try this trend out J

Review, Before and After: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler ♥

Hey everyone!!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

Today I’m going to be doing a quick review about my all-time favourite lash curler: the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler. Although many people aren’t familiar with this brand or curler, according to www.instyle.com the Shu Uemera Eyelash Curler is the best lash curler of 2012. I bought a Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler about 3 years ago from Sephora for $23 CAD and it’s still going strong. Unfortunately Shu Uemura isn’t sold at most Sephora’s anymore so your best bet to get your hands on one is to buy it online.

The Shu Uemura lash curler is made in Japan and it comes in a white box with an extra silicon refill pad. Although the packaging may not be the most fabulous thing out there, as soon as you hold it you can tell that this eyelash curler is good quality. Through operating a Shu Uemura you can clearly see that it’s a sturdy and long lasting product.

Unlike other lash curlers the Shu Uemura curler is comfortable on your eyes. It gets all my lashes at once and I don’t have to angle the curler around to get my inner and outer corner lashes. I have super average eyelashes and when I curl my lashes with the Shu Uemora lash curler I can instantly see a dramatic difference. I literarily only need to curl my lashes once and apply mascara and it looks great the whole day.

I honestly can say that the Shu Uemura lash curler is a miracle worker and I definitely recommend it!!

BEFORE:

plain eyelashes (no mascara)

AFTER:
