The Man Repeller

JOIN THE PARTY...

Leave it to Leandra Medine (aka The Man Repeller) to coin the ever popular term "arm party" that I hear at least once a day now.  I typically have not been someone who would pile on the jewelry or adorn myself in tons of elaborate necklaces, earrings or bracelets, but find myself drawn to the concept of the arm party.  I now embrace the idea of combining many kinds, shapes, and sizes on by the armful.  My recent favorites come from Leah from The Way We Are.  Her bracelets come in all colors and are both stylish and affordable, so you will not feel guilty when you purchase several of them! I am also loving all of the bracelets from Jen Ramos over on Made by Girl. The skull and cross bracelets shown above are just two of my favorites from her online shop, but you should definitely take a look at the rest of her amazing accessories. Love them all! 
I've been admiring this cuff bracelet from Odette for a while now and just couldn't bring myself to spend the money on it.  So when I was browsing Anthropologie last week and saw their version of the cuff bracelet but much cheaper, I was so excited! I love them both and thing they are the perfect addition to any combination of bracelets and cuffs.  Have ya'll embraced the arm party trend or do you tend to stick with a more simple look when it comes to bracelets?  Have ya'll seen any fabulous cuffs or bangles recently that you've added to your wish list? Would love to hear about any new fabulous finds! 

MONDAY MUSINGS....

Monday is more than halfway over and I am playing catch up today after a long weekend in Austin for a good friend's wedding.  Lots to do after a wonderful wedding weekend, but in the meantime, a belated bits of truth post from last week since I was not on the ball on Thursday and didn't get this posted before heading to Austin for the weekend.  Hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend and having a good start to the week! 
I can't get enough of the Call Me Maybe parodies, they are everywhere these days.  This video of Rebecca Minkoff, Hilary Rhoda, and Leandra Medine (The Man Repeller) getting ready for the CFDA Awards is fabulous, by any chance, Rebecca, are you hiring? I'd like to sign up as your new best friend and assistant, think we would be great friends instantly! Seriously though, don't they all look like so much fun?

 And finally, READ: a remarkable graduation speech given by author Anne Lamott.  Another reminder to take a moment to pause and enjoy your life in the present moment.  

MAN REPELLER x DANNIJO

 The Man Repeller's Leandra Medine has done it again with her second collaboration of colorful necklaces and bracelets with the sister duo making up DANNIJO.  MR. DANNIJO Volume II  strikes the perfect balance of femine and masculine themes.  Not to mention, it makes the perfect accessory to complete any spring outfit!  Check out a few of my favorite pieces from the MR DANNIJO line below and check out the entire collaboration on the DANNIJO website. Personally, I would give my left arm (ok maybe just a few fingers, but you get the point) for the GORGEOUS Betty Davis necklace below... HELLO FABULOUS!
