Stack 'Em

Hi y'all! I hope everyone is having a lovely week! I leave for college tomorrow (ahh!!!) bright and early so here is an extra long post to keep y'all extra happy! I'm not going to be posting a ton since I have move-in day, orientation, and the beginning of classes all in the next week. I might queue a few posts but we'll see! It's a crazy time!!

Anywho, recently everyone has become obsessed with bracelet stacking. I have joined the "stacking movement" and I absolutely love it. It's such a simple concept but it makes getting ready in the morning a lot more fun!

I have some favorite brands for bracelet stacking, such as Fornash, Lilly Pulitzer, Kate Spade, J. Crew, Swell Caroline, and Angela Moore. It's fun to mix different styles from different brands, so here are my favorite bracelets that I like to choose from!

I have a store that I usually go to that has a ton of Fornash goodies, so I'm pretty familiar with the brand. They have great earrings and necklaces as well as bracelets. Bangles are the absolute base for bracelet stacking and Fornash has the biggest selection. I also love their animal snap bangles. My mom has an elephant one that I am obsessed with (but she won't let me wear it, ugh) and I have an orange zebra. They're really cute and super fun! Also, the equestrian-inspired wrap bracelets are great! One of my friends gave my other friend that bracelet for her birthday and it's really pretty in person.

My friend gave my entire friend group the Kate Spade idiom bangles for graduation and I never take mine off! It's pink and it says "hot to trot" (which I think is funny since one of my favorite Lilly prints is Hotty Pink Hot to Trot...I'm SUCH a nerd). I am obsessed with Kate Spade jewelry in general, actually. There is so much to choose from! Bracelet stacking is a lot of fun when you add a watch into the mix. I like to keep my metallics matching, but to each her own! I looove the bow bracelet. I've tried it on a couple of times in the Kate Spade store, and I like that it's small enough to fit my wrists. It's hard to find bracelets that fit!

I pretty much adore anything with elephant-themed, so this J. Crew elephant bangle is no acception! It comes in the prettiest color of turquoise or pink. I've seen Angela Moore bracelets almost my entire life and I think they're so pretty and preppy. There are a ton of styles to choose from, and I love that they're all handpainted! Lastly, Lilly occasionally has some great bracelets, like these multicolored bamboo-inspired bracelets.

To find inspiration for bracelet stacking, I like looking at Pinterest. There are so many great ideas on it!
