Bloggers Do It Better...Arm Party

According to the very pretty Kristina at Pretty Shiny Sparkly,
"Bloggers Do It Better is a movement. An initiative to showcase real girls, with real style, wearing real trends. Think of it as inspiration from the girl next door."

I have been reading her blog for quite a while now and have always been interested in her Bloggers Do It Better blog project. However, for one reason or another, I always seem to miss the deadlines for these fun fashion assignments. Nevertheless, I always had fun checking out the contributions from other bloggers. I keep telling myself that I'll definitely participate in the next one, though. Finally, here I am, participating in the 6th installment, Arm Party!



So apparently, the term 'arm party' was coined by The Man Repeller. I do think that's such a clever term. I used to work with a girl who always had tons of bracelets up her arm and I quite admire her for it. I don't usually stack up my arm jewellery (though I do it a lot with rings), but I think I quite like it now and would definitely do it more in the future.


Well, as you can see, mine's more of an afternoon tea party. Yes, it's not the strobe lights, free flow of alcohol and heart-pounding kind of party, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. The floral fabrics, the soft, pale colours and the elegance of gold are great...but what's a party without a few studs, eyh? *wink*

Bangles all from Malaysia

From L-R

  7. I really like your play on words, haha.


    That's a pretty nice take on the arm party because when you think of "arm party" you think of clubs and what not. I think I might participate in the next BDIB. :)

  15. i love the flowered bracelets, from Malasia. I think those are adorable, and i believe i can make similar ones by myself from recycled materials ^^
    i wish i could participate on the competition too but i think my bracelets are just a few and they don't really make a good match together :c
    But it looks nice the way you put yours together! :3 good job sweetie :D
