The Bangles

No, darlings, don’t walk like an Egyptian! The bangles to which CC refers are those über-popular bracelets that seem to be creeping up the arm of every catwalker and celeb the world over! And the rules are: there are no rules! Wear them oversize, mismatched, in multiples, whatever strikes your fancy!
The following is a runway synthesis with ideas about what to buy tossed in for good measure – enjoy!
