Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan are just a few of the bangled beauties on our Style Radar. The hot celeb trend, which can be worn all year long is a perfect finish for any summer ensemble. As the task of finding the perfect armful of bangles can be daunting, we were delighted to discover the Alex and Ani Create Your Own Bangle Bar.
The eco friendly jewelry company (they use only recycled materials, made entirely in the United States) launched their Create Your Own Bangle Bar at LIVE! On Sunset a few weeks ago, introducing their interactive accessories experience to the world.
How does it work? Bangles are divided into four categories: Color Beaded (fun gemstones), Metal Beaded (gorgeous metallic shades in different shapes and sizes), Plain, and Charms (everything from Zodiac signs to Initials).
Once you choose your first bangle, you drag it to the display tube on the right, where it lets you know how much the bracelet costs. You can drag up to 12 bangles to the display, and after each one, your subtotal will recalculate. After accessing your one-of-a-kind, arm candy creation you will be ready for check out!
Fans of the brand include Sandra Bullock, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and Cameron Diaz.
