5 rules on how to style the perfect arm and watch combination
While on set last week with Fossil, I fell somewhat madly in love with the idea of pairing great watches and bracelets. Basically I was having way too much fun with the whole arm party/candy phenomenon. Yes, this is a trend that has carried through until 2015. In fact, I see no end in sight when it comes to us stacking bracelets and watches as if our lives depended on it. So, I thought I'd put together a little rule book on how to create the perfect arm party with arm candy. Translate that to read, how to put together the perfect stack of bracelets for your arm.
Rule #1: Don't be afraid to mix metals.
Stacking isn't designed to be too uniformed. The idea is to show off your kit while also taking into consideration the way in which each piece compliments another. Mix golds and silvers without hesitation. The more variety the better.
Rule #2: A colour pop can change the game.
I'm a massive fan of colour popping in all walks of life. But, when it comes to a bit of stacking I find it nearly impossible to step out without some sort of colour standing tall. I'm obsessed (as you can see by the pinch of pink above).
Rule #3: "Too much" is a phrase you will never ever use when stacking bracelets.
Just take one look at the blog Advanced Style and you'll know that more is better. Yes, more is better! Let your arm act as armour and cover it from wrist to elbow. Go to town! Express yourself, as Madonna would say.
Rule #4: Take them off occasionally.
I'm going to be a bit personal here, ladies and gents, when it comes to hygiene. I'm all for arm candy and parties galore, but when it comes to cleanliness with this stacking, some people miss the mark. You do have to take them off occasionally to keep things in check. Yes, I've met people who pride themselves on wearing the same arm candy 24/7 for a year. Not good - for your skin or your scent! Change it up. Remember this is an expression just like your daily outfit - it's good to refresh daily!
Rule #5: Make sure you have a watch you absolutely adore and will want to wear every day of the week alongside your arm candy.
Here's where Fossil comes in. Yes, every single piece of jewellery I am wearing above is from the brand. But I feel like, when it comes to their watches, these guys can't be beat. I feel like I am rediscovering an old friend. A brand I used to love as a teenager has reentered my life as an adult and they've completely transformed themselves, as have I. It's a renewed match made in heaven and it's worth you taking a look at the brand. Trust me on this.
Head on over to Fossil online to check out the full collection of watches and jewellery available this season. My promise to you is that you will have your socks knocked off and will be pleasantly surprised at the more than reasonable prices.

Gone Girl
Hello! I would apologise for my absence on this blog but I have been posting pretty consistently over on my social media (all of them are @llymlrs) as well as on my Vlogging Channel as of late so I don't feel too guilty to be honest. But I am sorry Ive not updated my blog readers and addressed you all directly! I always worry about spreading myself too thick and then things getting lost in the mix but I think I owe it to the platform I started out on to keep you guys in the loop.
So my house is getting nearer and nearer to becoming a functional place where I can properly make content so Im hoping by the beginning of next week I'll have the blog up and running on a daily basis again! Im really excited about this, I have a notebook full of ideas for content over the next few weeks as well as getting back into both outfit and beauty posts on the reg.
Honestly I cant tell you how weird it is not blogging regularly. While I've still been posting vlogs pretty much daily I just haven't had the time or the inclination to just sit down and type. I dont know why but even typing this out is weirding me out to a degree as I just feel so out of practice. I feel like I've forgotten how to use my internet voice and how to just be LLYMLRS on the internet.
I always tell people when they start blogging is to not stop as you will lose your momentum and find it hard to get back in to and thats exactly what Im feeling right now. However Im determined to get back to at least posting more than once in a month like I did last month. That was absolutely shameful as I've never in my whole blogging history posted so few times in a month!
Anyway, like I said. Things are looking awesome in the new flat. I just want my sofa to arrive so I can finally finish off my living room, which is shaping up really nicely as well as start actually deciding on how I want my bedroom to look. Im still browsing through endless pins on Pinterest looking for the one photo that sparks off my imagination and gets my interior juices flowing! Maybe I'll share some of my favourite photos on here next week!
See you then!
