Buddy Bands

{via}

this picture on starbucks instagram made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

it made me think of all of my amazing friends and how i adore them so much. 

it made me reminsce about getting crafty and making bracelets for my besties when i was younger. 

then it made me want to give all of my gf's a bracelet to show them all how much they mean to me. 

the bad news...i am so not crafty anymore. 

the good news.  there are so many darling frienship bracelets available to buy out there that i have a plethora to choose from - all of which are better than i could ever try to create!

then i got to thinking that my girl mrs. r would look pretty styling up in san francisco wearing this bff charm necklace.

which got me to remembering that awesome saved by the bell episode where a.c. sold buddy bands...

  

which just made me smile and be grateful for the absurdity of that show. 

what's your take on the whole friendship bracelet trend?  are you in or are you out?

arm candy is a look/trend that i just love but haven't tried yet.  i see it on my roomie, on my blog friends, on celebs, pretty much everyone and still i haven't sported this trend yet. 

after spying the pieces above i feel like i may have to try the trend soon as they are all perfect additions to a few pieces i already have.

what do you think about the arm candy trend?  love it?  hate it?  what are the rules/keys to a successful arm?
