IceLink Bicycle Chain Bracelets

Men who enjoy wearing bracelets have an incredible amount of options out there. Bracelets and other non-watch wrist wear are increasing in popularity and are suitable as something to wear on one's wrist opposite a watch, or even with a watch on the same wrist. Alternatively they can be worn on days you take a break from your watch, but you still want something there to keep your wrist from feeling naked.

Watch and jewelry maker IceLink has a neat line of Bicycle Bracelets for men. While IceLink's timepiece collection is clearly priced in the luxury range, these bicycle chain styled bracelets are much more value priced. The brand offers a range of the bracelets in different styles, widths, and with various levels of decoration. Seen above are just two examples with an all stainless steel metal version and other with alternating black link segments.

With a design directly inspired by bicycle chains, the line of bracelets is intentionally "gear minded." With the communicative power to suggest that its wearer is both active, and has an appreciation of well-made sports equipment such as a bike or motorcycle. Price is in the $175 range (give or take a bit). You can visit their website for a full catalog of the IceLink Bicycle Chain bracelet choices.

BCBGMAXAZRIA Ruffled Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The BCBGMAXAZRIA Ruffled Leather Clutch is a kicky little purse you can dress up or down.

This purse screams holiday spirit in its cheery shade of Hollyberry -- it's the kind of purse you'll want to match your lipstick to, and maybe your nails, as well. We love the twisted metal strap and could see this looking gorgeous with most of this season's dark jewel-colored, spangly holiday dresses and furs.

The bag is a respectable size; 9"W X 7½"H X 1"D, and features uneven cut leather ruffles and a pretty nickeltone round logo plate. You could seriously take this everywhere, from the dance floor to the dinner table, from the gala to the grocery store. Covet.

The BCBGMAXAZRIA Ruffled Leather Clutch is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $258.00.

Chlo� Chain Link Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

This Chain Link Shoulder bag by Chloé has a lot going on in all areas of color, texture, and materials. The base is mauve leather, which is then trimmed with darker mauve python, golden hardware, and adventurine stone detailing on the front. It has a flap front with two small pockets on the outside and a hefty 3-chain shoulder strap. Billed as a "mini carry-all" this bag is lined in leather (a nice unexpected touch) and measures 9" x 6". I don't know why but it looks kind of like a big toy bag to me, like something Barbie would use? $3,085

Stella McCartney Chain Embroidered Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This is a gorgeous clutch, and right up my alley because not only do I love the gentle dove gray color but I also love that it manages to look very luxe and a little glitzy without featuring any jewels or over-the-top crystals.

The Chain Embroidered Clutch by Stella McCartney is a generously sized (looks bigger on the model than I would have expected) simple silk frame clutch with heavy chain embroidery decorating the sides, silver hardware (including a clasp on the top for closing), and a black satin lining. $1,395

Anchor's Away! by Alexis Bittar

The new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Dead Man's Chest, premiers on July 7th. Any idea what you'll be wearing to the theater? Pirate-themed pieces to get you into the spirit of the movie do not come along everyday, so it is best to check them out early. Alexis Bittar's Anchor's Away! necklace would fit perfectly into the wardrobe of any on-set damsel in distress, to be sure. A sizable silver anchor, with a sea-green Chrysophase quartz charm dangling below, is hung on a 16-inch gold chain in a classy, nautical necklace. At only $98, you won't even have to pillage any towns to pick one up.
