Arm candy has been a fashion term brandished around a lot recently and as I popped into Accessorize yesterday afternoon, it seems that pretty charms and trinkets are having a huge revival.

Of course being an avid follower of fashion, I had picked up on the return of the Charm Bracelet last year and I am pleased to see that the high street has now also followed suit on the mini accessory phenomena and offering chic little pieces for a fraction of the price of their designer rivals. From little nautical anchors, to little flowers and pearls, there is a  charm bracelet  to suit the quirkiest of dressers to the more subdued conservative type.

Plus if you have read my ‘How to disguise a Post Christmas Tum’ you will know that interesting detailed bracelets are in fact a great a focal point for creating the illusion of slimmer wrists and drawing the eye away from the conscientious tummy area. (Clever and works every time!)

So bearing all this in mind where is the best place to go and purchase your C.B?

I already mentioned Accessorize for being top of the high street shops, but if you don’t want to run the fear of bumping into someone else wearing an identical one, then I would suggest veering of the beaten track and looking on the Internet at Jules Charms www.charmnecklaces.co.uk where you can find the daintiest handcrafted pieces for as little as a fiver!!!

However if you are tempted to splash the cash a bit and pick up a piece from cult costume jewelery designer Angie Gooderham, then surprisingly her collection of bracelets are moderately priced from £50. check out the website: www.angiegooderhamstore.com
