From Blahhhhh to Ahhhhhhh

We’ve all heard the sayings “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and “Dogs are man’s best friend,” but here at Carnaby Street Style, we believe that girl’s true best friends are Accessories!

 Accessories have the power to turn a pretty simple or plain outfit into one that catches your eye and makes people go “Ahhhh!”…well at least in their minds! There are so many different items to choose from to spice up your outfit of the day; from necklaces, earrings, scarves, headbands, bracelets, boot toppers, to belts, and more! Even if you wore the same black tunic with leggings every day you could make it look like a different outfit just with the use of different accessories and a little creativity.

There are so many hot accessory trends this season that we have fallen for! Wearing chunky gold accessories on black and tan clothing items is a classic look that will always be in style. Blanket scarves are one of the biggest trends this fall and we love the look of matching a blanket scarf to a pair of boot toppers!  Color coordinating your eye makeup or lipstick color to a printed scarf, bag, or shoes is a playful, cute way to pull your look all together.

If your look just needs of pop of print and color, an added touch of texture, or a bit of bling, there is an accessory out there for the job!

Happy Accessorizing!!

Satisfy your sweet tooth with ARM CANDY!!

Bangles, cuffs, wraps, and more…bracelets are one of the trendiest accessories of the season. There are endless different styles, materials, colors, and sizes to choose from; so you are sure to find something, or many things, that tickle your fancy.

Here at Carnaby Street, we have a sweet tooth for some Arm Candy that can only be satisfied by Pura Vida, Goodworks, and Far Fetched, our favorite accessory lines. There are no rules when it comes to making your own bracelet set. You can mix and match colors, metals, textures…just be creative and make it your own!

Each of us here at CSS sports our own favorite sets of arm candy!

“I like Pura Vida so much since they can be worn in the shower and can adjust on my small wrists to be tight and not move around. I started with gray bracelets, and added on others one at a time. When my dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, I bought burgundy PVs for myself and each of my family members to represent our unity with him as he fights cancer. My bracelet set became very personal to me because of this. I added in a braided PV that had gray, burgundy, and black in it to tie the colors all together, and added a black one with that. These colors not only mean something to me, but go with everything I wear since I wear a lot of dark colors.”  -Eliza

 “Every morning when I’m getting dressed, I always make sure I have my arm candy on. Without my bracelets, I feel somewhat naked. Each bracelet is special to me for a different reason. I wear three Far Fetched cuff bracelets everyday- the first cuff is inscribed with the saying “Do what you love, love what you do.”- a saying that resonates with me. The next cuff reads ‘love’ in 7 different languages. The final cuff reads “Sisters….Forever” and was a gift from my sister and sister-in-law- the three of us all wear the same one. Finally, my wrist always has Pura Vida bracelets on it stacked alongside my Far Fetched cuffs. Pura Vida is a company I am proud to carry at Carnaby Street Style, and I think they make great accent pieces when you’re looking for just a touch of color to add to your wrist.” - Emma

"My bracelet set reminds me to live the life that I have dreamed of. The mint green Pura Vida bracelets are special to me because they remind me of a beautiful day this summer in England spent with my family and friends."- Lesley
