Look for Less: Lucite Bangles

I've been stalking the Patricia von Muslin cuff above for months. It's $650, which is waaay to much to pay for a clear bracelet. I've been on the prowl for plain lucite bangles since they go with so much (think prowl in the sense of the F/W 2010 Giuseppe Leopard booties, not a lion off of the Discovery channel). Last week I stopped by Rugged Wearhouse and found 2 for $3.99 each!!! Awesome bargain.
 

LOOK FOR LESS

There is a slight DISCLAIMER- if you go looking for these bracelets, you may come out empty handed. Rugged is like the flea market. They sells a bunch of random sh!t crap, so good luck.

On a different note, this lucite trunk would be hot as a coffee table!

I See You

When I saw the Michael Kors necklace (3) at Elle.com, I almost fainted! I love lucite jewelry. You can wear it practically everywhere, and with almost everything. Jeweler Alexis Bittar teamed up with Michael Kors for their second exclusive collection for spring. I would be a committing a fashion crime if I failed to acknowledge the lucite trim Louboutins (1) and lucite cuff by J. Mendel (2) (pause for a moment of silence....OK, resume). The necklace retails for $695, which exceeds my price range. So I was thrilled to find a similar necklace at T.J. Maxx this weekend for $16.99.
