I have been obsessing about beautiful bracelets for most of this year – there is a slideshow this week from Dallas News of some of the newer (and mostly high end) bracelets and cuffs that have been all the rage, and are going to continue to be through the fall.  Definitely check it out here.

The one pictured here is not in the slideshow, but is the one (ok 6) that I am currently lusting after.  Sterling plus brightly colored leather.  Ooh la la, and $158 each at Nordies.  *sigh*
