Alex + Ani Experience

Alex and Ani started to be a big thing at Fordham last fall, and while the bangles piqued my interest, I never bought any. I always felt like they were the kind of meaningful things that should be gifted, so that they'll remind me of whoever gave them to me.

So, after months of hinting to my mom that I'd like to receive one every time we drove past the store, she gave in.

On Sunday we went in and spent an unnecessary amount of time in the store choosing the right pieces for Bridget and myself.
Ultimately, she ended up getting us matching "Path of Life" bangles, and then let us choose another. I chose a silver beaded wrap, and Pidge got a feather.

What I love about the bangles are the meaning behind them. The Path of Life is totally relevant to everything happening in my life right now, and it's nice to have a constant reminder on my wrist that my mom believes in me, and that everything will work out in the end.

I also love that Bridget and I have matching ones. They act like the friendship bracelets she won't let us get...

Don't they go so well with my "love life, be brave" cuff??

To be completely honest, though, I wouldn't add more than one more to the stack. Too much dangling and clinking gets to me. But I do love how the little stack I have looks.
