NEW Watch! + How to Style

The time has finally come: Bravelets' Time to Be Brave Watch is available! This is has been a great season of products for Bravelets, so we are very happy to introduce this new watch to you! You can shop this style here.

I personally LOVE the watch and I can't wait to have one in every color (okay, maybe that's a tad excessive...). I keep daydreaming about how to wear this watch. It's so versatile, especially since it comes in all of our 16 available colors. So, I put my imagination and love for bracelets to use and styled the watch in a couple different ways to show y'all.

What follows is called an Arm Party. I was really scared of the mystical and fashionable arm party for quite awhile. I didn't know what bracelets to include! I wasn't sure if I even had the right bracelets! But after searching the topic vigorously on Pinterest, I have come to one conclusion: Just like a regular party, there should be no rules to an arm party. 

With that being said, I do have some suggestions for your Bravelets arm party! Nowadays I rarely leave the house without one, so let me regale you with my extensive knowledge of stacking bracelets.

Bravelets bracelets used: Gold Signature Bar, Silver Audrey, Pink Original Rope, Army Green Friendship, Light Blue Audrey, Light Blue and Grey Amelia, Burgundy Audrey, Black Amelia.
Bravelets Watch colors used: Dark Blue, Lime Green, Pearl White

As you can see, there are simple arm parties and busy arm parties! You can do lots of color, B&W, and mix and match the type of bracelet. The best part about the Time to Be Brave Watch is how it makes a PERFECT focal point for your arm party! The key to any good arm of bracelets is balance and fit, if it's a bigger piece (i.e. bangles, large beads) place it farther up your arm. You can do a lot of the same type of bracelets or all different styles! 

Make sure to show us how you are styling your Time to Be Brave Watches, comment below when you get yours in the mail!

Where Bravelets Come From // China Trip + Guest Blogger!

Our jewelry suppliers are located in Guangzhou, China—about a two-hour train ride outside of Hong Kong—and once a year, CEO Stephanie Hansen travels to China and visits the supply houses there. Stephanie just got back and brought fun photos with her! This is your chance to see a little more of a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a Bravelet. I'm gonna let Stephanie get into it...

Bravery of the Day // BOTD

I'd like to start a new trend...bare with me. For those of you not well-versed in Instagram or deep into the blogosphere, I have some hastags to introduce you to: #OOTD, #JOTD, #FOTD, #POTD...etc. These are terms to identify things "of the day" or OTD. Outfit of the day, jewelry, food...you name it! This trend focuses on things that we do every day, something to define the entire 24 hours.
And what do we need every day? Bravery.

For those struggling with chronic illnesses, hard diagnoses, sick family members and more...bravery is so helpful for the every day. It's what Bravelets is modeled for. So, let's start another hashtag: #BraveryoftheDay or #BOTD for short. Post it on your instagram, twitter, and blog; or simply keep in it your heart! Find one reason, thought or being to be brave for every day.

For today, I would like to share with a you a video of the Bravelets Team celebrating at a company lunch a couple weeks ago. We are all brave for each other so that we can create the best environment for support, creativity and giving back! And we love to goof around, so that's a plus.

Be brave,

One More Rung Up the Ladder // Donations to Date!

Bravelets is ever-growing thanks to all the support we get from you guys! All of these donations we give to organizations and causes wouldn't be possible with all of the giving and inspiring people that support their causes through us. To think we were just at $1.5 million dollars in donations a couple months ago is crazy!!! We love to watch this number grow exponentially as each Bravelet is purchased. Here's to climbing the ladder to our goals and always supporting the causes we believe in!

A Brave Page is a platform to share your story and why your cause is so close to your heart. It also has a fundraising element to it: you can personally raise money for a cause, organization, family or friend in need of support. The Bravelet you wear is a conversation starter, a difference-maker, and a stylish piece of jewelry all in in one. Spreading you story through a Brave Page can inspire others to reach higher, give back, and most importantly: Be Brave. And that's exactly what this wonderful Brave Page owner has done.
