The return of the bracelet stack for summer 2020

bucket bag trend 2020

They’re baaaaa-aaaaaack!

Stacking up a ton of bracelets is back! It may just be the hottest jewelry trend this summer. So, grab all your bangles, bracelets and cuffs-and stack ’em up!

This is a really fun trend because you don’t have to choose which bracelet to wear with your outfit; you can wear them all! Hopefully you have your stackable bracelets collecting dust in your jewelry box from roughly eight years ago when everyone’s arms were having a party. If you want to freshen up your stack, the perfect bracelet to add to your stack, in order to make it truly 2020, is a chain bracelet.

Chain bracelets and chain necklaces were hotter than hot in the ’80’s and early ’90’s. This chunky, funky jewelry style is back; and it is begging to be stacked with the bracelets you already own in your collection. It’s an easy way to update your bracelet stack. Love that!

While gold-tone bracelet stacks are the ultimate metal color, you can mix and match any metal color your choose. If you prefer silver or rose gold, or you like black metals, stack ’em up! The fun thing about bracelet stacks is that they are individual. No-one else will stack like you. You may match with someone else with one bracelet, but there is a 99.9% chance your other bracelets will not match someone else. That means your bracelet stack will be unique, and very you! Love!

What do you think of the bracelet stack trend? Did you rock it last time? Will you wear it this time? I wore it last time, and I am loving it this time!

My favorite summer 2020 handbag trends are the 90’s baguette, straw bags, bright colors and metallics, soft pouches, and bucket bags. Hobo bags are emerging as a hot trend for fall. They still feel a little old fashion to me, but I will give the trend a try with one from my collection. Over-sized bags, which will be huge this fall, are hard to wear on a daily basis. I always find my things get lost inside! It’s definitely a treasure hunt kind of bag. haha

Starting to reopen

Things are starting to reopen! My daughter had her 8th grade graduation over live-stream at the end of last week. Since we were not able to take her out to a restaurant with family and celebrate, we picked up take-out food to enjoy at home. This was the first time we picked up take-out since the lockdown. It’s so nice to start to see things reopen here!

Despite things starting to reopen, it is definitely weird out there! We picked up macarons at Cocola, which is located on Santana Row. Most of the shops were boarded up, with restaurants open for take-out only. There was a handful of people taking a walk down Santana Row, with about 90% of people wearing masks. I wish everyone would wear a mask so we can get through this easier! But I digress. . .

It was so nice to actually go to Cocola. We waited in line outside, six feet apart from other people. They allowed one person inside at a time. It was clean, quick, and easy to pick up their delicious macarons for my daughter. She was so excited and happy to enjoy her favorite treat from Cocola as we celebrated her graduation.

Later in the day, we picked up sushi from Sushi Heaven in Saratoga for her celebratory dinner. They had a huge table blocking the restaurant off from the public. It was really well organized. They handed me my order and I paid, all while staying feet apart and wearing masks. This was the first time I didn’t cook dinner since early March! It was so surreal.

It is really nice to see things starting to reopen around here. I think we are one of the most locked down areas in the country. I see my friends in other states dining out, and going about their business as if nothing happened. I cannot wait until we get there. Until then, we are enjoying the tiny little things that reopen slowly.

Thanks for stopping by!
