Sunday Steals: Kenneth Jay Lane Enamel Giraffe Bangle on a Budget

Kitty cats, to the left feast your eyes upon Kenneth Jay Lane’s enticing Enamel Giraffe Bangle; to the right take a gander at Forever 21’s Giraffe Love Bracelet.

Though the Lane lovely proffers more goldtone embellishments than the irresistible Forever 21 gem; for just $7.80, in comparison to the kitschy $115.00 asking price of the Kenneth piece, it is every bit as capable of adding a splash of animalistic wildness to one’s wardrobe – at a price that’s right for everyone!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this sultry Sunday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Macy’s and Forever 21 for the pictures.

  19. Wow- animal print in jewellery. Lovely idea

  20. When it comes to accessories, I'd rather spend a little money so I know I'm getting something that's a good quality. I do have some accessories from Forever 21, but they always change color. And their rings turn my fingers green, lol. So I would definitely splurge and go for the Kenneth Jay Lane bangle. It looks fabulous!

  21. Omg omg omgzzzz!! I love this bracelet so freaking much. Thanks for reminding me that I need to haul my butt over to F21 this week. Lol. :)

  22. Thank you for the comment. I thought those names were adorable too, but no one else seemed to understand! I like the others too.

    Those bracelets are darling. I think I'll go for the Forever 21 one, much more my budget lately!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Nice find! I'd definitely go for the cheaper version! Both would be so fun to wear with an LBD for a little bit of spice!

    ReplyDelete
  24. For the meantime, I will just stick with F21
    bracelet. KJL bracelet is too heavy in my pocket.

    Have a great day, Darling!

  25. SUCH a fun piece! I'd definitely go the Forever21 route on this one; I prefer to spend a bit less on costume jewelry.

  39. I'm not much into wearing enamel animals on my wrists -- or at least I haven't in years! -- but if I were these are both really cute and fun picks!

    ReplyDelete
  40. This one is tough! But since I'm into white and gold lately, I think I'd spring for the KJL bangle!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Gotta say, I think I like the F21 version better! They just keep stepping up their game!

    ReplyDelete
