If there is one thing I like to do, it is to accessorize. I tend to lean towards classic clothing (with the occasional trendy pieces mixed in) and add fun accessories. One of my favorite easy and fun ways that I like to accessorize is with bracelets. Whether you call it the "stack," the #armparty, or your #armcandy it is definitely a way to accessorize that anyone can pull off!
Below are the items that I deemed "essential" for creating a great #armparty!
The watch: While some may not be a big fan of watches, I certainly am. Up until a few years ago I didn't wear watches, but now I can't go without wearing one! It allows me to tell time and add a little fun to my arm! I also love that watches come in a wide variety of price points and styles. Whether you are aMichael Kors gal or Anne Klein is more your budget, there are choices for everyone!
The link bracelet: I absolutely love the look of link bracelets. They seem to add a little bit of class (and sass) to every stack! I have one that is Lauren by Ralph Lauren that I wear religiously!
The bangle: Oh, the bangle...where to begin? There are so many options in bangles that it is unreal! From the Kate Spade Bow Bangle to the printed J.Crew bangles- there are an abundance of choices! I am always finding cute bangles (at great prices!) My latest finds have been from Target. The best part?? They seem to fit my teeny tiny wrists without falling off! Bangles are the perfect way to add color and pattern to your stack.
The cuff bracelet: These to me are "every day" type bracelets. They are pretty simple, yet can be paired with other bracelets to make the perfect stack! I love my David Yurman cuff bracelets and they rarely leave my wrist. Lately I have been seeing simple cuffs (like the gold ones above) that are just as cute and simple. Bauble Bar always has some cute ones!
The dainty bracelet: Some of my favorite bracelets are light, dainty bracelets that can be worn in multiples to make a cute (and light) stack. Target has a great selection of dainty tie bracelets that I love to wear in the summer, especially when it is so warm and I may be sweating a bit!! My Stella & Dot Renegade Cluster is another one of my favorites. It is a little trendy, yet still dainty enough to wear with most other bracelets!
How do you stack your #armparty?

After a slow start for car sales in January, Colombia is expected to pick up for the rest of this year with an estimated 315,000 units forecast to be sold, according to research carried out by multinational Spanish bank BBVA.
Car sales for January were down 4.2 percent year on year with 19,541 units sold in the last month according to Just-Auto news website. The slowdown in sales is thought to be due to consumers waiting to see if there is a drop in the value of the peso, which spent the last year increasing.
While the strengthening of the peso over 2012 meant more pressure on buyers, it also resulted in lower logistical costs for importing parts for assembly. As a result, the prices have remained relatively stable. Free Trade Agreements with the United States and Europe and possibly Korea, which is one of the biggest exporters of cars to Colombia, should help to keep the prices down in the future with a reduction in costs of importing parts.
A decade ago imported cars only represented 50 percent of sales, that rose to 70 percent in 2012. Around 68 car brands compete in the market. The price of iron fell by a massive 92 percent in 2012 according to Just-Auto which has also had a positive effect on the automobile industry.
Nearly 60 percent of vehicles are currently financed in Colombia, and a reduction in interest rates by the central bank should encourage more spending, lower interest rates across the board are expected for 2013 which will increase incentives to take out vehicle purchase loads.
In 2012 the average vehicle price rose by 1 percent, staying below the inflation rate which was around 2.4 percent. These low prices increased the buying power of households. According to BBVA, in 2010 a person would have needed 3.2 years of salary to buy an economy-range vehicle, this fell to 2.6 years by the end of 2012. This, along with a cut in tax on fuel prices, has enabled middle-to-lower income households to purchase a car.
It is expected that the price of larger-engine vehicles will not fall too much more as the majority of price-fall took place at the start of the FTAs. Colombia's vehicle stock will double over 10 years according to the forecast.

Wärtsilä develops inert gas solution for 17 new LNG Carriers
11 December 2015 at 10:00 AM E. Europe Standard Time
Inert-gas-GCU
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) in South Korea has contracted Wärtsilä to supply combined inert gas generators and gas combustion units for 17 new LNG Carrier vessels under construction at the company's yards. The vessels are being built for leading operators in Singapore, Greece, South Korea, Cyprus and Canada. These significant contracts with Wärtsilä were signed in June and September.
These will be the first ever units delivered by Wärtsilä that combine inert gas generators (IGG) and gas combustion units (GCU) with high capacity. The systems have a maximum volume of up to 3800 kg/h, which is sufficient for the industry's largest LNG carriers. The concept of combining the two systems was developed by Wärtsilä in close cooperation with DSME. The system uses an existing Wärtsilä Moss inert gas generator to burn the boil-off gas, thereby eliminating the need for a conventional gas combustion unit. This results in considerable capital expenditure savings. At the same time, by using the boil-off gas as fuel for creating inert gas, the combined system also provides notable operating cost savings.
The combined IGG-GCU system has a minimal environmental footprint. This is achieved through the replacement of a separate onboard system, and by using the boil-off gas for inert gas generation, which together minimise the extra use of marine diesel oil (MDO) fuel.
"Wärtsilä has a vast depth of experience in supplying advanced gas solutions for marine and offshore applications. These contracts demonstrate our leading position in this field. We appreciate the excellent cooperation with DSME in enabling the development of this combined IGG-GCU system," says Juha Kytölä, Vice President, Environmental Solutions, Wärtsilä.
"We are pleased to be working on this project with Wärtsilä, a company that we know well and respect. We have every confidence in their ability to provide an efficient, reliable, and safe solution for these vessels," says NS Kim, Junior Director, DSME.
Wärtsilä has earlier supplied smaller versions of the combined IGG-GCU system since its introduction in 2013. These new Wärtsilä contracts are scheduled to be delivered to the yard commencing in the third quarter of 2016.

A productive weekend has been had tackling the Khornate horde that's still waiting angrily on the painting desk. No radical conversions here (those will come later), just an irascible man with a big axe.
And his battle brother, an equally irate chap with a dangerous looking sword.
The completion of these two got me thinking that the Khornate squad is now getting rather large (thirteen models to be precise) and although I have a predilection for hordes of Chaos Marines I've decided to appease the Blood God by dividing the squads into two groups of eight warriors each. Truth be told this is almost entirely an excuse to make a new squad champion without having to retire old Magok Bloodcaller, the current squad champion. The idea has revitalised my interest in Khorne and a new champion is already half-built. Naturally I'll need some more warriors to fill out the new squad as well so watch this space!
My efforts to clear my desk of Khorne Berserkers continues apace. With this model I tried to achieve a taller, slimmer look, emphasised by the 'bunny ears' on the helmet, the long haft of the axe and the smaller shoulder pads.
Here's a group shot of the whole squad so far (click it to make it bigger – you know how this works by now!). Cower behind your defences men of the Imperium – there's more on their way!
In spite of their popularity as perhaps the most iconic of all fantasy races (sorry dwarves!) it wasn't until recently that I started to recognise the appeal of elves. Too often they have been presented in a way that focussed only on their glory and never on their flaws. Hyperbole is everywhere – they are wiser and more talented in every way than mere humans and long-lived to the point of near immortality. Whilst we are often ugly, cowardly and uncultured, and always bedevilled by age, sickness and death, these natural aristocrats remain forever young and beautiful, an eternal master race. Generally their only flaw is their arrogance, which only serves to make the face that they are practically perfect in every way so much more grating. I like my heroes grubby and imperfect and my fey folk devilish wildwood dwellers, the treacherous creatures of northern European myth and Brian Froud paintings, not the gentle, civilised people of Tolkien but the otherworldly shamanic creatures feared by the Gaels and Norse alike. The idea of collecting any elven miniatures therefore was, for a long time, a non-issue. If I wanted a superior race of magically powerful immortals to contemptuously survey the human herd then my allegiance was to the Vampire Counts, and that was that. It wasn't until the release of the newest edition of the Wood Elves from Games Workshop, followed swiftly by the merging of the elven races in the End Times that I began to change my mind. Partly it's the fact that many of the new Wood Elf kits are just gorgeous, a welcome result for a faction which had previously suffered from having some of the worst sculpts in Games Workshop's catalogue. More than that however, I became drawn to the idea of creating a wild hunt, blending elements of the Dark and Wood Elves to create a savage sylvan host, the elemental ferocity of the forest unleashed. It's an image which has stuck with me, yet to be built but growing organically in my mind's eye; packs of witch elves and blood-fed dryads, sorceresses leading the host from atop their mobile shrines, treemen and ancient forest gods awaking to furious life.
All of which brings me to this weekend's Sylvaneth release. Through Silver Tower we've already seen some of Games Workshop's concepts for a new, much more savage and alien aspect to the elves, now it's the turn of the dryads and treemen. Age of Sigmar has been categorised by the over-the-top appearance of its models. Restraint has been cast aside and everything needs to be bigger and crazier than ever before. Now this is far from a bad thing, this is fantasy after all, but it has meant that when they've overcooked things they've tended to do it quite spectacularly. Thus I awaited this release with a degree of trepidation. If they pulled it off this could be a treasure trove for my elves, but for every hit recently there's been a miss; for every slaughterpriest or maw-krusha there's been a warchanter or celestant-prime. Luckily, my fears have not been realised and, for the most part, the Sylvaneth stay just the right side of silly. There are a few close calls – Alarielle herself comes close to overegging it but somehow remains brilliant rather than ridiculous. Likewise the new incarnation of Drycha is a little silly (I feel like someone at the design studio said "Trees are cool, dreadnaughts are cool, why not?!') although adjusting the pose the snipping off the trailing insects should be more than enough to redeem her. These are balanced by some moments of real brilliance; the Branchwytch for instance, the revenants and or the huge slabs of honeycomb on Drycha's armour (which is almost enough for me to forgive them for dragging another Warhammer character back from the grave).
The longer I looked at this release the more I became convinced I'd seen something in this style before and, looking at Alarielle's giant beetle steed it suddenly clicked. This is not a reimagining of Games Workshops Wood Elves but a resurrection of Rackham's Daikinee.
A Mandigorn Warrior by Rackham. Like Alarielle the Daikinee were gripped by bettlemania.
Spot the difference; a Daikinee Sylvan Animae and a Sylvaneth Spite Revenant.
For the whippersnappers out there Rackham was a French miniatures company rightly famed for the quality of their miniatures. Sadly they collapsed following a radical shift in direction that alienated many fans, switching from a square-based skirmish game to a round-based rank-and-file set-up. The name of this new game, for those not already feeling a vertiginous sense of déjà-vu was 'Age of Rag'narok'. The nail in the coffin was the decision to abandon their former range for pre-painted plastics and, with recession already haunting economies around the globe and their fans abandoning them, they went to the wall in short order. Rumour has it that Games Workshop recruited many of the suddenly unemployed Rackham sculptors although I confess I'm sufficiently out of the loop on these things now that I may barking up the wrong tree (pun very definitely intended). Whatever the truth of what happened the Daikinee remain one of the most beautiful and original interpretations of the wood elf concept ever created, especially when compared to Games Workshop models of a similar vintage. If this is their rebirth then that alone is worthy of celebration.
