Inspired by: Eat, Pray, Love

This past weekend, jewelry was one of the only things that wasn't considered tax free. Naturally, I gravitated toward bling every time I stepped foot in a store. It quickly became necessary to satisfy my jewelry craving before I blew my entire back-to-school budget on bangles from Kate Spade, so I popped into 10,000 Villages.

With over 70 retail locations across the US, 10,000 Villages strives to provide fair income to Third World artisans by marketing their products to shoppers in the US and Canada. It's always my go-to store for affordable, eye-catching jewelry. This trip I came home with two unique bracelets.

Both bangles were made in India and have a very Eat, Pray, Love feel to them. One is beautifully hand painted with an intricate design, and the other, a simple pewter bolt.  At $10 each, I challenge you to find a better deal.
