Load your arm up with these beauties

A cuff or chunky bangle is the perfect way to brighten up an old outfit, without spending too much money. It's cold outside and the news is full of credit crunch stories so why not cheer yourself up by treating you arm to a little bit of bling.

FemaleFirst is here to help, we've found the best selection on the high street and, even better news, they are all under £10! You can get yourself a little pick me up without stressing over your bank balance!

We love this gold and diamante cuff from River Island, it just makes the cut at £9.99. Wear it high up your arm for a really glamorous look. It would look perfect with a little black dress and a couple of thin gold chain. Keep accessories minimal if you go for this look as you want to keep all eyes on the cuff.

This purple bangle, £6 from Miss Selfridge is perfect for this season. We know we keep banging on about it but purple is the colour of the moment. If you just want to dip you toe into the colour trend without going full on purple then this bangle is the perfect way to earn your fashion stripes.

This multicolour bangle, £8 from ASOS has such a unique look about it you'd swear it was designer. The scribble effect gives it an edgy look and makes it a real stand out piece. Load your arm with this and some plain black or gold bangles to get the maximum effect from it.

This Dorothy Perkins's bangle is so on trend. Peacock feathers are going to be huge this season so get in on the act early with this beauty. Remember to keep feathers to a minimum of one piece an outfit though unless you want to look like an actual bird.

Guilt free treats - our favourite things!
