I am in love with this brand new belt from Bender Buckles. The founder of the brand lives here in Boise, and I met with her sister last week to chat it up over coffee. We had a blast and I got to learn all about the brand (and meet a new friend!). The woman who runs Bender Buckles is a chemical engineer who is married to a Blackhawk pilot in the National Guard—so as you can expect, I had an instant connection since Daniel is in the Air National Guard. When her husband was transferred to Idaho, there wasn't much of a job selection for her, so she came up with this innovative, patent-pending product!
What are Bender Buckles, you may ask? They're interchangeable & magnetic belt buckles that you can swap in and out to match your outfit! You purchase a belt and a magnetic base buckle, then as many magnetic buckle faces as you would like and let the buckle party begin! I picked the wooden chevron buckle and I'm in love with it. Each buckle is hand-crafted with printed patterns, hand-painted patterns or wood underneath hand-poured resin, and they even have rhinestone buckles where they hand-glue each little sparkly piece.

You look amazing, as always! I love the belt!
This is adorable!!
This entire outfit is adorable!
Thanks, Kelly! I couldn't resist it. The last time I got a white belt was in 2006, so I was in need of a new one. I couldn't have picked a better one that this one where I can change the buckles in and out!
Atta girl. Tee and jeans or a top and shorts... and always a pair of sneakers!
Can you believe it's wood? I just love it too!
Thank you so much, Kateri. If you do happen to go check out their shop, don't hesitate if you see something you like. I already have 2-3 buckles I want to buy!
I know, it does take a long time! But think... it's been growing for over a year and a half! I wear it up a lot during the week so I don't notice it until I let it air-dry down on the weekends :) Oh, and I was inside a LOT that day, so had no problem with the sleeves... but if I were going to be outside? No way, Jose!
Thanks! I've had them for ages and ages... maybe even since high school... and they have hardly aged a bit. Looking back, they may be yellowing a tiny bit, but that's what gives them character!
Brooke, we are on the same page, sister! Thank you so much!
Me too, not too overwhelming, but totally gives the outfit a tad bit of character. Thanks Sandy!
Thanks Kelsey! You would look rockin' in one of them, too. With your great photos & bod, you could pull one off really well!
Thanks Grace! Man, I appreciate that!
Thanks, Niki! This outfit is all sorts of simple with a little bit of sass!
Ahhh thanks, girl! That means a lot!
Thanks Cassie! It felt comfy and easy! I appreciate that!
Your welcome!! It's true too.
Those buckles are amazing, you look beautiful! I would love you to link up to my new style linky Fashion Friday if you liked http://mummysgotstyle.com/fashion-friday-launches/
So fun! Going to check it out now!
First of all, you have really good legs. I say that in a totally non-creeper way. Secondly, I LOVE this outfit. So simple but really cute.
That's the BEST compliment! Thank you thank you!!
right!
