What's the next best thing to having your own boat? OK, a friend with a boat. Thirdly, it's channeling cruise with a cool dose of nautical chic. Campy friendships bracelets have experienced an apparent wind and roped, corded, and anchored bracelets are aloft.
In line with the nautical brigade that's swept fashion, my first crush was Miansai's vast selection of rope bracelets. Ahoy, I wasn't the only fan: J.Crew recently swooped them up. For something neon-like, Links of London's silver and cord bracelets are a pretty penny favorite. For a quicker, cheaper fix, Rugby's classic Nantucket braided bracelets; for a chunkier stunner, behold Proenza Schouler's take made of climbing rope and raffia and cinched with a mini carabiner. Sailormade's effortless black and white Camden wrap combo is build to last with Classic Brummel hooks and real sailing rope and can be found at Unionmade.
No, it's not too early to start planning your outfit for the America's Cup in 2013.
