I had been saying that Aurelie Bidermann's braided bracelets reminded me of the friendship bands we used to make for each other and wore until they disintegrated. Well, I got one for Christmas, unexpectedly.
Even more unexpectedly, for a no-jewellery person, I've been wearing it often. It's thin enough to wear with my watch without scratching the watch, and I like the way they look together - it's less serious, more laidback, a little kitsch. It's has the look of a lucky charm. And something about the burst of colour looks right for life in the tropics.
My only complaint? The paper clip fastening makes it a total bitch to put on and take off by myself. I've bought an cheapo little clasp and attached it to make my own fastening. Speeds things up quite a bit.

It looks nice. I agree that it looks laid back and warm-weather appropriate.
cute
For some reason, I've been eying a couple of bracelets as well, and I'm not even a big jewelry wearer. I wonder if I'm subconsciously seeing it more on blogs and photos...
Love it, and love your watch! Do you mind me asking what it is?

Pretty! What type of watch are you wearing it looks amazing.
Hmmm, fun look, but the watch can hold its own. ;)
It has an isabel marant vibe about it ;)
I was just looking at Aurelie Bidermann's bracelets on NAP and thought they looked like friendship bracelets from my teens too! Instead of dishing out 100 euros+, I found some on etsy that were similar and some that I liked even more for under $15. I'm also not a jewelry person but do find the hippy braided bracelets appealing. It looks very pretty on your wrist.
I will always love that gorgeous watch on it's own. It's just such a statement piece that needs nothing else IMHO.
I love Wendy's idea. I know when Teen Vogue couldn't get a hold of these bracelets Mary Kate Steinmiller made them and contunues to sell them.
Quinn, Pret a Porter P: Thanks!
Amanda: Maybe all the arm candy street style shorts are rubbing off on us, haha. My obsession was actually with delicate rings for a while, but I've held back so far.
I'm truly not a jewellery girl so I wouldn't have parted money for this, but as a gift, it's novel.
petrichore, joy: It's a Cartier Tank Solo, a gift to myself when I changed jobs last year.
editor: I tend to think so too!
catssaymeow: I'd take your word for it...I haven't seen much Isabel Marant jewellery myself, haha.
Wendy: I just checked out etsy, you are quite right, haha.
Lindsay K: I remember seeing those on The Coveteur, I like the kitschy-ness!
