getting crafty: modern friendship bracelets

So Alex and I have been obsessing all year about the laundry list of fun things that we're going to do this summer. This list, which we have actually written down, includes making funkalicious headbands and bracelets for ourselves and our friends. I was very excited to see this post on refinery29 yesterday with pictures of diy-looking jewelry by Lizzie Fortunato for UO: the perfect inspiration for our arts and crafts endeavors!



Also on my mind are the amazing "friendship bracelets" by Teen Vogue's Mary-Kate Steinmiller, which are sold at the Charlotte Ronson store in SoHo. While working at Teen Vogue last summer, I always noticed that Mary-Kate always did wear the best bracelets, so I was psyched to see that she was designing some herself.

Here is a link to a clip from the one episode of MTV's attempt at reviving House of Style, in which MK and Charlotte Ronson show us how to make these adorable bracelets.

Can't wait to hit up M&J when I get back to the city!!

Peace, Love and Neon,
Marisa

  2. it's so odd that you posted this because I was just thinking today how I could diy some bracelets like that- did NOT want to spend 28 bucks on similar ones at urban!
