A little while back, while doing my normal interweb rounds, I came across a great post by Johnny over at FREE/MAN, about the often over looked accessory, the bracelet. This minuscule accessory can often add just enough color to break up the most drab or monochromatic color combos. During the spring/summer, I usually don’t even leave the house without one on, and this season is shaping up to have plenty of options for any occasion/fit you can come up with. Pictured is one of my favorite new releases, currently available from the Brooklyn Circus. This is a flexible band bracelet, made by the company Chamula, totally by hand in Mexico. Constructed out of horsehair, with a native american design woven into it, it is by no means dry or scratchy like you might assume. The color contrast of the pattern makes these a beautiful accent piece, but you can also reverse the bend and rock it as a more subtle, solid colored bracelet. Either way a great piece to own.
Check this and the rest of the Brooklyn Circus’ spring accessory offerings out, also swing over to FREE/MAN and read the full write up on braclets by brands you may not be familiar with.
Its not very often that people seek my opinion on things, usually I just blurt it out followed by a stream of four letter words. Fortunately for me, the great guys over at Free/Man, were kind enough to include me in their S/S interview series. The piece went live yesterday, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out, and from my analytics, it generated a nice bit of site love. So to my new readers I say, thank you for stopping through, I hope you stick around for the fun, and to my regulars, high five! Here is a direct link to the interview itself for those of you interested in checking it out.
…It’s not about how other people see you. What works for you? And what works for you might not work for somebody else.
Today marks the first day of the relaunch of Free/Man, a site dedicated to quality, style and individuality. I’ve been following Darian’s blog for some time now, and he recently hinted that he was up to something. After pulling the cover off of an amazingly clean and stylish redesign, I can see why he kept quiet. With this relaunch, comes an addition to the Free/Man staff in Luis Valdizon of Minoru Blvd, as Art Director. I know this partnership will spawn amazing things, and you should definitely keep an eye out for them in the coming months. I’d like to say congrats to my friends on the relaunch and future success.
