Crossing the cultural barriers of your everyday adornment on your suntanned crusty surfer to fashion editors around the world..I've always loved me some rainbow friendship band action.

    woohoo this post made me smile instantly. not only the bracelets, but the beautiful bright colors. I remember the bracelets, i have worn them a lot especially on festivals (don(t know why). oh and in my hair too. and the thing was, you could not get them out, you had to cut them of.

    I love as well. Every summer I make some dozen in bright colours and wear them under my crispy white shirt and suit. I love to see my clients reactions when suddenly they pop out of my sleeve.Haha!
    Absolutely adore this trend!
