FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS FOREVER The last time I tried my hand at friendship bracelets, I was in summer camp. Needless to say, it’s been a few years. But for a little extra flair, it’s the perfect poolside accessory (by the time it’s frayed and faded, you’ll be ready for new fall fashions anyway). Apparently, I’m not the only person craving this item’s comeback. From Chan Luu’s soon-to-come leather and semiprecious stone stackables for Banana Republic to Nikki B’s simple thread and sterling-silver bead version at Barneys to one of the dozens of classic versions on Etsy, the options are aplenty. Or simply try making one yourself with the A Little Help from My Friendship Bracelet Kit ($20 at modcloth.com).
