Catherine Michiels cutie bracelets: If you don't know, now you know...

Love bracelets? lining up your wrist like a line for Sprinkles cupcakes, on Santa Monica Blvd? Well these are for you! Embarassed to say I only recently discovered this gem of a designer. I love anything miniature, and when made using precious stones and metals. Its a double whammy! And the contrast of the fine materials, stones and metals against the plethora of multi-color silk ribbons, in which the charms dangle from, is something that made me whip that card out!



I first saw them at Ylang23 in Dallas, Texas. And luckily for all you lazy fashionistas, Ylang23 has the whole collection on their website. Starting at $150 and up, but obviously one of these bracelets would get rather lonely by itself, so I suggest buying at least three, and maybe throwing in some Sydney Evan bracelets (Also sold on Ylang23) and your Grand Mothers vintage Rolex for good measure! My favorites from the line are:

Marcellito, Le Monkey de l'Amour



Mudra, Sacred gesture of the hand in Sanskrit. The Buddhist symbol Vitarka-Mudra is a gesture of teaching and meditation.


Le petit Bob, I can never resist a skull! Whether it be Thomas Wylde or Mcqueen. And the sapphire eyes kind of sold it too...



Le Petit Marcel


Maximilien


And lastly Robo Bro, however I could continue. But by this point I guess it is safe to say I'm in love with the whole collection!



Oh, and don't worry Catherine calls her line 'spiritual'. So spending jubious amounts on these bracelets is all in the name of spiritual enlightenment. ;-)
