I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends
Friendship bracelets, those colorful, casual bracelets you traded on the playground and wore 'til they literally fell off, are shaping up to be one of summer's most ubiquitous accessories.
They started creeping back into fashion last year, and now we're seeing fashion-y girls and boys in L.A. sporting armloads of them. They're especially cute when co-mingling with a mess of metal bangles, early Madonna-style.
With the greeting card company-created National Friendship Day coming up on August 8 (great idea, Hallmark!), we thought it prudent to round up some of our favorite friendship bracelets around. Because we really like you, and are considering asking you to sleep over.
