A Global Demand for Arm Candy... Published on Tuesday 8th May 2007
Wow, you know you have created a ‘must-have’ when you’re globally in demand. And that’s exactly what CCSkye has achieved with her new uber funky jewellery and accessories line.
If her name doesn’t ring a bell then you will certainly recognise her woven leather and 18k gold chain bracelets, made famous by none other than style icon Nicole Ritchie. She wore them religiously on The Simple Life set and since then they’ve become infectiously fashionable. So much so that they’re now standard arm candy for celebs such as Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson.
When I eagerly tapped onto the Bunny Hug site to bag myself one of these little hot-cakes I found myself ‘adding to shopping cart’ like a mad woman.
The new collection is totally fabulous. In CCSkye’s own words she describes her work as “edgy but elegant” and you’ll no doubt agree that there’s a definite Rock Chic (no pun intended) element.
Feathers, gem stones and chains combined give the collection such a unique stamp, and it’s done in a way that doesn’t scream ‘look at my bling’ but rather ‘aren’t I cool’. This brand is certainly worth a tap. (and yes, perfect presents for friends…hint hint!).
