very cool Softie..the ribbon is very Lavin'ish sort of a mix between a big beaded Mary-Kate necklace and a sophisticated Lavin necklace..

 

[helena]

they are gorge! Love the ribbons.

 

[softgrey]

apparently some of my least fave celebs in LA are sporting them...
but i don't care...

i just love em...

urban outfitters also has them in colours-red and turquoise...
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop...ODUCT&iMainCat=77&iSubCat=554&iProductID=7084
but i think that makes them look junky and trendy...

i prefer the more muted 'natural' colours...

 

[helena]

they are extremely nice softgrey. I like the cream coloured ones too.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

[ironic]

Love them! I'm sure you'll work them into your wardrobe without it looking too trendy

 

[softgrey]

They are also available at aboutattitude.com

But I don't understand why do they cost so much more at Urban outfitters and aboutattitude, while the price is much more reasonable at hilohattie and abcstores ...

I have been wearing mine very often! They are in black, so everyone calls them my "Buddha" beads

Hope you enjoy them Softgrey!

Because kukui nut necklaces are not a trendy item in Hawaii where those two stores are based. They've always had them in stock, except they are more for tourists than anyone else, although Hilo Hattie tries to sell themselves to the locals as well.

So I see.
Thanks for the explaination

 

[cloud9]

heee.. i have one too

 

[impossibleprincess]

oh wow! I've seen these somewhere, can't remember where. Maybe it was urban outiftters. The ribbon makes it so much better. Is there any way you can wear it with the ribbon in front? I like the black too.
