Pura Vida, “Pure Life,” inspired by the beauty and simplicity of life is a line of friendship bracelets handmade by artisans in Costa Rica, in a unique combination of colors. While we love a good friendship bracelet, what we love even more is the fact that the line serves as a vehicle for  local artisans to make a living out of  their craft. Take a look at the vast assortment of covetable bracelets here. Of course we advocate for piling on as many as you, can and rock what is being called  “arm party”! On the next page a closer look at the brand’s lifestyle  video .

Proenza Schouler is offering a collection of “Bright,” unisex rope bracelets. Opening Ceremony put these up yesterday, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Meanwhile the Proenza Schouler runway show is tomorrow and this may be very New York City-ish centric, but there’s this bit of a tug of a war as to who is lately grabbing more of the Downtown girls’ fickle heart–the Proenza Schouler or Alexander Wang (insert which would you rather poll here–PS-1 or Rocco).

And not that her opinion impacts this particular debate but NY Times critic Cathy Horyn is clearly not feeling Alex Wang still. After slamming his Spring collection flat out (it wasn’t his time, Cathy), this time around she said more or less his show had only a few okay pieces and that it didn’t matter anyway because he makes it up as he goes along because what you see on the runway is not what you see at retail. Like, whatever, Alex! But then she very criptically made a comment about designer Daryl K, and how her clothes are great, but somehow she doesn’t have the same success as Alex & co. (could it be she had kids and was semi-retired and dealing with the near death of her label for a hot minute??) Anyway, more of those “Bright” bracelets on the next page.
