Trendspotting: Rope Bracelets

Now I, like many of you, spent several of my summers in camp. Swimming, surfing, and sailing camp to be exact. Unfortunately, while fun in their own right, those camps were hardly the Wet Hot American Summer experience. If only Paul Rudd had been my swim coach....

Okay back to reality. The reason why I'm bringing up camp is because of a trend I've been spying all over town- rope bracelets. Talk about taking the friendship bracelet to the next level. A constant in camp/preppy culture, rope bracelets are the epitome of effortless cool. I mean, once I spotted the one below on Miss Blair of Atlantic-Pacific at the Alice + Olivia store opening, I knew it was time to add a rope bracelet to my arm party.

So I've done some research and the ones I've selected below are my favorites. They come in all shapes, sizes, and styles but I just can't seem to choose! So tell me T&S readers, which one is YOUR favorite!?
