i admit – these are pretty far from my normal prep-tastic tastes.  every time i try to pull off punk, i just end up feeling old.  but for some reason, these studded leather cuffs from hayden-harnett are just rubbing me the right way.  i love the ’80s vibe, which is just subtle enough to work perfectly.  and i love the color combos.  that purple/black version is my fave, but the brandy/gold is a close second.  if the cuff isn’t really your style, the ramone is a slimmer version that buckles on – so you wear it like a watch.  it reminds me an awful lot of an hermes medor watch, but with a little more edge (and a much smaller pricetag).  if you’re looking for more subtle still, check out the celina, which feels a bit like a very hip, very updated id bracelet.

accessories like these are a new venture for hayden-harnett, a line i sometimes think of more for the younger fashionistas among us.  but i love this new direction – it’s sophisticated enough to let your inner punk come out, without compromising on chic.  if this keeps up, i’m going to have to start investigating the rest of the line!

whichever style you’re feeling, you can snag one for $80-90 over at HH’s website – a steal once you see the fantastic leather quality and design detail on these.  these are definitely high on my list for hot spring accessories!
