CC Skye Gets Kim’s Vote

It’s true.

Whenever a celeb endorses a product, we pay attention.

Today, it’s Kim Kardashian recommending CC Skye’s bangle collection with its fierce summer colors. In Kim’s blog post for July 23, she writes:

She is a Los Angeles native who traveled to all the way to Kathmandu, Nepal, to gain inspiration for her bohemian bracelets and bags. She even lived with a shaman in a mud hut in the hills of the Himalayas while filming a documentary on Hindus and Buddhists.

When she got back to the states, she says she began to approach design with a whole new perspective…

I am talking about designer CC Skye, and she makes the cutest accessories! I am so into bangle bracelets for the summer, and CC makes them in an array of eye-popping colors! 

Bangles are an awesome way to spice up a casual t-shirt and jeans look or can be worn when you’re dressed up and going out. 

Check out CC’s designs and let me know what you think!

See them for yourself.
