Style Vita-lity

You have seen them on the lovely wrists of Hollywood trendsetters. Even Cameron Diaz was snapped by the paps sporting one on in gold while kissing the new man of her life.

So you still didn't get it, do you? Well ladies and girls, brace yourself for the new fad in town - the Vita bangles.

A stylish brainchild of Los Angeles-based jewelry designer Cynthia Sakai, Vita bangles have made not just the Hollywood style arbiters but also stylish girls around the world gaga. Charmingly contemporary and full of elegance, these Vita bangles are luxuries that one can always afford.

Why do I say it as a luxury? First, these exceptional bangles aren't just your typical designer bangles or bracelets. Instead, they are designer items created with full passion and interest.

Second, these intricate pieces of art are fully made in Florence, Italy - the center of Italian leather craft. Don't be surprised if I say that they are handcrafted by the same artisans who have crafted those sought after high end leather goods pieces by Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Gucci just to name a few.

Made from a bevy of posh and exotic materials such as snake skin, leather, and even solid precious metals such as gold, to date, Vita accessories are carried by more than 20 stores around the world as well as within the cyberspace.

Besides enjoying high publicity through the wrists of highly celebrated celebrities and trendsetters of Hollywood such as Desperate Housewives and Over Her Dead Body actress Eva Longoria, who sported a stack of them at an event recently, Vita accessories too enjoyed high exposure from the global media.

Glossy fashion bibles such as inStyle, Glamour, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar in a variety of international editions are known to feature not just one but most of the must-have pieces on their hallowed 'must have' accessories pages. Not to mention on renowned online fashion digest too such as Kuwaiti's Dia Diwan.

Thinking on how to spice up your wardrobe this summer? All you have to do is just add a stack of Vita's snakeskin bangles in a plethora of vivid summer colors and you're ready to rock the town. Isn't that simple, girls?

At the moment, the closest retailer to Malaysia that carries these lovely 'it' bangles are Quintessential and Bag Aficionados in Singapore but soon, you don't have to travel south anymore because Vita accessories will be available to the fashion hunger masses of Malaysia at the chic Lush Icon boutique, located in Avenue K.

So girls, start saving up now and invest in these intricate pieces of luxury from Vita by Cynthia Sakai for this summer. Vita's spring/summer 2008 bangles and other accessories will be available exclusively to Lush Icon this July.
