Gold ‘Round My Neck

{Because run-of-the-mill camera straps are fug}

In the fight against repugnant from-the-box camera straps, I’ve tried it all: Bedazzling one myself (my DIY skills are negative 5 on a scale from 1 to 10 — you do the math), purchasing a crystal-covered strap from some janky website (62 crystals plucked off upon first-time wear) and acutely concentrating on one — poof! — matriculating from the sky and falling into my clutches. These concerted efforts all resulted in trifold failures, naturally.

Leave it to a 5-hour Pinterest bender (I was killing time before the Breaking Bad finale. Swearskies.) to satiate my thirst. On the everything-you-never-knew-you-needed platform, I unearthed the sequin-y superness that is Bloom Theory. Golden goodness aside, the straps are padded for extra comfort and now my lens is all dressed up and camera-ready for its own selfie.

You dig it?
