Attractive cable guide solution

As I type this I'm realizing that this may not be the perfect subforum for this question but I only ever post here and I figure answers might be applicable the situations other than mine specifically. So here goes:

Can anyone recommend a brake cable routing solution for frames or forks with no cable guides? I'm aware of those metal clamps but those are ugly IMO and zip ties don't quite do it for me either. I'm sure some of you running rear brakes have come up with something that looks a bit more elegant.

Here are the specifics of my situation:
I'm running a beautiful wound up carbon fork with a disc brake. The fork has no cable guides so right now the cable is secured to the fork with a black zip tie. I'm totally nitpicking here, but I just don't like how it looks. There's got to be a better way right?
