As a total ring magpie I thought I had seen them all, until I saw that beauty that is. Handmade in recycled sterling silver, plated with 24 carat rose gold and adorned with fair-trade sapphires, this beauty really does sum up the word unique.

Already a big fan of all skull & antler jewellery, my heart skipped a beat when I saw both come together – slightly bizarre and very unique! The red flower makes this otherwise dark piece surprisingly feminine & girlie.
Another week, another influx of amazingly creative and unique independent designers for Boticca.

With a limited number of ‘it’ dresses and a multitude of celebrities, it’s inevitable that sometimes, shock horror, celebs will be seen in the same ensemble. Here we take a look at these style twins and in a bid to make every look individual, we show you how the help of some unique accessories would win the style war every time.
Sandra Bullock Vs Paula Abdul
We say:
Proving that jumpsuits never go out of style, our two stars both wear this black ensemble beautifully. However, with a figure like Oscar winner Sandra Bullock’s we feel adding a belt like the Silver Crystal Bow Belt by Poupee Couture would both jazz it up and show off her enviable waist. With Paula on the right track, a necklace is definitely needed to bring this block color to life. With Paula’s chunky choker weighing her down too much, we would opt for the Conos Necklace by Paula Mendoza – ideal to add the perfect amount of sparkle. Last but not least, a true fashionista is never properly dressed without her handbag and we would love to see these ladies with Wilbur&Gussie’s Edith Silver Glitter clutch.
So Boticca fans – who wore it better? Leave your comment below.

I’d welcome a cold front if it meant staying warm with this hooded knit cape! I love Electronic Sheep’s illustrated knits, and this one would be a welcome addition to my A/W wardrobe!
