A charming Skulk of Foxes

I was lucky enough to stumble across A Skulk of Foxes today - an enchanting Australian jewellery line featuring a clutch of woodland creatures. The acrylic brooches will look delightful on a winter coat and I'm jonesing for the antler studs made from recycled scraps of silver. Enjoy.

Rabbits, birdies, squirrels and more are available here.

Child's Play

A recent browse of Browns jewellery selection took me back to my school days when friendship bracelets, dummy necklaces, and jelly rings were all a girl needed to accessorize. Sweet.

Remember those snap bracelets? Kara Ross' croc leather cuff is the grown-up version, with a very adult price tag of £235.

Marni's freakish doll brooch looks awfully similar to one I made in primary school...stick a safety pin in yours and save yourself £145.

Carolina Bucci's £135 charity bracelets remind me of the hair bobbles that gave you the perfect high-pony and an unnecessary face-lift at the age of 13.

This ring may be Lanvin but there's no escaping the Christmas-cracker associations - I would have been delighted to have found a £175 toy in mine all those years ago.

Missoni's gem cuff is like a sweetie bracelet, only you can't eat it and it costs £90. Where's the fun in that?

Furniture for your wrist

Ever fancied wearing your sofa on your wrist? No? Me neither. At least not the entire sofa. That was until I stumbled accross this creative genius. Tomasz Donocik likes Chesterfields. As it so happens, I like them too.

Inspired by architecture and interiors, Donocik's 'chesterfield hunters' cuffs are made from hand-sewn leather, gold and precious stones. Luxury with a history, the 'hunters are statement jewellery at its best. Siting them as his trademark piece, Donocik is certainly not a one hit wonder. Check out his brilliant blend of gothic and aristocratic themes at his website.

The Snow Queen

It’s a winter wonderland outside and all I can think about is how magical it would be to lord it up Narnia style in a sleigh of ice and a coat of metallic arms that mere mortals could only marvel at. Fantasist, moi?!

My Snow Queen 2009 guise would include these fabulous wax wing cuffs. Fascinatingly beautiful but with a tinge of the macabre, they are the perfect wrist wear for her highness.

Octovision: Sweet and Creepy

"Sweet and creepy at the same time" is how one silversmith described their octopus pendant necklace. And I can see why.

For me, 'octopus' can mean cuddly, cartooned eyed, and cute, or blood sucking, strangling, and slimy. Either way, it's not exactly what I'd imagine I'd want wrapping itself around my neck, curling round my finger, or pinned to my lapel. However, I must admit, a quick browse of the wave of octopus jewelry and I'm ready to do just that. Snap him up while you can and flaunt your inner sea goddess with one of these beauties...

Reform Jewelry's beautifully abstract gold necklace is simple yet stunning.


Perhaps the most original of all, OctopusMe's sterling silver creations include these interesting earrings.


Stephen Douglas' white gold, diamond and pearl ring makes for a glamorous octopus.


If you're a tatty devine fan, you're bound to love Alex and Chloe's natty silhouette pendants.


Celebrity fans Mischa Barton and SJP should snap up this cute Kenneth Jay Lane turquoise and crystal ring.


Another OctopusMe creation, these suction cup stacking rings might not sound so pretty but they sure are nice to look at.


This Autore beauty will glam up anywhere you wish to pin it.


For those of you who like your necklaces loaded with vintage charm, then look no further than MadArtJewelry's 'deconstructed' charm necklace.


Got some money burning a hole in that fur coat of yours? Why not drop a grand or two on this showstopping Reef Jewelry platinum ring with a twist.


Happy shopping! x

Foxy Lady

It seems only fair the fashion industry end its fixation with Owls and move onto a more grown up, dangerous, handsome icon: Foxy! That's right, foxes have been seen all over the catwalk with Jean Paul Gaultier taking the trend quite literally, sending his models down the runway with russet hair, feline kohl-rimmed eyes and, eh, fox skins on their heads.




Jean Paul Gaultier's Foxy

A more subtle (and safe) approach may be to interpret the look as many did with Foxy's predecessor Owl: invest in some fox jewellery.

A good start would be new kids on the block Zoe and Morgan's cute and very wearable collection cheekily titled 'Hey Foxy' which features an adorable gold fox ring for the bargainly sum of 60 pounds www.zoeandmorgan.com

I am adoring cuff links at the moment and what better way to show off slight wrists than with some foxy friends at your side? My favourite can be found at www.phoenixdesignjewellery.com

If crafty's more your bag then you may be delighted as I was to discover this natty necklace which is sure to have you stand out from the crowd www.chocosho.com

Another whimsical design which would look as great on an 80s taffeta prom dress as it would on a cosy tweed coat is this charming brooch from viennahorses online shop at www.etsy.com - never before have I been so drawn as to wear an animal's insides on my lapel.

If you've been pleased to hear about the return of the sovereign ring to fashion's forefront then no doubt you'll enjoy this knuckleduster from www.sculpturetowear.com

So wave goodbye to Owl and indulge your inner Foxy lady. Foxy.
