House of Bershka



Normally celebrity accessory lines verge on the tacky side but one brand I have lusted after since its conception is Nicole Richie's House of Harlow. The part LA bohemia, part aztec feel of Nicole's pieces manage to transcend the cheap celebrity association. I like to think the girl herself is heavily involved in the line (she does have great personal style after all) but even if she doesn't actually take pen to paper in the design studio, Nicole makes a sensational model for her collection, piling on the pieces to ensure money can't buy press coverage. Whilst the pieces aren't horrifically expensive (rings start at about £60) they do break my high street budget so that's why I was over the moon to spot this little beauty in Amsterdam this weekend.



It was actually in Bershka, the Spanish younger sister to Zara, not somewhere I have ventured into much before but def somewhere I'll head again. I think its a great copy of HofH's signature sunburst cocktail ring, a favourite of Nicoles and at only 5 Euros a tenth of the price. It's a tad smaller than the HofH piece but I think this makes it more daywear friendly. Head to Bershka's Oxford Street branch to find yours.
