If you want big and chic, and you just happens to be in Rome, then you must run to Myriam Bottazzi's adorable little boutique, in the San Lorenzo Quarter, that's where Nunzia Garoffolo took me this afternoon, and what a treat ! Myriam, who is a stylist born in Milano, has a very surreal and original approach to accessories and bijoux. It is fascinating. The craftsmanship is simply impeccable and she does it all by herself; from clothes to giant bags, from gloves to oversized rings and earrings, she uses all kind of materials...oh my, I wanted them all. Some of the pieces have a gothic appeal, but they are somehow very modern, and that's where her genius is. I don't ever recall seeing an agatha stone being so chic. Check out the link:
