A touch of turquoise
6th July 2012 I have been wondering about summer colour and the accessories I would choose for a hot Mediterranean vacation and this turquoise leapt out…fashion is inviting us to do bold colour blocking and I can’t think of a colour other than pink that I would rather be wearing. Face à Face, the exclusive Parisian spectacles label has two models that use this colour to great effect – pictured, the Sabba 1, a sweet feminine design with Parisian elegance, and the Sabba 3, a squarish vintage eye shape that catches the quirkiness of the season. Both offer top-class UV protection with their chic sun lenses in contrasting soft brown tones. www.faceaface-paris.com
Pair this with a Smythson tote – this is the elegant Jackie – in clear-cut colour such as this fresh turquoise with navy, and you’ll start to feel the sunny mood of the season’s fashions. Smythson is known for its luxury stationary collections but more recently, it has been their exquisite leather goods that have attracted great excitement, with their combination of easy practicality, luxury finish and fresh colour. The Smythson iPad cases also comes highly recommended. Shop the full Smythson collection at www.smythson.com CN
