19th May 2014 This season’s subtle blocked pastel shades are a highlight of the accessory collections and mesh beautifully with the clothes we’d all like to be wearing. Alongside the much featured teal and turquoise, find an array of soft nudes and pale pinks. Perfect this look with pretty, pale sunglasses, and their 50s, 60s or 70s retro flourishes – whatever shape suits you best. Face à Face Idols 2, with its gentle 50s cat eye design, combines see-through crystal acetate with a smooth “icing-like topping”, defining the brow, in creamy latte. www.faceaface-paris.com
Greek designer Bela Louloudaki launched her Jewellery for the Curious C0llection during Milan Design Week and showcased glorious treats of colour with specialised geometric patterns – created using ceramic tubes, and coated with on-trend pastel-toned layers or gold-dipped elements. Each piece is made by hand, and each one is slightly different and therefore unique. www.belalouloudaki.com
You could also choose a style classic for your sunglass statement this summer – such as this aviator, transformed with an unexpected wash of soft colour. Oliver Goldsmith model Glyn is a sunglass design dating back to 1971. Named after the gentleman in the OG workshop who had worked for OG for over 30 years, and retired at 75, Glyn actually designed this frame for himself before he left the studio for a cruise around the world with his wife! www.olivergoldsmith.com CN
