Dior silk organza dress

The perfect pair

Match your sunglasses to your jewelry? When both are Boucheron, there’s no reason not to. The spring sunglasses collection comprises three styles inspired by the Quatre jewelry collection. True to its name, the Quatre ring has four types of gold (yellow, white, pink and brown) and four different Boucheron motifs (Double Gadroon, Diamonds, Clou de Paris and Grosgrain). The oversized square sunglasses are gold plated and feature the classic Quatre ring motifs on the side and on the end tips, set with sparkling crystals. As sunglasses are so easily misplaced, we think it’s smart to keep the diamonds in the jewelry. boucheron.com

BELLE DE JOUR

Lingerie dressing can be tricky to pull off, but at Céline, Phoebe Philo presented a series of perfectly grown-up lace-trimmed slip dresses. Whether worn under a nipped waist jacket or alone, we recommend following Philo’s styling and wearing a flat boot to toughen up the look. Inspired by Peter Weir’s film Picnic at Hanging Rock , transformed Victorian garments were paraded at Raf Simon’s final show as creative director of Christian Dior’s women’s collections. Here a sheer silk organza dress is worn with exquisite lingerie. celine.com dior.com
