DIOR 30MONTAIGNE B3U, $940 SHOP NOW
“After undergoing laser eye surgery, eyewear has found a new relevance in my accessory arsenal. To christen my new outlook, I’m coveting the 30MONTAIGNE sunglasses from Dior—a gilded, oversized and radically playful silhouette. The hexagonal lens features a saturated blue tinge to evoke a sense of Y2K nostalgia—a theme only compounded by the style’s nickname, “Blue Butterfly”. The arms boast the ‘CD’ insignia and a structural finish for a playful touch on the French luxuriate’s house codes. These might feel more at home in the early naughts Rodeo Drive than on the Champs-Élysées, but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” –Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion feature writer

Cire Trudon Reggio Intermezzo Candle, 800g, $449 SHOP NOW
“Upon a recent visit to Libertine in Paddington in Sydney—and after smelling in excess of 20 new scents on the market—I came back to Trudon as my favourite. This one has a top note of grapefruit but it’s its heart note of mandarin that really sings and fills a room. The soft, citrusy scent will transport you and your surroundings to the Mediterranean year-round. A perfectly eloquent gift for an engagement party.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director.
JACQUEMUS Blue ‘Les slingbacks Duelo plates’ Ballerina Flats, $1160 SHOP NOW
“In my perennial quest for stylish footwear, I stumbled across these surprisingly delightful blue slingback flats from Jacquemus. The name itself might sound like an oxymoron, but the silhouette actually combines the tried-and-tested elements of any Parisienne’s wardrobe; sturdy denim and a ballet-style slipper. The pointed-toe shape adds an air of elevation and put-togetherness that all women aspire to achieve, while the sculptural sphere and cube appliquéd motifs place a whimsy ease on a more traditional style. Though I’ll be far from the French capital when wearing them, they’ll assuredly find their footing on home soil.” –Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion feature writer
CHANEL PREMIÈRE ÉDITION ORIGINALE WATCH, $10,400 SHOP NOW
“Such is the way of life that, as you grow up, your interests evolve in ways you never thought possible. Past “Investment purchases” have always looked more like of-the-moment shoes and statement pieces that rarely see the light of day, but now, all I find myself wanting is a really great watch that’ll last a lifetime. Finding one that doesn’t make me yawn was a struggle until I spotted this striking CHANEL timepiece. Boasting a sleek silhouette and iconic chain bracelet with an 18K gold coating, it’s as stylish and unique as it is refined and exquisitely crafted.” Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor

With the weather still catching up with my excitement, though, this Coach Tabby 12 in a plush shearling finish can hold me over. A part of the Lil Nas X drop, its versatile design features two detachable straps to carry or wear as a crossbody, and it’s even fitted with a dual gusset interior to make organising your things super easy—and making your keys easy to spot! The compact size makes it perfect for a night out, and even if I’m just wearing a simple LBD, the vibrant blue and intriguing texture bring some fun to the look, and something about it brings out my inner child.” Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
