1. Well rounded It's hard to find sunglasses that a) don't distort your face and b) aren't a drab pair of wayfarers. But now there could be an answer to all that is lacking in eyewear, in the shape of Linda Farrow's quirky collaborations with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's The Row and Middle Eastern designer duo Khaleda Rajab and Fahad Al Marzouq. We love the Khaleda Rajab + Fahad Al Marzouq Cat Eye Mask sunglasses (bottom; HK$2,400), with their cute pointy "ears", while the Row's round glasses (top; HK$3,650) bring John Lennon's signature look into the 21st century and are available in a range of classic tints and colours. The sunglasses are available at On Pedder, 18 Queen's Road Central, tel: 2118 3489.

2. In the grip of the drape Let's face it, looking your best is nigh on impossible in the suffocating heat and stifling humidity of an SAR summer. But now, thanks to Marie France Van Damme, who in 2011 burst onto Hong Kong's beachwear scene, you can take to the outdoors and still look radiant. The French designer uses bold prints and an exotic palette on form-flattering swimwear, tunics and dresses that would all beautifully offset a tan. We love the embellished long silk chiffon kurta in a monochrome print (left; HK$5,390), as well as the embellished printed silk satin Verushka kaftan in muted orange and black (right; HK$5,580). Marie France Van Damme is in IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2882 9088.

3. Pink ladies Princess of pouts Victoria Beckham is embracing summer with a new collection of bags that will appeal to anyone who has a penchant for pink. Four styles from Beckham's pre-autumn accessories collection have been reproduced in an ever-so-soft shade, for which the super sleek designer has clearly tapped her most girly side. We love the Quincy (right; HK$13,300), an oversized shopper that will add class to the most boho of outfits, and the laser-cut clutch with white geometric details (left; HK$6,200), which would be great for anything from a junk trip to a night out in Lan Kwai Fong. Victoria Beckham is available at On Pedder.
