I found myself inspired by the Olympic games and went looking for some summer items in flaring colours.

1 Fairytale dress
The dress is from Lunatica Milano, an Italian skirt and dressmaker. It is made of fantasy prints and different lush fabrics. Seen at CouCou, Gstaadstrasse 8, 3792 Saanen. Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday 13.30-18.00.

2 Yellow, like a canary
This authentic yellow jute bag is from “Luna Sarah Marrakech”. It was designed and handmade in their own factory. Seen at CouCou, Gstaadstrasse 8, 3792 Saanen. Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday 13.30-18.00.

3 Avantguard Sunglasses
This collection is a three-part – bloom, grow, blossom – micro batch range that explores nature, science, and Japanese craftsmanship. The recurring theme is quality eyewear with green materials and minimalist Avant-garde style. Very cool!

It’s not just about looking good; it’s about doing good. For similar, try Optik Gstaad.Untergstaadstrasse 16, Gstaad.

4 Summer jacket
Even if the weather doesn’t behave you will be well prepared in this classic jacket by Le Mont St Michel. I love that it looks the same since 1913. Spice it up with an Iris Apfel resin brooch on the breast pocket. Found at Éphémères by DH on Dorfstrasse 41, Saanen. Opening hours: Tuesday–Friday: 10.30 – 12.30 / 14.00 – 18.30,  Saturday 14.00 – 17.00

5 Fuchsia softness
Most likely, you never want to take off these super soft Italian moccasins, that comes in many colours, with or without a tassel! Seen at La Scarpa 51 on Dorfstrasse 51, Saanen. Opening hours: Tuesday–Friday: 10.30 – 12.15 / 14.00 – 18.30,  Saturday 10.00 – 17.00

6 Disc earrings
Get into the Olympic spirit with a set of Disc Earrings with emeralds set in 18-karat yellow gold from Seaman Schepps. For similar, check the display at Olden Hotel or seamanschepps.com

7 “Room Service”
Hotel stationery is usually for doodles or phone numbers, but Michael McGregor turned it into art. Starting with sketches at The Ritz-Carlton in New York in 2016, his series went viral on Instagram. The collection then became a book published by Paragon Books. For similar try Cadonau Papeterie.

8 Don’t forget the hands
A fantastically rich hand crème revitalises skin and lightly scents with your choice of signature Oribe fragrances: Desertland, Côte d’Azur and Valley of Flowers. A luxurious blend of oils and shea butter hydrates and repairs, making it perfect for everyday use or as an overnight treatment. For similar try Drogerie von Grüningen
