From delivering her first CPD lecture on Colour Analysis in Practice to discussing how Occhiali has built an experience unlike any other, Erin reflects on an inspiring weekend at Independents Day and why embracing what makes you different is the key to standing out from the crowd.

On the evening of Saturday 27th June, we welcomed guests to Occhiali for our very first Power of Colour event. Bringing together personal colour analysis, interior design, wine tasting and plenty of conversation, it was an inspiring evening celebrating the impact colour has on how we look, feel and live. Take a look behind the scenes and see what made the night so special.

The Devil Wears Prada is back… and red is stealing the show.

From the iconic glossy stiletto with its devilish pitchfork heel to the striking red looks seen across the press tour and premiere, this bold, confident colour has firmly reclaimed the spotlight - with Meryl Streep even stepping out in statement red sunglasses.

So, to celebrate the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, we’re sharing our top five eyewear picks in this passionate, head-turning shade.

Pantone has revealed Cloud Dancer as the Colour of the Year for 2026 - a soft, uplifting white that symbolises calm and new beginnings. We explore the inspiration behind the shade and share three of our favourite eyewear pieces that embody its fresh, modern spirit.

Have you ever noticed how slipping on a pair of glasses in a colour you love can instantly brighten your day? Colour isn’t just about what we see in the mirror - it’s about how we feel too. And when it comes to eyewear, colour has the power to transform both your look and your mood in the most beautiful way.

(Although your prescription is important too!) Let’s be honest, your glasses are the most noticeable accessory you wear. They sit front and centre on your face, and they’re often the very first thing people see when they look at you. So why settle for frames that are just functional, when they can be fabulous too?

For anyone with even a passing interest in fashion, the phrase “the first Monday in May” carries serious weight. It’s not just a date - it’s the industry’s most anticipated night of the year. The Met Gala, held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is where art, culture, and couture collide in dazzling fashion. Each year, celebrities, designers, and creatives gather to interpret a new theme through visionary styling, theatrical gowns, and bold statements.
