Cécile's Accessories consist of a teal hat trimmed with a bow; a necklace with a pearly pendant; and white gloves. They retail for $24.
The hat: it is marvelous! Probably my favorite AG-branded hat to date. It's made of a soft synthetic felt roughly the same color as her meet dress.

The crown of the hat is nicely rounded and treated with a hat-stiffener to preserve its shape.

It's trimmed with a ruched black velvet hatband, a large ribbon rose that matches the cluster of roses on the front of her dress, and a large satin-finish bow at the back.

The bow looks brighter red in this image than it does in real life. (Satin-finish ribbon is tough to photograph!)
The hat fits extremely nicely, perched towards the back of her head. Although it does flatten down her curls a bit they fluffed up nicely with my fingers.
Cécile's pearl pendant is lovely! It's got sort of an antique finish, and a nice weight to it. The chain falls to mid-chest. Clasp was a bit tight but should loosen up over time.

The gloves are a nice touch. They're made of a white knit, probably polyester with a little spandex for good measure. There's top-stitching on the outside to indicate where the fingers would be but that's purely decorative:

This set gets an A+ from me if for no other reason than you have to have Cécile's hat!
