A Dream Closet

CIMG2733

Today I would like to show you the ultimate dream closet. Before moving to Switzerland, I lived for 2 years in the States. This was when I met my lovely friend Yoanna, the owner of this amazing house in the Chicago area. The former Miss Poland with an incredible taste built the mansion with her husband around 6 years ago. Her dressing room is not only enormous, but it also includes a wet bar, a sitting area and has the same wall colour like Ladurée in Paris. It is the perfect place to store all her designer pieces.

I guess you are wondering now how the rest of her home looks like. So I won`t withhold that from you. Please have a little tour and start dreaming. Probably you will find some inspirations for your own house. I am totally in love with her boudoir-style very feminine bathroom. Good luck convincing your husbands!

LoL, Sandra

News from Hublot

Depeche Mode & Hublot

Me with Depeche Mode`s lead singer Dave Gahan

Swiss watchmaker Hublot and one of my favourite bands, Depeche Mode, had teamed up to create 12 exclusive Big Bang timepieces featuring the group`s album artwork. Each watch came in a box comprising some additional Depeche Mode gadgets and was auctioned off.
Last weekend Hublot and Depeche Mode presented the proceeds of this incredible joint project: a cheque for over $620.000 to the Teenager Cancer Trust. Dave Gahan, the band`s lead singer, had committed himself with great enthusiasm to the event after having recovered from his own cancer surgery last May.

Hublot Pink

If you are sad that you missed those charity watches, have a look at one of the newest signature Hublot models: the Big Bang Rose Steel Tutti Frutti. Not for a good cause, but the 48 baguette-cut pink sapphires are definitely worth the attention. The exquisite rose-coloured dream is accentuated by a matching alligator bracelet and would be the perfect eyecatcher for your wrist this summer. I am not always the biggest Hublot fan but this version gets my vote.

A Must for every Girl’s Bathroom

Audrey_Shoe_Bathtub_bySicis

If you love – like me – shoes and relaxing in a bath, here is the ideal combination: The Audrey Shoe Mosaic Bathtubs by SICIS. Those bathtubs are gorgeous in a fantasy kind of way. The beautiful precious glass mosaic decorations vary from model to model and can even be custom-made to your taste. The well-constructed shape allows the perfect soak. What I totally adore is that the water can be trickling from above to massage your shoulders. Being a big fan of the Italian manufacturer anyway, I am totally drooling over this.

Women in high heels are sexy but even sexier if they take a bath in them and on top of that, those heels won`t hurt our feet.

Christian Louboutin`s Dolly Forever Barbie®

Safari Barbie

Here she comes: The new Barbie® by Christian Louboutin called Dolly Forever. This time she is wearing a khaki mini dress (showing the safari trend for summer), sunglasses, gold extras and the absolutely gorgeous Forever Tina fringed boots. Naturally our little fashionista is accompanied by 3 extra pairs of red-soled mini Louboutins, each with their own shoe box and bag. She seems to enjoy her adventure in Paris a lot.

If you are interested, you can order the cute redhead online. The last of the three limited editions is to be launched in May to the Cannes Film Festival. I will keep you posted!
