Over one year ago, I told you already about Navyboot’s relaunch and their talented new Creative Director Adrian J. Margelist. For the previous article, please click here.
Today, we can enjoy the outcome. The Swiss company, that is expanding to other European countries now, has presented their F/W 2011 advertising campaign last week shot by Peter Lindbergh and starring Swiss supermodel Julia Saner and Patrick Petitjean. Below you can also find some of their winter must-haves like the Coucous bag and the making of video.
The collection captivates through its beautiful details, like purple stitching, colourful linings and for the gentlemen welt-sewn shoes.
Those boots are made for walking… and for admiration!
Céline built their collection around the white turtleneck as their key piece for F/W 2011. And the French fashion house wasn’t alone. The mostly close-fitting version of the versatile classic was seen on many runways, for both men and women. The very `60s inspired look is clean and crisp, providing you with the perfect minimalistic base to layer on (another trend for F/W 2011) and it will give you the possibilty to wear it for fall with a summer dress that you are not willing to put away yet.
Recently I came across this Hermès apple bag that was a special order for a customer. If you like apples and fashion, you might be happy to walk around with this fancy version instead of sporting a boring brown paper bag. The purse comes also with a handy knife holder so you will truly have no excuses left to forget about your daily vitamin dose.
Yesterday, we had the most beautiful weather in Zurich. The sun was the perfect background for the baptism of one my best friend’s little baby girl. I chose a quite extreme coloured outfit and as I always say, don’t take fashion too serious, have fun and experiment. So my friends came up with some interesting associations like a Stabilo pen or one even knew the matching Mercedes car for me.

I loved the flowers and cake so much that I added some photos to this post.
Butter London is a favorite among nail polish lovers around the globe. The high-quality texture is long-lasting, and first and foremost non-toxic(free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and parabens). But mostly, the brand is standing out because of its huge range of offbeat hues.
Please let me introduce you the beautiful jewel-toned F/W 2011 collection (each $14):
From left to right: Bluey – A slightly metallic dark peacock blue, perfect for fashionable birds. Toff – A darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink. Stop to smell them. The roses, not the toffs. Knees Up – A smashing metallic red perfect for getting smashed in. Wallis – A tarnished, metallic olive gold, as mysterious and regal as its namesake. No More Waity, Katie – A soft, elegant greige shade with a splash of lilac glitter is the perfect marriage to combine fashion and fun.
No More Waity, Katie had been especially created for the Royal Wedding last April and was supposed to be limited edition. Due its huge success, the beautiful hue will stay and be part of the F/W 2011 collection.

Fash Friday, it is time to shop! I am completely taken by this Emilio Pucci dress. The Italian fashion house’s whole F/W 2011 collection is divine, so sexy, feminine and different.

Together with the Christian Louboutin shoes and the studded bag by Etro, you will make a stunning entrance. Mine is on its way…
Not hard to tell, I love everything fashion-related. Fashion magazines, fashion photography have been fascinating me since my childhood and I was always eager to work in that field. Vogue has been my bible since then. Over 25 years ago, I have started collecting US, German, Italian, UK and French Vogue issues. My archive is complete and had even moved with me over the Atlantic ocean and back. Do you know how much paper weighs?!
Therefore I couldn’t be happier about Voguepedia, “the little baby of Wikipedia and Vogue”, that has been launched in May this year. The archive is supposed to cover the magazine’s 119 year history, with hopefully every issue catalogued one day. At the moment, the encyclopedia of all things Vogue is far from being complete but still lots of fun to browse through. Gosh, how I would have loved something like this during my studies…
I think that it is a smart move of Vogue to attract the younger generation that is more online-orientated and far away from a print media nostalgia…

For my German based readers: My monthly fashion column in the SI Stylehas got a new look. Instead of the glittering illustration, there will be each issue another photo and lifestyle tips for restaurants, hotels and more. I am very happy with the new appearance and hope that you will like it, too!
Time flies. Yesterday, I celebrated my tenth civil wedding anniversary (I got married in Munich, Germany). Looking at the old photos, I was laughing out loud and had to share one with you. Gosh, I was so unhappy with my hair. Gerhard Meir, (my German readers will know him), had in the last minute one of his teasing attacks like he used to have with Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis in the 80s and this is how my hair turned out.
Nevertheless, it was a lovely day that I truly enjoyed every single minute. To put my hubby in a nostalgic mood, I wore the same dress like ten years ago which by coincidence I had bought in Zurich without knowing that I will end up one day here.
The religious wedding took place one week later in Marbella, Spain at the Marbella Club and so we will even have a bigger reason to celebrate next Thursday. Love you, hubby!
LoL, Sandra

When the sun is shining, Zurich feels like being on vacation.
This morning, I left the house in those beautiful Chloé wedges from the S/S 2011 collection and came home in those…
…tulle embellished sandals by H&M. You might ask why did she change shoes?
The reason was that I got the biggest blisters from the Chloé wedges. My feet were honestly in such pain that I draggged myself to the nearest H&M to buy another pair of shoes.
And they are pretty cute, don’t you think?!
