Sandra‘s Closet

Yesterday, after having arrived in New York City, I went straight to the IFB conference and later on to the 3rd annual Fashion 2.0 Awards that took place at the SVA Theatre. It was an amazing night where I ran into many familiar faces.

The Fashion 2.0 Awards, launched in 2010 by Style Coalition, are designed to recognize and honor the most innovative fashion brands in the online community. (The Europeans can learn a lot here!)

This morning when I woke up in New York City after a good night’s sleep (I had been awake for 24hours!), I looked outside and the view from my hotel window was breathtaking. It was 6am and the sun was rising. The light was reflected in the skyscrapers’s facades and the colours inspired me to today’s outfit post.

Embellished-collar printed crepe dress by Miu Miu, leather-trimmed cotton-gabardine trench coat by Burberry Prorsum, orange envelope clutch by Tory Burch, handmade acetate D-frame sunglasses by Finest Seven, Tribtoo suede pumps and enameled gold-plated cuff, both by Yves Saint Laurent.

LoL, Sandra

Have a look at the new Holland Collection by OPI: Inspired by the country’s range of beautiful shades – as seen in vivid tulips, windmill-dotted hillsides and bustling canals – the collection’s twelve colours offer a mixture of sophisticated neutrals and highly-pigmented brights.

My favourite colour is the shimmery “I don’t give a Rotterdam” (Photo: ©Sandra Bauknecht).

The new collection will be available in Switzerland starting February 15, 2012 for CHF 23.90 each.

LoL, Sandra
