My Look: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Chili Girl

As promised, here is the detailed post of my outfit that I wore to the Trophée Chopard last week. I am completely in love with Dolce & Gabbana’s vegetable-inspired collection for S/S 2012. And reminiscent of the late ’90s, showing your tummy is back this summer.

My look: Chili pepper-print cotton bustier,matching high waisted full skirtred chili and garlic earringsquilted cotton and raffia top handle bag, raffia-trimmed PVC waist belt, all by Dolce & Gabbana and Tribute sandals by Yves Saint Laurent.

I hope that you like it. Stay tuned for an upcoming post where delicious eggplants are served for a stylish look. Bon appétit!

Chopard Cannes Do

Red Carpet Collection

The collaboration between Chopard and the Cannes Film Festival turns 15 this year, and once again, the Swiss jewelry and watch brand is set to prove that its precious creations sparkle as brightly as the movie stars who wear them. Reflecting the number of editions of the famous movie festival, this year’s Chopard Red Carpet collection comprises 65 creations by Caroline Scheufele, Co-President and Artistic Director of Chopard.

For this oustanding one-of-a-kind collection, she has chosen to work with stones such as rubies, emeralds, padparadscha sapphires, tanzanite, and kunzite –without forgetting diamonds, which Caroline Scheufele proclaims as “my favourite stone and an indispensable ally for women on the red carpet”.

Chopard Apple

As for me, one of the most standout pieces is the apple ring that is adorned by 800 tsavorites and more than 200 brown diamonds totalling 57.2 carats. So delectable with a deliciously tangy radiance, Chopard is taking the Big Apple literally, bound to draw all eyes.

Below, you can see the making of, from the sketch to the final product.
