Last night, my secret project with Montblanc has finally been revealed during a wonderful evening celebration at the Montblanc Boutique in Zurich, Switzerland.

I am so excited and honoured to tell you that I have got my own bespoke ink with the lovely name: SANDRA BERRY and amazingly enough, it is the first personalized ink Montblanc has ever created looking back to a corporate history of 100 years.

Christian Rauch, Managing Director Writing Culture and Leather Goods Montblanc International, who had flown in especially for the event, revealed with me the Montblanc Bespoke Ink Edition SANDRA BERRY.

The Montblanc team and me had spent many inspiring hours working on this unbelievable project. I will post the behind the scenes pics that shows the whole creative process during the next weeks. Of course, I knew that it had to be a pinkish berry hue. After I visited the Montblanc’s headquarters in October where I experienced the World of Montblanc, my bespoke ink was finally created in accordance to my specifications and wishes.

For the launch event, the Montblanc boutique was beautifully decorated with many vibrant details reminiscent of the ink’s colour. Guests arrived on the pink carpet matching the berry shade perfectly and enjoyed rosé champagne by Perrier-Jouët.

A big surprise for me was the birthday cake in the shape of an inkwell, the Montblanc team surprised me with, to celebrate the third anniversary of Sandra’s Closet.

The party went on until late at Zurich’s Icon Club. Enjoy the photos of last night.

My Look: Escape from Everyday Life

My_Look_60sVibe

Here is the fifth and final look that I wore for the shoot with Swiss News magazine:

Belted wool-crepe tunic, wool-crepe straight-leg pants, both by Miu Miu, bi-colour glittering ankle boots by Chanel, Muse Two bag by Yves Saint Laurent and hat by Louis Vuitton.

This look makes me always feel like escaping from everyday life. I love the ’60s vibe and the vibrant turquoise hue. It is comfortable and stylish in one!

LoL, Sandra

Day 14: A Winter Tale by Cartier

Day14_Cartier_Winter_Talle

This Christmas, Cartier takes us on a Winter Tale. Two panther cubs play hide and seek in a snow-laden forest of fir trees. These mischievous cubs lead us on an enchanting adventure. Follow their journey (see video at the end of this post), filled with discoveries and precious gifts… wouldn’t it be lovely to have one of those beautiful jewelry pieces under the Christmas tree?!

Work on your seductive, feline side and nobody could reject your wish list… I mean, who on earth could resist those eyes?

LoL, Sandra
