My_look_Dolce_Gabbana_SS2013_dress

Last week, MCM‘s first flagship store in Europe has opened its doors in Zurich. As you know, I was the host for the Blogger Makeover 2013 photo shoot to celebrate that special occasion and truly enjoyed the party in the evening.

My look: Printed crepe dressicon and Ruota Carretto gold-plated tasseled clip earrings, both by Dolce & Gabbana, pointed leather Mary-Jane pumps by Saint Laurent, cuff by Stella McCartneyicon and Veronika Isis studded shoulder bag from MCM‘s upcoming F/W 2014 collection.

Stay tuned for all my photos of the night coming up soon!

LoL, Sandra
