Sandra‘s Closet

Judith Leiber Couture’s intricately detailed clutches have been carried by so many influential women – from actresses and philanthropists to heads of state – since the label was founded in 1963. The miniature bags are impeccably crafted to look like beautiful works of art. I am completely obsessed with them, such collector pieces. Today’s edit includes my favorites of the season to suit every personality. Wouldn’t one of them make such a lovely Valentine’s Day surprise?!

LoL, Sandra

What I truly love about staying at the Gstaad Palace Hotel during lockdown is that I can use the gym every day. Here you see me working out in my new Burberry sportswear which is functional and stylish in one. By the way, I shot all the photos again by myself with my iPhone and the timer function. Don’t you think that I am getting better from day to day… ?!

My look: Printed merino wool-blend cardigan, paneled printed stretch sports bra, and paneled printed stretch leggings, all by Burberry, 123 Run spiked leopard-print neoprene, leather, satin and grosgrain sneakers by Christian Louboutin, and Royal Oak 37mm 18-karat frosted rose gold watch by Audemars Piguet.

Quick stop in Zurich to check on the construction of our new house. As you can see, there is still so much to do. It is a fun project and I am enjoying the whole process. It is similar to my Mondrian-inspired clutch, it’s like a puzzle that comes together piece by piece. My Dior jumpsuit is also such a great and versatile item that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion.

My look: Black mink vest, black jumpsuit, D-cameo choker, and Arty cap with veil, all by Dior, Mondrian embroidered appliquéd canvas clutch by Olympia Le-Tan, and Circus Nana 100 lace-up leopard-print calf hair platform ankle boots by Christian Louboutin.

The power of an eye-cream in a longwear concealer. This sounds like a dream coming true. Formulated as skincare, By Terry‘s Hyaluronic Hydra-Concealer is your new secret weapon to both blur imperfections and take care of the sensitive eye area. Starring hyaluronic acid, this vegan skincare concealer fully hydrates, blurs imperfections, brightens dark circles and smooths fine lines, erasing signs of fatigue. With a light, silky texture that sets to a lumi-matte finish. Available in 6 auto-adaptable shades.

How does it work? Hyaluronic acid locks moisture into skin, smoothing and plumping out fine lines while boosting elasticity. Smartly combined with Horse Chestnut seed extract that stimulates the micro-circulation, dark circles are instantly brightened, micro-vessels are less visible, skin looks even. Hydrophobic coated pigments ensure a long-lasting lumi-matte finish while the mineral coated powders complex provides a soft focus, mattifying effect for a silky second skin feeling.

How to apply it? Click to release the right amount of formula and gently dab onto dark circles, blemishes and imperfections, fine lines and wrinkles. Using your ring finger, tap lightly to gently blend. Apply a second coat if necessary. The formula is absolutely buildable and non-cakey.

Available now for CHF 47.90.

The aptly named Coussin is the latest addition to Louis Vuitton’s S/S 2021 collection, a bag born of Artistic Director of Women’s collections Nicolas Ghesquière’s reflections on the stylistic space between the feminine and the masculine – a sensitive zone that erases gender.

What could be called neutrality or gender fluidity evokes a whole arena of expression, creating its own character. The Coussin alternates between several feelings and attitudes. A comfortable and supple bag in the softest of lambskins, the Coussin has the familiar feel of a good friend with its multiple quilted compartments protecting one’s most precious belongings. Its ambiguity lies in its incisive colours, ranging from metallic tones to radical shades, along with its removable chain with its strong, geometric design.

The Coussin effortlessly combines elegance and personality, whether worn crossbody, over the shoulder or in the crook of one’s arm, taking stylistic freedom to new heights.

Personally speaking, I truly like it, especially in green and silver. It is impressive how Bottega Veneta’s chain designs for bags have inspired so many other collections…

Thank you everyone for all of the birthday wishes. Knowing that I have friends who appreciate and love me, it’s the best feeling. I truly got spoiled last weekend and everyone in my inner circle knows how much I love having birthday. So many beautiful surprises and gifts have become a keepsake that will forever remind me of happy times.

I am very proud of myself once more. I took all of those photos by myself and hope that you will enjoy my outfit. The dress was a present from a dear friend who obviously knows me very well.

My look: Velvet-trimmed checked wool-blend midi dress by Alessandra Rich, Vero Dodat leather and PVC clutch, and Kate 100 suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, and pearl and tulle necklace by Lanvin.

High performances, unique style. I am so in love with Fendi‘s amazing ski collection that takes your winter outfits to new heights. Perfect for making a statement on the slopes, those pieces also work great for an après ski party (which will happen hopefully soon again …). The jacket is reversible which means you have two different looks in one.

My look: Reversible hooded logo-print down ski jacket, FF-jacquard sweater, high-rise soft-shell skinny-leg ski trousers, printed ski helmet, appliquéd shell and leather ski gloves, and T-Rex shearling-lined logo-print coated canvas and leather ankle boots, all by Fendi.
