Sandra‘s Closet

The Bavarian fragrance house LENGLING MUNICH, launched by Ursula and Christian Lengling in 2014, presents a new perfume with the catching name WHAT ABOUT ME. After the opening of their first flagship store in the heart of Munich at Frauenplatz 10 this year, the founding couple is once again focusing on the creation of a unisex luxurious perfume full of exciting contrasts. Inspiration for the intense and sensual unisex scent is neither the past nor the future, but what really counts: your own life now, the preciousness of the moment and the awareness of transience.

«We defy all odds and celebrate vibrancy with powerfully fruity ume notes and a fresh gin accord. At the same time, we surrender to our hidden longings with subtle melancholy… A very intimate perfume – self-confident and mysterious.»
Ursula Lengling, Creative Director.

LENG-Note: Joy of Life – Ume, Juniper, Pepper, Bergamot, Tangerine
LING-Note: Desires – Sandalwood, Iso E Super, Geranium, Patchouli, Musk

WHAT ABOUT ME is available as perfume in the end of November 2022 for CHF 245.00 for 50ml in selected stores, such as Perfumery Osswald in Zurich.

This was the outfit that I wore to the MAC Bubbles and Bows Party at Kraftwerk in Zurich. The Valentino Pink PP collection is one of my favorites off all time and it was the perfect match for the theme of the night. Time to glam up!

My look: Silk-moiré mini shirt dress, silk-moiré shorts, bow-detailed wool and silk-blend crepe bralette, wool-blend cape, One Stud mini leather shoulder bag, stretch-knit tights, VLogo signature earrings, and Discobox 180mm platform pumps, all by Valentino.

As Fusalp marks its 70th anniversary, the French specialists in skiwear wished to celebrate by teaming up with Pucci for a collaboration of ski and leisure styles. This capsule conveys the enthusiasm and joy of two brands joined by a historic connection to skiing and the mountains.

Camille Miceli of Pucci and Mathilde Lacoste of Fusalp have reimagined a collection that includes three emblematic ensembles and Fusalp best-sellers – the Gardena jacket, the Elancia and Belalp ski pants and the Maria ski suit – with Pucci all-over prints.

«For the 70th anniversary of Fusalp, I wanted to convey the enthusiasm and joy embedded in our brand through its history. Only Emilio Pucci could bring these vibrant colours and iconic prints that convey such incomparable energy,» says Mathilde Lacoste.

«We were delighted to pay tribute to Fusalp through this collection of colourful ski creations. Our similar heritage, newly expressed through technical expertise and fashion genuinely celebrates the spirit of collaboration – and of our theme this season, La Famiglia,» says Camille Miceli.

Certain styles feature Marmo motifs in palettes such as multicoloured with black and shades of icy blue. The ski suit, swirled with the violet Iride pattern, transposes the Pucci vision into a high-performance piece. Fusalp takes a fully technical approach – from outer materials and thermal pieces that offer waterproof, warmth and extreme cold protection to shapes, which sculpt and highlight the body in motion. Exceptional materials include waterproof and protective Swiss softshell, technical nylons and feathers, in addition to thermals developed with «body mapping» which give the effect of a contoured figure.

The core skiwear offer comprises 8 pieces styled as 3 main looks, each characterised by 3 different colour ranges and print variations. The après-ski proposal includes 6 heavy knitwear items and 2 padded ponchos. Among the range of accessories accented with nylon Pucci trim are a cap, scarf, snood, ear warmers, and a polycarbonate helmet.

This collaboration reimagines the ‘70s glamorous, free and joyful spirit of Pucci’s signature prints with Fusalp’s technical elegance – the best of both worlds conceived for the slopes and beyond. The collaboration is available now, both online and in a selection of Pucci and Fusalp boutiques, as well as on Mytheresa.com.

The Dolder Grand makes Christmas extra magical with a very fun Advent Calendar created by Finnish artist Jani Leinonen , who had already designed the impressive floral Easter Egg past Spring. Highlighting the center of the Canvas Bar & Lounge, this pop art work will make every art lover’s heart beat faster with its secret messages hidden behind the 24 doors. I attended the cocktail reception in presence of the artist in this vibrant Valentino Pink PP outfit.

My look: Embroidered cardigan (Look 46 Pre-collection S/S 2021) by CHANEL, bow-detailed wool and silk-blend crepe bralette, wool and silk-blend crepe skirt, One Stud 100 embellished patent-leather pumps, pink VLogo signature gloves, VLogo signature earrings, and One Stud mini leather shoulder bag, all by Valentino, and feather, crystal and bead earrings by Oscar de la Renta.

Tiffany & Co. has opened its first Miami holiday pop up coinciding with this year’s Art Basel. Steps away from Tiffany & Co.’s permanent Miami Design District store, the House expands on its presence and influence in South Florida with its first café and dedicated holiday pop-up store in Miami. Inspired by Tiffany’s holiday campaign featuring archival designs from the legendary artist, Andy Warhol, who worked with the brand from 1956-1962, the pop up celebrates Warhol with its bright neon accents, intentional paint spills and acrylic framed art.

A quote from Warhol is prominently displayed above the brand’s coveted high jewelry stating: «More than anything people just want stars.»

The Tiffany Co. x Andy Warhol holiday campaign film is starring Hailey Bieber and is a tribute to the artist’s legendary Factory and love for the holidays.

The façade also creates a striking backdrop for the limited-run holiday pop-up store that features a curated assortment of House’s most coveted gold and radiant diamond jewelry from collections like Tiffany T, HardWear, Elsa Peretti, Jean Schlumberger and the jeweler’s newest icon: Tiffany Lock. As the House’s latest collection— created for all genders—Tiffany Lock is a bold visual statement about our personal bonds with others and how these bonds inform who we are.

The colorful Tiffany & Co. Café is offering a selective menu of light meals, coffee, tea and desserts; a perfect place to relax and enjoy Miami Design District’s latest jewel. No reservations required; walk-ins are welcome.

The Tiffany & Co. holiday pop up and café in the Miami Design District, located at 160 Northeast 40th Street, will remain open from now through January 31, 2023.
Open Monday through Sunday, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
Phone Number: +1.305.428.1390

Jimmy Choo x Timberland have joined forces again for a collaboration that sees Timberland’s iconic Original Yellow Boot re-imagined through the luxurious lens of Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi, alongside Harlem’s Fashion Row and designer Shanel Campbell. The result? A reinvented classic.

The fusion of outdoor heritage with Jimmy Choo’s signature glamour and «the gritty energy of New York» is inspired by the ’90s hip-hop scene. The most desirable piece of the collection? A limited edition design that is fully embellished in Swarovski crystals and set on a slim 115mm heel with a pointed toe. I LOVE!

13 years – as crazy as it sounds but I have been blogging now for 156 months, which is around 4745 days, and this is my 5289th post which means I wrote one article every day. I am thankful, Sandra’s Closet has taken me on the craziest, busiest but most beautiful ride in my life.

The last 365 days have been a total whirlwind. I almost forgot my blog anniversary with everything that is going on at the moment. Building my new home, traveling like crazy, attending so many amazing events, spending time with my family and friends while constantly blogging can be exhausting from time to time.

Cheers to 13 years!

I want to take this opportunity to send my gratitude to all of you, who are reading my posts every day. Knowing that there are people who are genuinely interested in my ideas and my style makes me very happy. It creates a space for conversation – fashion is not a monologue, it is a message you send into the world, it is the way you will be perceived in the first seconds. Thanks to you, I don’t stop – my brain is constantly on the hunt for something to inspire you.

To many more years to come!

LoL, Sandra

Here is another great designer collaboration you shouldn’t miss: Sergio Rossi x Wolford. The capsule collection, created under the artistic direction of Evengelie Smirniotaki, best combines the key values of the iconic Italian women’s footwear brand, and the market leader in luxury high-quality skinwear and hosiery. The tie-up is marked by a dedicated campaign inspired by Helmut Newton, who worked with both companies throughout his career.

The line includes provocative, suspender-like tights; socks with crystal embellishments and emblazoned with both logos, and formfitting tights in boldly colored Lycra or covered in rhinestones.
