As guest of Louis Vuitton, I was transported on a magical journey with the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to Vienna. This palace on wheels is an outstanding experience that I cannot wait to fully share with you. Lets’ get started with my outfit and the first impressions when my voyage began on the platform of the famed Gare de L’Est in Paris. There the historic carriages awaited my arrival from Palais Royale, before stepping aboard a world of timeless glamour.
My look: Wool coat with blue shearling embellishments (Pre-fall 2011), oversized zip side-tie dress (Runway S/S 2023), black stretch body with zipper (2021), grey felt hat with fur embellishment (Runway F/W 2012), velvet lace-up cancan boots with patent leather ruffle detail (Runway F/W 2009), custom-made Sac Louis (2010), Pochette Métis in Monogram leather, yellow gold and diamond nameplate necklace (2007), and vintage Pégase trolley, all by Louis Vuitton.
Everything reminded me so much of Louis Vuitton’s beautiful F/W 2012 show when Marc Jacobs had a train on the runway and everything was inspired by this vintage ’20s glamour. For the previous post, click here.

It is the butterfly effect! It is the idea that something small, like carrying a stunning bag, such as my new must-have piece by Marina Raphael, can have much larger effects, such as meeting new people, and boosting your aura as you are feeling absolutely fantastic. Depending on the notion that the world is deeply interconnected, such that one small occurrence can influence a much larger complex system, you should never underestimate the power of a great outfit.
My look: White cotton tank top with triangle logo
, grey embroidered cloth and mesh midi-skirt, logo-plaque leather Mary Jane pumps, and vintage crystal earrings, all by Prada, matelassé denim jacket by CHANEL (Pre-collection F/W 2022), and crystal-embellished Micro Riviera Diamond bag in black suede by Marina Raphael.

This was my outfit I wore to the Hot Party in the Snow at Carlton Hotel in St. Moritz. When it comes to eveningwear, I am a huge fan of La-based designer Monique Lhuillier. The daughter of a French diplomat always admired the lavish gowns her mother and other stylish guests would wear to high-profile events, moving her to create her eponymous label. I adore her intricately detailed and expertly crafted designs.
My look: Crystal-embellished tulle gown
by Monique Lhuillier, Devotion mini bag in silver by Dolce & Gabbana, Odette lace pumps in rose by Jimmy Choo, floral-clip earrings, floral-detail chain-link belt, and crystal-embellished choker necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.

I am enough and I can wear whatever I want. This is an affirmation you should be repeating daily. I have been asked all my life how I am so confident when it comes to choosing my outfit. For me it is like an armor protecting me, reflecting my mood and also a tool to manipulate how people receive you. This might sound bad to you, but I mean it in a positive way. Clothes have so much power, so use them wisely. They can also be a great memory of beautiful times. This look here, photographed on a playground in my hometown Frankfurt, is so reminiscent of the ’90s when I was a young girl and would totally dress up like this. It exudes immediate happiness and makes me feel extremely young again in a very good way.
My look: Cropped top in Alpine Check, matching 90’s skirt with 2 panels and metal decoration in Alpine Check, and Kurt high lace-up boot, all by Celine, open-knit camel hair and silk-blend cardigan by Brunello Cucinelli, Cleo crystal-embellished shoulder bag by Prada, and Carter leather beret by Eugenia Kim.

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. Make those last days of winter count. Regardless of where you live, welcoming the spring season is something out of a dream. It is just a little bit closer to the yearly summer solstice that so many of us look forward to. I enjoyed the winter season at my beloved Gstaad Palace, where we took those photos outside the spa.
My look: Glitter jumpsuit (Look 21 F/W 2021), cardigan with neon pink thread (S/S 2020), tweed bag with chain logo (S/S 2020), chain creole earrings (S/S 2021), pearl necklace, sunglasses with chains, black pearl necklace with smiley emoji (F/W 2016), white headband with camellia (S/S 1995), fur boots (F/W 2021), and Limelight Gala watch by Piaget.

The Gstaad Palace is home to one of the most famous nightclubs in the Alps: GreenGo Nightclub. It is definitely the best place to party in Gstaad with its stylish interior design straight from the 1970s. Under the pulsing lights, I loved to dance the night away to the sounds of resident DJ Jim Leblanc and international acts in my beautiful new sparkly jumpsuit by German designer duo Talbot Runhof, that are well known for their beautiful evening wear. The perfect stylish, yet comfy outfit to enjoy the vibrating beats of the night.
As you can see, the club has a new highlight with the fun artwork by @wonderwalls 3780 that decorates the fumoir, featuring many celebrities that stayed at the Palace.
My look: Midnight blue sequined jersey jumpsuit Didi4 by Talbot Runhof, fox fur jacket in blue degrade colors by Dior, silver-tone crystal clip earrings, and embellished-heart tassel necklace, both by Alessandra Rich, black calf leather lace up Janis pumps by Saint Laurent, and Celebrations embroidered canvas book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan.

Fashionistas around the globe crave for the trendy designs by Jonathan Anderson, who got appointed as creative director in 2013. The Spanish House has been undergoing a steady transformation since then. Under Anderson’s creative vision, the famous Anagram logo got remodeled.
The quadruple-L insignia designed in 1970 by Spanish artist Vicente Vela appears now in different ways on ready-to-wear and accessories. The cropped tank tops with the mini logo have been on everyone’s wish list, so don’t miss out!

My crazy burger-inspired outfit that I wore to the Moschino F/W 2023 show was actually from the Maison’s Resort 2022 collection. People couldn’t believe their eyes when I walked around the streets of Milan. I adore fashion with a sense of humor and nobody does this better than Jeremy Scott for Moschino.
My look: Burger-motif jacket with salad and tomato embellishment, burger-motif high-waisted skirt, sequined hamburger crossbody bag, large clip-on burger earrings, and one-of-a-kind burger-motif head piece, all by Moschino, nude silk shirt by Miu Miu, and Iriza 100 patent-leather pumps by Christian Louboutin.

Birthdays at Gstaad Palace are birthdays well spent. My friends and family spoilt me to the fullest and I got surprised with many orange boxes. I have such a thing for zodiac signs and am a proud aquarius girl. Therefore I truly love the Zimmermann F/W 2022 collection dedicated to astrology.
My look: Celestial Zodiac embroidered mini dress, and embellished knee-high boots, both by Zimmermann, Lotus bead-embellished pleated leather tote by Ulla Johnson, earrings and pearl waist belt, both by CHANEL.
