Attention, please! Here comes another Valentino Pink PP look but this time in combination with a great pair of jeans. I love this outfit so much. Hot pink has definitely been the color of 2022, taking inspiration from the ultra-bright world of Barbie and Ken, aptly named the «Barbiecore»trend, which was further amplified by paparazzi photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on the set of Greta Gerwig‘s forthcoming Barbie movie.
My look: Double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend coat, 3D-flower lurex-jacquard wool-blend scarf, tie-neck silk-georgette shirt, VLOGO reversible leather belt
, VLOGO leather-trimmed wool fedora, Roman Stud maxi clutch bag in nappa leather, VLogo signature earrings, and Tan-Go leather ankle boots, all by Valentino, distressed high-rise wide-leg jeans by Peter Do.

When I saw the teddy dress on the F/W 2022 runway, I knew immediately this piece needs a place in my closet. Cozy, comfy, yet stylish and glamorous, it is the perfect choice when it comes to a black tie winter gala, or when you want to attend an outdoor event in style.

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!

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.

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

Maldives memories… the clear turquoise waters, the white beaches of the Indian Ocean paradise are a magnet for anyone with an interest in marine life. There is a lot to do and on the other hand, there is nothing to do. The Maldives is a haven of peace, quietness, solitude, and relaxation. Something I absolutely needed.
However, as the scenery was so stunning, I booked a photographer to shoot some amazing outfits. While staying at the Ritz-Carlton Fari Islands resort, we had moved one day to a water villa where I shot this vibrant look overlooking the ocean. Personally speaking, the composition of these photos might be one of my favorites of all time.
My look: Manosque tiered taffeta maxi dress by Jacquemus (S/S 2020 «Le Coup de Soleil» Collection), pink high-heel platform mules by Versace, Baguette leather wallet on chain in pink by Fendi, toy choker necklace, and gummy bear hoop earrings, both by Balenciaga, and DiorSignature B1U cat-eye acetate and gold-tone sunglasses by Dior.
