The new muse … Founded in New York City by designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk in 2014, AREA was named after the pioneering New York nightclub of the same name. As design students at Parsons the two creative minds bonded over a mutual love of ’80s glamour and feminine silhouettes. I feel so inspired by the label’s high-octane embellishments.
My look: Cropped crystal-embellished checked cotton and wool-blend blazer
by AREA, distressed wide embellished paperback jeans by Miu Miu, suede-trimmed crystal-embellished mesh slingback pumps by Gucci, Cloud crystal-embellished suede clutch by Jimmy Choo, Cosette crystal-embellished velvet headband by Jennifer Behr, large crystal drop choker necklace by Alessandra Rich, and Big Bang All Black Zermatt by Hublot.

Sometimes I like to keep life simple, also in terms of fashion choices. Gabriela Hearst’s designs for Chloé are the perfect option when it comes to easy and cozy looks that will last for many years to come. Sustainable fashion at its best!
I am so in love with fashion’s newest hybrid, the puffcho, a blanket poncho that Gabriela Hearst hybridised with a high puffer collar for Chloé.
My look: Quilted shell-paneled fringed striped cashmere and silk-blend poncho, striped recycled cashmere-blend maxi dress, Jorge fringed striped recycled cashmere-blend shoulder bag, and Wavy striped recycled cashmere-blend and shearling slides, all by Chloé.

I am feeling a little bit more diva-ish than usual today. Must be … because it’s MY freaking BIRTHDAY that I am spending at the beautiful Gstaad Palace hotel.
Don’t forget: Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, but also the youngest you’ll ever be again. So my motto is, celebrate each day as if it was your birthday!
My look: Embellished black mink jacket, floral bustier top, matching high waisted briefs , ruched tulle skirt, wallet bag with detachable chain belt, and mini leather shoulder bag, and Astra sandals by Sophia Webster.

This feed was in need of some summer clothes and a vibrant look. Have you planned already your summer vacation? I haven’t so far but after spending so many weeks in Gstaad, I will definitely head back to Clinique La Prairie, where those photos were taken at the pool, for some detox before going the beach.
If you make waves, you change a situation by doing things in a very different way, so why not playing with your accessories and putting on a turban to stir things up.
My look: Lovestruck ruffled crepe cropped blouse
, and Riders rickrack-trim cotton midi skirt, both by Zimmermann, Aimee suede clutch by Khaite, Oya crystal-embellished leather and PVC sandals
by Amina Muaddi, printed turban, and gold-tone and wood hoop clip earrings, both by Dolce & Gabbana.
Next adventure is waiting. I am off to Paris for couture week.

Today, I have sported my new FUSALP ski suit for the first time while taking a walk around Gstaad. Made of a totally stretch material for ease of movement, I have enjoyed doing some yoga stretches in the sunny weather. Thanks to its lightweight and high-tech materials, I don’t need to fear the cold or the humidity.
An icon of the brand’s collections, the MONTANA III jacket is as comfortable on the ski slopes as in the city. Made in a two-ply material with a high-performance microporous membrane, it is windproof, water-repellent and breathable. The ELANCIA II ski pants offer the same advantages, and are made of a technical Schoeller© softshell material with fleece backing.
Key pieces for the ski wardrobe, so comfortable you don’t want to take them off.
My look: MONTANA III jacket in ibis, and matching ELANCIA II ski pants in ibis, both by Fusalp, face-covered jersey roll-neck top by Balenciaga, Trekkgirl snow boots by Valentino, and
Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Celine.

At the moment, we have the most beautiful sunny weather here in Gstaad. So I sported for the first time some of my new pieces in the beige multicolor leopard Mizza motif from the DiorAlps capsule collection. The hooded down jacket is crafted in quilted technical fabric and is ideal for skiing. It has a windproof membrane, interior cuffs and numerous pockets, including one for a ski pass. I coordinated the look with the matching jumpsuit when I had lunch on the terrace of the Gstaad Palace.
My look: Hooded down jacket, stretch jumpsuit, ski gloves, and book tote, all by Dior, leather platform ankle boots by Versace, vintage mink Monogram earmuffs in brown, LV Link square sunglasses by Louis Vuitton, and pearl necklace by CHANEL.

Mixing two vibrant colors with some neutrals and adding some sparkle – that is my kind of power dressing. This exploration of taking colors that are opposites on the color wheel, like yellow and blue, and pairing them together to make interesting and complementary color combinations, is called color blocking and something I truly like to do. This trend is said to originate from the artwork of Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian.
My look: Corduroy puff-sleeve coat, matching corduroy mini skirt, tulle crop top with crystals, and crystal-embellished leather clutch, all by Prada, layered mesh bodysuit by Fendi, Holly embellished suede knee-high boots by Paris Texas, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, and Big Bang All Black Zermatt by Hublot.

It’s weekend – time to party, I miss those carefree days when we were dancing the night away. Dancing is literally my favorite thing to so and the best way to burn of those fondue calories. Unfortunately, Gstaad Palace‘s famous GreenGo hasn’t opened its doors this season (only for me to take these photos). So I can only dream how I would dress up to be a dancing queen.
My look: Belted silk-cady wide-leg jumpsuit, and VSLING small floral-print textured-leather shoulder bag, both by Valentino, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, black bow brooch by CHANEL, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, and rose diamond ring by Piaget.
